She is rightfully scared of losing her seat to a very good challenger.

Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard. www.rawstory.com/trump-milita...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Any surprise? Threatens any dissent with FCC and civil suits, and Bibi just bans them from his country. How do you spell fascism?

Wonder how Christian Zionists reconcile these atrocities with the teachings of Christ? Do they bother? Is Israel an Idol to them that is now more important that the people God values most?

Your tax dollars at work -- slaughtering civilians. Cat will no doubt market that model dual use tractor as "battle tested" for mass graves in to the next repressive regime.

Hey America -- your tax money hard at work forcing starvation. I'm so proud of the US of A!

your tax money hard at work

Finally, what I was taught in law school -- that it is not okay for the govt to persecute people because of their point of view -- is actually upheld by a court of law. We will see if the packed supreme court will overturn this foundational right, and if so, what we all will do about it.

The future of Palestine is about much more than the human and national rights of its own people — it has become the defining question about the future of humanity. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/the-... #Palestine #Israel

Here’s last night’s story about Benjamin Netanyahu, the extreme voices he’s allied with in his country, and how one wonderful pen can help everyone better understand the geography of the Middle East. youtu.be/0_Bwix9IjOE

On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver tore into Netanyahu for Gaza’s suffering and war crimes, his corruption scandals, and for obstructing a ceasefire—calling him “an asshole and a son of a bitch.” When Oliver brought up Palestinian state recognition, the HBO studio audience erupted in applause.

Big deal- Ben already unilaterally breached a trumps ceasefire. Before that he unilaterally breached the 3 phase ceasefire/ truce during Biden’s admin. If you think he has any intent to stick to a ceasefire that leads to autonomy and peace for Palestinians, you’re delusional bsky.app/profile/mond...

Donald Trump says Benjamin Netanyahu accepted the latest U.S.-backed "peace plan" in Gaza and threatened Hamas that if it rejects the proposal, Israel would have his "full backing to finish the job" of destroying the group. mondoweiss.net/2025/09/trum... #Palestine #Israel

"F*ck that, that's not a strategy....If your strategy for stopping fascism is to hope that a few Republicans in Congress find a conscience or a spine, then get the hell out of here." Me on the useless Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Full discussion: zeteo.com/p/the-suspec...

Confirmed News Update, September 29: The Global Sumud Flotilla Receives Aid from Turkish Naval Ships Report by Drop Site’s Alex Colston.

“We cannot hear the sirens.” In Gaza, all Palestinians are facing relentless violence and the deliberate use of starvation as a weapon of war. Within this larger humanitarian catastrophe, the deaf community faces unique and often overlooked challenges. Read more: pcusa.org/news-storyte...

Does this explain why Western nations' leaders can callously watch a genocide unfold and support it? Western leaders aren’t cowards for continuing to support Israel — they’re committed imperialist ideologues mondoweiss.net/2025/09/west...

“Israeli Forces Kill 198 Palestinians in Gaza Over Three Days” It’s a genocide. Daily endless massacres, largely ignored in the West.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Hopefully Nobel Peace Prize Committee will consider UNHCR, UNICEF, Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, UNRWA Nobel historian: “He ( Trump) has no chance to get the Peace Prize at all,", citing support for Israel war in Gaza, attempts at rapprochement with Putin etc www.reuters.com/world/europe...

A petition for Francesca Albanese and Gaza doctors to win a Nobel Peace Prize has gained over one million signatures

Pure evil: Isreal bombs another hospital in South Gaza (where they are telling 1 mil people to relocate) only to then bomb the responders to the criminal attack. You’ll not see this on Western media. substack.com/@deaglanomul...

So weird that these things keep happening!

Israel and countries like El Salvador, South Sudan, and Eswatini, which have agreed to accept and in some cases imprison U.S. deportees as part of Trump’s growing global gulag, got a soft touch.

Israel, the ISIS of the West, is likewise trying to erase history by obliterating world heritage sites along with the citizens. When Israel does it with Western backing, it isn’t even reported by the lapdog media. Israel’s ongoing attrocities are a crime against all of us. x.com/ChrisLynnHed...

Reem Hamadaqa is among 70 Palestinian students accepted into Canadian graduate programs who are unable to leave Gaza due to the Israeli siege and genocide. The students are calling on the Canadian government to defend their right to education. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/70-p... #Palestine #Israel

6 months ago, in the shadow of the night, Israeli soldiers took 16-year-old American Muhammad Zaher Ibrahim from his family. He’s been imprisoned ever since. He’s suffered from scabies & lost 25 pounds. Remember Sayfollah Musallet, the young American killed by settlers last month? They’re cousins.

Awdah Hathaleen was killed by Israeli settler Yinon Levy in broad daylight. The perpetrator walks free, while Awdah’s body has been held hostage by the Israeli army. The village of Umm al-Khair is going on hunger strike to recover his body. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/comm... #Palestine #Israel

The first Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress, which drew 1,000 anti-Zionist Jews and their allies to Vienna, marked a significant moment in the rising tide against the settler-colonial state of Israel.

France, Great Britain, and Canada's recognition of a Palestinian state might matter someday. But, as usual, the Palestinians won't get any immediate help from Europe, much less from North America, in stopping the Gaza genocide now. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/u-s-...

The free speech organization PEN America fired me three days after I published an article about how they investigated me for sharing an article critical of Zionism. My termination is a sad reflection of PEN's censorious approach to Palestine. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/pen-... #Palestine #Israel

From @theguardian.com: The Israeli government knows how much food is needed in Gaza. It has been calibrating hunger levels for decades, initially calculating shipments to exert pressure while avoiding starvation. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Israel arrests anyone, even American heath care workers, who try to keep them from killing Palestinians in West Bank theintercept.com/2025/08/01/a...

A series of events: —We ask Senators how many Americans had been killed by Israeli violence. None know. One replies “I am pro-Israel” —Settlers kill American —We ask Senators who took photo with Netanyahu about it. No reply —Senate approves more weapons to Israel —Settlers kill another American
