Mystery is crazy…. Arrest that man www.bbc.com/news/article...

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

“This Jewish self-determination is coming at the cost of my self-determination as a Palestinian.” Mahmoud Khalil joined Mehdi to discuss the conflation between anti-zionism & anti-semitism & his hope for a land where everyone can co-exist peacefully. Watch the discussion: zeteo.com/p/mahmoud-kh...

Actually kind of absurd how bad British cable news is on this issue. True for the US as well with how the NYT says "Israeli-controlled West Bank / Golan".

the NYT decides on its narratives and really, really has a hard time adjusting coverage to reality. it was the biggest pusher of 'resistance is dead', reflecting the general desire among the US establishment for Trump to be a punitive force against their critics. #nokings doesn't fit its story

hell yeaj

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this. Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.

A FIGHTER JET RAINING SHIT

as a new york times reporter, you are not allowed to say anything negative about any demographic except new york times subscribers

The Holocaust was the result of a thousand years of European antisemitism, built up over a decade by a fascist regime that made genocide its first priority. We are going to kill 14 million people because one Nazi-following weirdo with an overpriced car company was briefly popular with Donald Trump.

“but that’s American imperialism“ no, actually, participating in an international conspiracy to destroy the United States and the guarantees of her laws & constitution to her citizens is an act of war and must be responded to appropriately.

@recolston.bsky.social makes some great points about the overall framing, the implication that the Israel-Palestine context is something like two functionally sovereign states fighting over an internationally disputed territory that both have legitimate claims to but neither has control over it.

A mutual on the other site just pointed out something re: criticism of No Kings/50501 from the left, and that it's most of them simply do not understand that Democratic party leadership and the base Democratic voters are not remotely the same thing

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

Is this like a Benoit Blanc situation

“CBS News declined to comment on whether Ms. Weiss’s expression of strong opinions on major news events ran afoul of its ethics rules, or belied CBS News’s efforts to appear nonpartisan.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/b...

decades of sophisticated political philosophy dedicated to the criticism of rights discourse, theories of alienation from “organic community,” and advocacy for post-liberal forms of “counter-politics” have all led to Donald Trump posting an AI video of himself as a king shitting out of a plane

While people on here talk nonstop about this supposedly large contingent of the pro Palestine left which heaped praise onto Trump for the ceasefire, CNN's Dana Bash ran a seven minutes long program yesterday on how the left is ungrateful and never actually wanted a ceasefire.

... man

An open violation of a ceasefire is only a test if you're Israel

Has anyone seen Tlaib praise Trump? No? OK then you are shadowboxing online like always.

it's soup for my family, The Campaign

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

"X Protest is useless it does not challenge power" can be criticized from the left. When you see a mobilization of millions from a cross section of society, contrasting one side (typical citizens), and another (cops and rich hecklers), a marxist asks—how did this happen and how do we GAS this grill!

And of course the mythologization of Rabin leaves out how the man himself characterized the Oslo framework and only offered Palestinians an “entity” that is “less than a state”.

People endlessly talk on here about big of a mistake it is for Israel to pin all of its ambitions onto one party in the United States but to be true that necessarily entails the other party actually doing something substantive to punish Israel next time it controls the government.

Lmao 'test of ceasefire' is funny. They broke the ceasefire. AP has gone from sanewashing and passive voice to outright not understanding the definition of words in the dictionary.

Basically everyone I have ever met who says they oppose cultural boycotts in all instances is a liar. They have some exception. I think it is better to just be honest.

The most liberal approach to the Palestinian question from any mainstream Israeli party is that of South African Bantustans, which would actually be a major improvement over the current situation.

ultimately, zohran mamdani is a reminder that politicians can be younger than 80 years old

It's called the Zohran special.

The alternative to Pax Americana is arms proliferation and militarization in the face of actually existing imperialism

like we are literally seeing what it looks like right now, people are watching Israel and paying attention - it's Bad!

AIPAC: American Influence Purchased And Controlled

lmao

the truth is that Pritzker has power because the cops technically answer to him and he's understandably anxious about what happens if that's suddenly not the case. the civ-mil crisis of municipal policing in the 21st century United States will come to a head at some point. nobody wants to rush it

It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

As a professional doomer, I think I should say: This doesn't mean they can't "win", but the world that results from that will, inevitably, also be shaped by your actions and beliefs, and those of millions of your compatriots. Your existence is itself a weapon against what they want to create.

You are not obliged to let your moral compass spin with the election results. You have a right to hold unpopular opinions. You have a right to your own damn principles. Remember that. Please.

I was not at the June protest but my dad was, and he kept commenting today on how much more casual and less confrontational the police were this time. No riot gear, very dispersed, very relaxed.

"Casserole? What kind?"

The Coast Guard spent $172 million on the jets, according to The New York Times.

New reporting reveals over 7,000,000 Americans participated in today’s No Kings Day rally.

The antifa terrorist marxists are out

Extremely grim thinking about how in the mid 00s Dave Chapelle used to walk out on his show to dead prez and now Chapelle is a right wing crank and the guy from dead prez is an Instagram wellness influencer.

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

Seven million patriots celebrated the real America today.

DSA supports the mass mobilizations against Donald Trump. As socialists we must be clear: defeating Trump and his administration means defeating the whole capitalist, imperialist system. Join DSA to help build the movement for a better world.
