    Trump is hoping Iran attacks American soil He & Israel & Raytheon investors may ensure it—via a false flag—for support But this time it’s different: If Iran bombs Washington, or missile depots, Americans wont give a FUCK If “Iran” bombs civilians, we’ll know it’s a false flag

    Asked earlier today whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump said: “I guess.” “Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.” I have no words. He can’t even pretend to give a single fuck about human life.

    This interaction from an Amazon delivery driver is making the rounds on the r/Antiwork subreddit, whose moderators vet the authenticity of posts. One of the highest-engagement posts this year on one of the highest-engagement subreddits.

    cannot be overstated just how terrified the ruling class is of the fact that young people can bypass their carefully manufactured propaganda. if they can’t reproduce that indoctrination in every generation, the whole thing will fall apart, which is already happening

    He alerted reporters the morning prior to doing it. He streamed his act live on Twitch, stating his purpose: protesting “genocide” against Palestinians. As he went up in flames he shouted “Free Palestine” This headline from the Times is an utter disgrace to my former profession

    And yet. The New York Times obscures the reason. They try to deny and minimize his sacrifice. We will not let them. This man set his flesh on fire FOR PALESTINE. Honor him and his conviction.

    Oil prices now at “negative values,” meaning oil producers have to pay people to take it off their hands and store it because when demand plunges (like now), that is less expensive for them than building more storage and/or shutting wells down.

    To label @davidsirota, one of the country’s most intellectually honest journalists devoted to investigating political and financial corruption (who has at times left journalism for politics, always to return), as a mere Internet “troll” is to not be an honest journalist yourself

    While he might perfunctorily chide his followers, Sanders hired one of social media’s most aggressive trolls, David Sirota. Sanders cannot possibly mean to control animosity spewing from his camp while hiring people infamous for such conduct. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…

    The only answer is the one the mayor of Camden, NJ took about 8 years ago: fire them all. Every last police officer, all at once, summarily fired. Replace most of them with social-worker types. Crime went down. Way down. Oh yeah—the cops’ union sued to reverse it. They LOST.

    New from @Me: Police chiefs around the country wanted us to believe they were appalled by the actions of the officers in George Floyd’s death. But by the weekend, their officers made clear they had learned nothing. The police is incapable of change. slate.com/news-and-polit…

    It is not partisan to suggest that mailing boxes of masks to every resident seems like a thing a functional government would do, and that anything less is almost certainly a hallmark of a non-functional government.

    Identifying a FUCKTON of people to unfollow tonight. People who have conveniently forgotten that twelve days ago, Israel FLATTENED Iran’s embassy in another country Did you know that to find precedent for bombing an embassy, you have to go back 1000 years?

    Student politely tries to reference Biden’s declining cognitive abilities Sanders is even more polite, suggesting (maybe rightly so) that Biden’s nonsensical answers are more about not addressing issues head-on. Let no one say that Sanders is a departure from decency or honor

    Yesterday the @FCC claimed the Internet "thrived" before net neutrality. I called propaganda. Here's my data to back that up—telecoms behaving in anti-consumer ways in 2005, 2005 (again), 2007-2009, 2011, 2011-2013, 2012, 2012 (again), 2013. This must be "thriving" to @AjitPaiFCC
