it really shouldnt need to be emphasized that he is a Holocaust survivor but their ridiculous insistence on framing all thing pro-P_lest!ne as anti -s_mit_c has elevated the context

I had some thoughts on AOC endorsing Hakeem Jeffries and how it reveals a deeper issue about politicians and organizations posing as “socialists” only to rehabilitate the capitalist and imperialist Democratic party.

It's wild that the term "Free World" emerged in Western discourse in the 1940s, at a time when the Western European powers exercised authoritarian control over the colonised territories and the US was an apartheid regime with institutionalised racial segregation.

@jasonhickel Why doesn't this article show when I go directly to your Substack?

The US and EU are sitting on over $30 billion of Venezuela’s own frozen assets while its people are buried under rubble. Sending aid is not enough. Lift every sanction now. Those same sanctions have for years blocked the heavy equipment needed to dig people out.

True socialism is about putting the economy directly in the hands of the people and will never be won by voting for a capitalist and imperialist “Democratic” party. It can only be won by organizing our workplaces and communities for a working-class revolution.

[Manolo De Los Santos @manolo_realengo]

The US has seized $5.49 billion of Venezuela’s oil revenue in 2026, then offers just $150 million in earthquake aid while the UN estimates $6.7 billion in losses. It’s not relief, it’s extortion. At the same time, US has $30 billion of frozen assets while people are under rubble.

Oh those people are terrorists, you say? What terrorist things are they doing? Oh, they're killing military forces who are invading their country? Okay.

Oh and those other people are terrorists, you say? What did they do? Oh, they broke into a weapons factory and destroyed military equipment intended for use in an active genocide? Okay.

Oh and those other people over there are terrorists also? What evil terrorist crimes are they guilty of? Oh, they held pieces of cardboard with the words "I Support Palestine Action" on them? Okay.

Maybe I just don't understand what terrorism is, then.

Israel is like “we are ethnic cleansing you to destroy the resistance group that formed to keep us from ethnic cleansing you.”

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

It's just bananas how the hasbara machine keeps trying to spin Lebanese people firing upon hostile invaders inside Lebanon as some kind of unwarranted act of aggression.

After the 2024 "ceasefire", Israel attacked Lebanon on a daily basis; this happened for months on end without a single Hezbollah response. The mass-scale murdering resumed after Hezbollah fired a few rockets when the US and Israel launched the war on Iran, following month after month after month of daily IDF attacks on southern Lebanon.

Hasbarists keep trying to frame this as Israel going in to protect itself from unprovoked attacks by "terrorists", but the violence has been unbelievably one-sided by Israeli forces, with Hezbollah exhibiting remarkable restraint.

Israel is very clearly and undeniably the aggressor here, and it's absolutely hilarious that we're being asked to view them as innocent little victims when they're attacked by Lebanese men in Lebanon during an active military invasion.

This is bone chilling. Unless there is a cultural movement to re-sensitize our society to basic values of liberty, freedom from repression of all kinds, human flourishing, equality of all people, and the need to care for one another, we will walk off a civilizational cliff. An opposition party that routinely accepts the premises of this corrupt violence will hold our hands as we fall.

Clara Mattei brilliantly debunks a century of capitalist propaganda by explaining how capitalism is unnatural, has existed for only 0.1% of human history, took control of the world through violence, and is maintained by coercion and the superficial facade of liberal democracy.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

So if you apply this logic to the 4,000 citizens of Lebanon that Israel has killed in their invasion, you’d have to ask how the US would react to an invading force killing 235,000 Americans, many of them women and children.

You really don’t want to do this calculation for Gaza.

I just wanted to update my resume. Instead, I accidentally proved how a multi-billion-dollar AI tool hallucinates a glass ceiling for women.

I changed a single variable: My name.

Here is what happened when "Jennifer" became "Jeff."

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Some of the liberals complaining that I should focus more on the right-wingers in my book and in the below comments are missing a crucial point: different propaganda is directed at different audiences. Some of the most effective propaganda geared at well-meaning people is not overtly right wing. What makes Ezra Klein an effective (and very well paid) propagandist is that his role is laser focused on getting liberal and progressive people steered away from the deeper changes that would make society much more equal and less repressive.

[Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges]

Thiago Ávila says that the message the genocide in Gaza has sent to the Global South is that "nobody is safe." The Zionists and their imperialist allies in the West will cross all lines in order to secure their objectives and oppress the people who resist their hegemony.

[Nada Maucourant Atallah @MaucourantNada]

Very sad to learn that Mona Khalil died after weeks in the ICU following an Israeli strike that levelled her home in Mansouri. She was a very well-known environmental activist and dedicated her life to saving endangered turtles. She stayed in the south despite Israeli strikes because of her love for the land.

She was a civilian, a renowned figure but Israel targeted her house.

CNN profiled her in 2017 here: https://t.co/ZaMRnuS4zf

“I live every day to the fullest and don’t worry about tomorrow,” she told the newspaper.
