In considering the architectural monstrosities Trump plans to erect in our nation's capital. Consider what happened in Iraq, Berlin, and even the USA. Monuments to past discredited leaders have been trashed, toppled, turned into scrap. Stalin, Sadaam, Confederate generals: all gone. 1/2

Contrary to the claim that a mass Exodus of highly educated & skilled Israelis is a danger to state security & economy, it's a warning that the nation is mired in an inteactable mess. As a result, theyre voting w their feet. It's a clear sign of social implosion

Actually, no. Hamas made clear after Trump announced the agreement that disarming was dependent on Israeli withdrawal. It would be foolish to disarm & then leave it to Board of Peace to convince Israel to withdraw. It would never happen & Hamas knows what it apparently doesn't

Aipac and its dark money PACs (Democratic Majority for Israel, United Democracy Project, etc.) plan to spend nearly $200-million during the 2026 election cycle. Our response: money loses; the people win.

I do not understand why the media reports every word Trump speaks as if it was real news. When they and everyone in the world knows not only that he is lying, but that he's such a sociopath that he doesn't even know he's lying. Everything he does or says is worthless, meaningless. 1/3

Question for anyone who's visited Auschwitz: when I visited there was a large circle of Italian Catholics praying aloud in a public space just outside the prisoner barracks. 1/4

James Carville is a fucking dinosaur. If he thinks the Party needs him or will miss him when he's gone, taking Fetterman with him, he's sorely mistaken. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. In fact I think the Party needs a corrective.

1/4 De berichtgeving over een "verstoring" bij Loods 24 is feitelijk onjuist. Er is niet geschreeuwd en geen lawaai gemaakt. Vier Joodse bezoekers (drie vrouwen en een 75-jarige man) droegen T-shirts met een oproep tot vrede en draaiden de ambassadeur zwijgend de rug toe.

There is a 99.9% level of certainty that Trump's much-vaunted "disarmament agreement" with Hamas & Israeli withdrawal will fail. As this article confirms. Netanyahu has not yet even confirmed Israel will fulfill its obligations under the so-called deal. It won't.

To every Israel Zlonst group and pro Israel oligarch attempting to tear down Zohran Mamdani as an anti-Semite. Latest poll has Mamdani with a 44% favorabiliy rating among As American Jews.

Trump's much ballyhooed disatmament agreement, which media have anmointed as part of the Board of Peace's 20-point peace plan, is highly dubious. It relies on Israel withdrawing from Gaza. It will NEVER DO THIS. NEVER. Once that becomes clear Hanas will refuse to disarm.

An Israeli security source commented on Netanyahu's claim he is protected by IDF special forces. He said he is "unaware of any such thing." A polite way of saying it's a crock of shit. Typical Bibi. Full of swagger and braggadocio. Or as they say in Hebrew: liar son of a liar

The GOP is a pro COVID Party. While it didn't start the epidemic, it was the direct cause of hundreds of thousands of needless deaths through inaction and even blockage of critical medical/scientific procedures. Trying to crucify Fauci is but one example. It is the Party of Death
