BREAKING | Israel strikes the southern suburb of Beirut, Dahiye.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

BREAKING:

Iran is striking Israel after Israel attacked civilian areas in Beirut, Lebanon’s capital, earlier today.

Not out of nowhere.
Not without warning.

Iran warned that an attack on Beirut would trigger a response.

Israel bombed Beirut anyway

Now that response has begun

When they say "democracy" they mean a specific thing.

They mean: elections in which the outcome does not threaten the existing distribution of property and the existing terms on which foreign capital accesses domestic resources.

That kind of "democracy" is promoted. Defended. Supported with funding and observation missions and strongly worded statements when it is threatened.

A democracy that produces an Allende is not that kind of democracy.

An election that produces a Mosaddegh is not that kind of election.

A movement that produces a Lumumba is not that kind of movement.

The word "democracy" is doing the same work as the word "communist" in reverse.

"Communist" names what must be destroyed.

"Democracy" names what must be protected.

Both words, in operational American foreign policy usage, have the same referent underneath:

The arrangement in which Western capital can access the resources it needs on the terms it requires.

Governments that maintain that arrangement are "democratic."

Governments that threaten it are "communist."

The words are not descriptions.

They are assignments.

Albanians are fighting harder against their land being stolen to build Epstein Island 2 than Americans ever fought against our CEOs, politicians, and presidents being in the Epstein files and raping children.

What Albanians are doing is extraordinary. Time for us to do the same!

One day after Joseph Aoun’s interview with Amanpour, in which he claimed it was Iran - not Israel - which was imposing war on Lebanon, Israel reveals the truth

These Lebanese army commanders were supposed to implement the imaginary ceasefire

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel is shooting babies and carrying out pogroms in the occupied West Bank, bombing Lebanon and Gaza, and that’s just one day.

A rogue, genocidal state is on a killing spree and the only people being punished are the ones asking why their tax dollars are being used to fund it.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty.

So of course the @NYTimes finds some reason to attack her.

They hate her because she shows what can be done.

The U.S. government spent $919 billion on defense in 2025.

It spent $16.5 billion on affordable housing.

The ratio is 56 to 1.

For every dollar spent ensuring that Americans have a place to sleep that is safe, warm, and within their means, $56 went to the machinery of projecting force onto other countries.

Other countries that, in many cases, spend a fraction of what America spends on defense and somehow also manage to house their people.

Finland spent $8 billion on defense in 2025 and has reduced long-term homelessness to levels the United States cannot imagine.

Japan spent $70 billion, nearly nine times more than Finland, with nuclear-armed neighbors on three sides, and still reduced its homeless population by 90 percent over two decades, to fewer than 2,600 people in a nation of 125 million.

The United States spent thirteen times more on defense than Japan and counted nearly 750,000 people without shelter on a single night.

This is not because Finland and Japan have better values or more compassionate politicians or more evolved civilizations.

It is because they decided that housing their people was a priority, and funded the decision.

Priority is not a feeling.

It is a budget line.

Read the budget.

The priorities are right there.

They have always been right there.
