When it comes to Israel, international law suddenly becomes optional. Any other country operating this way would face sanctions within days. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

Crazy how in a single clip LeBron James can step directly into a firestorm by aligning himself with Israel and ruin his entire legacy in less than 60 seconds. One minute is really all it takes to expose themselves. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

I joined Session Two at the Al Jazeera Forum to pull back the curtains of the systematic reenginerring of our digital infastructure to shape what millions of people see every day.

For months, Israeli officials have accused Hamas of using human shields to justify bombing dense civilian areas in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, documented reports have shown Israeli forces themselves using human shields to navigate civilian infastructure. The phrase “human shields” has become less a legal claim and more a rhetorical weapon. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have. Pl...

The United States Department of Defense has clashed with Anthropic over built-in safeguards that limit how its models can be used for surveillance and domestic intelligence. This is the next phase of the surveillance state. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

Lebron James has openly signaled support for Israel while Gaza remains under siege. 90% of the time cultural icons become soft-power assets, whether they admit it or not.

The co-director of the No Other Land documentary Hamdan Ballal was attacked in the West Bank, targeted in the same environment of impunity that defines daily life under occupation. When cameras expose reality, the people behind them become threats. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

Before the election, I laid out exactly what a second Donald Trump administration would greenlight: Israel escalating toward a total endgame in Gaza, Congress moving forward with sweeping “antisemitism” legislation designed to chill dissent, literal concentration camps for immigrants, as well as billions of dollars in cash to his donors and foreign allies. None of this came out of nowhere. It’s ba...

What’s unfolding in Gaza is the endgame of a project built on containment, collective punishment, and impunity, all underwritten by U.S. weapons and diplomatic cover. Everyone involved knows exactly what this looks like, and history will record who kept it going. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

Reports from May indicated Israel plans to establish biometric registration systems inside controlled zones in the Gaza Strip, requiring Palestinians to submit personal data to access aid or move through designated areas. When basic survival is tied to biometric enrollment, surveillance stops being abstract and becomes compulsory. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have. Please subscribe...

A debate hosted by Jubilee featured self-identified liberals openly entertaining the idea of deporting American citizens. This is what happens when empire logic eats liberalism from the inside. Rights turn into privileges, and enforcement becomes a virtue as long as it’s framed as responsible governance. This country is cooked. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

In May, Israel passed a resolution in the Knesset claiming to ease the siege on the Gaza Strip, while still tightly controlling and limiting the amount of aid allowed in. The blockade remains intact in all the ways that matter. Starvation gets rebranded as humanitarian management, and Western governments eagerly play along. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have. Please subscribe for fre...

Upscrolled is gaining traction, and for the first time it’s a platform where pro-Palestine voices can go without getting filtered like they do on traditional legacy platforms. This alone is enough to trigger absolutely outrage from entrenched Zionist networks used to shaping the narrative. When centralized control weakens, even slightly, panic follows. The reaction says way more than the platform...

Last night, on February 13, YouTube terminated my entire channel and immediately denied my appeal under its “violent criminal organizations” policy. After taking to X, within hours, the backlash from multiple independent journalists, creators, and activists began to share my story. The pressure worked. Less than 24 hours after telling me I would remain banned, YouTube reinstated my channel and mon...

Why stop at ICE when you can turn the entire immigration system into a surveillance wing of the state? The Trump regime is quietly transforming USCIS, the agency for legal immigration, into an intelligence operation, complete with military contracts, blacklists, and predictive algorithms.

In May, after pressing Torres over his alignment with AIPAC money, the response wasn’t an argument or denial… Capitol Police were called. That escalation tells you exactly where the real power sits. When elected officials are backed by wealthy lobby-linked donors, accountability gets reframed as a security threat. Foreign policy consensus is guarded not just with talking points, but with force whe...

In March 2025, a short video circulated showing an Israeli hostage kissing a member of Hamas. One unscripted moment did what endless press briefings couldn’t: It broke the frame. A huge blow to the narrative management department. As always, you guys are the only sponsors I have.

This was recorded before the election. Kamala Harris didn’t break from the war policy she inherited. She continued to manage it while vowing to always support Israel’s “right to defend itself”. Then she lost. History doesn’t grade on symbolism or firsts. It grades on body counts and decisions made with full awareness. Empire keeps betting that time and novelty will wash the blood off policy. It ne...

A new “local feed” feature is quietly encouraging users to share real-time location data that can be accessed by ICE. Make sure you turn this setting off unless you want to hand your information over to law enforcement. When empire is asking for your location, it’s rarely for your benefit.

The United Kingdom and Canada moved to condition recognition of Palestinian rights on political concessions, effectively treating basic human rights as leverage rather than obligations. When rights are framed as rewards for good behavior under occupation, they stop being rights and become tools of control, managed by the same Western states that enabled the violence in the first place. As always,...

You know a regime’s defenders have nothing left when they start laughing at starving children. Families are literally drinking sewage water and the response is a smirk with a punchline. This is ideological sadism. The point isn’t to debate, it’s to humiliate. To strip the humanity from Palestinians so thoroughly that even their starvation becomes a joke. The ones who laugh now will be remembered l...

Itamar Ben-Gvir was rejected from mandatory service in the Israeli military for being too extreme. That should have been the warning, but now he’s literally in charge of national security. A man once dismissed as a fringe racist, a disciple of Meir Kahane, arrested dozens of times for incitement, is now directing policy in a settler-colonial state armed to the teeth. Ben-Gvir isn’t an outlier here...
