An oligarch-funded think tank is trying to undermine Medicare for All even before Democrats regain power.

Candidates like Graham Platner and Abdul El-Sayed are rejecting the ploy. https://t.co/NXm9Rik1Ls

When the US sanctioned me for exposing corporate complicity, I trusted people would act. If after nearly a year @bookingcom & @Airbnb still profit from stolen Palestinian property, it’s because too many still use them.

Stop using them now & tell them why.

And how they cringed, how outraged they were at this picture of Assad’s daughter in matching Dior sneakers worth $850, during the Lira’s collapse. “Sanctions now! This rotten regime’s gotta go!” Aaand one order of magnitude later, 1 USD = 13,000 SYP, having literally made it x10 worse with the sanctions they advocated for, and a few sectarian massacres later, their beloved self-appointed president walks into a basketball game in $2,110 Zegna Triple Stitch sneakers.

⭕️ NEW: Instagram Removes Comra Wire With No Appeal

Comra Wire, a left-wing alternative media outlet that maintains reporters and sources in Palestine, Lebanon, China, and Cuba, said Instagram removed its page of nearly 150,000 followers with no mechanism to contest the takedown.

The outlet said tens of millions of monthly viewers have been cut off, and described the removal as part of “an escalating pattern of information warfare by big tech monopolies, deeply intertwined with the ruling elite” — and a broader rise in censorship of alternative media directed from Washington and Brussels.

The takedown comes amid documented widening of social media censorship tied to coverage of Gaza and the Iran war. Comra Wire is directing followers to its Telegram channel @ comrawire.

Under international law leaders who have aided and assisted the commission of internationally wrongful acts that amount to international crimes should be investigated and prosecuted.

Iran’s position is that it has offered a reasonable path forward to end the war & says it remains open to negotiations with the U.S. But it says it will not accept ultimatums. If a deal happens imminently or in the near future, Iran says it will be because its bottom lines are met.

Last night Israel deliberately killed at least 3 journalists and also struck a van of 5 medics, killing them all. This comes as their forces are getting ambushed by Hezbollah semi-regularly on the ground.

Killing medics and journalists from the air is safer and likely connected to the battlefield losses.

Depraved, cowardly, maniacal, and a threat to civilization.

Currently in Syria - in the town of Suqaylabiyah (Hama) - mobs of Syrians are attacking Christian properties and civilians.

The Syrian Government under Jolani continues on its strategy of sending signals of tolerating Kurds to the international community - while the STG fanatics are hunting down Kurds across northern Syria.

💢 Israel has destroyed the Qasmiyeh Bridge, a key coastal crossing north of Tyre that serves as a main link between southern Lebanon and Beirut, effectively cutting off large parts of the south from the rest of the country.

As I said, this is not some spontaneous or reactionary action. It’s systematic - and its entire scheme can be seen now:

Syrian armed forces have gathered and mobilised south of Qamishlo at Tal Braak.

💢 Fire destroys Czech facility tied to Elbit drone partnership as new direct action group claims responsibility

A group calling itself the “Earthquake Faction” has set fire to a facility in Pardubice, Czech Republic, where Czech firm LPP Holding and Israeli weapons maker Elbit Systems were working to build a “Centre of Excellence” for drones and unmanned systems.

➤ In a statement, the group describing itself as an “internationalist underground network,” said it targeted the facility because it develops weapons used “to massacre people daily in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and across West Asia.”

➤ The site was reportedly empty and no one was harmed. Photos show a large industrial building engulfed in flames, with Czech authorities investigating the incident as suspected arson.

➤ The group signaled further action, saying it aims to “destroy all limbs of empire from within, by any means effective,” targeting infrastructure linked to Israel.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba

I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film

As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes

It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.

But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

Eid Mubarak, especially to those under genocidal occupation and apartheid. To those under the fire of aggressors, and to those under the fire of those who retaliate.
Nothing justifies harming civilians: subjecting children to violence places us outside the bounds of civilization.
