En la COMUNIDAD DE MADRID, la tierra de la LIBERTAD, hoy han suspendido el festival de @eldiarioes
Si se hubiese llamado “Festival de las cañas bien tiradas”, seguramente
no hubiese pasado. Pero se llama Festival de las Ideas y la Cultura. A quién se le ocurre…
Last night was a catastrophic night for AIPAC. Let’s count the bodies.
NY-10: Dan Goldman — Levi Strauss heir, $253M net worth, $377K+ in AIPAC donations, backed by Gov. Hochul AND House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — lost to Brad Lander 66% to 34%. Called by NY1 less than 10 minutes after polls closed. Lander took zero AIPAC money, called Gaza a genocide, and won with 11,000+ grassroots donors. Goldman said at their June 1 debate: “Israel is not the most important issue in this district.” Voters disagreed. By 32 points.
NY-13: Five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat — chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — fell to 32-year-old public defender Darializa Avila Chevalier 49% to 45%. AIPAC and its allied super PACs funneled nearly $3 million through shell PAC BOLD America to defend Espaillat. Voters in East Harlem said the AIPAC money was their breaking point. One voter told reporters it was “the last straw.” Espaillat had taken over $676,000 from AIPAC over his career. Didn’t matter.
Maryland-5: The one asterisk — Adrian Boafo won Steny Hoyer’s open seat with heavy AIPAC and crypto PAC money behind him. His own rivals publicly demanded he reject it. Three candidates jointly called out the outside spending and asked Gov. Wes Moore and Sen. Alsobrooks to disavow it. Boafo won — but the backlash was loud enough that it became a campaign issue in a race with no incumbent to unseat. Worth watching in November.
Lander said it plainly in his victory speech: “People want Democrats who won’t take money from Wall Street and crypto and AIPAC, who stand up to corruption.”
A voter in East Harlem put it even simpler: “As much as I support Israel, I don’t think we should be paying for them.”
Seven Democratic incumbents lost primaries in New York last night. Mamdani went 3 for 3 on his congressional endorsements. AIPAC spent millions and walked away with two congressional seats in the trash.
The playbook is failing. Voters are done.

✅ Fun Fact Time with Alex Karp:
-Alex Karp is lifelong bachelor and once said that the idea of raising a family gives him "hives."
-Alex Karp is big on personal privacy, reportedly lives in seclusion and doesn't own a cell phone.
-Each of Karp's office windows reportedly have "acoustic devices that vibrate the glass with white noise to block laser eavesdropping."
-He even owns a $46M "Billionaire Bunker" in Indian Creek, Miami complete with it's own private police and guarded bridge.
And you thought he couldn't get any weirder... right?
Nunca os pido nada pero hoy por favor os pido RT, llevamos meses con esta situación en casa y @Allianz_es se niega a reparar los daños producidos por un cliente suyo, tenemos que limpiar el moho a menudo, el suelo tenemos que saltarlo y eso con una niña de 3 años, no es justo
They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.
They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.
Mona spent her years defending the most vulnerable creatures of the Mediterranean, teaching generations that every life matters, that nature is not a casualty to be discarded, and that humanity has a duty to protect what cannot protect itself.
Yet the same orange house that stood as a beacon of conservation became a target for terrorist Israel.
This was an assault on a woman whose life's work was devoted to safeguarding life itself. A woman known internationally for her environmental activism, whose name had become synonymous with the protection of Lebanon's coastline and its endangered sea turtles.
The murder of Mona Khalil sends a chilling message: even those whose only weapon is compassion, whose only mission is preservation, are not spared.
Brutal settler attack in Turmus’ayya olive fields. Many injuries, including a woman knocked unconscious with a club and beaten repeatedly (2nd photo). The IDF lured us into an ambush, I have it all on video. Will upload as soon as I have good service.
Mohamed, his wife Sahad, and their three young daughters were killed in an Israeli strike on the southern Lebanese town of Harouf on Thursday morning.
The family is among at least nine people reported killed in the attack on Harouf, one of several deadly Israeli strikes across the Nabatieh area that left 47 people dead and 97 wounded.
🚨 Why I'm returning to Switzerland after my unlawful detention:
I am returning to Switzerland next week to participate in hearings related to criminal complaints I have filed in connection with my unlawful detention in Zurich in January 2025.
In February this year, Switzerland’s Federal Administrative Court ruled that the January 2025 entry ban and expulsion order against me were issued despite there being no evidence that my speech violated Swiss law or that I posed any threat to Switzerland.
The court found serious violations of my procedural rights, ordered Fedpol, the Swiss national police agency, to make a substantial contribution to my legal costs and refunded my court fees.
I can now also confirm that in March and April, Fedpol issued decisions finding that I did not constitute a threat to the internal or external security of Switzerland when I last came to the country, thus rendering the entry ban and expulsion decisions of January 2025 unlawful.
Fedpol had previously assessed that the opinions I express do not attack democratic values or the rule of law and fall within the scope of the right to free speech under the Swiss constitution.
A Swiss parliamentary investigation previously found evidence that the entry ban and expulsion order were issued following improper political interference by Nicoletta della Valle, the top federal law enforcement official at the time.
Della Valle has close ties to Israel and has expressed outspoken pro-Israel opinions. I have separately filed a criminal complaint against her, which is still pending.
The federal court victory followed a December 2025 ruling by the Zurich Administrative Court, which confirmed that my arrest and detention violated the Swiss Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights.
Together, these unlawful actions prevented me from participating in public events organized by Swiss citizens and residents to discuss Israel’s genocide in Gaza. They amounted to a severe form of official censorship.
They violated my human rights and, in my view, the constitutional rights of Swiss citizens to freedom of assembly and to receive information.
Next week’s hearings relate to criminal complaints concerning individual conduct. They are legally distinct from the administrative proceedings that successfully challenged and overturned unlawful government actions.
Pursuant to Article 204 of the Swiss Code of Criminal Procedure, I requested and received a letter of safe passage from the prosecutor guaranteeing that I will not be arrested or subjected to restrictions on my liberty while I am in Switzerland for the hearings.
In addition, my lawyers obtained written confirmation from Swiss federal authorities that there are no restrictions on my entry into the country.
I expect Swiss authorities to fully respect my rights and to adhere strictly to the rule of law. My legal team stands ready to take all necessary steps in the event of any violation.
I believe my unlawful detention in January 2025 was intended to punish and silence me for speaking out and to discourage others from doing so. My legal action seeks to ensure transparency and deter similar abuses against anyone in the future.
During my time in Switzerland, I look forward to participating in a teach-in hosted by Watermelon University on 23 June, an event originally planned for January 2025.
My pursuit of accountability and defense of free speech is being made possible by crowdfunded public support. I’m deeply grateful to each and every person who has contributed and spoken out.
There ya have it, our “greatest ally” once again saying they don’t care about working with the United States.
America should tell them good luck and that’s it.
It’s past time to worry about our own people and our own country.
America First!
When you realize the intro of the famous song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple is the intro of Beethoven's 5th Symphony simply played backward.
Mind-blowing.
