Cluely CEO Roy Lee admits to publicly lying about revenue numbers last year | TechCrunch The $7 million in annual recurring revenue that Cluely CEO Roy Lee shared last summer was a lie, its founder and CEO Roy Lee admitted on Thursday on X.

Who could possibly have predicted that a company whose slogan is "cheat on everything" would cheat?

"Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida
After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people."

"Slurs filled." "Devolved into." Even their coverage of blatant racism and antisemitism is done in the passive voice.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

Mr. President 
@realDonaldTrump
,

Your pressure regarding a pardon in the fake cases that were stitched up against Prime Minister Netanyahu is welcome. But it is important to understand who is blocking even a discussion of that request.

Israel’s Attorney General, Gali Baharav-Miara, is preventing any discussion of the pardon, while Supreme Court President Yitzhak Amit is backing her and preventing her dismissal, while also striking down laws passed by Israel’s elected legislature.

Since the United States stands for democracy in Israel, it is time to impose serious personal sanctions against both of them.

Thank you, Mr. President, for standing with the State of Israel and the free world.

Israeli minister and a Netanyahu bootlicker calls on Trump to impose personal sanctions agains Israeli's Attorney General and the chief justice of the Supreme court, as they are the stumbling blocks preventing the a pardon for Netanyahu in his corruption trial.

Polish doctors jailed for denying woman abortion | Euractiv Poland's centrist ruling coalition promised to reverse the most restrictive elements of Poland's abortion laws before their election in 2023

Good news, we guess. But the largest abortion provider in Poland is still Abortion Without Borders.
β€œIza was not the first or last woman in Poland to die for lack of a safe abortion. I hope there are no more,” Mara Clarke of @supportabort.bsky.social told AFP.

Inspectors General must be independent & nonpartisan. Reports say DOL IG Anthony D’Esposito plans to run for Congress. I asked if he’s running or doing campaign activity while serving as IG. He refused to answer. That is concerning given reports he put his mistress and fiancee’s daughter on payroll.

"Fanatics" is not a good enough explanation. The West Bank Pogroms, like all pogroms, are violence with the backing of the state, and it is violence not "to keep Palestinians in their place" but rather the opposite, to make them leave their place, to take over their land.

The reason the category of settler colonialism is so vital to the Palestine/Israel discussion is that you simply cannot understand contemporary Israeli policies without it, e.g. in West Bank. Otherwise people resort to talking about the problem as one of "fanatics" - and that's just unconvincing.
