Yossarian's Roost Resuscitated

Shaun King
Good afternoon from Brooklyn,
I am about to do something important, but wanted to give you a heads up first.
I am still recovering from the spinal surgery I had back in March (recovery is about 6 months) and have had a much harder time than I expected. But I simply cannot afford to wait until I am recovered until I step up. None of us can.
Let me explain.
Yesterday was the single most deadly and brutal and atrocious day in Gaza in months. Somehow, today has been more horrific, as we’ve seen graphic videos of men, women, boys, and girls literally set on fire by Israel while they were in their tents. I’ll never be able to unsee what I saw today.
Sisters and brothers - Israel and the United States shot nearly 300 people YESTERDAY as they waited in line for food. 100+ were killed and the ones who survived are all struggling to live since most hospitals have been destroyed, most doctors have been killed, and all of the supplies are gone.
Not only that, but we appear to be on the verge of what either could be World War III, a nuclear war, or a brand new genocide between Iran, Israel, the United States - and other possible partners - in a needless conflict that Israel started last week.
I believe these next few days, weeks, and months may be some of the single most important of our lives - where we will be confronting existential threats not only to our own safety and security, but that of people we know and love around the world.
Starting today, I am going to be pushing like a man possessed on every project, every goal, every way I know we can help that is humanly possible. I will work as much as I can and be as organized and efficient as I can, and hope to bring all of you with me.
Are you ready? We need ALL HANDS ON DECK.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun

It should be pointed out that Israel hit many civilian targets in Iran, including a hospital and that Israel placed its military structure beneath a hospital, effectively making the population human shields.

Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.

You’re calling it fraud, but the only fraud here is the narrative.

Those 8 million losing Medicaid and 3 million losing SNAP aren’t criminals; they’re casualties of a system rigged to fail the poor while protecting the powerful.

They’re the elderly, disabled, veterans, students, caregivers, and working-class Americans who can’t meet new red tape and cruel work requirements, not scammers.

You say they “aren’t entitled”?

Funny, corporations get billions in subsidies, but a single mom feeding her kid is “the problem”?
Jesus fed the poor.

This government feeds the rich and blames the hungry.

Trump drops bombs on Iran

According to one source, the US alerted Iran that the bombing would occur. Iran had moved their stuff from the sites and closed them up. They reported there was no significant damage.

People who complain Trump had no authority to bomb Iran conveniently overlook the fact that the US presidents have been illegally helping Israel fight a war all along and that this bombing is but an extension of what has for years been allowed. If Congress truly cared it would have intervened long ago.

The ironic part about telling Black people “go back to Africa” is that many white Americans derive from Ellis Island immigrants who arrived between 1892-1954. Most Black Americans with enslaved ancestors have been here since before this was America, in the colonies.

This image wrecked me and I want to tell you why.
Do you see his ribs? The brother, before he was mercilessly shot and killed by Israel and America while he was waiting in line for food, was already STARVING TO DEATH.
And what I want you to know is that most of my friends in Gaza look just like that. They've shown me their ribs and their waist and they look like skeletons underneath their clothes - they are just too modest and too proud to show the world.
Right in front of our faces, a genocide campaign is fully underway.
YOU KNOW IT.
I KNOW IT.
And every leading human rights organization in the world has agreed.
Experts are now saying that nearly 400,000 Palestinians are MISSING under the rubble. 400,000! That's 20% of Gaza!
And those who are alive look like this - barely living.
Sisters and brothers we must step up.
We must do more.
We must try what we've never tried before.

As-Salaamu Alaikum my dear sisters and brothers,
I’ve been way more quiet for a reason.
I’ve been working on something bold. Something I’ve never done before.
And to be honest — it’s risky. But I believe it’s time.
Too many politicians have stood by while our people suffer.
While bombs fall.
While families starve.
While injustice is legislated, funded, and justified.
They’ve smiled.
They’ve tweeted.
And they’ve gotten away with it.
That ends now.
In the next 24 hours, I’ll be announcing a brand new project.
Something I believe could change the game in American politics.
Something we’ll build together — with truth, receipts, and purpose.
🛡️ We’re not just calling them out.
📊 We’re scoring them.
📌 And we’re naming names.
Be ready.
We will need you.
Tell your people.
This is not a campaign.
It’s a reckoning.
With resolve,
Shaun

Do not listen to any rumors about ceasefire agreements with Gaza. As of right now it’s just fake news between Israel and America.
And the terms they are floating are outrageous. Nobody in the world would ever accept them.
They are both such evil liars that it’s hard to know how such a deal can ever be made.

Democratic leaders are fighting Zohran Mamdani way harder than they’ve ever fought Donald Trump

Cuomo is running independent despite losing primary to Mamdani.

I hope folks now realize “vote blue no matter who” was always just DNC propaganda to get people to obey & support their corrupt corporate candidates.

WE SHOULD NEVER OBEY & NEVER VOTE FOR THEIR CORRUPT CANDIDATES.

Dear Friends,
🛡️ We are building the Human Rights Scorecard — and they’re already trying to stop it.
Not because it’s wrong.
Not because it’s violent.
But because it’s working.
Let me explain.
For too long, politicians have fooled our communities.
They smile for the cameras.
Say the right things.
Post the polished graphics.
And then they turn around and vote for war, prisons, surveillance, and genocide.
They take millions from AIPAC.
From defense contractors.
From private prisons and fossil fuel billionaires.
And then tell us they’re “progressive.”
We’re done being lied to.
That’s why we’re building the Human Rights Scorecard — a real-time, public, 1–100 rating system that tracks what U.S. politicians actually do, not what they say.
📊 Here’s what it scores:
🗳️ How they vote — on war, policing, ICE, incarceration, and foreign aid
💸 Who funds them — AIPAC, weapons makers, prison lobbies
📉 What they invest in — Are they profiting from systems of harm?
🗣️ What they say — and 🤐 what they refuse to say
📜 What legislation they support, bury, or betray
Every score will be:
🧾 Cited
📱 Searchable in a mobile app
🔍 Updated in real time
This is a permanent system of receipts — to protect you, your family, your friends, your masjid, your church, your community.
And it’s already being built.
✅ Engineers are coding
✅ Researchers are gathering evidence
✅ Designers are mapping the architecture
✅ Volunteers are stepping up daily
But we’re not done yet.
📊 Current progress as of today:
🧍🏽‍♀️ 594 donors
💰 $18,809.50 raised
🎯 $81,190.50 still needed to reach $100,000
We can finish this — but only together.

🛡️ This project isn’t backed by billionaires.
🛡️ This project isn’t supported by PACs or political parties.
🛡️ This project belongs to the people.
And that’s exactly why they’re afraid of it.
They’ve tried to silence it.
Throttled our links.
Buried our posts.
Slowed our emails.
But it’s too late.
The truth is spreading.
And we are not going anywhere.

Trump calling for an end to the war on Hamas while working to free Netanyahu from the legal system could mean an actual end is in sight.

Iran blasts Donald Trump as 'enemy of God' and issues fatwa

Dont you mean fatwanker.

Part of the problem is how normies who don't follow this stuff closely cannot believe Israel could be as evil as we're saying it is. They're often like "Oh yeah right, they're just killing civilians because they're evil and want Palestinians to die." Which would make sense if you hadn't been following Israel's pattern of behavior from day to day and weren't familiar with the way Israelis talk about Palestinians whenever they're speaking to each other in Hebrew instead of addressing the western press.

Israel's public image is somewhat protected by the fact that its behavior is so profoundly evil that simply talking about it strains credulity among the uninformed, like how you sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist if you talk about some of the things the CIA has openly admitted to doing in the past. Many people literally cannot believe anyone could be as evil as Israel is, so the true extent of their crimes go unseen.
