te drīzāk der šī anekdote.
- Слышал "Битлз", не понравилось. Картавят, фальшивят, что только в них находят?
- А где ты их слушал?
- Мне Мойша по телефону напел.
Tā arī ar to konvenciju.

Trump, speaking in the Israeli parliament, boasts about the weapons the U.S. has provided and says "you obviously used them very well."

NEW: In a stunning intervention in Israel’s domestic politics, President Trump went off script during his address to the Israeli parliament and urged President Issac Herzog to pardon Benjamin Netanyahu, who is standing trial on three corruption charges.

If something happens to Trump relatively soon healthwise, you just know they will repurpose this as the Deep State killing them with the booster shot

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Again, unless you’re hanging out on specific corners of Bluesky or Twitter, you’re likely not exposed to these videos of ICE being out of control. Mainstream media and other important validating institutions are ignoring it because they’re convinced that’s the savvy play.

I'm very, very fucking disappointed in American athletes, especially right now

So much social justice in America was gained by famous athletes being on the front lines of those fights. We are getting absolutely nothing right now.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 2d

The reason the ICE videos aren’t producing a backlash of that scale (yet) is that our institutional elites are deeply committed to ignoring them, which both reduces their spread and reduces the sense that this is something important we SHOULD be freaking out about.

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

Jau kurais LSM mēģinājums whitewashot Izraēlas noziegumus pret Palestīnu, cenšoties tos pasniegt kā "Nu tur Izraēlā varbūt viss nav labi, bet viņiem citas iespējas nebija kā šī". Ziniet, Izraēlai ir visas iespējas kaut vai tūlīt pārtraukt genocīdu pret citu tautu un atļaut saņemt humāno palīdzību.

This shit is crazy because they're just straight up on video hitting a car that was blocked in the street. The extent as to which DHS now just brazenly puts out lies is utterly obscene.

CJ Ciaramella @cjciaramella.bsky.social · 3d

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”
