When federal agents seized my phones at Dulles Airport, they flagrantly violated several 4th circuit rulings which explicitly forbid advanced forensic searches of devices without a warrant or individualized suspicion. Was the order to seize my devices delivered under pressure from unregistered Israel and Ukraine lobbyist Laura Loomer, who boasted about calling Trump cabinet officials to demand I be jailed for my reporting from Iran, and effectively took credit for the confiscation of my devices? We're filing this lawsuit to answer that question, and to prevent the unconstitutional weaponization of federal law enforcement against journalists whose reporting complicates their malign, Israeli-directed agenda.
The @adc is suing DHS Secretary Mullin over the seizure of Max Blumenthal’s phones after he returned from reporting in Iran The lawsuit accuses the govt of not only violating his Fourth Amendment rights, but of retaliating against him for his journalism thegrayzone.com/2026/08/20/a…

In lying about Iran, can the White House do us the courtesy of coordinating its fake death toll? Just this week, Trump told the UN that Iran "slaughtered over 72,000 of its citizens this year." Now Amb. Waltz is reducing that to 40,000:
Terrible to see all these ambassadors to the UN walk out on Israel. Not nearly as many walked out on Iran yesterday — even after they machine gunned 40,000 of their own people.

Trump and Netanyahu's repugnant displays at the UN, in which they boasted of war crimes and threatened genocide, would not have been possible without ostensibly liberal accomplices like Canada's Mark Carney They are all cut from the same cloth
Reporter: Do you think Trump is going too far when he says he is considering annihilating Iran? Do you think that helps the peace process? Mark Carney: There is a war now. He is speaking the language of war.

After moving to “Israel” from Scranton, PA, Amb. Yechiel Leiter founded a group to help fanatical Jewish colonists steal Palestinian homes and land in Hebron He identities today as a settler activist and has lived in a colony whose land was stolen from Khirbet Beit Zakariyyah
Yechiel Leiter grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He was childhood friends with my father. My father stayed in the United States, became a doctor, saved lives, and kept his children safe. Yechiel moved to an apartheid state and sent his children to serve in the occupying army in an illegally settled conflict zone. If choosing life instead of death means anything real beyond an empty slogan, Yechiel did not choose it.

"Of course we're conflated" Neocon David Frum all but confirms he was acting on Israel's behalf when he wrote Bush's notorious "Axis of Evil" speech, plunging the US into a war which killed 1 million Iraqis & left thousands of American soldiers maimed or killed Very dangerous
The "don't conflate Israel and diaspora Jews" gambit is pure extortion. It invites diaspora Jews to seek safety by condoning -and even validating- terrorist violence against Israel. It's an offer to spurn. Of course we're conflated, proudly so. piped.video/watch?v=qVymo7Qr…

On the same day @netanyahu, the fugitive co-murderer of Minab’s schoolgirls, is allowed to overfly Greece, France, Italy and Canada, Iranian civilians are denied overflight rights solely for being Iranian.
A Varesh Airlines flight from Tehran to Dushanbe, capital of Tajikistan, had to return to IKA Airport in Tehran after neighbouring countries between Iran and Tajikistan had denied passage of this Iranian passenger plane. The Iranian plane then attempted to use an alternative route and enter Tajikistan via Azerbaijan, but Azerbaijan did not allow that either. It’s very very unfortunate that our neighbouring countries are submitting to Trump’s forceful request. What’s sad is that if the roles were reversed, Iran would probably have been the first country to help them. Massive loss of respect.

Tony Blair seeks to impose Netanyahu's "total victory" on Gaza in direct violation of the 10/25 ceasefire deal signed by Kushner and Witkoff, who are seated in the front row. Another shameless display of perfidy. Blair mentions the National Committee for Administration created by the Board of Peace to govern Gaza. But he and the Board have done nothing to pressure Israel to allow it enter the besieged strip. Worse, the Board has not lifted a finger to initiate reconstruction or humanitarian aid. Its entire focus has been on advancing Israel's agenda of permanent occupation and dispossession. For every $100 the Board of Peace claims to have raised (out of a total of $7 billion), only $1.75 has gone to Gaza. To whom did the rest of the money go? And while Blair pressures Palestinian resistance factions to disarm, his son, Nicky, has set up a weapons company that reportedly raked in part of a $2 billion+ contract with the UK Ministry of Defence.
Tony Blair on Gaza: There is talk of free Palestine, but for Palestinians living in Gaza, they don't need a slogan; they need a solution. To be free, Gaza must live in peace with its neighbors and with itself. And this cannot happen if it's governed by those who use Gaza as a base for war against a neighbor it has no chance of defeating.

Virtually every line of Trump’s UN address contained a lie Trump increased the fabricated death toll from January’s riots in Iran to 72,000, and bizarrely claimed, “Recently, 10,000 were killed for protesting” He also said “many babies” were killed on Oct 7, when only one was

Old rule (in smug Bill Maher voice): When a Palestinian kills a uniformed Israeli soldier enforcing a military occupation, it is terrorism When a uniformed Israeli soldier bombs a Palestinian refugee camp with 2000 lb bombs, Israel has the right to defend itself
Replying to @TreyYingst
Don't terrorist attacks require the targeting of civilians? This was an armed, on-duty soldier in a military considered to be an occupying force under international law. How does that remotely fit the definition of "terrorism"?
