The BBC does know how to write a headline with certainty. Recall they ran a headline reading: "Hamas raped and mutilated women on 7 October." They later acknowledged they had no forensic evidence or video or photographs or anything else remotely conclusive to back up that

In the 1980s CIA whistleblower John Stockwell said the CIA helped overthrow 20+ constitutional democracies, fomented ethnic conflicts, created death squads, and assassinated multiple Presidents including JFK in 1963. But don’t worry, surely that’s not happening today!

Spoke to Guardian Australia about what DEWR's job numbers continue to quietly reveal: that the main purpose of employment services is to outsource billions of dollars to punish people, rather than help them into meaningful opportunities theguardian.com/business/2025/…

We sent home the Iranian diplomat and packed up its embassy at a big dramatic press conference, after blaming them for a period of domestic terror that gripped our country and threatened social cohesion. Turns out, the decision, was from Israeli intelligence. Seems Israeli

Welfare payments are increasingly conditional & subject to the whims of profiteering job agencies - who can't even help people find work! We must stop expecting Labor to be better. Maintaining an underclass of people living in permanent precarity is part of their business model.

Folks like Neera Tanden, Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, etc got the Democratic Party they wanted — a party that stands for nothing other than satisfying the fluctuating whims of donors & media elites. That party created conditions for Trump’s ascent. They are not the people who will

One of the guys in my network of veterans was a guy who received burns/wounds on 60% of his body. The military would only give him 50% medical disability despite the facts. His wife ended up divorcing him because of how he looked. He ended up plummeting into alcoholism. He

This is unreal. Italian journalist Gabriele Nunziati was just fired for asking EU officials this question: "You’ve been repeating several times that Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe that Israel should pay for the reconstruction of Gaza since

Policing has been, uh, downplayed by Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign. He's now inherited one of the largest & most invasive mass surveillance operations in the US. For WIRED, I take a look at the NYPD's tech & intelligence programs, & what he will/won't do about them

I'm old enough to remember being laughed at when we warned that Hillary libs were always closer to and would always side with Trump over the progressive left.

Wellstone may have initially attracted the CIA's ire in the 90's when he stuck his nose into the Cuautitlán Ford Plant Attack. He even wrote a letter to president Salinas, asking why nothing had been done about it & why the Ford worker's attempts to organize were being crushed.

No war profiteer should go hungry, no landlord uncompensated and no billionaire left behind. Labor's dystopic neoliberal vision.
