Biden was asked today about the Gaza Health Ministry's latest fatality count. He replied: "I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using.". He's right. The carnage in Gaza is terrible, but the ministry and its data can't be trusted.

Stavros Halkias knows that Larry Hogan is currently the Governor of Maryland and Thomas Friedman doesn't. Clearly this proves that @stavvybaby deserves a column in @nytopinion.

This is a weird form of American exceptionalism where people believe Biden has the power to somehow âsimply stopâ the atrocities in Gaza. Even with an arms embargo and cutting diplomatic relations (both of which will never happen), Netanyahu would still go on killing.

This isn't even 'manufacturing consent' at this point; it's straight-up lying, and then doubling down, and then tripling down, just force-feeding this total bullshit until we get tired of resisting this narrative.

I donât care about Musk buying this shitty network. But both the reaction and counter-reaction are so far up their own asses about this to realize that Twitter is just being passed from a pack of corporate lackeys to one corporate hog. There is nothing to fear or celebrate.
How will we survive and function if social media is controlled by someone who won't submit to our demands and pressure to censor the views and people we dislike, especially those who are stealing our audience???đ±đ±. - Every neurotic corporate newsroom reacting to today's news.

This made my blood boil. Every new revelation is an outrage and confirming what many suspected of Jose Andres.
For months World Central Kitchen leadership censored material coming out of its Gaza operation and refused to honor staff concerns about our work there. They are finally taking a stand after personnel were killed but it is much too late.

This might be an unpopular take, but. I'm kind of tired of animated films exploring Generational Trauma when the only ending that they're willing to have is "The trauma was resolved because it's the end of the movie now and that's when things are resolved :)" [1/8]

This simple fact still infuriates me: we have it all on tape. They all promised it in the campaign, and then deliberately chose to put it on the back burner every time.
Obama campaigned on codifying Roe and then took office and said it wasn't a priority. They think we all have amnesia.

I watched you get booed off stage in 2005. We didnât boo hard enough it seems.
As I searched my feed& the news, I was not surprised that Israel defending itself from militant jihadists somehow got lost in the shuffle. I was saddened. Quiet is my feed about these attacks, cause Israel doesnât seem to be on the list of places that get support when attacked.

Looking forward if anyone - anybody - is writing a full investigative account of this administration staffed to the brim with dead-eyed psychopaths like this.
Reporter: "Did the U.S. find any of Netanyahu's remarks yesterday to be false or misleading?". John Kirby: "I'm not going to parse everything he said or, you know, do a fact check here from this podium.". "He should speak for himself about what his views are. You should, but he

An insult to those who died in Babyn Yar and those who continue to die in your reckless conquests throughout the region. Fuck you and fuck your bullshit Muddy Waters cover band you animal.
Eighty-two years ago, Nazis murdered 34,000 Jews at Babyn Yar. Soviets buried this history, which today Putin's government manipulates to provide cover for Russia's abuses in Ukraine. The U.S. is committed to justice for Holocaust survivors and accountability for atrocities.

It's not a "dumb tweet", it's not "fun", it's an unanswered question: why is your boss endorsing, campaigning for, and ceaselessly defending an administration that has led to this much death and destruction. What good are these "achievements" when they are ignored by the party?.
i know dumb tweets are fun, but there are few members of congress who have done more to end this war than @AOC. an original sponsor of the ceasefire resolution. called for conditioning aid in the fall. whipped the most votes in recent history against offensive aid for israel.

Iâm fascinated by this cretin and his love of âpragmatismâ being able to âaffect tangible changeâ, as if thatâs something that has happened remotely in the last 20 years for the better. You have not âgrown powerâ, you have shifted further and further to the center with no payoff.
Watching AOCâs (very public) evolution on aspects of idealism vs. pragmatism in real time over the past six years has been so relatable and refreshing. Her values havenât changed whatsoever but she actually wants to effect tangible change rather than just yell from the sidelines.

Every single day there is raw footage of Palestinians killed, wounded, tortured, abused - and here in America, we are subjected to monologues from bespoke suits in the media class about "heavy" private footage in what can only be seen as justifying the brutalization of Palestine.
Today I was among the journalists who have attended a private screening of the raw footage of October 7th and I want to express to you what I saw since itâs not been made public. Itâs been a very heavy day. A decision was made that Jews are less than human, and treated that way

Nothingâs improved for most people. Now, for people like you - a âdata-drivenâ Stanford alum who hopped on the commercialized activist bandwagon sprouted from Ferguson - who have been able to translate this into podcasts and media deals, yeah, things are sure looking up.
I havenât seen the Green Party improve a single thing in America for my entire life. If they never existed, at least two national elections couldâve gone another way. No George W. No Trump. That alone wouldâve saved more than a million lives globally. As such, I hope that party.
