Countdown starts now for the next time conservatives observe a capitalist entity in a capitalist system doing capitalist things for capitalist reasons and concluding that the problem is “communism” …

13 Democrats in Congress signed onto a pledge to “reject socialism” today. Combined, they’ve raked in a whopping $10,088,996 from the Israel lobby. Nothing moderate about that. Should we tally up their Big Tech donations next?

A “promise to America” to oppose literally every single policy the people want

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

This is an important moment to see how empty and manipulative the term "terrorist" is, despite how central it has become in our law, foreign policy, wars and political discourse. The word has never had any real fixed meaning.

But in the hands of Israel, it gets applied even to the targeting of soldiers with invading armies. Hezbollah kills armed IDF soldiers occupying Lebanese land -- not civilians, but soldiers -- and that's "terrorism."

Same with the West Bank: a 14-year-old Palestinian kid throws a rock at an armed IDF soldier illegally occupying their land and that gets called "terrorism."

The term "terrorism" has no meaning other than: those who fight against Israel.

Name a better take than this on the Iran war, I’ll wait.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.

On top of that, Israel now wants to retaliate for its soldiers being killed while invading their neighbor.

This is pure madness. Just leave Lebanon.

People who say "Zionism is just the belief that Jews should have a homeland" are hilarious. Zionism isn't some abstraction; we can all see its material manifestations with our own eyes. We can all see that Zionism means genocide, apartheid, and nonstop wars and abuse.

This isn't some kind of theoretical debate where we all get to have our own opinions about what Zionism is and what it entails. It's 2026, not 1890. The facts are in and the case is closed, kids. This is what Zionism is. This is the only Zionism in existence. What you see is what you get. And what you see is quantifiably one of the most evil things happening on our planet.

This should be the most viral documentary on the internet!

This is insane:
• UofM cracks down on and arrests anti-genocide student protesters
• Ann Arbor prosecutor Eli Savit declines to prosecute
• UofM recruits MI AG and Zionist lunatic Dana Nessel to personally prosecute the case—HIGHLY unusual for such low-level charges
• Nessel forced to drop all charges to preempt court finding her unable to fairly prosecute the case due to her bias against Arabs and Muslims as well as her ties to Zionist extremist groups caught attempting to influence the court
• Nessel (a Democrat!) turns to Trump DoJ and Kash Patel to bring felony conspiracy charges against the students

Israel has killed more Palestinians since agreeing to a “ceasefire” than Israeli civilians who were killed on 10/7

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.

When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.

ZIOS: it's antisemitic to say Jews control the media

ALSO ZIOS: controlling all the media is a lot of work. "Instead of trying to control the whole world," [yes, that's a direct quote], all we have to do is control AI, because people trust AI and that's where everyone is getting their information.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Most "antisemitism" in the 2020s is just Israel doing crazy evil shit, people pushing back on it, and Zionists framing the pushback as another Holocaust. Today we're doing "You're a Nazi if you think it's bad for your nation's citizens to commit war crimes in a foreign military."

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

This is an incredible admission that pro-Israel forces are going straight to the AI companies to alter the perception of reality that you see.

You can call this influence, manipulation or control, but you can’t say it’s not happening. She just told you they’re doing it.

[Marcus Stanley @MarcusMStanley]

The most shocking part of this story is that the NYT had a former AIPAC Activist of the Year (Katie Glueck) write a piece devoted to detailing unsubstantiated claims from a professional Republican activist (Lyndsey Fifield) on how a left Democratic Senate candidate who has promised to take on Israel (Platner) was a lousy boyfriend and sold it as a legit journalistic scoop.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Israel has declared 40% of Lebanon off limits to Lebanese. The Nazis had a word for this: lebensraum

An Israeli-born, Trump-appointed US attorney — who's referred to Palestinians as “animals,” called for Gaza to be wiped “off the map,” and suggested “even the children” in Gaza are terrorists — dropped charges against an Israeli tied to a biolab in Nevada.https://t.co/xyXP4Mtnlu

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Israel spent 2 years running an elaborate lobbying campaign to have Hamas added to this UN sex-abuse blacklist, making the case that the UN designation was thorough, evidence-based and widely respected, which was why it was so important for them to get Hamas added to it.

Now that Israel has been added to it, they say the whole thing is a sham.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

There was only one thing that surprised me about the Jubilee with MAGA die-hards.

It wasn't that some people scream and refuse to stop talking. It wasn't that these were mostly young people cheering and finding purpose in wars but never fighting in them. It wasn't that their politics is more of a cult of personality. All expected and found in all factions.

It was that, despite being political junkies, they had no idea about Trump's enormous corruption scandals because the corporate and independent media they consume doesn't mention it. They had no idea it existed:
