This is false bullsh*t. From everything we've seen so far, there's no evidence at all that the housing mission buildings suffered any more damage than the rest. It's just an excuse for the corporate media to demonize social housing. Expect nothing similar about high-rise buildings built by the private sector in risky areas to profit from tourism

Algeria scored in the last minute of extra time. Game over. Austria's bench clashed with Algeria's in disbelief. Why would they do that? Then FIFA found three additional extra minutes. Austria equalized. Whistle blew. Iran out. Scripted. Investigation required.

The captain of Iran’s National Team, Mehdi Taremi, calls out FIFA and the U.S.:

“This is a disaster World Cup. We can’t stay in the country and have to travel every time we play without any recovery. Now we can’t stay in Seattle and have to return to Tijuana. This is not fair.”

Progressives broke from Biden over Gaza. After wins for anti-war populism in the NYC primaries, the Democratic Party's resident neocon dupes are newly determined to prevent a similar defection over Biden's proxy war in Ukraine. They haven't faced a challenge to that since getting Congressional progressive to retract a pro-diplomacy letter in October 2022. Duss, of course, was among those to throw the letter under the bus.

Absurdly unverifiable statistic, but who's checking. They're really flooding the zone with "Russia nearing collapse" pr in this NATO influence operation. It's interesting to see who in the Acela Corridor is suggestible, and which narratives they fall for.

One of the sickest things these Zionist cretins do is still claim Rashida Tlaib had a responsibility to endorse the person promising more genocide of her people.

No, she didn’t.

US media is in jeopardy.

The proposed merger of Paramount & Warner Bros threatens to further the billionaire & Zionist monopolization of our media.

But this deal still needs approval.

“I run the protection program, I’ll protect you,” House Speaker Mike Johnson tells a room packed with members of the Epstein Class.

To say this on camera reflects way too much sense of impunity.

Chi si occupa di decolonizzazione dovrebbe studiare la Sicilia (non come ''terra di mafia'', perché la mafia é ovunque) per la sua storia di anti-mafia: di lotta per giustizia e liberta' contro un sistema di potere capace di trasformare la violenza in dominio economico e sociale.

The US has seized $5.49 billion of Venezuela’s oil revenue in 2026, then offers just $150 million in earthquake aid while the UN estimates $6.7 billion in losses. It’s not relief, it’s extortion. At the same time, US has $30 billion of frozen assets while people are under rubble.

The Times’ crusade against Mexico’s enormously popular democratic socialist government continues. This anonymously sourced article, meant to foment dissention in MORENA, was funded by Microsoft, which is currently trying to push AI data centers on Mexico.

Israelis are now making films about themselves to document how they are the real victims of the last 3 years.

They're still incinerating Palestinian families in tents and bombing apartment buildings in Lebanon, but watch this film on the criticisms they endure when cheering it:

Zeteo: “What do you feel like your relationship is to America, and what do you want America to mean?”

Claire Valdez: “I want to see representatives of the United States really grapple with the idea that the United States has played a major role in the destabilization of countries abroad...

We can’t talk about immigration without talking about economic sanctions, about war and displacement, about environmental devastation.

I want to see representatives really grapple with that long history.”

"The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is running Andre Easton, a Bronx teacher, against Torres as an independent this November. Since October, PSL has built ground-level organizing in the Bronx and found deep openness to socialist solutions, not apathy."

Today at noon, I’m hosting a mass volunteer call for everyone eager to join our campaign.

We’re taking on Ritchie Torres. We’re taking on the AIPAC machine. We’re building the socialist movement in the Bronx.

It was all “big tent” and “vote blue no matter who” until they criticized Israel and now they want a new party lol.

Okay, bye 👋🏻 😂

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Think about what it means to order the killing of your own soldiers in order to prevent them from becoming part of a prisoner exchange.

It means that Israeli officials consider it a higher priority to keep detaining Palestinian men, women, and children without charge than to release some in exchange for those soldiers.

That logic is so obviously inhumane that Israel officially ended the Hannibal Directive policy on paper, yet obviously kept it in practice, because we now have many different reports of it being implemented on October 7. And we also know that the bombing campaign was organized through 2023 and 2024 in a way that many Israeli officials understood to be highly likely to kill captives Israelis in Gaza, as +972 has exposed.

Van Jones continues to defend a genocidal state and then has the audacity to support civil rights in the US. This is the position of the establishment. Bezos didn’t give award him $100 million for nothing.
