Don’t become numb to these atrocities - there are not separate kinds of human beings - what is done to one is done to all .
Israel has claimed responsibility for bombing a wedding celebration in Gaza City yesterday that killed 7 people from two families, including a 4-month-old baby. Israel offered no explanation for violating the ceasefire, but acknowledged that “uninvolved civilians” were killed.

Any list that includes Field Of Dreams is immediately disqualified as a "baseball movie." A "baseball movie" at least would have Joe Jackson batting from the correct side of the plate, as DB Sweeney did in Eight Men Out.

Elon Musk has decided the cheapest way to get what he wants is to simply buy a Senator. And there's no one more corrupt — or more willing to be bought — than Ken Paxton. nytimes.com/2026/10/16/us/po…

Images you won't see in the media. Judging a protest by its most violent protestors but not judging a police by its most violent cops is the language of the oppressr. Stand with the French people 🇫🇷

If one billionaire can slow down the internet for an entire country, shut down Starlink during crises, turn off your car and your wifi, and censoring voices online, that billionaire has way too much power, with no capability of accountability. The definition of power, unchecked.

Professor Marandi didn’t mince words when he laid out the reality of who holds power in Israel: "You're from eastern Europe. You're European. All of you are Ashkenazi Jews who are running the country, they're from eastern Europe." He was right. The people who built the modern state, staffed its early institutions, and still dominate its political, military, and cultural elites are overwhelmingly Ashkenazi Jews whose families came from Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Czechoslovakia, and the rest of Eastern Europe. They are European. They are not indigenous to Palestine. They arrived, displaced the native Palestinian population, and established a state that continues to be run by the same Eastern European networks. Marandi simply said out loud what the historical record shows. The early Zionist leadership, the founders of the state, and the continuing power structure all trace back to Eastern Europe. Pretending otherwise is a deliberate rewrite of history.

“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.” — George Orwell, 1984 Defense contractors & their powerful lobby will never be satisfied with simply aiding the U.S. in building a strong military that is prepared for war. The nature of the industry’s existence is not patriotism, but endless conflict. War is their business model—a perpetual state of war ensures a perpetual demand for their products. Until we address this issue, we will continue to be subjected to forever wars that only serve the defense contractors—and the warmongering interests wealthy enough to rent the defense contractors. Stop spilling American blood for profit.
Asked about the Iran War's effect on defense stocks, Lockheed Martin CEO says: "Investors need to know and understand that this demand is not fleeting — it's permanent."

I could not put this book down; I consumed it in two sittings. @mahmoudkhalel’s writing is gripping and direct. It shines with truth and wisdom even as it describes incredible hypocrisy and darkness. Read it.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Spain protest in support of Palestine.
Community note
This video does not come from Spain. It was recorded in Istanbul in Turkey, which can be seen because of all the Turkish flags and it was recorded in October 2023.x.com/Timesofgaza/st…

This had been obvious since he scammed his first gov subsidy
We speak with the Academy Award-winning director Alex Gibney about his new documentary Musk, an expansive, nearly four-hour examination of the world’s first trillionaire and how he has amassed unprecedented power in business, technology and politics. Gibney says Musk has carefully crafted an image of a “polymath” who can solve the world’s most pressing problems, but that he is really “kind of a ruthless businessman” willing to do whatever it takes to succeed, including “a series of elaborate cons” to win government support for his companies. democracynow.org/2026/10/13/…
