If you’ve noticed I rarely post personal stuff on this account, and mostly just retweet news, I’m doing this consciously. Instead of leaving this toxic platform run by one of the worst people out there, I’ve chosen to stay strictly to help stem the tide of toxic rhetoric 1/

Bolsonaro is rigging the election in Brazil. All right-wingers are exactly the same.
Multiple cities in Brazil including São Paulo and Salvador which both went for Lula in the first round are reporting having significant parts of their public transport system taken offline as part of vote suppression tactics by pro Bolsonaro politicians

So many conservative governments across Canada and people cannot understand why healthcare and education is fucked.
Ottawa needs to be careful, very careful.

Please understand that when schools push students and teachers to use AI, they are not just making everyone involved dumber, they are also doing this
Google did this to build a data center in Finland. It was illegal, but they did it anyway. Big Tech is out of control.

The genocidal apartheid state promises to commit more war crimes with U.S. weapons and tax dollars. This is the unbearable everyday reality for Palestinians, and it's only getting worse. Block the bombs. Dismantle apartheid. Free Palestine. xitter.cf/MiddleEastEye/status/2…

Just like the old East India Company, these robber baron companies, presided over as they are by unaccountable oligarchs, are more powerful than Sovereign states. They have contempt for us.
Google illegally cleared an estimated 250,000 trees across 330 hectares of forest in Muhos, northern Finland, to prepare for a new AI data center before completing mandatory environmental impact assessments And another 150,000 trees felled at Otanmäki theguardian.com/environment/…

Ethnic cleansing
Tonight in Hebron and throughout the West Bank, residents—including women and children—were evacuated from their homes. This is not what a war to eradicate terror looks like. This is what terror looks like.

1) Targeting occupation soldiers on occupied land is not terrorism by any definition 2) In response, Israel is destroying homes of completely unrelated people, a war crime according to international law
Terror => Homeless. Israel is finally charging a real price from the Palestinians. Following this morning’s attack, in which two soldiers were killed, Israel has begun demolishing illegal structures and will evacuate the entire Hebron neighborhood from which the terrorists came.

They'll say this shit right out in the open and then you'll STILL get called a crazy conspiracy theorist if you say the CIA is behind the next wave of anti-government unrest in Cuba.
To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time. The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA.

I love how “preemptive strike” just means “attacking completely out of the blue without any justification or provocation whatsoever” now.
NOW: Haaretz, citing White House sources, states that the United States is shifting in favor of a preemptive strike on Iran. The reason? Because Hegseth has new intelligence that was given to him by Bibi Netanyahu after his surprise visit to Israel. You’ve GOT to be kidding me…

it was another illegal west bank real estate fair. no one believes you anymore.
Earlier this month, Pal-Awda boasted about forcing a Jewish community event out of Queens. Now the group has set its sights on Riverdale, targeting Jewish families in our borough simply for gathering together. Riverdale is home to one of the most vibrant Jewish communities in New York, and its families deserve to come together without fear. Organizing a campaign to hunt down these gatherings and drive them out of our neighborhoods is an attack on Jewish New Yorkers. Pushing anyone out of public life in our city because of their faith is nothing to celebrate, and the Bronx will not tolerate it.

BREAKING: Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed that Kushner promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10 billion before ultimately placing at least $2 billion into accounts for him, according to a Vanity Fair excerpt from Princes and Thieves. The revelation lands as Kushner remains deeply involved in Iran war diplomacy, while Tehran has separately accused him and Steve Witkoff of pocketing $9 billion through market manipulation.

מקורות בבית הלבן: בשעות האחרונות חל שינוי לכאורה בעמדה האמריקאית לטובת מתקפת מנע על איראן. מקורות בבית הלבן מסבירים את השינוי בעיקר מהמשקל הרב שנתן הנשיא טראמפ להערכות ולמודיעין שהביא בפניו שר ההגנה פיט הגסת׳ עם שובו מהפגישה עם ראש הממשלה נתניהו.
