Lebanon signed away its right to pursue legal action against Israel for its war crimes in southern Lebanon. Lebanon's deputy prime minister now says individual Lebanese citizens still have the right to bring cases against Israel before European courts. What a pathetic and weak government.

Lebanon outlines legal path to prosecute Israeli war crimes

As Israeli strikes and home demolitions continue in southern Lebanon, a government official outlined the country’s options for legally pursuing Israel.

Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.

if you care about politicians spending money efficiently and effectively it’s very clear on that basis alone that stevens is comically incompetent

Seriously, do not un-critically assume China is good because US bad. Imperialist Hegemons are bad on either side side of the pacific.

In Tibet, some embrace their native language even under China's sweeping new 'ethnic unity' law

A 73-year-old retired nurse spoke her native Tibetan all her life but never learned to write it — until now.

I think the close result tells us is a) tv ads still work on low-info voters and b) Abdul's ground game is real

No matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.

way closer than expected, but an Arab leftist besting 70 million in outside spending is an Arab leftist besting 70 million in outside spending: a political earthquake and a new dawn 25 years after 9/11

Abdul!!!

it sucks that the other site remains the epicenter of election twitter because good lord is it a truly deranged & broken website!

I don’t know who will win in Michigan but I promise I will use either result to get cheap political hits in on politicans I don’t like, that’s the regime promise

do also think people do underestimate how much the spending likely shaped the race before results came in too

Could be a hot take but an AES close win might be for the best tbh we were all riding *a little* too high after all of our recent victories. Probably would be good to hit the brakes a little even if the march continues.

Jared Moskowitz hasn't hosted a single public event in over 3 years. We need a representative who shows up: to town halls, to debates, to the communities he's asking to vote for him. Early voting has started in Miami-Dade. Learn how to vote early below. www.oliverforcongress.com/voting

1 in 8 young people personally know someone who has been the target of deepfake nudes. The DEFIANCE Act stands to give those survivors a chance to seek justice. Whether my name is on the bill or not, we must not allow sexual predators to run amok. We must pass DEFIANCE.

NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

Israel Has Imprisoned a 16-Year-Old Palestinian-American Boy for Two Weeks

Adam Karakrah is one of at least two Americans in Israeli prison – both held while Trump hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

El-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...

NEW AD: Ken Paxton is refusing to answer basic questions about his corruption and criminal record. Texans are demanding answers. What is Ken Paxton hiding?

we need to stop doing this shit; hold the line means hold the line. Treat the bullshit about trans sports as the bullshit it is. Stop buying into their bad faith frameworks. Stop acknowledging "reasonable concerns". Stop acting like fascists *have* reasonable concerns as opposed to wanting us dead

And then he said, "I mean... there are difficult issues. Trying to figure out trans athletes in sports. That's an issue where we could actually come to a policy solution." Yet again, we're nothing but "difficult issues". Yet again, the Democrats' not-so-final solution is kinder gentler segregation.

Abdul El Sayed's open-mindedness on the question of how to actually resolve the question of Palestine is one of the best indicators of his overall intelligence and sincerity. Policymakers in DC should adopt a rights-based approach which prioritizes ending the occupation and apartheid systems.

I’m wary of dunking on someone whose child was literally murdered at Sandy Hook but man this is just bleak

‘How many people do you need to kill before you’ve violated a ceasefire? One, surely. But … how about more than 1,200? That’s how many Palestinians Israel has killed in Gaza since agreeing to an ostensible ceasefire with Hamas in October.’ @barrymalone.bsky.social via @middle-east-eye.bsky.social

Israel is not 'testing' its ceasefires. It's violating them

As the Israeli military ignores deals in Gaza and Lebanon and continues its industrial-scale killing, the western media turns a blind eye

This was seen by more people than I expected, and someone is complaining about liberal smug in the twitter QTs so in the interest of fairness I must note that this situation is definitely much more aggravated with self-identified liberals having no clue about liberal political philosophy

The US Army has expended "virtually all" of available ATACMS ground-launched missiles during the war against Iran. This comes after expending all of the available more modern PrSM missiles. These were all launched from Kuwait, Bahrain, or other nearby Gulf countries.

The US expended all available Precision Strike Missiles during the war, one of which struck a sports hall and killed 21 civilians. These were launched by US Army vehicles in Kuwait, Bahrain, and potentially other GCC countries.
