Not a single Israel defender has ever been able to defend this. They just pretend it doesn't exist, even though it defies any of their supposed 'arguments'.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.
"Blocked" is a strange way to describe a sitting member of Congress being held at gunpoint with US made rifles
Leah McElrath@leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 4w ago⚠️ US Representative Ro Khanna was detained at gunpoint by Israeli “settlers” and the IDF while traveling in the West Bank. “Imagine how people feel every day, Palestinians under the occupation, if they could make an American congressperson feel powerless for 90 minutes.” Gift link:
I can't believe I have to say this but the point is not "corrupt World Cups are not new". It's that this specific World Cup has been a succession of "f**k yous" to various parts of the global football community, and this is the latest one. And I doubt it will be the last.

It's an objective fact that Elon Musk is a mass murderer. He intentionally caused the deaths of millions of people. There's no caveats to this, no alternative explanations, no defenses, no missing context; that was the sole reason for doing what he did.

Trump yelled at Netanyahu but the status quo is the same. He declared a ceasefire but the south is still being devastated by Israel. Attacks are striking closer to Beirut (a car in Khalde this morning). This was all a show (real or not) that allowed the continuation of the same tactics
"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.
