Axios claims Trump called Netanyahu today, told him to stand down in Lebanon, and cursed him out:

“You’re f*cking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel.”

File this under things that never happened.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Anyone who thinks Trump actually stood up to Netanyahu like this is an easy mark. This story was planted to do damage control for Trump’s historically low approval rating and inability to end a war he should’ve never started. We all know Netanyahu, not Trump, is running the show.

The President of Ireland, Catherine Connolly, has declared that Israel is a terrorist state. You won’t find this kind of courage anywhere in the Zionist-ruled US and UK governments.

[Dr. Jill Stein🌻 @DrJillStein]

Israel destroying the foundations of humanity, literally & figuratively.
As the world unifies in horror, we can unify to stop the madness.
Complete military, economic, diplomatic boycott of genocidal Israel now.

Two months ago I had a total of 101 million views in 28 days on Facebook. Last night 270 people voted on the @MoatsTV Poll. 27,000 people voted on YouTube. @elonmusk is engaged in wholesale systematic suppression and censorship of my work.

[Fiorella Isabel @FiorellaIsabelM]

Media recycles this BS “feud” between Netanyahu & Trump every few months:

The US isn’t drifting away from Israel, it is fusing with it. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying. They’re merging all AI, defense and surveillance tech. Everything else is theater.

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

like clockwork we have another Mossad asset Barak Ravid "OMG TRUMP YELLED AT NETANYAHU AND ACTUALLY HATES HIM OMG ISRAEL AND THE US ARE TOTALLY SEPARATE AND THE US IS RESTRAINING THEM, IRAN MUST SIGN A DEAL NOW IMMEDIATELY OMG OMG OMG" hasbara piece. He's been churning out this bullshit for almost 3 years straight now, "OMG BIDEN IS TURNING ON NETANYAHU, OMG OMG"

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Barak Ravid has made a whole career out of these articles telling Americans they don't need to worry about the latest horrifying war because the president is taking care of it. Some Ravid headlines from the Biden administration:

Biden “running out” of patience with Bibi as Gaza war hits 100 days

Scoop: Biden in “frustrating” call told Bibi to solve Palestinian tax revenue issue

Biden’s ultimatum to Bibi: Change Gaza policy or we will

White House temperature is “very high” ahead of Biden-Bibi call

“We won’t support you”: Inside Biden’s ultimatum to Bibi

Israel and U.S. deeply divided in meeting on key Rafah operation issues

Biden and Bibi “red lines” for Rafah put them on a collision course

Biden-Bibi clash escalates as U.S. accused of undermining Israeli government

Biden and Netanyahu hold first call in a month amid public split

Biden breaks with Netanyahu but sticks with Israel

Biden on hot mic: Told Bibi we needed “come to Jesus” meeting on Gaza

Israeli minister lambasted at White House about Gaza and war strategy

Scoop: Biden tells Bibi he’s not in it for a year of war in Gaza

Blinken unloads on Bibi: “You need a coherent plan” or face disaster in Gaza

Scoop: White House cancels meeting, scolds Netanyahu in protest over video

Netanyahu irked by “critical” Harris comments

The Israelization of our societies is already happening: posturing democracies where human rights can be suspended for people that those in power consider a disturbance.
Wake up Brits. Italians. Germans. French. North Americans. Dutch.

[George Galloway @georgegalloway]

This was an act of War carried out by France with UK assistance. No “international sanctions” authorised it. Only the UNSC can apply international sanctions. Neither France nor UK are in ANY position to make war upon Russia. Unless Nuclear War, at which point France and the UK would cease to exist. Literally. You are pathetic fools gambling on no Russian response to your criminal acts. Perhaps you should think again about that.

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

I am endorsing @ButchWare for Governor of California!

Butch Ware is running independent from the Democratic and Republican parties as a Green Party candidate. He is calling for a universal, single-payer healthcare system, CalCare, free at the point of use for every Californian. His campaign is also fighting for free public higher education in the state and canceling state-held student debt. 

Butch Ware is demanding that ICE detention centers on state contracts be closed, all state cooperation with ICE be ended, and that all residents be given access to social programs regardless of immigration or citizenship status. He is calling for a statewide $25/hour minimum wage and for a publicly owned energy grid built by unionized public-sector workers. Butch is calling for California's $800 billion+ in public pension funds to be divested from weapons manufacturers and corporations tied to war crimes.

The billionaire class and California’s Democratic Party, which absolutely dominates the state’s political machinery, are threatened by these demands. They have gone to shocking lengths, including removing him from the ballot entirely. 

I urge California’s working people to write in Butch Ware on the ballot.

Shockingly, far from supporting Butch Ware, the overwhelming majority of labor leaders have endorsed billionaire Tom Steyer for Governor. These include the leaders of California Nurses Association, California Teachers Association, California Federation of Teachers, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) 3299, UNITE HERE, and the California AFL-CIO.

The leadership of the California Democratic Socialists of America formally issued a “No Endorsement” recommendation in their 2026 Primary Voter Guide, but shamefully they have all but endorsed Steyer by claiming that “Tom Steyer is somehow running the most progressive campaign,” and that “the most progressive of the current viable candidates for governor is Tom Steyer.”

[Dr. Jill Stein🌻 @DrJillStein]

Don't be fooled by fake-progressives trying to sheep dog you back into the billionaire-funded Dem Party. Shame on unions & DSA for playing along.
Both parties are hitting rock bottom.
This is the time to fight back.
Vote for @ButchWare like your life depends on it.
Cuz it does.

@VeraGavrilovna @ProudSocialist Both Stein and de la Cruz were on the 2024 presidential ballot. Fact.

And even if they hadn't been, people continue to support, reward and vote for the parties that put up those (very real) barriers.

[Jos Backus @JosBackus]

@VeraGavrilovna @ProudSocialist Provably false. People could have voted for a third party to send a message, or not voted for genocide. Nobody forced them to vote for Trump or Harris.

But I understand that they are unwilling to accept that, and that it's one of the core reasons US decline is inevitable.
