Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
They know that many people in the US will accept the killing of civilians overseas but will draw the line at high gas prices.
If 180 of my students died in an air strike, I would likely perish from grief.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.
Well if the munitions aren’t good enough to avoid bombing an elementary school, the correct thing is not to bomb at all.
This is really good. So careful in his explanation, cogent in his analysis, and asking the exact right question for the moment.
Yes, And…(see what I did there?) artists are used to solving problems with little or no budget!

I don’t know my history on this: is there a chance the Bolsheviks/Lenin learned from the failures of Reconstruction post US Civil War?
The indignity is not just that they’re thieves, it’s that they’re also losers.

This makes the latest round of Biss v Fine even funnier and stupider than it already was.
on the 24th of Feb, 1966, Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of independent Ghana and co-founder of the Non-Aligned Movement, was deposed in a coup backed by the US and UK. The coup was part of a coordinated effort to destroy socialist and Pan-Africanist movements on the continent.
Here’s a good example.
“Skeptical”?
“Telling Americans a story”?
Did you use one (1) brain cell before publishing this??

I’m admittedly not the audience for this stuff, but it remains baffling the credulity with which political media treats a Mad King being praised by his boot-licking sycophants.
“Is Donald Trump going to speak to regular Americans?”
Wtf are you talking about?
Honestly, Simmons is a superhero for the way he navigated this situation and for still wanting to represent IL-9 afterwards.
SCOOP: IL-9 congressional candidate and current state senator Mike Simmons had police called on him in Buena Park while canvassing for votes. No arrest was made. Here’s the video of the interaction @senmikesimmons.bsky.social recorded and shared with me.
Last year, I emailed Chicago’s chief homelessness officer, Sendy Soto, as well as spokespeople for both Soto & Mayor Johnson, six times. I wanted to understand their approach to evicting unhoused Chicagoans from the shelters they build to survive. No response.

He just shows who he is over and over again.
Schumer: “I have many jobs as leader.. and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs. I will continue to fight for it.
“We delivered more security assistance to Israel, our ally, under my leadership than ever, ever before. We will keep doing that.”

“Children were in the crowd screaming.”
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, considered a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, recently repeated the racist lie that “Hamas… raped innocent people on October 7,” while appearing on the I’ve Had It podcast, where host Jennifer Welch asked him about Israel’s actions in Gaza. The claim continues to be routinely repeated, without challenge, including in progressive political spaces, despite the lack of substantiating evidence. More than 27 months later, Israel has not produced enough evidence to convince a single independent international body, including the UN Commission of Inquiry, or major human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, that even a single incident of rape definitively occurred on October 7. These unsubstantiated allegations function as a propaganda tool, used to dehumanize Palestinians and to justify continued U.S. and Israeli mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

They really do have no respect for nor fear of their base. And they think we’re all stupid.
Love when politicians think we can’t comprehend that opposing BDS is the opposite of opposing the criminalization of free speech.

These NIMBY fucks absolutely hate Edgewater. They act like they're trying to preserve "character," but they really just want to be fief lords. They're ungrateful dumbfucks acting against the interests of the neighborhood. They are miserable and pathetic.
Another way of saying that they didn’t care about endangering Venezuela lives.
Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.
