Ah, sniper drones. Like the ones Israel has been using to shoot children in the head.
Tried and tested on Palestinian children, now ready for the open market.

Charlie Kirk alleged killer had already been in custody two hours before Discord ‘confession’
I'm disappointed to see this compared to the Kennedy assassination.
Kirk was just some fascist jerk. He wasn't important, except for his assassination.
Kennedy was actually important outside of his assassination.

‘The Government Hopes To Set a Precedent’: An Interview With the Man Charged for Allegedly Wiping His GrapheneOS Phone
I mean I think privacy advocates are looking to set a precedent. This case is perfect for us.
The officer was the one that wiped the data, so hopefully he'll loose his job. And they should be sued to pay compensation to the victim for the damages caused by lost data

Senate votes down measure aiming to limit Trump’s war powers by 53-47 vote
This is dumb. There is no reason to vote on something that is already law. You're just letting them drag everything to the right.
He broke the law. If the law isn't being enforced, then we should begin actions stronger than legislation.
We need to make good trouble

Israelis are finally revolting against Netanyahu — for agreeing to the U.S. ceasefire with Iran
The entire Israeli political spectrum is united in blasting Netanyahu for not continuing to attack Iran, and Israeli society agrees. The reason, to put it simply, is that Israelis are war junkies.
Misinformation. There's literally Israeli Kinesset members that oppose the genocide in Gaza and the war with Iran. They are the minority, but they do exist.
Not to mention the Israeli citizens refusing to enlist in the military, who are sent to prison.
