And the biggest budget cuts due to the BBB and presumably also in the coming 2026 budget are kicking people off health insurance.

I’ve been following Palestine protests for a long time. I could be wrong, but this feels different. Protests in Italy are big and numerous. General strike already declared for Friday. Loads of protests planned in the UK. Spain, Greece, Germany, Belgium, Sweden either already happening or planned.

What's with leaders of countries today being abject cowards and so openly so? What a joke. Can't even defend the mayor of your most important city, of your own party. Get out of here.

Just read Last Call at the Imperial Hotel, biography of foreign correspondents, Thompson was one of them. Here's an excerpt on what Frances Gunther thought about fascists.

I just watched a clip where a reporter asks Starmer five times in a row, five times in a row, five times in a row, five times in a row, five times in a row whether or not Trump's accusations against Sadiq Khan were racist and Starmer refused to answer yes or no each time. What a fucking joke.

"From June 2022 to June 2024 — the first two years after [..] Dobbs [..] — prosecutors initiated at least 412 cases across the country charging individuals with crimes related to their pregnancy, pregnancy loss, or birth." "The cases spanned across 16 states." #USA #Healthcare

man i wonder if there's some religious tradition or traditions that say that you can have a personal relationship with god and don't have to be bound by what some old guy in rome says about an issue. maybe matt should gather up all his complaints about the pope and make a list to post somewhere...

Flotilla update: The Colonel Klink Navy has been haplessly pursuing the Jeannot III on camera for the last 40 minutes or so. Watch the livestream critics* are calling “better than the OJ chase because you have somebody to root for”: www.youtube.com/live/uEN2bWF... *just me for now

Breaking | dozens of protesters march through the streets of Athens, Greece, denouncing Israel’s illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla and the genocide in Gaza.

Breaking | Greg Stoker reports Thirty-two vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla continue their mission toward Gaza regardless of Israeli threats, with an estimated 9 to 12 hours remaining until they reach the Strip.

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media. The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters. They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters. Israel is once again breaking international law

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

Deleted a post when I realized I snapped to a judgment without doing the required research. However, I still believe no attempt to support Palestinians is "wasteful". And AI is bad even if you try to excuse it with the rare use case. This type of petty criticism gives COINTELPRO vibes.

Sophia reporting from the Conscience Both Italy and Spain have withdrawn their ships, abandoning the Global Sumud Flotilla to be intercepted by the Israelis

It's essential in this moment to see how so much of what is presented as liberal common sense--including various "reforms"--are counterinsurgency techniques that bolster a horrific status quo and prevent people from aligning around transformative and simple solutions that would otherwise be obvious.

We Are Nothing Like the Gestapo.

This is not unexpected. The labor market has been slowing down for nearly three years - we peaked in February 2022 - it's just that interest payments, military spending, and the AI bubble managed to offset the decline for 18 months. finance.yahoo.com/news/adp-rep...

I struggle to think of an editorial board that's been more overtly racist and genocidal that the NY Times one. This is on the level of Putinist bullshit about denazifying Ukraine.

Here's me two months ago estimating - based on their revenue leaks - that OpenAI was at $5.26bn or so by end of July. I can't believe A) how close I was and B) how I was *too generous*. There were some who said I was being too harsh! bsky.app/profile/edzi...

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

"Despite finding that the Trump administration had unlawfully trampled noncitizens’ constitutional rights, Judge Young did not immediately block the government from attempting further deportations." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Waseem. Waseem was married just a few days before the war began and him and his family (some with injuries) have been displaced repeatedly. He hadn’t made a fundraiser before but now in two months his first child Nabil is going to be born❤️

the only major change any theoretical democratic president after trump would make would be to change the biden picture on the walk of shame

It's only election manipulation when the other side does it. www.moonofalabama.org/2025/09/mold...

This means that it is now Labour’s official position that Israel is committing genocide. While at the same time, the Labour government continues to arm that genocide Absolutely extraordinary!

"[P]rice increases for 688 medications—310 brand-name drugs and 378 generic ones—during Trump's second term, with a median increase of 5.5% and 25 treatments more than doubling in cost." Trump "has threatened to increase tariffs on pharmaceuticals to up to 250%." #USA #Drugs #Healthcare

This book from @equalityalec.bsky.social is a must read and as a bonus all royalties go to my friends @stoplapdspying.bsky.social.

This is the impression in the states too from what shows make it over. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjnm....

Tell people when you like their work. No, they really don't know. No, you can't assume others are telling them. Yes, it means the world.

Two years, two presidents, two dozen attempts at a proposal to end the war, and almost always the US retreats back to the same ideas that were floated in November 2023: no Israeli control of Gaza, but no Palestinian control either.

After nearly two years of global movement pressure, governments across the world are starting to take action supporting Palestinians in the face of the Israeli government’s genocide.

This appears to be the full video of the Chicago delivery worker. It actually appears that an agent tries to assault him after he curses the Dear Leader Kim il Trump to their faces.

Is "probe for motive" code for "white guy with politics aligned with most cops, so the cops are trying to find something he once said that makes him seem like a kook or a Leftist"?

I don't think anyone's posted it here but Lloyd Doggett has a constituent on the Sumud Flotilla and has demanded that Israel allow the fleet into Gaza

Mmmm no I don't think that's true I think Peruvian cops are attacking the children of Peru just like they do in every country where there's children and cops, which is all of them

How much your soul worth fam..?

Now that you’ve plastered him all over the internet I’m sure they’ll just leave him alone.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

"You thought, as a boy, that a mage is one who can do anything. So I thought, once. So did we all. And the truth is that as a man’s real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he can follow grows narrower: until at last he chooses nothing, but does only and wholly what he must do..."

Classic Blair. He is now proposing himself as the Empire's Regent of Gaza. A war criminal himself, he demands a five year appointment to run the site of Israel's genocide on behalf of Donald Trump in the finest tradition of White Settler Colonial projects www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wait, Ezra is from the OC? That explains so much

Northwestern is banning over 300 students for refusing to watch an extremist indoctrination video that demonizes anti-Zionists, including Jews, as Nazis and Klansmen. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Many folks have messaged us about looking into these local PDs working with ICE. Without a paper trail, it is difficult to prove collaboration. What isn't difficult to prove is there's obviously implicit permission; police loyalties always lie with other police. No official welcome mat necessary.

This is who Ezra Klein had on his show at least twice. Ezra Klein is a racist, white supremacist zionist pretending to be "centrist"
