Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"if Trump was in office we would:"

  1. "Have not found out about them"
  2. "Have more concentration camps"
  3. "Punish the whistleblowers"
  4. "The concentration camps would be worse"

These are gonna be their arguments. It's always going to be hypothetically worse and there is no way to hold Biden accountable for the crimes he's just allowing/ actively aiding in. In fact, holding him accountable means you want fascism to win.

While simultaneously saying Biden can't control Israel. But somehow trump would? Can't wait til they repurpose their homophobic rhetoric re: trump and Putin to fit Bibi and trump. Even though they can't square the circle that they claim Putin had Hamas attack Israel, but Bibi loves trump...

Because Trump didn't do it.

Jill Stein -

Horror upon horror. Even as the Rafah gate is choked off by Israeli tanks and the noose is tightened around Gaza, a sickening new report from CNN came out today exposing a secret desert prison where Israeli Occupation Forces are torturing Palestinian detainees.

Here’s what we know: Three Israeli whistleblowers have come forward with details and photographic evidence of psychological and physical torture, including ritualistic humiliation and dehumanization, of Palestinian citizens unlawfully incarcerated in Israel’s Negev Desert.

Whistleblowers described prisoners’ limbs being amputated due to injuries caused by constant handcuffing, and medical procedures performed by underqualified medics – branding the prison with the nickname “a paradise for interns.”

The images shared by the whistleblowers are too disturbing to share here. It’s a shocking throwback to innocent Iraqis detained in Abu Ghraib prison and tortured at the hands of U.S. forces and contractors – torture that was exposed to the world exactly 20 years and 12 days ago.

We don’t know the total number of Palestinians who have been herded into detention camps like Sde Teiman. We do know the number is in the thousands – if not tens of thousands – and that they were taken from both Gaza and the West Bank.

We don’t know how many more of these secret prisons exist, and we can be certain we have not heard the worst of the abuses yet.

It bears repeating that Biden could end ALL of this right now with a single phone call. Instead, our government continues to funnel weapons and cash to Israel indiscriminately.

Our government’s continued, unconditional diplomatic cover for these horrors makes our country complicit in Israel’s war crimes.

Stop the weapons. Stop the aid. Embargo this monster. The world must act NOW.

In solidarity,

Jill
