@RachelAzzara@davidsirota The current admin takes very real action based on posts. The internet has very much so already taken its place as "real life"
AIPAC has spent $9 million in just two Illinois primaries - IL-8 and IL-9. All under shadow PAC names, none of it ever mentioning Israel. This is unlike anything that has ever happened in the history of US elections
Kharg Island isn't just a military target
It is home to a medieval Portuguese fort, religious tombs, and the ruins of one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world
It also is home to 8,000 people and flocks of wild gazelles
This is what Trump just bombed:
This is a heartbreaking attack. And it does make me fear for the world my Jewish sons will grow up in.
If a significant portion of Americans metabolize their legitimate anger towards the government of Israel into resentment against Jews as a whole, that is genuinely a more perilous set of affairs than Jews in this country have faced in generations.
Which is why it’s so dangerous that mainline Jewish organizations have spent years insisting unequivocally that “Israel” and “Jews” should, in fact, be conflated. It’s the same rhetoric Nick Fuentes uses—but it’s arguably even more dangerous when it comes from the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt.
The logic of Zionism rests heavily on the claim that Jewish safety necessitates a Jewish state. It is largely this desire—to protect our people, whom history has proven need protection—that has led so many national and local Jewish institutions to continue backing the Israeli regime, through apartheid and genocide and more. But this approach is self-defeating. Tying the honor and reputation of our people to the rogue government of an ethnostate is not making us safer. On the contrary, it’s making American Jews more vulnerable to the kind of antisemitic mass politics that we haven’t had to worry about in this country for a long time. That's what my Jewish sons have to look forward to. And it’s not going to change until our mainline Jewish institutions start owning up to the danger they’ve created for all of us and start demonstrating, through their words and deeds, that “Israel” does not, in fact, equal “the Jews.”
Just had the most intense two hours of bombardment here since Israel began its criminal war in Iran. Israeli citizens received a full demonstration of how dazed and confused our civil defense is, and I live in a well-to-do area. Just as Israel thrives on denying the humanity of its victims in Palestine, Iran and Lebanon, so do Israelis thrive on complete and utter dissociation from their own lives, on murderous solipsism. This works exactly until the second it stops working. Then it comes tumbling down like a house of cards.
We arent just witnessing a decline; we are witnessing an unravelling of the systems that make our air breathable and our soil alive. New data from the Living Planet Index confirms a terrifying reality: global wildlife populations have plummeted by 73% in just 50 years (1970–2020).
The burden of this extraction is not shared equally. The Global South is being hollowed out to fuel endless growth:
Latin America & Caribbean: -95%
Africa: -76%
Asia-Pacific: -60%
North America: -39%
Europe & Central Asia: -35%
This isnt an accident. It is a calculated result of:
1. Industrial Food Systems: Forests cleared for meat and soy.
2. Fossil Fuels: Driving a climate collapse that bleaches reefs and melts habitats.
3. Endless Extraction: Rivers choked by dams and chemicals for profit.
Every extinct species is a warning sign. Every forest cut is a wound. We, specifically our economic systems and the wealthy elite, are acting as the asteroid.
The window to change is closing fast. We must move beyond. We must BOYCOTT FOSSIL FUELS.

Spending 2.5 years crusading publicly against the very idea of international law and then posting something like this suggests something beyond normal hypocrisy. This is a mental disorder, a genuine inability to understand that both you and others are ultimately the same, and that laws and rules should be applied equally and fairly to all. They’re not just there to protect you when you want protection and to be ignored when you want to burn and flatten entire cities. How do you not get that?
This, to me, is the first real tangible signs that the US empire is beginning to collapse. If you are Saudi Arabia, the way that this war was carried out is incompatible with a stable international order. They weren't even consulted.
Incredible work by the dumbest empire ever.
An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.
Supported by Nigel Farage.
Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.
Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at https://t.co/MQvByA4atR and https://t.co/v6ghw99u1K — it takes two minutes and it matters.
The United States: The land where Michigan Judge Gregory Ross awarded custody to a convicted child rapist named Christopher Mirasolo.
Mirasolo raped and impregnated a 12-year-old child, who was then forced to carry to term. Some 8 years later, Ross awarded Mirasolo joint legal custody. This is the state of women and girls in the USA—where a man can rape and impregnate a child, then the law can force her to have the baby, and then a judge can force her to share joint custody with her rapist.
The people defending this atrocity are the ones telling us we have to invade Iran to liberate its women and given them the same rights as American women. Incredible.
@Phil_Lewis_ “Total Negro Death!” Gonzalez wrote in one message… & discussed “colored professors…I refuse [sic] to be indoctrinated by the coloreds,” he wrote.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students
Within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people" https://t.co/ZZhPSI7RDE
Jared Moskowitz won’t say it because DeSantis helped make his political career, but Ron DeSantis is the most openly anti-Black racist governor in the United States, and this disgusting white supremacist ideology is downstream of Republican Party leaders like him and Donald Trump.
🚨 NEW: U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth says war with Iran could last up to 8 weeks, saying U.S. and Israel expect to achieve “uncontested airspace” over the country “in under a week” and unleash “death and destruction from the sky all day long.”
“You can say four weeks, but it could be six, it could be eight, it could be three,” Hegseth said. “Ultimately, we set the pace and the tempo.”
