@alonpinkas.bsky.social You are my go-to when seeking unvarnished info about Israel/Gaza.
I really appreciate your TV appearances on CNN and MSNBC.

Good for him putting a stop to the gaslighting, and sparing his audience. I'd like to see a lot more off this, but I'm not holding my breath.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

This Palestinian man shed tears of joy upon finding his home in northern Gaza still standing.

Thousands of Palestinians are returning mostly to rubble in the north, following the pullback of Israeli forces under the ceasefire terms.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

Vought, we are told, is a pious man who never curses. Ok! Not a word about his Christian nationalism; instead, one of the most influential political platforms in the world chooses to perpetuate the number one fallacy about the modern Right: That this is all about “small government.”
