Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

Con Delcy Rodríguez oggi il #Venezuela è governato - con il Washington Consensus - dal "madurismo senza Maduro". Quelli che plaudono al blitz di Trump e all'uso della forza dovrebbero spiegare se va bene che abbia scaricato Machado e che NON sono previste elezioni a breve.

It seems the pro-Israel consensus among Democrats is well and truly dead at this point. Dem primary voters prefer candidates who refuse to travel to Israel (by net +45%) and back a bill to end military aid to Israel (by net +61%). www.filesforprogress.org/datasets/202...

I wrote about the conservative quest to restore the "true" Constitution, the Antebellum Constitution, shorn of the egalitarian nonsense in the Reconstruction Amendments, a document that replaces equality with a society of dominators and the dominated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

My take is that the pathologies that exist in the Pro-Palestine solidarity sphere are at least in part a symptom of the absence of a broad based legitimate organised Palestinian social and political mobilisation. What the ANC was in South Africa or the PLO was before the 1990s. 1/

They were always going to unleash full-on ethnic cleansing. They were just waiting for a plausible excuse.

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

Die Reaktionen zeigen: Einige stört es, dass gebildete Bürger mit Migrationsgeschichte sichtbarer werden, ihre Interessen und Sensibilitäten artikulieren und Teilhabe einfordern. Das alte Bild des anspruchslosen migrantischen Arbeiters - malochen, schweigen, Projektionsfläche sein - ist vorbei.

Cas Mudde spells out what has become largely the consensus among researchers: moving right on immigration will not weaken the far right nor strengthen social democracy.

‘Palestinians are told to wait for the next stage of the plan, while Israel’s gains become the baseline for the next round of negotiations. And the waiting never ends. Each phase is temporary, but every loss is permanent.’ Zinaida Miller on Gaza’s ‘Yellow Line’. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/no...

Mamdani won because he corrected mistakes the party made in 2024: He offered concrete policies, he didn’t shrink from bad-faith attacks, and he talked to pretty much anyone who would listen. The game has changed, and Mamdani knows how to win it. newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Judith Butler on being named to a list of UC Berkeley faculty & students provided to the Department of Education to be investigated for anti-semitism, w/ zero transparency about what they're being accused of or by whom. Pure McCarthyism & totally indefensible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Intellectual honesty about the motives of Kirk’s assassin are in short supply. Many on the left proclaimed him a far-right follower of Fuentes, who’s attacked Kirk from the right. Meanwhile, parts of the right (see 🧵⬇️) & now far left (see below) proclaim that Israel/Mossad/the Jews did it.

No ma infatti, ha solo trasformato degli insurrezionalisti violenti in eroi della patria, spacciato odio a piene mani su chiunque non la pensi come lui, trattato i migranti come bestiame da eliminare, normalizzato neo-nazisti etc etc etc Dev'essere colpa degli antifascisti!

Far saltare il primo portone di #Evin. Un obiettivo "altamente simbolico". Peccato che i prigionieri politici non sono simboli. Qualcuno è stato ferito, altri, pare, colpiti dalle guardie nel tentativo di fuggire (può darsi che questa fuga l'abbia inventata il regime).

L'intero dispositivo militare più potente al mondo nelle mani di un vecchio corrotto in pieno delirio cognitivo, disposto a subappaltarlo ai compagni di affari se serve, o se leccano il culo debitamente, con ogni sistema di contrappesi che contraddistingue le democrazie totalmente a puttane. 🫣🫣

Bitte, bitte, bitte, ob medial, journalistisch, Social Media, Kommentare - viel, viel mehr grau, weniger schwarz und weiß. Es geht hier um Krieg, jede Art der Polarisierung ist Gift. Es gibt kein „Gut“ und „Böse“, es gibt Millionen Menschen, die betroffen sind. Es geht um sie, nicht ums Rechthaben.

The Israelis are trying to shatter the Iranian state in its current form with no coherent plan for what comes next. Colin Powell's Pottery Barn rule assumed that US leaders would try to fix and own what they broke rather than smash the rest up with Israeli partners and run away.

There is a higher chance of a Qajar restoration than any member of the Pahlavi family regaining power in Tehran

Concordo: molto peggiore. E ricordiamo che la caduta di Saddam aprì le porte al primo genocidio del XXI secolo, quello contro gli yazidi. Che che cosa ci attende oggi?

Penso che siamo in una situazione globale diversa - e peggiore- di quella che, con un casus belli fabbricato, portò alla guerra in Iraq e alla caduta di Saddam Hussein.🧵

I think we're in a even worser global situation than after the US and allies fabricating the casus belli to overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq. 🧵

By deciding to bomb Iran, Trump confirmed two facts about himself: 1) he scolds Ukraine about risking WWIII out of deep deference/sympathy for Ru, not out of caution; 2) his 2-week deadlines to Pu are a stalling tactic, again revealing deference/sympathy for Ru, not caution.

Eines ist klar: Es geht in keiner einzigen politischen Überlegung der beteiligten Männer - Trump, Khamenei, Netanjahu - um das Leben von Menschen in Israel, im Iran oder anderswo. Es geht allein um Macht. Um die eigene politische Existenz. Machtkonzentration ist immer Gift für Menschen.

Due to Israel's war on Iran the regime -as usual under Martial Law - acts even more unhinged. People accused of being "spies" are being arrested, tortured, executed. The internet is either shut down or completely controlled. Plus death, fear & destruction. Thanks, Bibi, the liberator.
