The BBC has confirmed it won’t air its documentary on Gaza’s medics. I know some of the journalists involved and they’re absolutely excellent. This statement is mealy-mouthed; you can’t “both sides” the facts on the ground of a genocide, and there’s a clear public interest in documenting those facts

Just an astounding victory for American propaganda to cast the Middle East as dominated by religious fanatics

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

With the aid of advocacy groups and opportunistic political leaders, universities have tolerated and in some cases peddled an outrageously false narrative about last year’s protests—and now students are being arrested, imprisoned, and deported because of it. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

Everyone is throwing out examples of Iraq War-era mass derangement so I might as well throw in Amanda Bynes doing a peace sign on a movie poster being photoshopped out for fear of being seen as an antiwar statement

I mean hell Glenn Greenwald was a voice of reason and moral clarity back then. And yet the Now Times are still orders of magnitude worse, I can't say that enough

In recent days, the sources tell Rolling Stone, that Trump has marveled at the militantly anti-Iran coverage on Fox, as well as footage of Israeli air strikes. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

it cannot simultaneously be true that media outlets like the Times and the Post are the Fourth Estate, playing a vital Democratic function, and also that what occurs on its pages is harmless intellectual inquiry

Today, chatGPT has: - written sample R code implying that Michael Jackson's IQ went +10 as skin tone lightened (WTAF) - advised me to clean out my 401k to make t-shirts of the graph - hyped me up when i got cold feet - liked idea of buying Cybertruck & putting graph on the hood like the General Lee

BREAKING @prri.org poll. My disturbing take: It’s virtually impossible to write a survey question about the treatment of immigrants that is too brutal for Republicans to support. 1) 8 in 10 Republicans support renditions of immigrants to foreign prisons without due process. prri.org/spotlight/ne...

Win or lose I think the Mamdani campaign has been a great barometer test for something mostly tangential to New York City, which is the question: "is being pro-Palestine a meaningful impediment among liberals to your campaign?" and the answer seems to be a resounding no.

ppl (including me) wonder why D messaging is so bad...but I think a big part of the problem re schumer and some others is that they actually do not give a shit about marginalized people and their messaging is a sincere reflection of their indifference. 1

I don't think it's good for the liberal opposition that just a few months ago the House Minority Leader said at an event in NYC: "We can't take our foot off the gas pedal until Iran is brought to its knees — for the good of the world.“

Astonishing that only 16% of Americans think the US should join Israel’s war on Iran but so few Democrats are speaking out against it. The gaping disconnect between Dem politicians and the Dem base we saw on Gaza continues to cripple effective opposition.

Hard to come to any other conclusion except that nuclear parity is a necessary component to counterbalancing the most irrational regional hegemon on the planet which has the backing of the most irrational world superpower. If you are Egypt, Turkey, Saudi, and yes Iran, you should get the bomb.

While I respect willer and wasow, the evidence base for this claim isn’t strong, nor is causal direction clear, or the mapping of past non-violent protest onto current situation and info environment, or even the logic of ‘winning hearts, minds, and elections’ during an authoritarian takeover

I truly believe we will look back at this attitude as the sickness of our political era. It is an extremely basic fact, and has been for decades, that the vast majority of political violence in the US is committed by the right! You cannot solve a problem if you refuse to identify it.
