Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.
"FT has found evidence of controlled detonations and demolitions by Israeli forces and civilian contractors in dozens of border communities." Most of the destruction happened *after* the April ceasefire when territory was already under Israeli control (dark red dots). www.ft.com/content/25bc...
This is what propaganda looks like: the US “continues responding with intermittent strikes.” Iran harasses, its proxies disrupt, Tehran demands. Israely bombing of Lebanon is absent. In fact - It is not just a war of choice but an illegal one, with war crimes committed in Iran and Lebanon.

Hittestress in de woning is een urgent thema. Wat weinig aandacht krijgt: degenen die het meest worden blootgesteld aan hittestress kunnen er het minst tegen doen.

Politie: ‘Bankovervallers niet gepakt, want ze hadden een panty over hun hoofd. In dit soort situaties is het heel ingewikkeld, dus we laten het erbij.’
Politica die de afgelopen week haar kaken stijf op elkaar hield toen intolerantie, misogenie en racisme uitmondde in onverholen terreur blikt strijdvaardig vooruit op Pride
A mother gave the government her fingerprints, tax records, and DNA to get her 6-year-old daughter back. She did everything officials asked. ICE used that information to find and arrest her. A child welfare system became a deportation tool. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
ICE Turned Family Reunification Into A Deportation List
A program created to place migrant children with relatives has become a pipeline for deportation arrests.

Incredible chart from @propublica.org. If you don’t follow enviro stuff closely, your instinct might be that the hold-your-nose solution (carbon capture from fossil fuels) would be the “pragmatic” one versus covering Earth in solar panels, which seems utopian. In fact it’s the opposite
“Simply put: Dem Socialists (+17 pt net fav) are more popular than Dems in Congress (+4 pt net fav) with Dems… it’s no wonder they’re winning in primaries across the country… This is one of the biggest political changes I’ve seen in my lifetime.”
The most bombed countries in the last 50 years are all Muslim. But somehow Muslims are the terrorists?
Nazi Germany used reprisal killings and collective punishment in WOII, massacring civilians in retaliation for attacks on German soldiers. But even these notorious war crimes were not carried out on the scale we are witnessing in Gaza and Lebanon today.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 2mo agoIsraeli national security minister, Ben Gvir, calls for the genocidal destruction of Lebanon by saying "all of Lebanon must burn." The Israeli government are genocidal maniacs.
This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas
Grote bek tegen Rusland, maar dan wel steeds de voeten van Israël likken en smeken dat ze het internationaal recht een klein beetje meer respecteren.
Kaja Kallas@kajakallas.bsky.social · 2mo agoRussia is on the back foot: militarily, economically and politically. Now is the time to provide Ukraine with even greater support and to exert even more pressure on Russia to end the war. This was the focus of my discussion with Minister of Defence of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov.
Having ultra wealthy people is not a sign of a healthy society. It is a sign of a diseased society.
En dit; de rijkste man van de wereld koopt met z’n geld extreemrechtse macht en invloed. Daarin beleggen instituties en individuen dus nog steeds. In fascisme. Ging het hier maar dag in dag uit over aan de tv-tafels. Hoe mensen elke dag beïnvloed worden. Dat het marionetten zijn. Frontsoldaatjes.

Er was een zogenaamde "ordedienst". Ze droegen jassen van het merk Helly Hansen. Het logo "HH" verwijst natuurlijk naar een bekende uitdrukking. Daarnaast droegen ze een rode band. Ron S. van Identitair Verzet droeg ook een Zwarte Zon. Openlijk neonazisme.
