This just in: Kuwait hosting U.S. bases has nothing to do with U.S. imperialism. There is no hegemony, the U.S. and Kuwait ATR sovereign states on equal footing. No coercion here. For that matter all oil states are democracies whose populations are happy with their governments. All’s harmonious.

The IRGC claims its strike on Jordan’s Al-Azraq airbase destroyed three U.S. F-35s and badly damaged three more. Iranian state media are reporting that as fact. The claim is, of course, denied by CENTCOM. #Iran en.irna.ir/news/8622377...

Shot in the dark but does anyone have consumer router recs for running openwrt? I have been using the same router for 10 years with ddwrt and now that I have gigabit internet I'm pretty sure there's no way to configure it to leverage anything above 500Mbps.

NEW: I wrote for MSNBC about how Madison Square Garden turning off their facial recognition cameras for Taylor Swift is a perfect encapsulation of our dystopian present: where the wealthy can use surveillance to consolidate power, and the rest of us live in a privately owned panopticon.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got to buy MSG's privacy. Her fans aren't so lucky.
Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.

ICE impersonators assaulted an individual in Oregon on Friday. It feels absurd that we have to pass laws that tell police to investigate when they see someone making an arrest who is not clearly a LEO. Is this not what they’re supposed to do already? And worse, the police push back against it.

🚨 43% of Gaza’s Kidney Failure Patients Have Died Since Israel’s War Began

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital spokesperson Khalil al-Daqran says 43% of kidney failure patients in Gaza have died since the war began, as Israel-imposed deliberate shortages of medicines and medical supplies cripple dialysis care.

Around half of the equipment needed to operate Gaza’s dialysis units is now out of service, further threatening patients who depend on regular treatment, al-Daqran said.

ICE killed a man without wearing body cameras all because someone in his van “resembled the target” though it wasn’t them.   Now we’ve learned that the agents lied about what happened, mocked the man they shot as he was dying, and stripped his ID from him when they brought him to the hospital.
