They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

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.

Act like it.

Ukraine: 15,172 civilians killed since Feb 2022 (~10/day)

Gaza: 57,000 since Oct 2023 (~64/day)

Sudan: 55,000 since Apr 2023 (~52/day)

Iran: 1,500 in 10 days
Lebanon: 600 in a week

Every war and civilian death is a tragedy. Yet global outrage clearly isn’t equal.

White > Muslims > black 🫣

In their Wednesday CCC matchup, Klauss and the Galaxy wore black armbands in honor of Ilona Löwen, Edu’s wife who passed away from cancer this week. #AllForCITY #AllForEdu

h/t @galaxypodcast.bsky.social for the comments

A classy move by former teammate João Klauss who asked his new club to show support for Edu Löwen in last night’s CCC match. The Galaxy wore black armbands in tribute to Ilona Löwen in their victory. #AllForEdu #AllForCITY

Massive respect to the LA Galaxy. #AllForCITY

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year:
-1.4 million people on Medicaid
-19 million kids getting free school lunches
-1.4 million people getting affordable housing
-1.1 million hungry seniors fed
-0.8 million children given free child care

I’m so tired of Neto. His production doesn’t come close to earning him a pass for his conduct the past few months.

We are not a serious club

Fucking hell. Delap, who does fuck all, and Lavia, who just had a horrid game last time out, are your key subs? And taking off our two most lethal forwards for them in a one goal game? Yikes.

the problem with making white flag subs with 5 minutes left in the game on the road, therefore saying ur okay with a 1 goal deficit, Mr.Rosenior, is the other team can still score.

No words man. Can we get a competent keeper please? I’m not even asking for a world class one, just one that won’t cost us 4+ games every single year

Great by Dembele, absolutely. Horrific defending with multiple players diving in and not coming close to getting a tackle, also yes. Chelsea can’t defend slowly or quickly anymore

Only Arsenal get that call. What a joke of a penalty

i genuinely cannot process how debased our ruling class is. these guys will walk around all day in shoes that don't fit rather than tell their boss he's wrong. this whole thing where they pretend a stupid evil guy with brain damage is qualified to run every aspect of everyone's life is unacceptable

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse

Connect the dots

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.

It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.

Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.

175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

CNN: Why isn't the US Navy escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz?

SEN. RICK SCOTT: I can't tell you the answer to that, but I think right now it's still a dangerous situation. It's gonna take a while for us to get control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Sen. Rick Scott in 2022: “The buck stops with one person. Joe Biden made your gas prices go up. He did it. He actually did it.”
Scott today, 14 months after Trump took over: "Unfortunately, [gasoline] prices are gonna be up for a while."

We have, by far, the biggest, most expensive military in the world not to mention enough nukes to eradicate the entire world population dozens of times over, but we're supposed to believe we're also so feeble we were at risk of attack by a military a fraction of our size. Complete and utter bullshit

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

The US and Israel made a martyr out of an 86 year old man with prostate cancer on deaths door and destroyed the momentum of the opposition inside Iran, lost global standing, failed to protect its bases in the region, endangered all allies; in no way was this a victory.

America's fascist right has pulled a 180 and is selling the idea that expensive gasoline is a good thing. Americans have failed a lot of intelligence tests in the last decade. This is another one.

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

A four panel meme from The Avengers End Game where Gamora asks Thanos if he accomplished his goals and what it cost. He replies he did and it cost him everything I changed it so Gamora is asking if he got to pretend it was socially acceptable to call things “retarded” again, Thanos answers yes and it cost him everything. Literally. He says he’s eating dog food and asks a toddler Gamora if he can borrow $100

Literally said this to my coworker after the villa game lol.

President Pezeshkian's openness to de-escalation within our region-provided that our neighbors' airspace, territory, and waters are not used to attack the Iranian People-was almost immediately killed by President Trump's misinterpretation of our capabilities, determination and intent. If Mr. Trump seeks escalation, it is precisely what our Powerful Armed Forces have long been prepared for, and what he will get. Responsibility for any intensification of Iran's exercise of self-defense will lie squarely with the U.S. Administration. Mr. Trump's week-long misadventure has already cost the U.S. military $100 Billion, in addition to the lives of young soldiers. When markets reopen, that cost will balloon and directly be transferred to ordinary Americans at pumping stations. Mr. Trump's own National Intelligence Council, representing input from the 18 intelligence agencies of the U.S., determined that war on Iran is destined to fail. I also warned Mr. Trump's envoys that war will not improve their bargaining position. Were these warnings conveyed? The American People voted to end involvement in costly quagmires in the Middle East. Instead, they have ended up with an Administration that Netanyahu, after decades of failed attempts, finally managed to dupe into fighting Israel's wars. This is a war of choice pursued by a small cabal of Israel Firsters', and 'Israel First' always means 'America Last'.

Full statement:

CBP had a practice of agents walking in front of cars to create an excuse to shoot people they are trying to detain. This was supposedly ended but I think we can see it still occurs
