The US Senator from Maryland Chris Van Hollen has officially become the 2nd sitting senator after Bernie Sanders to endorse Abdul El-Sayed for the Michigan primary.

This represents a break from Senate Dem leader Chuck Schumer who has backed Haley "Israel comes to me in my dreams" Stevens, a corporate-backed candidate who has benefited from nearly $10 million in June alone from an AIPAC-affiliated super PAC.

El-Sayed supports Medicare For All, and ending US weapons transfers to Israel. He also has the endorsement of the United Auto Workers, which is one of the most powerful political and lobbying organizations in the state of Michigan.

Having the support of the UAW makes El-Sayed very electable in November against a Republican.

The Michigan US Senate primary boils down to a labor-backed, anti-war, universal healthcare candidate vs. corporate-aligned, Dem leadership-backed, pro-Israel candidates who have the support of dark money.

3 judges with the International Criminal Court filed a lawsuit in a US federal court against Trump and his administration, challenging the sanctions against them and calling it a "financial death penalty."

The judges bringing the lawsuit are:
- Kimberly Prost (Canada)
- Solomy Balungi Bossa (Uganda)
- Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini-Gansou (Benin)

Trump placed sanctions on the judges over their judicial decisions regarding investigations into war crimes by Israel and the US.

The judges argue that the sanctions are extrajudicial measures meant to punish and coerce them. They say the restrictions cut them off from banking, online platforms, travel booking, and sometimes health insurance.

This should be much bigger news.

#EXCLUSIVE: "Israeli soldiers said it was 'like a game'—sitting remotely and killing children."

In a searing interview, Justice S. Muralidhar, Chairperson of the UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, discusses findings that allege the deliberate targeting of Palestinian children by Israel through bombings, sniper fire, and drones.

"We had to create a category: Wounded Child With No Surviving Family", he told India Today Global.

🚨 🇷🇺 Medvedev just said what millions across Africa and the Global South have known for generations.

Colonialism must be recognized as a crime against humanity.

Western elites still operate with the same old mindset of racial and national superiority. They dress it up as democracy, human rights, and partnerships while draining resources, installing puppets, and trapping nations in debt.

Russia is right on this. The world needs real international equality and the total end of neo-colonial practices. No more pretty words hiding the same old theft and control.

Africa has paid the highest price. It is time to name the crime, reject the double standards, and finish what our ancestors started.

Colonialism is a crime.
The fight for true sovereignty continues.

Israel mató a las hermanas gemelas, Saba y Sana, en un ataque aéreo contra su casa en Gaza

La agencia de la ONU para los refugiados palestinos UNRWA informó el lunes que casi 600 niños han sido asesinados en la Franja de Gaza desde que Israel reanudó sus bombardeos el mes pasado

[Aymeric Caron @CaronAymericoff]

Ce sont des images de Gaza, aujourd’hui.
Des images insoutenables, semblables à celles qui nous parvenaient dès octobre 2023.
Des images de bébés et d’enfants martyrisés.
Ne pensez pas que vous avez quelque chose de plus important à voir ce soir.
Regardez, et partagez. Pour que chacun sache.

Israël continue à assassiner les enfants de Gaza en toute connaissance de cause. Et ce alors même qu’un cessez le feu a été conclu et que les otages ont été rendus.
Mais oui, les otages! Dont Netanyahou n’a jamais rien eu à faire, mais qui ont servi de prétexte pour détruire Gaza et sa population….

Maintenant qu’il n’y a plus le prétexte, le génocide continue quand même. Et la France est toujours complice, par sa lâcheté et son silence.

Both the US and Cuba were founded upon settler colonialism, genocide of Indigenous peoples, and chattel slavery of abducted Africans. So why is US nationalism reactionary, while Cuban nationalism is revolutionary?

￭ Nationalism itself isn’t inherently reactionary or revolutionary — it depends on the context, whether it is an oppressor nation or an oppressed nation, whether it is in service of liberation or in service of imperialism and its national comprador class.

￭ Just like Israeli nationalism, US nationalism emerged as a settler identity built upon genocide.

￭ Martyred Palestinian revolutionary Basel Al-Araj argued that the Israeli occupation is “almost a carbon copy of America,” and the best approach to win US people over to the Palestinian cause is “to dismantle the idea of America in their minds… It is impossible to win over an American to our side without them opposing the idea of America.”

If you’re still unsure what neoliberalism is, here’s a practical example.

It also explains why ordinary people are so angry.

On Israeli national TV:

"I don't feel sorry for starving Gazans. Not for adults, not for the elderly, and not for children."

"We are the real victims. You should feel sorry for us."

"The Gazans? Let them starve to death. Why should I care about them?"

An elderly Palestinian man was found near Gaza's so-called "Yellow Line" after being released by Israeli forces. He had been tortured so severely that he could no longer remember his own name. Doctors are still trying to identify him and find his family.

[Canary @TheCanaryUK]

"A high court judge has just greenlit criminal proceedings against Rajiv Menon KC, one of the UK's most prominent human rights barristers...this unprecedented move has sent shockwaves through the legal profession and is actively terrifying junior defence lawyers."

Courts aren't just gagging defendants – now they're threatening independent lawyers with prison for reminding jurors that, when deciding on a case, they can use their conscience.

Justice Jeremy Johnson has continued with his attempt to have Rajiv Menon KC, the human rights barrister who represented one of the recently sentenced Filton 4, convicted of contempt of court.

African Corrupt Leaders and The Hands Behind Them

Over the past couple of weeks, 2 former high level government officials from Nigeria and Ghana living in the UK and US respectively, who are both subjects of high profile corruption probes in their home countries, received legal guarantees of state protection against extradition to face trial at home. Once again, we are confronted with an issue that many in the Global North love to pretend does not exist.

Africa's "fantastically corrupt" governments are always cited as the reason behind the continent's state of underdevelopment. What is deliberately omitted by the Western loudmouths who recycle this talking point and infinitum is the foundational role that their own governments play in the acquisition, transfer and warehousing of stolen African state resources, as well as the shielding and protection offered to corrupt African government officials by the same Western governments that have a lot to say about "fighting corruption in Africa."

Please stop repeating the lie that "Hamas killed 1200 people on October 7"

Repeating it over and over doesn't make it true.

First, the official number of dead is 1139. Second, and most important, we have no idea how many people Hamas killed or whom they killed.

It is now an uncontested fact—supported by video evidence, victim and eyewitness testimonies, and journalist investigations—that Israel deployed their Hannibal Directive, killing an unknown "hundreds" of Israelis.

It is a fact that ALL of those burned cars (hundreds), are the result of Israeli Apache helicopters incinerating them and everyone inside them. There were at least 28 helicopters, who had to restock their weapons and refuel at least once. Each Apache carries 16 hellfire missiles, 70 Hydra-70 rockets, and 1,200 30mm cannon rounds. And each of them emptied all their munitions on that day.

In addition to the Apaches, Israeli tanks fired onto Israeli homes, knowing their citizens were inside.

Predictably, there has been no meaningful investigation into what happened that day. Until then, it is dishonest to keep repeating this zionist lie.

It is a lie! Just like the 40 beheaded babies were a lie. Just like the mass rape was a lie. The babies in ovens. The cut off breasts.

I just shared the link to that BBC documentary because it was removed at the behest of zionists. But it too is problematic because it begins with that same lie. Pay attention, please. Lives are at stake.
