Zionist history purposely erases the stories of the Bund and of anti-Zionist Jews of many lineages, trying to make Judaism synonymous with the state of Israel. And they silence and punish those who challenge this narrative.
But across the world and across history anti-Zionist Jews have always risen up against genocide, apartheid, and Jewish supremacy. We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors and continue their struggle.
Prior to the establishment of the state of Israel, our ancestors warned that a Jewish ethnostate would dangerously undermine freedom and democracy.
Henryk Erlich (1882-1942) was one of many of our ancestors in the Jewish Labor Bund who opposed Zionism. Instead of creating a Jewish supremacist state in Palestine, the Bundists fought antisemitism, capitalism, and tyranny in the places they called home. Even in the darkest hours, Bundists courageously advocated solidarity. They built coalitions with their neighbors, other socialists of Eastern Europe, and struggled for liberation of working people. 🧵
🚨This short film exposes the true story of Israel's creation, entirely through the words of its own founders
For decades, Israel’s lies have been carefully designed to demonize its victims. To ensure that no matter the crimes it commits, the children it slaughters, the world remains incapable of empathy for Palestinians, or at best, treats it with the same apathy that has allowed this to go on for as long as it has
On the 78th anniversary of its creation, it's time the world knew that Israel's past is not different from the brutal present the world is finally seeing
Norway just made a decision that will be remembered for years.
The country has officially ended fur farming nationwide. No more mink or foxes will be bred, kept in cages, and killed for clothing. An industry built on animal suffering is now gone.
This took years. Investigations exposed what life in fur farms looked like. Animals lived in small wire cages. They could not run, dig, or behave naturally. Many showed clear signs of stress. People saw the reality and spoke up.
Public pressure grew. Animal welfare groups kept pushing. More citizens questioned whether fashion could justify that cruelty. Lawmakers responded and passed a ban. Farmers received time to transition and shut down their operations. That process is now complete.
This matters. Thousands of animals will not be born into cages. Fewer lives will be treated like products. Norway chose compassion over tradition and profit.
The impact also reaches beyond Norway. Decisions like this show other countries that change is possible. They push others to look at their own systems and ask if they still make sense.
Consumers are driving this shift too. More people choose alternatives. More brands stop using fur. Demand is changing, and industries are forced to follow.
This is what progress looks like. It builds over time through awareness, pressure, and action. Then one day, what once seemed normal is no longer accepted.
Norway has drawn that line.

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.
Happiness is a handful of #HeroRATs.
The first step to becoming a HeroRAT is taken when pups begin their #socialization. APOPO handlers gently carry them around, introducing them to sights, smells, and sounds in their training environment.

Even heroes need a Sunday to rest and recharge before getting back to work detecting landmines and TB.
Wishing you a restful and cozy Sunday.

Having just seen long lines for cooking gas cylinders on the streets of cities in India — one of many bystanders to the conflict whose population has been seriously impacted—I’m struck yet again by how relatively insulated the U.S. is from the wars it unleashes
🚨🚨 BREAKING
Spanish Minister of Transport responds to Netanyahu who is asking for Europe's help:
"We will never come near you, you genocide-obsessed criminal. Understand this well."
He took the greatest military force in world history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, and demanded that the media lie about this and everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone can mistake this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.
