“Google and Amazon submitted to highly unorthodox ‘controls’ that Israel inserted into the deal, in anticipation of legal challenges over its use of the technology in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.”
INVESTIGATION: Inside Project Nimbus To secure the lucrative contract, Google & Amazon agreed to secretly notify Israel if a foreign court demands its data, and disregard their own terms of service. By @yuval_abraham for @972mag @mekomit @guardian

Some insisted there had to be more to this story. He couldn't have been arrested just for posting a political meme. But he was. And now the sheriff admits to illegally withholding public records about the case.
This man remains in custody on a $2,000,000 bond for posting a political meme in a discussion about a Charlie Kirk vigil. However much offense it caused, there's no serious argument it was a threat. It's hard to see the arrest and charges as anything but politically motivated.

New: The CIA is considering dissolving its China center as the US quietly backs away from confrontation (for now) - realizing it has little leverage against China. Trump is shifting focus to regime change in Venezuela.

The U.S. is temporarily stepping back from its Cold War with China and channeling its aggression toward Venezuela, reflecting the limits of American power.

The BBC found evidence?? Palestinian doctors have been telling us for two years.
The BBC found evidence that Israeli forces are deliberately sniping Palestinian children — aiming for the head and chest. Over 60% of the murdered kids were shot with precision.

People are using GoFundMe for groceries. GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition. Americans are fundraising for basic necessities, while the top 1% increased their wealth to $52 trillion. This is what a rigged system designed by the wealthy looks like.
GoFundMe CEO says the economy is so bad that more of his customers are crowdfunding just to pay for their groceries, per FORTUNE

Can’t pay federal workers. Can’t reopen the government. But sure, let’s buy Kristi Noem TWO private jets. Republicans have lost absolutely all touch with reality.
The Trump administration just ordered two Gulfstream luxury private jets for Kristi Noem at a cost of over $172 million. This comes as Americans can barely afford groceries.

Kirby was the face of the Biden administration’s Gaza disinformation campaign. For that, he’s rewarded with a sweet gig. Because elite impunity is our political class’s only truly bipartisan value. The next Democratic administration needs to hold these people accountable.
🗳️NEW in @axios AM: John Kirby — a podium regular as national security spokesman under @JoeBiden — will move to Chicago to become director of @UChicago's Institute of Politics, founded by @davidaxelrod, on Nov. 15 ⬇️ Get your very own Axios AM ... part of a good breakfast!

As with Generative AI, there are legit concerns that the defense tech market has reached bubble territory with enormous VC investment and lower returns. That's why Congress is bailing out the industry with billions in new Pentagon contracts in the NDAA..

A general strike stopped the fascist coup in S. Korea. A general strike is how the Italian people forced their rightwing PM to send a Navy ship protect the flotilla. It's the only thing that'll be effective v Trump.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson calls for a general strike against the “tyranny” of Trump and the greed of the ultra-rich. An estimated 300,000 filled the streets for the “No Kings” march, powerfully rejecting the federal government’s “Operation Midway Blitz” against the city.

"an agreement that was proposed multiple times by Pakistan itself" Really cool consequence of the Zionist destruction of diplomacy. Every US stooge realized they can turn ceasefire talks into a tactic of warfare. This is the world Biden, Blinken, and Sullivan have gifted you.

The world would become a safer place, and the prospect of genocide in Gaza would be diminished, if Western armaments suppliers were restricted from accessing the rare earths essential to their weapons. This is a moral imperative that every decent person should insist upon from
China took export controls on rare earths and related items in accordance with the law to better safeguard world peace and regional stability, and fulfill non-proliferation and other international obligations. The measures are consistent with international practice. China’s
