Half of US broadcast network dramas are about cops Perhaps one reason why America’s national reckoning on police brutality took so long to arrive is because TV is conditioning its citizens to view cops as reliable heroes.

“Jews are overrepresented in the media.”

No, no, no, you’re thinking of cops. Cops are overrepresented in the media.

Folks, I regret to inform you: This design was OK'd by the Citizens Coin Advisory Committee in...October 2024. Its design was set in place when Biden was in office. The designer left out the olive branch to symbolize the colonists' not yet achieving peace, but hoping for it. Trump didn't do this.

Director Geeta Gandbhir is the first woman ever nominated for Oscars in both documentary categories in the same year; her films are "The Perfect Neighbor" and "The Devil Is Busy."

The nominations are "an incredible honor" but also "a platform to talk about the issues," Gandbhir says.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

The battle over solar on farms Agrivoltaics is either a green revolution or a poison pill for good land. Depends which farmers you ask.

As of 2024, there were 600+ agrivoltaics sites in the US producing 10 gigawatts of energy, enough to power 7.5M homes.

But the US is a small player compared with China, which generates more than 3x as much energy from such projects, or France, which gets 20% of its solar power from agrivoltaics.

Good news, everyone!

Iran’s military capabilities have been completely destroyed!

Except for the drones, the mines and the missiles they can use

(He apparently forgot about the 1 million or so troops Iran still has, plus tanks, munitions, and proxies but hey, who’s counting)

SCOOP. From my OUR LAND newsletter: Trump's DOJ is helping to get a convicted FBI informant tied to Russian intelligence out of prison. The lie this guy told the FBI—Joe Biden took a $5m bribe from Burisma—was the main evidence for the GOP impeachment drive. 1/2

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
