JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."

Trump defends use of U.S. military against 'enemy within'

Earlier, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the purpose of the department would exclusively be "war fighting."

Trump just called us "the enemy within"

Those are LITERALLY the words Adolf Hitler used to describe Jews in Nazi Germany. Literally the same words.

There was never going to be a deal that considered the rights of Palestinians. The plan was always to present something that liberal zionists and the media can defend with "better than death", written in the most humiliating and insulting manner in the hopes that Hamas will turn it down.

Content warning for sexual harassment and self harm.

Re: Jen (yagirljenwow/jenwow/puppinmusic)

It was brought to our attention a thread had been made about a situation that I had really wanted to remain private for my own mental health. Jen has constantly brought it up, and I had to say something.

@everyone Important

(content warnings for sexual harassment and mentions of self harm)

Re Jen:

As many of you may have noticed Jen (jenwow/puppinmusic) was removed from the space in early July. Jen sexually harassed me in DMs, and admitted to knowing it would break my boundaries but wanted to do it anyway. Following Jen using Del's mutual aid to try and apologise (we refunded) and increasingly uncomfortable interactions, Jen was blocked, banned and removed from this space and a few others pup brought into the situation. I would also like to note, using someone's call for help surviving as an opportunity to apologise to their partner is beyond disgusting and so exploitative.

Recently we found out Jen still had access to the space and was getting updates. It had not told people what pup had done, but after a conversation with people involved, her access was cut off and we also learnt she had been knowingly manipulating people with implied threats of self harm. Following the person blocking Jen, it made a Bluesky thread referring to the Sexual Harassment as a 'joke' and trying to gain sympathy for its actions. I never ever wanted to have to talk about this publicly, but Jen is taking my options away and belittling the harm it caused.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

And thus, the only ones not involved in the plan for Palestine's future are the Palestinians. A genocidal country and its funder decide, to loud applause, that the genocide will go unpunished, the victims unheard, the land stolen, a future in the hands of the perpetrators only.

Did you know ICE is holding a disabled advocate and whistleblower who helped shut down one of their detention centres?

Alma Bowman is a 58 year old woman from Georgia who spent 30 months in ICE custody during the first Trump regime.

When released she became a fearless advocate for detainees 🧵

More context:

For additional context: Alex put his feet up in the extra seat next to him, the white woman sitting across from him complained that you're not meant to sit that way. Although it is a rule to not take up extra seats, that is only in the context that the train is full and in the video you can see there are over 4 empty seats and therefore he was allowed to take up the single extra seat next to him and absolutely in no way should have been arrested.

I haven't seen anyone else talk about this so I felt the need to inform! Alex O'Keefe, a writer for "The Bear," was arrested on a train for "not sitting correctly." Video linked in the post below.

A picture of Alex in handcuffs surrounded by four cops as they write him up.

A screenshot from Alex's Instagram:
"I was arrested on the @MTA train to Connecticut today, pulled off, handcuffed, and detained. An old white woman got on the train and immediately pointed at me and told me to correct how I was sitting. I refused so she went to the conductor and complained. The conductor called the police and stopped the train. While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said “You’re not the minority anymore.” The police told me to leave the train, I refused and asked what was I doing illegally. They said I was disturbing the peace by not leaving the train. They pulled me off the train and arrested me without even talking to the Karen who reported the one black person on the train. On the platform, the police detained me and interrogated me. Only black folks stayed nearby and recorded the arrest. When I demanded a lawyer and reminded them they didn’t even take a statement from the woman who complained they eventually released me. This country is growing more psycho by the day. What will you do about it?"

A screenshot of a comment on Alex's posts from user m0thb4lls:
"the MTAPD officers name and badge numbers in this video are:
CHORLEV #2415
DISANZA #3208"

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

While you’re cancelling your Disney and Hulu subscriptions, don’t forget to cancel Disney vacations.

Their theme parks and cruise ships make a ton of money.

A graphic Starry made for her weekly stream schedule! The background image is a photo of a place in Honkai: Star Rail called the Dream's Edge in a realm known as the dreamscape. It overlooks a vast cityscape and you can see the light on the horizon as the shooting stars fall from the heavens. The text on the graphic reads: "Starry's Weekly Stream Schedule | september 14th - september 19th | sunday 9/14 3pm PST is no stream | tuesday 9/16 6pm PST is a gacha game | thursday 9/18 6pm PST is stardew valley | friday 9/19 6pm PST is date everything | Starry may do spontaneous unscheduled streams too!" At the bottom left corner of the graphic is the link to Starry's twitch channel but it is not clickable.
