"Israel killed more than 200 Palestinians in Gaza on Saturday, including 40 members of a single family. The official death toll in Gaza is now over 44,000, although experts believe that is a vast undercount of the true figure. Israel’s onslaught has continued to kill medical and aid workers in recent days, including three people with World Central Kitchen, the head of the intensive care unit at Kamal Adwan Hospital, a staff member with Save the Children, as well as Mahmoud Almadhoun, who co-founded the Gaza Soup Kitchen that has fed Palestinians suffering hunger due to Israel’s blockade of vital food aid. Almadhoun was killed in an Israeli drone strike and is survived by seven children, including a newborn baby. His brother Hani Almadhoun joins Democracy Now! to discuss what he calls a targeted assassination. 'My brother slowed down the ethnic cleansing of north Gaza, and that’s why he was taken out,' says Almadhoun. 'This is a war against the civilians in Palestine.'"
Burger King is absolute trash in Charleston SC. Nothing but the most vile nig-nogs work there. They ended up closing all but a couple of locations because of that. The few left have the same problem and are dirty and nasty.
We dont have an In N Out Burger or a Whataburger.
Culvers (new to area with White Staff) and 5 Guys (also White Staff) are overrated...but at least it's White people.
I usally go for a Cookout Burger. The burger is decent, the fixings are fresh and they are staffed by White people as well.
We can not continue to fight over money and silly tokens.
We need to ditch billions of #bullshitjobs and datacenters full of financial nonsense and to distribute money. Backed by all the wealth no longer wasted by financial warfare.
David Barton isn’t just a primary pitchman for the Ten Commandments law in Texas
His fingerprints appear on 28 bills that have cropped up before the legislatures in 18 states this year.
A data analysis of the bills exposes how their language, structure and requirements are inherently identical.
In dozens of instances, they match model legislation pitched by Barton verbatim.
At the Texas hearing, Barton’s eyes fixated on the cover of the rare 1782 Aitken Bible. “It also says it’s ‘a neat Edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use of schools,’” he continued. “It has the Ten Commandments.”
In actuality, Barton lifted language from Philadelphia printer Robert Aitken calling on Congress to sanction a Bible that could also be for “the use of schools.”
Christian nationalists have for years falsely claimed the Revolutionary-era printing includes a government promotion of Christianity.
Barton has long been accused of taking historical quotes out of context, and in 2012, the Christian publisher of his bestselling book on Thomas Jefferson ceased its production because “basic truths just were not there.”
Texas is one of three states in the last two years to pass a law requiring that the Ten Commandments be posted in public schools.
The mandates are part of a coordinated nationwide effort to overturn a 1980 Supreme Court ruling forbidding Kentucky from requiring Ten Commandments displays in classrooms.

First he snorted in irritation. His fur bristled like a surly and rebellious cat, disdainful of boxes and pyramids. Just like that, without even warning.
Then, for those who do not know, a kind of tender caress. Then the clawing, increasing in quantity and strength. And then, a whirlwhind of discontent. Before long, it was a runner. The fury of the wind was joined by a rain as if to tell the windstorm that it shared its rage. It threw men and leaves against the walls of the champas and, I swear, the foundations of the concrete pavilion creaked.
Wind and rain. Nowhere to turn. Better to be left in the middle of the fury than to risk the guillotine flight of the torn sheet metal as if defying the modest modesty of the galleries already cleaned, with paint and walls renovated.
But, strangely enough, the storm respected the periphery and concentrated in the center. There, where the skeleton of a pyramid rose not a few meters from the gravel.
As if to say: “No pyramids here”.
And the blankets that simulated the walls of the pyramid, swelled with that mixture of wings and sails that at times resembled a wandering ship and at times a lost aircraft, with no land in sight, only with the certainty that below was the ground waiting without haste, as if saying “just right here”.
We tried to talk to it, but, between the rain and the gale force winds, we barely managed to get it to let up long enough for the fellows who had climbed to the top to place the money sign to come down. Immediately, a strong, concentrated blowing blew the sails off and the blanket flew up the mountain.
“That’s how ghosts are born,” I thought.
We began to explain in a rushed manner that it was not to be left per se, but rather as an explanation of the policy. To reveal, that is. That there were no true or false gods. That, of itself, is going to be destroyed. Not only that one, but all the pyramids. Yes, in the whole and in the parts. Yes, in all the corners of the planet.
He slowly faded away, as if doubting our commitment.
He left later but not quickly, as if to say “if the human being does not comply, we, the parts of the first mother, will comply”.

SubMoy checked the construction and said: “It’s not going to fall easy”.
A compa, as it were, made a nick in one of the crossbeams with his machete. He only muttered: “It’s going to fall, it’s going to fall. It might delay, but it falls because it falls”.
“The most difficult thing will be the central column, it is very solid,” he added, “we will have to put a lot of strength, a lot of desire and not just a few of us, but many”.
“That is: in common and organized,” said a young painter. We all laughed, although we were still frightened by that irritated wind, who knows where it came from.
“That post is well rooted. Even if they knock it down, it will resprout. You have to pull it up to the roots,” said an elderly woman, planted in jars in front of the wooden construction, as if defying it.
“It is the soul of the system,” responded a companion to a girl’s question about the central mast, “the private property of the land, of the machines, of the houses, of the people, of nature, of dreams and nightmares, of the skies and the seas, of what is seen and what is not seen, of the world, therefore. It is not only at the foundation of the system. It is also in our head, in our heart and in our history.”
“But how many are coming?” they asked me.
“A good many,” I replied.
“But do they bring their will to fight?” they insisted.
“Saber,” I said to myself, “as SubMoy says: it remains to be seen.”
“Hey captain, is that thing going to be there all my life,” a militia woman asked me.
“No, how do you think, it’s for the Zapatista talk, why do you ask?”
“Because I think a soccer team is coming and that thing is in front of one of the goals, where our dining room is. So there will be neither game or food. The soccer game, whatever, but the food, well…”
The afternoon began to sprout from the trees. For an instant, the moon, the sun, the rain and the wind coincided, appearing before the mountain.
-*-
Is that going to be there forever?
Well, no, that’s why we are fighting. It might linger, but there are going to be more of us.
And in the wind followed the warning that the rain engraved on the earth:
“If the human being does not comply, we will comply, the parts of the first mother. The pyramid will fall.

“This is an extremely serious charge against a #journalist. If he did not a participant in these events, this could be a brazen violation of the right of the press to gather news.” -- attorney Robert Balin
By JAKE OFFENHARTZ Updated 3:46 PM EDT, August 6, 2024
NEW YORK (AP) — "A New York City journalist was arrested on felony hate crime charges Tuesday after filming a pro-#Palestinian protest earlier this summer in which activists hurled red paint at the homes of top leaders at the #BrooklynMuseum.
"#SamuelSeligson, an independent videographer, was not involved in the #vandalism, but is accused of traveling in a car with the #activists and entering private property with them, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the case.
"The official spoke with The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.
"Leena Widdi, an attorney for Seligson, said New York Police Department officers twice raided Seligson’s Brooklyn apartment in the past week before he turned himself in early Tuesday.
"She described the arrest and use of a hate crime statute as an 'appalling' overreach by police against a journalist with a city-issued press credential. Seligson, who is Jewish, is a fixture at New York City protests who has licensed and sold footage to mainstream outlets, including Reuters and ABC News.
"'Samuel is being charged for alleged behavior that is protected by the First amendment and consistent with his job as a credentialed member of the press,' Widdi said in an email. 'What is even more concerning, however, is that this member of the press is being charged with a hate crime.'"
The original McDonald's burger contained about 1/4 lb of 80-20 Ground Beef, before it was cooked. About 3oz after cooking.
Modern McDonald's makes 10 patties out of 1 lb of 75-25 beef, and puts one on each burger. Pre-cooked weight is about 1.6oz and post cooked weight is about 1.1 oz.
"In the swirl of money and sun-tanned women that was their Palm Beach-and-Manhattan set, Trump and Epstein spent nearly 15 years mingling side-by-side as public friends.
There were lavish dinners at Epstein’s mansion on the Upper East Side and raucous parties with cheerleaders and models at Trump’s private club at Mar-a-Lago. In between, there were trips back and forth from FL to NY on one of Epstein’s private jets." 😲 Lot more at nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/poli… #Politics

Important Update!! Tonight's #TheFediFiles with @vriska is going to be cancelled due to Vriska unfortunately running a rather high fever. While TFF is great, taking care of yourself is much more important.
Stay tuned to this account as we may have a special surprise makeup stream tomorrow (no promises just yet). Might be a little different than normal, but we'll see what ol' Wiz can cook up.
@HiroProtagonist This will be a huge problem for many Eurotrash Countries and the Uk who have gone into massive debt supporting this failed effort in Ukraine. Thinking they would get a huge payoff.

Repost from Hani Almadhoun, Senior Director of Philanthropy at UNRWA, on LinkedIn:
My dad shared this story with me today, and I haven’t been able to shake it.
A woman in one of the makeshift camps was seen running from tent to tent, frantic and out of breath. Her husband had slipped into a diabetic coma. She knew what he needed — just something sweet — a spoonful of sugar, a bite of halva, anything. But the war has emptied even the smallest comforts from Gaza’s cupboards.
No one had sugar. No halva. No dates. Nothing.
Even if someone did have sugar, it now costs nearly five dollars a spoonful — a price no one in that camp could afford. Not for a dying man. Not even for a child.
She returned to her tent empty-handed.
Her husband — a man in his late fifties — was gone.
Just like that.
Not from a missile or a bullet. But from something entirely treatable — if only they hadn’t starved Gaza of everything.
Who is responsible for this death?
Israel is.
And here's the grim reality behind the slushies we handed out to children three days ago: they were sweetened with cough syrup. Because that’s the only sugar we could find. A kilo of sugar now costs $100. People are draining the syrup from canned pineapples just to sweeten their tea.
This is what it means to be under blockade and siege — where even sugar is out of reach, and dying from a diabetic coma becomes part of daily life.

It’s becoming clear that Zionism is finally being undone, primarily by Gaza and the sumud of the Palestinians, but also by international solidarity, a large part of which has always been, and now increasingly is, expressed by anti-Zionist Jews.

“The researchers found some traces of plastic in samples from the middle of Antarctica. The only way it can get there is in the wind system,” he added. “Is it snowing plastic in Antarctica?”
“Initial measurements suggest some presence of microplastics and a stronger signal in black carbon, which results from fuel combustion,” Raymo said.

Slovakia has changed its fundamental position on anti-Russian sanctions. It has decided not to block the 18th sanctions package of the European Union. This was announced to the citizens of the country by the Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Great long-form conversation, not only about Israel but also how narratives work (and collapse or flip), staying grounded when making political content, and art as a participatory process.
