"If there is to be any hope that the democracies, and especially what was once the greatest of them all, will retain or regain their moral compass, we must all keep shouting from the rooftops: “This is a lie!”; “That is a lie!”; “The leader of the United States is lying!”

Complicity in Slaughter: Outrage Explodes as Reports Link Musk and Trump to Ukraine Drone Shield Crippling
Demands are rapidly intensifying for Donald Trump and far-right disinformation propagandist Elon Musk to face international war crimes charges following a catastrophic disruption to Ukraine's frontline defenses.
A devastating exposé by The Telegraph, citing four anonymous sources, reveals a shocking level of complicity: it was Elon Musk who personally approached Donald Trump with the proposal to throttle Starshield — the military-grade version of his Starlink satellite network. Trump reportedly agreed to the scheme.
By deliberately crippling Ukraine's drone defense systems, this calculated move effectively disabled the country's shield against Russian aggression. The sabotage directly allowed Vladimir Putin's forces to rain lethal drone strikes down upon undefended cities, resulting in the brutal slaughter of innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children.
Critics and legal experts argue that by actively interfering with military infrastructure to benefit an invading, authoritarian Apparatchik force, both figures have crossed the line from political interference into direct complicity in war crimes.
ARREST THIS FRAUD OF AN OFFICER
In the United States, 47-year-old Cassandra Goldstein was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Police officer Michael Hart slammed her against a concrete bench.
The impact resulted in multiple facial fractures, the loss of several teeth, and permanent vision loss in one eye, requiring the implantation of a titanium plate.
Officer Hart, who had 19 years of service, was dismissed and sentenced to two years in prison.
Following legal proceedings against the police department, Cassandra was awarded $810,000 in compensation.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The victim's name is Cassandra Feuerstein. In 2013 in Skokie, IL, Officer Michael Hart pleaded guilty to official misconduct and was sentenced to two years probation (not prison), resigned, and lost his pension. She received a $875,000 settlement.

A gang of settler terrorists violently attacked "Washington Post" journalist Heidi Levine, 64, this morning, and also robbed her belongings. It is important to clarify right now: the problem is neither Israeli "hasbara" (public diplomacy) nor global antisemitism.

Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was hospitalized after settlers brutally beat and robbed her while she covered the West Bank olive harvest. The attack drew condemnation from the U.S. Embassy, press freedom groups and Israel's journalists' union. Levine described a growing climate of fear among Palestinian harvesters, while rights groups warned that repeated attacks on journalists continue amid a lack of accountability. | Liza Rozovsky, Matan Golan, and Etan Nechin

Texas man shoots Hispanic driver for Amazon—in her back as she walks away.
"He told me to speak English," she said.
"Then he started shooting—I was already in reverse."
She was shot twice—in lower back & top of head.
Husband was on video call crying:
"Drive away! Drive away!"
She drove on adrenaline making it to the next stoplight.
Before she could faint a man riding a motorcycle pulled up next to her and called 911.
Yirmar Martínez has been driving for Amazon Flex for the past 6 months without a problem.
She is a 23 year old mother with an ongoing asylum case pending in the courts.

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal.
The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.

The IDF is not allowing water in to Ras al-Ahmar for a month now. The area is the hottest in the entire West Bank, sitting in the Jordan Valley, with temperatures reaching 113 (45 Celsius) this time of year. They hope to see the residents either die of dehydration or leave. There are around 300 residents, including many children and babies.
pathological lying is at the core of maga brainwashing
Trump: "I made $72 billion on TikTok! You know who number one is on TikTok? Trump, I'm number one. Can you believe it? Taylor Swift is number 19. They just sent out the ratings."
He's not even in the top 100, and nobody makes billions on TikTok!
Trump's an insane liar. 🤥
corruption that will become more and more clear in history

As an American, I am having a visceral reaction to this. I feel so fucking small, so weak, so insignificant in the fight for freedom and justice for all around the world.
Trump has abandoned our Allies and relinquished the U.S.’s leadership status. We are another Trump casino.

The BMJ compiles still more data on the pattern of sexual assaults against Palestinian men and women by Israeli prison guards, settlers and soldiers. Sexual violence, whether against Israelis or Palestinians, is a way of breaking the spirit, and it flourishes in shame and silence. Good to see the taboo breaking.
Sexual violence against Palestinians has been documented for decades. This BMJ piece by @nevegordon, @maynard_nick, @RubinMinhas and colleagues compiles the evidence and shows why accountability cannot be optional. bmj.com/content/395/bmj-2026…

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.
