When is there going to be a reckoning with the warmongers? Iran is the West's *fourth* strategic military defeat this century - on top of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. Yet cheerleaders for war still populate the media and politics - with no accountability.

The Israel lobby tried to destroy him. Trump and his allies waged a vicious Islamophobic hate campaign against him. The Democratic Establishment undermined him. The Democratic candidate he defeated tried to ratfuck him. But this anti-genocide pro-Medicare for All Muslim WON

Tucker Carlson is a former close ally of Trump. He undoubtedly maintains links to the Administration - not least to JD Vance. We shouldn’t rule out the possibility of a US nuclear strike on Iran.

Sorry to say this: But the incredible surge for Palestinian-led parties in Israel is a victory from which they will not recover. It is likely to provoke a mighty backlash in Jewish Israeli society, with dire consequences.

Just listen to this. Then consider these polls: 76% of Jewish Israelis think there are no innocents in Gaza (Aug 2025) 82% support expelling Palestinians from Gaza (May 2025) 47% support killing all inhabitants of conquered enemy cities (May 2025)

The world needed hope right now - and Brazil delivered it. After a wave of pro-American far-right candidates swept Latin America, Lula defied the odds. The world's fourth largest democracy has been saved from far-right authoritarianism. Here's to hope ✊

Watched NAZA yesterday. At the end, there was total silence, other than the occasional sob. No one moved until the credits stopped rolling. It’s a film which the perpetrators of genocide confessed their crimes. One day that will happen from the dock.
