The latest AIPAC shill repeating the establishment Dems favourite bullshit talking points. Hey, it worked out so great for Cuomo when he did it, why not try it again ad nauseam? You know what: if using Hasan as a punching bag takes out these freaks, let them keep trying. He's rubber, they're glue.

It's always the ones with the most punchable faces.

Some of you know I work for @outrider.org — We announced our upcoming Nuclear Media Summit last week. We would love more media folks to hear about this. Please share!

"Iran has bombed U.S. bases across the Middle East.. forcing many American troops to relocate to hotels and office spaces throughout the region. . . ." Looks like the U.S. is using civilians in the Gulf as human shields www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/u...

I'm happy to announce this new paper — we compile evidence on the extraordinary harms caused by IMF and World Bank structural adjustment programmes in the global South since the 1980s. gh.bmj.com/content/11/S...

Lama Z. Khouri, a Palestinian-Jordanian psychoanalyst, traces how exile and institutional formation shaped her into a “conscripted container” – a colonized subject conditioned and trained to absorb erasure and call it professionalism. Subscribe to The Key via link in bio

When a politician uses the phrase “two-state solution,” realize that it actually means the status quo, which is apartheid. Two state solution is a secret handshake for Zionists. Zionists are the racist trash killing people in Palestine and Lebanon. Nothing about this is complicated.

Went to an appointment today, the sort of place where you’re waiting on a gurney, and someone on the other side of the curtain came in, recited their birthdate…and it was the exact same birthdate (year included) of someone I haven’t spoken to in months. I’ve wondered if it was a sign of anything.

The number of times I draft a post or reply here, and then delete because it’s waaay too raunchy or at the very edge of vulgar humour…really just makes me think I need to be out at a pub making my friends laugh. Alas.

Lebanon’s residents are under immense psychological strain as Israel’s war compounds their daily struggles. In 2024, Nour Nahhas spoke with psychologist Lara Sheehi about psychological warfare, steadfastness, and the insistence on living amid war. thepublicsource.org/politicizing...

Literally fucking started with the Nakba in 1948. I can play you a recording of my 85-year-old father emotional while recounting leaving the Haifa home he was literally born in at the age of eight. Knowing they would never return. That pain never goes away. It has ALWAYS been a genocide.

“Unleash a campaign tarring God as a self-hating Jew.” OMG. Nearly bust a gut laughing at this. I have seen the second coming, and it’s got to be @elivalley.bsky.social (Some of us share a similarly dark Semitic sense of humour…which is a much better use of all of our time.)

Friends: Marah is pregnant and she and her family are trying to leave Gaza. If you can help her family out, it would mean a lot to me and to them. 🙏🏼❤️

As the US/Israeli aggression on Iran, Israeli ethnic cleansing of Lebanon, and ongoing attacks and stopping of humanitarian aid to Gaza continue, so does the horrific rampaging violence of Israeli settlers and occupation forces in the West Bank. Act now: tr.ee/settler

NEW: “Assad was gone, but we woke to the rumble of armor near our villages.” Since Dec. 2024, Israeli incursions have intensified in southern Syria. Kholoud Helmi examines the impact in Daraa and Quneitra, and what Syrian and international actors can do: timep.org/2026/03/26/a...

"Palestine, while in unspeakable pain, should inspire the world to resist the monsters to achieve emancipation, justice, dignity, and equality."

The IDF tortured a baby to get his father to confess to a crime. This is just another atrocity among tens of thousands. What have been seeing for the past decade is the concentrated, systematic slaughter of people, esp Arabs, across West Asia in service of the colonial “Greater Israel” feverdream.

The UN is already hobbling after 3 years of genocide and other criminal actions which it has done nothing to stop. Its use now, by powerful states, to aggressively penalize Iran during a blatantly illegal war against it may finally break the UN's back.

Three countries voted against this resolution: The United States of America, Israel, and Argentina. If you didn't know how corrupt these countries are, look again. www.bbc.com/news/article...

All that effort to separate Zionists and Zionism from Jews and Judaism, just for them to conflate them all over again. They’re the ones who want a holy war, while they gaslight the whole world about Islam and “Islamists.” Fucking psychopaths.

In #Lebanon, 300,000 children have been displaced by escalating conflict — and their needs grow more urgent every day. Our colleagues are responding by delivering safe water, nutrition, health services and more. UNICEF's Ted Chaiban speaks from Beirut about what it takes to protect children:

Most of the AI systems contain my work. Anthropic listed 115 of my titles, last time I checked. so yeah, those fuckers will bitch, because they stole my soul to power their Frankenstein beasts. Somebody pitchfork a billionaire.

This is who the country of Israel is. I know lots of people in America would really prefer it that Israel were not the country who would torture babies. But Israel are that country. We in America are also that country. We made a child rapist the President. But Dems wouldn’t denounce Israel. Huh.

It's actually enraging how the World Bank can suddenly change its mind about industrial policy like "Oops, for the past 45 years we systematically prevented you from using the most obvious tool for sovereign development, keeping you stuck in poverty and dependency, lol".

A study done by Ontario’s electricity operator found that wind and solar energy combined with battery storage can meet about 99.5% of Ontario’s electricity demand. Renewables can power Ontario’s future. Let's put #RenewablesON! act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/188460/...

Hey @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Is this the nation you just said you “revere(d)”? A nation that practices summary execution of people held without charge for years? This is the state whose apartheid laws you refuse to acknowledge.

I want to say that folks forget the origin of the IDF in Zionist terrorist cells operating in Palestine but you all never heard about it in the first place. You haven’t done any of the reading. This is not an invitation to ask me to explain it for you; you can find the info you need on your own.

The same immigration service that brought you AI hallucinating the reasons for rejecting applicants, also brought you this travesty:

As someone who was working directly on the immigration portal that I imagine this lady applied through, this is entirely foreseeable. I have stories about what a fucking shit show our immigration service is that would enrage and nauseate...Canada’s reputation is not the reality.

It comes as Israel is seen as likely to exploit the shift of focus from Gaza to Iran, where it is carrying out daily attacks with the US
