‘The killings have mercifully stopped in Gaza, but there must now be a refusal to normalise what will follow – a return to a status quo in which we all keep on pretending that Palestinian life is viable under the authority of Israel.’

Western leaders attending the Sharm el-Sheikh summit have enabled and sponsored this slaughter. They are in no position to build a Palestinian future, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Capital and nativism will fight even harder against Zohran Mamdani now. But in capital's seat of power, socialism defeated barbarism. I fucking love New York

“There is no question that the Witkoff mission was a major contributor to the surprise. The Iranians would have assumed that Israel would not attack while the talks were under way and a meeting was about to take place.”

The donation marks the largest of any in the crowded Democratic primary for New York City mayor.

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

“Had their predecessors a generation ago not proposed the Department of Homeland Security in the first place – ordinary people in LA would not feel they have no choice but to be the resistance their politicians cannot summon.” - @attackerman

ICE is going to tell you which ideas are illegal for you to possess. Unless you WANT your brain to commit material support for terrorism?
