'Palestinians have every reason to regard Blair with contempt. During his premiership, he colluded with US president George W. Bush to launch the 2003 invasion of Iraq, a war based on lies about weapons of mass destruction.'

Why has an intelligent and articulate woman wearing a mask and speaking at the UN provoked an aggressive response from some media outlets? Because her mask and her words have profoundly perturbed people at a deeply subconscious level. The nature of that perturbation is fear.

The United States Secretary of Defense (aka, Major Pete) is either (a) openly celebrating Nazis and planning to destroy the US government from within or (b) a punk-assed internet troll trying to look tough to offset his gross deficiencies. Neither is good.

The NFL says "Football is America" and a lot of people in Ireland are not feeling the authoritarian shitshow that is this country or the arming of Israel's genocidal war that stains this country. Or that both team owners coming over underwrite both of these trends. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I feel like it is in fact incumbent on us to talk about what it signifies when a large group of people are deliberately imprisoned by a government en masse despite being known to have committed no crime on the basis of their demographics.

During his address to #UNGA80, which many diplomats boycotted, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said the war on Gaza is ‘not done yet’. Israel’s genocide has killed at least 65,500 Palestinians.

Paramjit Singh is going blind in ICE detention. DHS wants to deport him for a forgery conviction — but they’ve produced no record that one exists.

Three women were burned, one critically injured, while attempting to prepare food at a banquet table Wednesday night during a Navy Pier rooftop event.

The city of Portland passed the nation’s first CEO pay-ratio tax in 2016. Nearly a decade later, it’s raised millions and inspired similar efforts. Could a “maximum wage” help curb billionaire power nationwide?

What could one bad Chicago cop cost the taxpayers, Michael? $1M plus his salary, overtime, benefits, retirement plan, a car, guns & everything he can fit in his pockets out of the evidence room over the last 6 years straight?

Has there been any explanation for why they are not making public the identity of the man who ambushed police in York, PA, killing 3 and wounding 2?

Brian Allen 🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Thomas Massie just EXPOSED a hidden Epstein list and called out Kash Patel for lying to the American people. Massie says the FBI is sitting on files that name 20 other men tied to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation; including a high-profile government official.

NEW: Per multiple sources, NIH staff have been told that "DOJ has advised" that they "should NOT" attend the American Public Health Association annual meeting, which is taking place in far-off, uh, Washington DC November 2-5.

Thomas Massie: Tonight, Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC. Let me get this straight: Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds? Release the Epstein files.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting that fascism is definitionally meant to describe government by socio-psychopaths, just that almost all historical cases of it amounted to that. Trump II is obviously also a kakistocracy (govt by the least competent). But I'm thinking of "the cruelty is the point."

There were a lot of great speeches and performances at #TogetherforPalestine last night, but no one fired up the crowd like @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

The total Gaza death toll from Israel’s genocide by April this year would be a staggering 680,000 deaths and much higher now, after five more months of mass murder and starvation.

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America? Why not acknowledge and confront it? Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files? Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer? These problems won't go away.

The problem is not the kids. It’s cuts to funding to support the needs of the kids. Community mental health. EAs. Special education and ESL teachers. OT. PT. CYW. Classroom teachers are not therapists or specialists. Inclusion without support is abandonment. #OntEd

Charlie Kirk, White Supremacist, Dead at 31 racism.org/articles/def...

Trump says he would have had flags lowered to half-staff for Melissa and Mark Hortman had Tim Walz asked him to, but in June he told Kaitlan Collins that it would be a waste of time to speak with Tim Walz.

“.. The day after Hortman’s killing, when Trump was asked if he had called Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, he said, ‘I could be nice and call, but why waste time?’” @msnbc.com www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Trump now: if the Governor of Minnesota had asked me to do that, I would have done that. Trump then: it would a waste of time to talk to the Governor of Minnesota about the shootings.
