Yes, the Vatican should “stick to matters of morality” since this administration has the immoral stuff handled.

Rome Statute means no Roman holiday for war criminals.

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

Reminds of of another county who calls their POWs hostages, with everyone else going along with it.

Ben Gvir has no say over Israeli politics he's just a member of parliament, a member of the cabinet, the minister in charge of the national police, and is able to pass discriminatory laws that impose the death penalty onto one group of people on the basis of race. He's basically just the fringe.

The Iron Dome is part of a larger structure-military, diplomatic, economic-that creates a moral hazard for Israelis where the cost of endless war is constantly deferred.

Another way to for the dollar to be devalued.

“Desde 2020, soldados y colonos israelíes han matado al menos a 1.100 civiles palestinos en la Cisjordania ocupada, de los cuales al menos una cuarta parte eran niños, según muestran datos de la ONU. Nadie ha sido acusado por ninguna de estas muertes”.

New data from V-Dem, which tracks democracy worldwide, points to a sharp decline in US democracy in 2025. Checks on the government and the freedom of expression have especially declined. But the data also points to what could halt and reverse the decline. Here’s what the data shows. 🧵

I'm growing more concerned that we're in a similar phase as the Phoney War in WWII.

Tremendo y doloroso testimonio de Dolores Huerta sobre su experiencia con la conducta sexual indebida de César Chávez.

Agencia de espionaje israelí (que Harvey Weinstein usó para desacreditar a sus denunciantes) fue descubierta espiando a políticos de centroizquierda en Eslovenia antes de las elecciones. El actual gobierno esloveno ha sido muy propalestino dentro de la UE. www.mladina.si/247423/israe...

Retiraron cargos contra violadores de palestino en prisión militar israelí de Sde Teiman. A pesar de la evidencia en video y las horribles lesiones. La abogada que filtró el video tuvo que renunciar y fue arrestada.

Antagonizar al país más grande de la región y tercer socio comercial de Chile, antes de asumir la presidencia —y por un gustito ideológico—, no da indicios de moderación ni de responsabilidad en política exterior. www.theclinic.cl/2026/03/10/t...

The EU and individual European countries have no idea how much damage their protection of Israel does to their reputation in the Global South — and some progressive parties to their voters at home. This can have generational effects!

Let's go ahead and partially translate the title into Spanish and call it the Junta of Peace.

If they had a shred of decency, they’d die of shame

"It is erroneous to dismiss the possibility that—as happened in 1948 and 1967—an intense Israeli/Iranian regional confrontation can manufacture a Nakbaic conjuncture (resulting in fewer Arabs present in the already fully Israeli-controlled territory of Mandatory Palestine)."

Which reminds me that I got a driver's license in Texas just so I wouldn't have to walk around with my passport to buy a beer.

Abetting genocide should cost you an election - and in a fair world, much more than that. The Democratic leadership believed they could impose this heinous policy on their voters, and many walked away. It is a stark indictment of the non-authoritarian, liberal alternative to Trumpism.

"Estimamos 75.200 muertes violentas entre el 7/10/2023 y el 5/01/2025 lo que representa aprox. el 3,4% de la población de Gaza antes del conflicto. La cifra del Min. de Salud para este período (49.090 muertes) fue un 34,7% inferior a nuestra estimación central" www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Awards for Palestinians, impunity for Israelis.

This is the enduring legacy of authoritarian regimes, even after their fall: the destruction of trust and social capital.
