New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:
I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

The fact that ICE officers do not allow wrongfully detained people to “promptly go free” is a surprise to only one man in America.

Today at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago: Dozens of ICE agents violently confronted protesters, deploying chemical irritants on the crowd. Multiple people were injured. No arrests were observed.
New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"
Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

“A police department in Texas that arrested a local resident for complaining on social media about their city’s contaminated water supply has been ordered closed after failing to prove it provided any benefit to the community.”

Mitch McConnell disappeared for three months & kept his full salary. Disabled people are forced to prove they’re “still disabled” just to remain in legislated poverty. Folks on SNAP must re-apply and prove they’re “still poor”. Republican Senators don’t even have to prove they’re alive.
if you're a reporter "barred from recording video" by the government, you goddamn better record video

This right here is some top-shelf allyship, y'all. Some of these candidates are being told that their anti-trans talking points will win Serious Adult Voters. You've got to show them they're wrong. Make the weather vane swing back again.
Blue Heron Farm@blueheronfarm.bsky.social · 2w agoI finally sat down and wrote an email to the Talarico campaign. Doing nothing felt untenable. I encourage other decent Texans to communicate their disappointment. If this can help you get started, feel free to use anything that works for you
andrew what do you think about trans kids playing high school sports? “i actually dont think about childrens genitals, what a bizarre question”
If folks on here want to pretend that the only thing Talarico said was about sports, that's fine—it's also not true. He would ban gender affirming care for 17 year olds. And I'm sure many of you haven't tried to figure out how to keep a trans kid from killing themselves, so you don't get it

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he would pay $5,000 to every American if Republicans retained control of the U.S. House and Senate in the midterm elections, seemingly in an effort to incentivize votes for his party. www.wired.com/story/trump-...
Trump Probably Won't Give $5,000 to Every American if Republicans Win the Midterms
The eyebrow-raising proposal, delivered during the president’s speech at the midterm convention, would cost $1.2 trillion and would need congressional approval.

Well it took 11 years, but someone finally figured out you can actually include framing and context in a headline instead of just repeating and amplifying the lie. Not everyone figured that out, but at least someone did.
I really wish more Dems would go meta on this and ask whose interests it serves that candidates for the United States Senate are being asked about how they would micromanage the eligibility rules for local youth sports leagues.
Jordan aka Jirdan@slclunk.com · 2w agoAny answer other than “who gives a shit, republicans are using a dozen kids playing JV volleyball as a distraction from looting the county and covering for elite pedophiles” is cowardly horseshit
Texas is delaying the release of the state’s maternal mortality statistics until after the midterms. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...
Texas' first post-Roe look at maternal deaths won't be ready by midterms
Democrats say the timing is suspicious, given the Dec. 1 deadline is after Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republicans who supported the state’s abortion ban are up for reelection.

This man is a fucking monster who limped away from Chicago's mayor's office because he'd become unelectable after closing 50 schools and half of our city's publicly funded mental health care clinics, and covering up the fact that Chicago cops murdered a teenager. Stop whitewashing his ass!

When asked in 2019 how he feels about the event, Emanuel said, "This is not the first police shooting in Chicago's history. But it is the shooting that's led to the biggest changes.” Except it didn’t.
In 2019, the formerly confidential report written in 2016 by Chicago's inspector general, Joseph Ferguson, revealed that 16 fellow officers conspired to cover up the murder, including giving false statements “to exaggerate the threat McDonald posed.”
When Emanuel was being considered for Biden’s cabinet, I wrote a thread on why he’s a vile choice for anything. I’m reposting it here for anyone who doesn’t know his history. 🧵 Emanuel served as Obama's first Chief of Staff. He was also House Democratic leader in 2006.
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 3w agoWhy do people in national media, such as Jen Psaki tonight on MSNOW, act like Rahm Emanuel would be a legit option for president?

16 shots and a coverup Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
