It is all so absurd and also exceedingly dangerous. But that's how we do politics now in the USA. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/which-group-…

Obama’s Iran nuclear deal was working until Trump pulled out of it. His own staff warned him not to because the alternative was war. Well, now we’re at war with Iran because Trump is weak, stupid and hated Obama more than he cared about preventing Iran from getting a nuke.

The Germans we love. It does not matter how long it took you to fill those streets and squares, standing against genocide. What matters now is that you are there, remain steadfast and keep growing. Your country is fully involved in Israel's crimes. ONLY YOU CAN STOP THIS.

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. It's the single best explanation I've ever heard on the future of #Iran šŸ‘‡ As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one

If you see this please share it since ⁦Elon Musk⁩ hates links. It’s a fascinating interview from a well informed and fairly pro-Iran perspective. Good to grapple with. dropsitenews.com/p/united-state…

My entire life in politics people have tried to divide Jews and Muslims for cynical purposes. Can't overstate how powerful this solidarity was in obliterating that bullshit.

Mamdani won a higher % of votes from Jewish NYers than from many other ethnic or religious demographics, won the endorsement of Lander & Nadler. It seems the bourgeois press will not stop until Jews conform to their Zionist, Islamophobic narrative. This shit is tired.

True, it hits hard when you realize U.S. politicians want to impose the Taliban’s agenda: banning abortion rights & birth control, imposing official prayer & religious dogma in the schools, banning books considered offensive by the state & criminalizing the LGBTQ+ community.

Laut Polizei, einiger Medien und Politiker wurde bei der Nakba Tag Demo ein Polizist von Demonstrierenden gezielt in die Menge gezogen, getrampelt und schwer verletzt. Unsere Videorecherche zeigt eindeutig: das stimmt nicht counter-investigations.org/investigation/…

The Democratic Primary did not go the way I had hoped either. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø But unlike Andrew Cuomo, I’m capable of listening to New Yorkers. (Also, I like to think I got a little better at making videos as the campaign progressed) Help Zohran Kwame Mamdani crush Andrew Cuomo a second time:

So the Supreme Court said Biden couldn't cancel student loans without congress but Trump can dismantle the entire fucking Department of Education?

Why does the BBC always include context like "Iran-backed Houthis" and "Hamas-run hospital" but never "US-backed IDF" or "indicted-war-criminal Benjamin Netanyahu"?

Every day since 10/7, Israeli officials have made clear, in words & deeds, their intent/objective is the total destruction/erasure/ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Those with power to prevent/stop this crime against humanity have chosen instead to enable it. It’s as simple as that.

Unprecedented: an Israeli university's faculty condemn Israel for war crimes and demand an end to the war. The Department of Middle East Studies at Ben Gurion University published a statement calling for an end to the war and labeling Israel's actions as war crimes.

This is what Gaza City looks like right now, the northern tip of Gaza. No journalist has been there for months. No airplane has been allowed to fly over it and take pictures (this pic was taken in secret). I don't think we can imagine what atrocities have taken place there, the

A simple demand: open the gates to Gaza to aid and media. Let food in and truth out. And the two are related: if you are arguing that there’s no hunger in Gaza, you should welcome media coverage to prove you right. Weird how the deniers are not demanding that. Why, I wonder.
