🚨BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson just announced he’s shutting down the House until SEPTEMBER to block a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Let that sink in. Congress is being intentionally frozen to protect pedophiles.

I understand why people are asked to condemn Hamas when they killed 1,200 people, including 36 children. I can't understand why no one is asked to condemn Israel, which has killed over 58,000 people and 20,000 children. They've killed more than 50 times the civilians as Hamas.

To argue Israel isnt committing genocide bec not enough people have been murdered fundamentally misunderstands genocide-it’s targeting an ethnic population in whole OR IN PART. We also don’t have reliable numbers! And must stop it before we reach the # that will convince you

Last night's phone call from a life long British friend who is in the upper hierarchy of their intelligent service. Paraphrase his opening line: "Peter, I can't understand why your national media failed to report what most NATO countries and Israel have known for over a decade:

The fun thing about Americans is that they will take examples like this to advocate for some batshit insane, backwards idea that women shouldn’t work, rather than just implementing maternity leave like every other civilized nation on earth.

Had an appointment today that I couldn’t do over the phone or zoom. Wore my mask as usual, and as soon as I sat down, the person I was meeting with asked me “and you have a phobia of what?” I said nothing, “my family and I haven’t been sick in years, we’d like to keep it

Keith Wearing a masks to prevent illness is not a new phenomenon. Japan has been masking up every flu season for decades. Year after year they have the lowest rates of flu related hospitalizations and deaths.

Lol umm, maybe 1/3 true. Hi, former homeless guy here, the majority of long time street folk, do not want anything like the housing that they are offered. Why? Because it has entry requirements they have no interest in meeting, or prohibits freedom of movement. 1/?

Just over the last 24 hours: * A GHF security guard admitted to massive slighter of unarmed starving civilians. * Israeli media reported that Israel has been “letting in aid” and then destroying it in huge numbers. * An Israeli security official admitted that Hamas is not

Years ago I went out with a very-wealthy Jewish girl from Boston who was big in the art scene in NYC. Met her at some bar in Brooklyn where bike couriers hang out; proceeded to spend a month straight with her. She did coke 24/7, took me to VIP rooms at tons of clubs, and seemed

It appears that Netanyahu realized the current aid policy was a catastrophe weeks ago. But was determined to hold on until the Knesset break began before announcing a change so that Ben-Gvir and Smotrich would not be able to dissolve the government. Today is the 26th which is

Is there any reason why just building a fuck ton of state owned housing wouldn't fix the housing crisis?

During Covid I was training teachers on a small island in the Pacific. We were one of the very last places in the world to be without any infections, and the island didn't get covid there til summer 2022.

ICE is deporting a permanent legal US resident from Korea, a scientist researching a Lyme disease vaccine who has lived here since age 5, citing a minor pot possession charge 14 years ago for which he did community service. My fellow Americans, this is absolute madness.

For people in California, here's the official tsunami bulletin. tsunami.gov/events/PAAQ/20…

After 10 weeks of being in Europe I learned everyone…Italians, Germans, Danes, French etc are all afraid to even visit the States. They all really think they’re going to be deported the minute they land.

In case you missed it, the United States of America has been added to a watch list following sustained attacks on civic freedoms across the country. Other nations on that list: Turkey, Serbia, El Salvadore, Indonesia, and Kenya. The 3 main reasons for being placed on that list:

Amir walked 12 kilometres, barefoot, to get food. He kissed the hand of an American soldier, thanking him for a bag of rice and lentils. Then Israel killed Amir, right in front of the soldier. A child, grateful for lentils. Executed in broad daylight. Amir was 5 years old.
