- An English message for an Arabic-speaking population whose communications you’ve already cut off is how you know this is propaganda for Western audiences.An urgent message for the residents of Gaza:
00:00 - Radical cleric issues fatwa supporting assassination of foreign leader.Pat Robertson calls on the US military to take out Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro with a drone strike.
00:00 - Walz was actually a great pick for the pro-worker campaign it looked like they were preparing to run before they decided nah let’s focus on moderate Republican unicorns.🧵 1/ The election ended 3 weeks ago. Enough time has passed. We -- or I -- can now safely pronounce that the Tim Walz VP pick was a dud. Let me explain:
- Everyone who keeps saying “The war ends today if Hamas releases the hostages” has been lying to you.Israel won’t end war for deal to free all hostages, PM’s aide said to tell families timesofisrael.com/israel-wont-en…
- Pelosi applauded some truly awful portions of the speech but at least she gave you suckers a good gif at the end.
- Weird how he just always seems to show up when authoritarians are around.SPOTTED: Elon Musk is in the Capitol. He just walked into the House. He wouldn’t say why he’s here.
- Maybe having a supreme council of unelected clerics with lifetime appointments was a bad plan.
- People really need to understand that Mahmoud Khalil’s views are actually irrelevant. What’s being threatened here is the right to protest.
- “More specifically, Hamas objects to the fact that the proposal doesn't include a permanent ceasefire…” Come on man.Hamas rejects new U.S. proposal for Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal trib.al/oo27cAP
- Have you considered that God is intervening but not on your sideTrump arraigned, Marxist wins Mayoral race in Chicago, and Democrats flip Supreme Court in Wisconsin. Very bad day. No spin, no bs. Country is in collapse. We need God and dutiful action.
- Saudi Arabia decides it’s in their interest to cut oil production, fine. Maybe the US decides it’s in its interests to ground the Saudi Air Force. For starters. I don’t know, just thinking out loud.
- Hey journalists, if you're not quoting actual Palestinians in your pieces on Trump's plan for stealing their land and denying their rights, you're not doing journalism, you're doing PR.
