If US hegemony is in decline because its economy is contracting, and that contraction follows from an absence of promising investment opportunities for elites, then forcing open the door to oil-rich countries where sanctions (1/2)

One of the many gross things about the smear campaign against Cea Weaver is that it has almost entirely ignored her actual ideas for how to make housing more affordable in NYC — here's a good place to start for anybody interested

Those who survived the genocide in Gaza are at the beginning of a long road to rebuilding their homes and their lives. Fadi and his family are among those survivors — please give as you are able https://t.co/y51iTSxp5k

This is your daily reminder that Zionism is and always has been a project of extermination. There is no liberal version.

[James Rosen-Birch ⚖️🕊️ @provisionalidea]

it’s amazing that 500,000 Israelis live illegally in the West Bank (720k w East Jerusalem), and the idea of relocating them to Israel in line with the law is considered impossible and verboten to discuss

but forcibly moving 2 million Gazans to other countries? That’s a WSJ oped.

The lexicon of empire has always been fluent in sanitizing crimes—just read how The New York Times or The Financial Times discuss the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. They speak of “resettlement” or "relocation", a term weighted with the smug benevolence of bureaucracy as if the question at hand were merely a logistical problem to be smoothed out. The Palestinian is reduced to a moving part, a negotiable presence, a misplaced comma in the grand imperial manuscript.

anyone know who is actually making big decisions about US foreign policy these days since Biden obviously isn’t?

@BChinME thanks for all your help thinking it through with me, Ben!

Israel will destroy itself and the entire edifice of a post-WWII global order. Our duty beyond survival is to be prepared with a far, far optimal alternative. The sources of this demise are unfit to tell us what that is.

The Squad was elected on a hope for political revolution—but it was missing a standing army.

You voted both to defund the UNRWA camp that was bombed and to send over the bombs themselves so you may as well just own it. You did this
