A leading Israeli news site quotes Netanyahu telling his top general, 2 days after Oct 7, to ‘take down houses, bomb with everything you have.’ An admission of war crimes from the horse’s mouth. Let’s see how the hasbarists try spin this. www.ynet.co.il/yedioth/arti...
Or use food as a weapon of war Or bomb civilians, schools, churches and hospitals Or murder tens of thousands of children Or displace millions and occupy their homes But Israel does all that. Israel is a terrorist state.

For 20 days, Israel has sealed off Gaza from any aid or goods access. The occupation is starving Palestinians in Gaza while renewing its relentless genocidal bombing. Made possible by the USA.
WATCH: “I tell her daddy’s working, but she calls me a liar. Next week she turns 5.” 💔 Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. 🇺🇸 😕 More: apnews.com/article/trum...
Here are the U.S. and others’ rankings across a range of indexes - governance, prosperity, health, education, security, social. Not pretty.
The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.
This is what the United States has become. This is a disgrace. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Este mes un millón de personas en Gaza no tendrán acceso a alimentos debido a la prohibición israelí de entrar ayuda humanitaria a Gaza.
ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st. He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses." They didn't show him a warrant. They didn't give him paperwork. And he's now suing.
Israël a repris des bombardements d'une rare intensité à Gaza faisant plus de 200 morts dont beaucoup d'enfants et des familles entières, notamment à Khan Younis. Les génocidaires ont affirmé avoir eu l'accord de l'administration Trump pour commettre ces boucheries.
Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.
🚨 #Yemen 🚨 Al menos 15 civiles asesinados por el tándem anglosionista Trump-Netanyahu. La mayoría mujeres y niños. FUCK ISRAEL FUCK TRUMP‼️✊🏾
A reminder that that US is bombing women and children in Yemen because Yemen is trying to stop the zionist terrorist GENOCIDE in Gaza and the occupied territories. The US is the world’s biggest gangster.
Republicans claim to care about the debt, but they never want to tax the rich. They only want to take it from the health care and programs for the poor and elderly — while CUTTING taxes on the rich. It’s not about efficiency. And they don’t care about the debt. It’s a con.
My current mantras: - Israeli self-defense has always been aggression - The US party duopoly has always been about restoring oligarchy - Capitalism is not compatible with democracy - Zionism is terrorism - Organized religion is evil
Columbia deserves all the shit they get, from Trump, from Zionists, and from progressives. They've buried themselves in a tiny untenable corner trying to satisfy their pro-Israel masters while mascarading as a liberal university.
jon ben-menachem@jbenmenachem.com · last yr.Crisis comms firm at Columbia clearly losing it: "From Alexander Hamilton to Dwight D. Eisenhower to the present, we teach, we heal, we innovate, and we create knowledge."
Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them. There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
We have killed three million people. WE HAVE KILLED THREE MILLION PEOPLE.
Bill McKay@mckay4senate.bsky.social · last yr.The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB
Dear Mr. Farrell. Trump (the US) doesn't really want anything from Australia, Canada or indeed anyone it has slapped tariffs on. Trump is intentionally plunging the US into a recession, to allow the oligarchs to amass more wealth at the expense of everyone else. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Most Americans don't care about fascism or the loss of rights. This election proved that. They do care about the price of eggs. This is where Trump is in trouble. Republicans are going to sink the economy by the summer.
The color coding (and little paddles) of Democrats comes to mind
