it’s so cool how social medias (instagram in this case) have seemingly given up even pretending to combat the radicalization present on their websites
This is whole story is horrifying, and as a journalist covering ICE flights, I was struck by this sentence: “We were shipped to Texas overnight from Los Angeles in horrible conditions that I won’t elaborate on in this letter.”

Third Way — which has declared "war" on progressives — is a Trojan Horse for corporate America. Their funding sources are a Star Wars cantina of billionaire megadonors, Fortune 500 CEOs, giant corporations, and corporate dark money bundlers.

There's no "middle" between neofascist corporatism and democracy

"There is no functioning “Board of Peace” or roadmap to end the genocide or mechanism to create a Palestinian state. Israel has refused to implement/abide by any of the conditions of Trump’s “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict” since its inception." chrishedges.substack.com/p/gazas-boar...
Gaza’s Board of Pieces
Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza is a mirage, a conjuring trick in which peace is unilaterally declared as Israel seizes more Palestinian land and brings the genocide to its grim conclusion.

Hamas agreed to “process to decommission+store heavy weapons, military production sites, depots of weapons+ tunnels, shall begin after completing the remaining commitments under Sharm Sheikh Protocol...” with Israel withdrawal. Israel refuses. Ethnic cleansing now." mondoweiss.net/2026/08/trum...
Trump and Israel are demanding that Palestinians disarm. Here is why that is wrong and unjust.
Demands that Hamas disarm follow decades of international calls for a “demilitarized Palestinian state.” These demands insist that Palestinians surrender their right to self-defense, a right no people...

David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN
We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
