Israel's Finance Minister, Bezalel #Smotrich, says allowing humanitarian aid into #Gaza goes against the goals of the Israeli war. "I spoke to Netanyahu in this regard and this is going to change soon."

Western leaders will be like, " it is not a #genocide ", " it is a special military operation against Hamas"and of course " Israel has the right to defend itself ".

It's just wonderful that the Israeli assault on Gaza uncovered the disgusting true face of western hypocrites to the general public.

E Jean's lawyers are simply awesome.

👀 Via Klasfeld:

News

#EJeanCarroll's lead attorney threatened SANCTIONS against Trump lawyer Alina #Habba over her "utterly baseless" claim that a federal judge had an undisclosed conflict of interest. #legal #Trump

Habba's conflict claim is based entirely on a single-anon source story in NY Post.

Carroll's lawyer ques how the tabloid came to publish it & if the supposed partner at Paul Weiss — the firm where she and the judge both worked— "even exists."

Tesla says it’s going to start building a new model in 2025, but that’s only to distract from how the next year or so looks dreadful for the company.

As it faces growing scandals and increased competition, it’s not clear Elon Musk can guide it through the challenging times ahead.

For Tesla to succeed it needs new owners who know about cars and maybe some technicians

You may disagree fervently with Pres. Biden's Israel policies, and that's fine. But if you come into my feed calling him "Genocide Joe" or any variation on that theme, you're blocked.

I've already had to block a few accounts for this.

Pres. Biden is not "for genocide." I will not argue with you on this topic, nor do I discuss the Israel/Hamas war here.

But I will not tolerate accusations of "genocide" by Pres. Biden. He's not "pro genocide."

If that's a prob, it's on you.

Flopsweat McBoneSpurs is threatening yet another woman who he feels threatened by. I can’t stand Haley, but holy crap, he’s such a misogynistic thug.

Did you know that some ants have a "basket" of hairs under their head used to move sandy soil more efficiently?

The hairs that make up this basket are called ammochaetae, and they are more robust than the sensitive setae that ants use to sense sound and air currents.

The basket of ammochaetae is known as a psammophore. Use it in a sentence today!

"I'm not making trips for all these groceries. I'll make my arms like a psammophore and tote them all at once!"

In separate legal rulings, Trump has been found to have committed rape, business fraud, and insurrection.

And yet he remains the Republican presidential front runner.

Don't ever tell me again that the GOP is the party of "family values" or "law and order."

"I keep asking myself this question: how does the western mind work? Rather than stop the atrocities in Gaza, they want to expand the war in the region by attacking the Houthis, which is not going to work, because it didn’t work before."
