There are more than 30,000 unhoused people in the six states whose GOP governors are voluntarily sending National Guard troops to the capital. The daily cost of operating public housing for all 30,000 would be less than one day of the D.C. occupation.

This is what Palestinians college students have had to deal with for decades. No matter how hard they try to better their lives, to put their heads down and study and work hard, Israel reminds them that they’ll never be free until Israeli occupation and apartheid is dismantled.

NEW: Not only is there "certainly no fentanyl involved" between Venezuela and the U.S., but the region's most prolific drug traffickers have often in fact been U.S. allies. On @BBC, IPS drug policy scholar @SanhoTree dismantles Trump admin claims. Watch:

What a distillation of the Trump-Vance-Rubio legacy. Young woman in Michigan says "this is not just a foreign issue, it's our tax dollars being used to commit these war crimes," referring to Venezuela. …Then police arrest her, on camera, for "obstructing" & "failure to obey."

Happy pub day to @jmhattem! This book on the intersections between conflict, climate crisis, and migration could not be more timely or important

Trump’s Military Occupations of U.S. Cities Cost $473 Million and Rising Trump’s campaign to quell dissent by deploying the American military to U.S. cities comes at an immense price https://t.co/plSu4fNQfX

“Blinken raised the prospect that Israel was committing ethnic cleansing to fellow U.S. officials” “Biden officials worried that attaching their names to a recommendation to limit American support for Tel Aviv would hinder their future career prospects” https://t.co/1VFr7QrLf0

MAGA’s ‘profit over people’ agenda could not be more clear: the MAGA regime will allow billionaire Pentagon contractors to spend public money during the shutdown, but won’t protect food benefits for hungry families, even though they could.

at the zohran rally with 13,000 jews, muslims, rabbis, priests, people of every race and gender and religion every article you read about this man being divisive is planted by a billionaire who wants to divide us because *they* are afraid of him

If you only follow Western media, you wouldn’t know what’s happening in the occupied West Bank. Seriously, where is the coverage?

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY. If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people. Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

"Why Is Trump’s ‘Peace Plan’ Focused on Deradicalizing Palestinians, Not Israelis?" Israel violated the ceasefire, while Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian woman and US journalist, and Israeli rioters shut down a soccer match, writes @prem_thakker: https://t.co/uTnK5vao1d

Centrists needed a few months post-primary to think up a reason to dismiss Zohran's politics. The best they've got: a poll showing that (gasp) 44% of Americans don't know enough about an NYC mayoral nominee to have an opinion yet. (and he's still doing better than Schumer)

Your reminder on this day that the Biden State Department claimed they didn’t know about the Hannibal Directive.

I will never condemn anyone for breaking out of a concentration camp.

NEW POLL: Our poll with @genzforchange and @YouGov surveyed 1,200 likely Democratic primary voters. 72% say Israel is committing genocide 75% want to end annual weapons funding to Israel And a supermajority support the same sanctions enacted against apartheid South Africa. ➡️

BREAKING: The House just passed its annual defense bill by a 231-196 margin, bringing the U.S. one step closer to spending $1 TRILLION a year on the military. Reminder: The House took away Medicaid and SNAP in JULY because these programs were "too expensive.”

“Expanding the military domestically to occupy American cities and suppress internal dissent is textbook authoritarianism,” IPS scholar @HannaHomestead tells @nickturse in @theintercept:

"Housing all of Chicago’s homeless people would cost about $383k/day, @HannaHomestead told The Intercept, noting that the sum equaled roughly one-quarter of the expense of a deployment of 3,000 Guard members" @natpriorities 🔗 https://t.co/ziTObfdws6

NEW: As Trump teases a new military occupation in Chicago, IPS scholar @HannaHomestead of @natpriorities found that it could cost $1.6 million/day. That's 4x as much as housing every unhoused person in the city. @nickturse in @theintercept: https://t.co/X6IemUqQk9
