The Yanks are cooked (and cooking the rest of us) - The Shot

American authoritarianism is an echo of tyrants’ past and its own unique perversion: shrouded in goldleaf, ski masks, and utter bullshit.

We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Scans of parking lots, antennas, and pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

NSW Premier Chris Minns has rejected calls to light up the Sydney Opera House in the colours of the Palestinian flag as he did for Israel. Says it could be “inflaming the situation”
Palestinian flag is inflammatory? This man is an absolute disgrace.

For decades the propaganda of the US media (news, film and tv) has rptedly reminded us: "Israel does not negotiate with terrorists." In 2025, it's clear: Hamas are not the terrorists. Hezbollah are not the terrorists. Israel are the terrorists. #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

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.

Same. It's always like this as far as I can tell. We get to be correct and ignored forever.

As long as we get sausages in bread every three or four years, Australians are gonna sleepwalk their way through this fascistic global push. More of you need to be more serious, sooner rather than later.

In the Trump era, this is terrifying. Apparently criticising capitalism 🥴🤣 is terrorism now in the US.

The AFP has set up new National Security Investigations (NSI) teams to target groups and individuals causing high levels of harm to Australia's social cohesion.
The NSI teams will work closely with state and territory police, law enforcement and national security partners to provide a coordinated, consistent and intelligence-led response to security threats, and also work on a global level through operations, capabilities and relationships with the international law enforcement intelligence community.
There are current and emerging groups dispersed across Australia and in some cases, overseas, who are eroding our country's social fabric by advocating hatred, fear, and humiliation. While many of these crimes may not meet the threshold of terrorism, the AFP has identified concerning behaviours which could escalate to politically-motivated violence or hate crimes, which seriously put the Australian community at risk.
There is no place for hate or violence in our communities and the AFP will defend and protect Australia and Australia's future from these threats.
Anyone with information about possible threats to the community or suspicious activity should make a report to the National Security Hotline on 1800 123 400. In an emergency or life-threatening situation, contact Triple

Thank you! That's totally correct. I mistakenly attributed the phrase to Inuit in the interview. Just a really beautiful, accepting description

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

These costumes really ruin the optics of the propaganda videos the far right wants to make, which is what they're there for.

ICE will eventually target them and brutalize them to try to run them off, so they can get useful propaganda video. I hope they're prepared for that.
