"Every single patient I see is in a state of starvation," said a doctor on today's Democracy Now, on #Gaza.
Anyone who works for the #NewYorkTimes should have a deep & indelible sense of shame for working for a publication that enables genocide and completely fails to speak truth to power.
It is fully possible to interview people in Gaza and interrogate Israeli lies, but #NYT intentionally does not.
Fuck the New York Times.
Remember that #NYT ran "Screams Without Words" fabricating a narrative that the Oct 7 Hamas attack included systematic sexual assaults, even though the journalist struggled to find a *second* source on the claim.
theintercept.com/2024/02/28/ne…
But when it comes to mass starvation, assassinations of medical staff, journalists, children, NTY is silent.
If on 1+ issue, it acts as a propaganda arm for US & Israeli governments, it can't be trusted as a publication on any issue.

THE PRIVATE PRISON INDUSTRY LOOKS FORWARD TO SOARING PROFITS THANKS TO TRUMP’S BUDGET
The $45 billion for immigration detention in the "Big, Beautiful Bill" represented a long-sought win for private prisons.
theintercept.com/2025/07/10/co…
The victory was in the works for years. A private prison company handed consulting and lobbying gigs to Trump’s allies, its political action committee was the first to max out its donation to Trump, and industry executives had already made plans to reopen shuttered prisons — laying the groundwork for what they promised investors would be an incarceration bonanza.
The collapse of the #German economy.
Imagine what would happen if you had a gas station right next door, but you had to drive hundreds Km to fill up with gas at double the price because your puppetmaster sabotaged the pumps near you.
But, nevertheless, you knelt down and said "thank you".
After all, you vote for your "Masters Voice" every time.
Well... since this is happening to the #EU "locomotive" imagine what will happen in the immediate future to the rest of EU economies
