So Kushner and Trump are demanding that Hamas completely disarm. If not, they are going to help Israel exterminate them. But if Hamas disarms, Israel and the US will completely exterminate them. I'd rather go out fighting than being slaughtered like an animal.

I don't really care that El-Sayed won the Michigan Senatorial primary. I assume he'll sell out the working class. But THAT he won is a good indicator of the pain that the working class is experiencing. And that increases the odds of a revolution down the road. #Politics #ElSayed

Headline and text from article:
Abbott Appointed Comptroller Owns Epstein’s Ranch—Because F**k Them Kids
Meanwhile, unironically SCOTUS restricts app downloads for kids, claiming they care about kids.
Jul 06, 2026

Today the Supreme Court let Texas start enforcing SB 2420, the state’s App Store Accountability Act. Justice Samuel Alito, in a pair of one-sentence orders with no explanation and no dissents, denied the emergency applications filed by app-store industry groups. Texas can now require age verification and parental consent at the app store level for every mobile app download in the state.

“A minor child who downloads a software application from an app store agrees to contractual terms of service, including whether the child’s location will be tracked, whether the child’s privacy will be protected, whether information from the child’s phone can be sold by the developer, and whether the child waives the right to sue,” Texas told the Supreme Court in defense of the act.
