Time for a change in strategy. We should consider slow walking the enemy, building up our munitions, our oil reserves, get the price of gasoline down, get through the midterms, then knock them out. Instead of rushing to a deal, building up their oil industry, transferring billions to them, etc .
With Janeese Lewis George significantly leading, but not yet called, in the Washington DC mayoral primary, that's four of the largest American cities either governed by or actively contesting a Democratic Socialist and/or DSA endorsed mayor in the last year:
- NYC (Mamdani)

- LA (Raman; final election TBD)
- D.C. (JLG)
🎥 Jeremy Scahill told Breaking Points that Israeli anger over the reported U.S.-Iran agreement is not confined to Netanyahu’s far-right allies, but reflects a broader consensus inside Israel’s political class to continue the war in Lebanon.
Scahill said Iranian officials and analysts believe another war with Israel is likely, and that Lebanon remains the key test of whether the emerging US-Iran deal holds.
“The massive question looming over this,” Scahill said, is whether Iran will refuse nuclear negotiations unless Israel’s “scorched-earth bombing or siege of Lebanon stops.”

Another instance of ICE releasing vulnerable detainees in the middle of nowhere, in freezing weather, killing them. They did the same to Nurul Amin Shah Alam, who was legally blind.

it's notable to me that the administration tried to frame tonight's UFC event as a "gift to Americans" but you can't watch it unless you have a paid subscription to Paramount+

I have fought the neocons and warmongers in Washington for more than 25 years. Throughout, they have tried to silence, discredit, slander, and cancel me. Only recently, however, have they tried to deport me.
At least, that appears to have been the aim of a hit piece in Bari Weiss’s The Free Press, which claimed that Marco Rubio’s State Department was “investigating” me for allegedly seeking to “undermine the U.S.”—presumably because of my opposition to war with Iran.
Yet just hours later, the State Department issued a statement to reporters clarifying that “the State Department has no plans to revoke the green card of Mr. Parsi at this time.” Nor did it provide any confirmation for the central premise of the Free Press story—that an investigation of me existed in the first place.
So here’s what I think happened.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries
