www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6t4RsEA/ This is a fact and not debatable. The people who have lived in Palestine for centuries are the Palestinians indigenous to that land. Israel is a colonial project that was a panacea to European countries who did not want a Jewish state in Europe & were both racist &
I love the Blue Jays because I can go into a comedy show with them up 8-1 and then emerge from that comedy show an hour later and it's somehow 15-14, their starting pitcher has burst into flames, and George Springer has hit 2000 home runs.
Trump and Bondi fired actually experienced immigration judges. Now, claiming they don't have enough immigration judges, they're asking military lawyers from DOD to come over on detail and serve as temporary judges. Blatant way to further militarize immigration enforcement. apnews.com/article/pent...
Oh Hoffman. This is going to be hard on the nerves.
Oh God. Have a period. Have a baby! ( I used to say this to my husband when he got all whiney.)
Belgiumโs Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot tells Al Jazeera his country will impose sanctions against Israel and recognise Palestine as a state later this month at the United Nations General Assembly. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...
Spainโs MEP, Irene Montero: โIsrael just assassinated Yemenโs Prime Minister โ and nothing happens.โ โIsrael is the only entity that can commit genocide, bomb five countries, kill a prime minister, and still claim to be the victim.โ
The US broke the law. Media, normalizing it. Sick.
Iโm not an international law expert. Iโm a Georgia workers comp expert. But it seems unlikely to me that it is legal to carry out extra judicial summary execution of foreign nationals at sea. Not in a declared war. No authorization of any kind.
Those pupils. In a bright ass room.
Iโm old enough to remember when we had 47,000 congressional hearings over Hunter Biden allegedly making money off his fatherโs name. Meanwhile, Trumpโs corruption, in the billions, gets openly celebrated.
Never forget, repost -
Lord have mercy
Trump is provoking the general public to gain a reaction so that he can then invoke Martial Law. We see his game. It's not subtle but it must be resisted.
He sued Murdoch didnโt he?
Ding, Ding, Ding BINGO! ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฝ
Ryan Borucki is back with the Jays somehow, and he started out with them so long ago that the Jays infield in his 2018 MLB debut was: 1B Smoak 2B Travis SS Diaz, A. 3B Solarte You know who was the DH that day? Curtis Granderson. Russell Martin ended the day at 3B.
The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday). Epsteinโs victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.
From the latest proof of life video released by the White House, Trump is caked with make up, reporters kept at a distance, voice is weak, and the podium is acting as a walker to help him stand up. It's not looking good health wise.
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
The whole Space Command story is about a debt he has to pay for his last election. There are Trump cronies who stand to gain billions and Trump owes the debt. Follow the money. With Trump it is always the money unless it is illicit sex with children. Hey Epstein? www.rawstory.com/thomas-massi...
Trump announced he assassinated a boat full of civilians in the Caribbean that he alleges were drug smugglers (no evidence provided and even so, not a proportionate strike if true). Marco Rubio also used his social media to boast of the war crime.
The common denominator in every place where birth rates are dropping is womenโs increased access to education.
Priceless.
Ketchup and shit is gonna hit the fan.
Not a single reporter has asked about Trumpโs health yet. Doocy asked how โhe found out he was deadโ this weekend, and thatโs as close as itโs gotten.
trump is talking about the number of people killed by gun violence in chicago right after saying guns aren't a problem in america.
Iโd forgotten about this!

The cool thing about a White House announcement these days is that itโs either they took the woke out of Cheetos or we just invaded Venezuela. No in between. Iโd love to hear something about Trump more directly but Iโm convinced the news weโre all waiting for will just happen without warning.
I was raised not to kick people when they are down. But this m-f*cker and his Right wing media minions did nothing but attack Biden's health, question his mental acuity, etc., etc. Biden is a healthy if doddering old man. DJT is a lifetime bully who deserves whatever he gets. I hope it hurts.
Deal!
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social - think we have the next topic for a book.
I know that look. That's the look of a geriatric patient who just underwent a necessary & scary procedure and needs several days/weeks to recover from it.
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
Yes please.

Something press pool could ask about
Statement from Trump about his good friend Rudy Giuliani who was injured in a serious car crash on Saturday:
The National Guardners
There isn't one randomly capitalized word in this post. If they think they're fooling anyone but maga they're fucking delusional. But it doesn't matter, because that's who it's for.
Happy Labor Day ๐
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesnโt even almost sound like a Trump tweet

Without a word of a lie, I knew someone who actually believed that Labour Day was about honouring mothers.
Just watch how brutal Maga world will be about this.
Just watch for Melonoma to show up in DC. Sheโll be brought back to play the bereaved widow before they announce his death.

Oh, the irony if #DonaldTrump dies before Joe Biden. What will corporate media do with itself?

Pardons werenโt good enough. Now they want a payout (like Ashley Babbitโs family got).
Make no mistake, everything thatโs happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
Retired palliative care nurse practitioner here. He's sitting more than standing or walking. He's not always wearing a tie because engorged jugular veins are irritating. Pauses when he speaks for catching his breath. All possible signs of heart failure. Yet, no estimate of when.
Lovely thread. Thank you.
A new book "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York [about Prince Andrew] quotes Jeffrey Epstein saying that he had sex with Melania Trump a full year before Donald Trump started his relationship with her. After threats from Melania, the publisher removed this from the audiobook and e-book.

Brilliant
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the โpathological irony of crisisโ: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
Him dying before Biden would be poetic. Jake Tapper paying attention?
Trump knew he had health issues when he ran for president but oh no it was all about Biden. ๐ก
Although I already follow you, I donโt see you on my timeline much. Thank you for this scathing post!
I noticed that too. Slack-jawed.

Always a mafia shakedown. Always compensating for not having what the Black President got. What a small, awful man.
I wasnโt super convinced that something was seriously wrong with Trump until he tweeted this
Free advice for the administration: If you want to stop the Trump health coverage, maybe stop posting verifiably old videos and keeping him as far away from cameras as humanly possible
