Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Spain is being publicly punished for its defiance of American imperialistic aggression and hegemonic control and for having the audacity to call what Israel is doing in Gaza what it actual is, a genocide. It has also taken steps to limit Israel's activity in the country.

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

"Ivor Ichikowitz, whose South African family foundation commissioned the report, said..." Ivor Ichikowitz is a South African oligarch. Shocker that the report would attempt a positive spin on Elon's murderous USAID cuts. Do better.

He fails to see I can post about this & support my Jewish friends at same time. I lived over there. This book was written well after I'd left but well before Oct 7th - it shows the pattern & proves they're a pack of psychosexually disordered, sadistic exterminationist racists, among other things.

The greatest global threat to both peace and a habitable planet is the government of the USA. It has been so for a long time, but Trump has nixed the deniability. We should stop treating it as an ally that has mysteriously gone astray and start treating it as a hazard to be avoided and contained.

Ever since the ethnic cleansing that created the state of #Israel, #Gaza has always been used as a place to locate displaced Palestinians. In 2026, however, the process has become utterly genocidal and involves establishing what can only be described as a concentration camp.

Israel has destroyed and depopulated the half of Gaza it controls.
