Ben Ehrenreich

A lot of the same motherfuckers now mourning the international rules-based order etc etc are the very ones who helped murder it in Gaza.

Past administrations did, to be fair, lie to us about their war crimes far more respectfully, and that’s what made all the difference.

Also very cool that the world economy is riding on the possibility of making most of us dead or unemployed.

I know it has its enthusiasts but so far the most consequential impact of AI has been to allow certain humans to kill other humans with far greater speed and efficiency. Well done, nerds.

This is the death toll in Iran that some are calling "low." It's only been 3 days & over 700 ppl at least have been killed. Nearly 700 more deaths are being reviewed. That's 1400 deaths in 3 days. Israeli carnage in Palestine has fully shifted the Overton window for folks x.com/AdHaque110/s...

The stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, and fundamental unseriousness of American elites is never on such garish and carefree display as it is when they go to war.

Hard to imagine a better argument for developing a nuclear program.

Anyone who has been alive on this earth for more than 20 minutes has no excuse for not knowing that this is nothing but mass murder built on lies and is criminally arrogant, stupid, and cruel and will end badly for many, many thousands of people.

If Gaza didn’t convince you of the stinking moral rot at the core of virtually every elite institution in the West, Jeffrey Epstein was kind enough to confirm.

He’s going to start a war with Iran before the weekend is out.

White man executed in the street for carrying a permitted handgun: the right is meticulously bringing all of its own most paranoid fantasies to life and still somehow blaming brown people.

If you’ve read my reporting from Palestine you’ve almost certainly read about the people of Umm al Khair. Last week the Israeli military issued demolition orders that would erase the entire village.

Italian dock workers have done more to stop the genocide that almost ANY GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD.

This is a brilliant (and very funny) piece of satire from @benehrenreich.bsky.social in the must-read @flaminghydra.com:

I’m here to help!

The United Nations employee who sabotaged the escalator and made our President pant and groan up the stairs like a dying badger should be severely chided!

My pleasure!

My pleasure!

Transcript of Official Testimony Before the House Anti-Anti-Fascist Committee Yes, Mr. Congressman, I do recall the first time I met Mr. Soros. It was some years ago, on the first of May. I had reached out to a colleague whom I knew to be a high-ranking officer in the Antifa or...

For now it counts as satire… My latest in @flaminghydra.com: “Transcript of Official Testimony Before the House Anti-Anti-Fascist Committee”

Can’t help but remember interviews with many ICE detainees who told me that Tylenol was the only medicine prisoners were ever given, no matter the illness, no matter if they were dying.

TODAY: @benehrenreich.bsky.social has the transcripts of a future Congressional hearing. “ That’s right, Mr. Congressman. It was a Cracker Barrel. Wherever you find Cracker Barrel you will find Antifa personnel. It’s because of the Country Boy Breakfast.” flaminghydra.com/anti-anti-fa...

Why are so many people proud to be rats?
