TRUMP: Suspending who?

Thank you for sharing this, Ben. I hope you'll return to going to places, and to being your authentic selves. Such a shame you were both made to feel so uncomfortable by restrictive societal "norms" and gatekeepers.

The war in Gaza ended 6 to 9 months ago. It’s been pure genocide—a straight-up slaughter-and-starvation campaign—since then. Under no circumstances should anyone pretend that Netanyahu is still fighting a “war” just so that Trump can get a photo op and say he “ended” it.

Do better, corporate media.

Trump’s Gaza peace plan does not resolve all the issues, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues. "But Trump is counting on the force of his personality, the exhaustion of the parties, and the momentum created by the initial agreement to ultimately end the war entirely."

The Gaza War Isn’t Over Yet. But It Could Be Soon.

Trump may have ended the Gaza hostage crisis. Can he end the Gaza war?

Just a reminder that Jack published a book last year called “unhumans” that makes the argument that all Democrats and anyone left of Francisco Franco should be rounded up and murdered en mass for the rest of the populations entertainment.
Jack is a Nazi and hell bent on the murder of his opponents

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

Sticking with car dependence is a failure of imagination, particularly when the wide range of benefits of ending car dependence is so clear.

A couple of weeks ago I heard an Israeli Govt spokesperson on Piers Morgan’s show…

He said Israel had killed 20,000 Hamas terrorists

This week we learn:

18,457 children confirmed dead

55,000 children acutely malnourished

So a war on children as much as a war on Hamas.

Just Jack Posobiec, of pizzagate ‘fame’, advising the White House. Because of course he is.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Trump brags they stripped speech rights, pushing a one year mandatory minimum for incitement. He cites flag burning despite Texas v. Johnson protecting it. Flanked by Bondi, Noem, and Patel, he recasts protest as crime.

President Donald Trump gave off-the-cuff remarks at a round-table meeting on Wednesday that included Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel, and others, where he acknowledged his administration has taken away some freedom of speech rights.Trump t...
