I see you sharing half-baked commentary from R*ania Kh*lek. I see you posting random info from that rapper, L*wk*y, and that anon with the animated squirrel from Sword in the Stone as its profile pic.

I know you’re well-intentioned, but please: get your information elsewhere.
If it’s true, you can definitely find it somewhere else. But all of these people have spread ghastly wrong information since before this war began. (Look at their track record on Syria, say.)

You don’t need them. The Left doesn’t need them. They aren’t even on the ground here.
How about some recent examples, yeah?

This is an idiotic thing to say. Did the PMF fight ISIS? Yes. Did they also forcibly disappear 1000s of Iraqis in the name of their nationalist vision of “liberation”? Yes.

Also, uh, the US-coalition played a big role in defeating ISIS too. Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek, commenting on the assassination of Abu Taqwa: “The US-Israel axis continues targeting the people who fought ISIS.”
Here is @zei_squirrel suggesting that Israel was behind the Kerman attack.

They definitively were not. ISIS claimed responsibility. So what does Ms. Squirrel do? Obfuscate by talking about the MEK. ISIS has nothing to do with the MEK. Image

Why do people like @zei_squirrel feel the need to invent things when an active genocide is going on? Why can’t they just focus on reality instead of inventing new frontiers of stupid anger?

Well, I mean, just look at the engagement numbers and you may have an answer.
@zei_squirrel Here’s that Lowekey fellow posting the same nonsense. Most of his stuff is just…sensationalizing stuff other people have reported more thoroughly or taking screenshots from videos to make viral allegations. Share the sources, please, to avoid sharing garbage like this. Lowkey @Lowkey0nline: “Over 200 people killed in the horrific bombing on the cemetary [sic] in Kerman. Last time I heard of a force willing to bomb [a] cemetary [sic] it was Israel in Gaza. Depraved.”
Khalek has been praising Nasrallah repeatedly in the past day.

Hezbollah is no friend of the Left, obviously. You don’t have to pump up Hezbollah propaganda to…own Israel. Israel is bad enough, you don’t have to become a partisan of a religious nationalist organization. Image
Image
Then there’s unhinged stuff like this that just makes…no sense. @zei_squirrel: “Zionists all read Bari Weiss. She is their media God. They all hang on her lips, which should tell you a lot about how fucking deranged these genocidal scumbags are. They actually live in world wherein Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank love Israelis, and hate the resistance”
Please just stop sharing these people. You can get the same information elsewhere, if it’s true.

If you can’t find it, you might just save yourself the embarrassment of looking like an idiot.

Just want to point out in the midst of all this horrible reporting on KH that I spent two years documenting thousands of disappearances carried out by the group—to which they admitted to me on the record—but not one editor gave a fuck enough to publish the work.
One editor, if I recall, said they didn’t find it that interesting because “we know militias kill Iraqis.”

Every editor asked how I could make the story more relevant to US and British readers.
My experience trying to get editors to care about Kataib Hezbollah’s war crimes taught me how myopic most media folks’ perspectives are.

Journalism should attempt to be victim-facing. It should do the most good for those most-effected—not some gyy in rural England or Ohio.

This is incorrect.

The new wall is not on the border, but several dozen feet inland. Under the Roosevelt Easement it is illegal to build within 60 ft of the border. From the aerial footage We Build the Wall published this morning, it's clear they know this, but continue to lie.
Here's a clear photo of the new wall @WeBuildTheWall published in its video this morning. All the areas in red that I've circled are on the American side of the border. You can clearly see how far inland this wall is (and how there's a massive open gap left they couldn't build.)
The right-most circle in the photo is Monument 1. It is the official boundary marker there in Sunland Park, New Mexico, that delineates the border line. At the top is the Rio Grande. Those are borders. The wall is not on the border.
