Israel is wiping out village after village in South Lebanon. Villages older than entire modern states. Villages that survived centuries of history. Not military targets. Civilian homes. Civilian infrastructure. Civilian life. This is what they call a “ceasefire.”

We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we rarely question why some wealthy people are never satisfied with what they already have.

The media spent 2.5 years telling you this is “targeting Hamas.”

Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.

BREAKING: Israel just dropped bombs on a medical center in Qsaibeh, South Lebanon. Not a battlefield. Not a weapons depot. A medical center. Israel is hunting and killing the people who save lives. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity.

The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves.

@Zoya_ki_batein @Troy5_0 It is republican policy to kill Women for Jesus It is republican policy to kill children with preventable diseases It is republican policy to kill people FOR PROFIT. Please save a life vote out all republicans before it’s too late.

In Texas, A 18-year-old girl experienced a miscarriage at around six months pregnant. She visited emergency rooms three times over about 20 hours. On her second visit, she screened positive for sepsis, but doctors discharged her because the fetus still had a heartbeat, saying she was "fine to leave." On the third visit, an OB-GYN insisted on two ultrasounds to "confirm fetal demise" before admitting her to intensive care. She died hours later from sepsis complications. Her mother later said it felt like doctors were more concerned about the fetal heartbeat than her daughter's life.

a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario. a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose. the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant. he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests. Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time. GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead. Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on. Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for. then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company." GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing. then he splits the users by income. Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%. 18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time. so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for. it isn't recommending the best option for you. it's reading the room. and the room is paying. read this: arxiv.org/abs/2604.08525

ok white dude in Belgium with zero familial, cultural, genetic, linguistic, or legal connection to any part of that land. maybe you should read what the original zionists wrote about what they were doing. unlike you, all of them—from Herzl to Jabotinsky, to Ben Gurion—were clear that they were colonizing Palestine and they referred to Palestinians as "the natives" and "indigenous population". Now that colonialism is out of fashion, you've made up a whole new fairytale. GFYS

this is a completely unhinged thing to do that has somehow been normalized under capitalism. imagine explaining to someone 300 years ago the idea of destroying 420k trees cuz a company went bankrupt

So... just so we're clear... you want me to be afraid of trans women in the women's bathroom because they might be cis men pretending so they can assault women and children... and you think this reflects on... trans women... and not on cis men? Do I have this correct?

I like that building high speed rail in California requires nine thousand years of environmental impact studies but throwing up a data center the size of Texas takes fourteen seconds with zero material public support.

The United States has the largest prison population on earth. Not per capita. Total. More people in cages than China. More than Russia. More than every "authoritarian" state it condemns in its annual human rights reports. 1.8 million people. Disproportionately Black. Disproportionately poor. Disproportionately from the zip codes with the worst schools, the fewest jobs, the most abandoned infrastructure. This is presented as a "criminal justice system." It functions as a labor system. Prison labor, paid between 13 cents and $1.15 an hour in most states, produces goods for McDonald's, Walmart, Victoria's Secret, Whole Foods, and the United States military. The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, contains an exception clause: "Except as punishment for crime." That exception has never been closed. It has been expanded. The plantation did not disappear. It received a different name and a legal foundation.

An HIV-positive man with colon cancer, unable to work for four years, lived in his Los Angeles apartment for almost 25 years. He says he mailed his rent on time. The landlord said the check never arrived and filed for eviction. After a trial, a jury ruled he DID mail the payment, but since it wasn't cashed, they said he failed to pay on time. A judge ordered him out. Sheriff's deputies escorted him from his home of a quarter-century. He took his dog, Simba, and his clothes. He left behind his furniture, his blankets, his two TVs, and his beloved Madonna CDs. He's now homeless, sleeping on a friend's sofa. The system will evict a dying man over a payment dispute. But a corporation can squat in bankruptcy court for years? "That's a different matter entirely."

Remember Rachel Corrie. She wrote emails home about olive trees, children’s laughter, and a land that deserved to live, and then she stood in front of a bulldozer with nothing but her body and her belief in humanity. They crushed her, but they could not bury what she saw, or what she chose to defend. 23 years old. Not a weapon, just a witness. Not a threat, just a conscience. Her last act was to stand between violence and a home. Ours is to remember… and refuse to look away.

There won’t be acres of coverage or outrage over this, I can assure you.

Liberalism is Soo intellectually exhausted at this point. Like, you can’t keep insisting the sky is red when everyone can clearly see it’s blue. In the same way, you can’t keep flattening fundamentally different historical and material realities by claiming that antisemitism which a this point only exists conceptually no structure basis for it whatsoever operates at the same level, in the same way, as Islamophobia Anti Palestinian bigotry or anti-Black racism . All it does is exist to obscure the violence in the pervasiveness of Jewish supremacy.

Israel executed Naef today in Nablus, occupied West Bank. He was not a fighter. He was not on a battlefield. He was on his way back to a hospital where his wife was giving birth. Israel assassinated Naef before he could meet his first child.

Basically every Israel-Palestine debate goes like this: "Israel did X." "Yeah, because the Palestinians did Y." "Yeah, because Israel did Z." "Yeah but only because the Arabs did A." But if you bring the debate back far enough in time, eventually you get to the part where the western world forcibly dropped a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization without the permission of — and to the extreme detriment of — the people who were already living there. Sure you can go further back and say "Oh yeah well the Jews lived there thousands of years ago," but that's just silly. There's no valid reason to believe some Jewish guy in New York City even has any meaningful lineage connecting him to that land more strongly than any random Muslim in Turkey or wherever, and even if there was, it would still be absurd to cite ancient history as the basis for a territorial claim. I'm only a few generations removed from my ancestry in Ireland and Scotland, but it would be ridiculous for me to show up demanding the home of someone who lives there. So the original source for the grievance is clearly the artificial creation of an ethnonationalist state in the mid-20th century, and the push by Zionists and western imperialists to make it happen. And how has that decision worked out? You see the results before you. Generations of nonstop violence and abuse, culminating in the slaughter and chaos throughout the middle east today. This means that creating Israel was a mistake. A mistake that needs to be corrected. Zionists will collapse into a shrieking pile of vitriol and hyperbole when you say this, claiming you're calling for the extermination of Jews, but this is false. Certainly ending a national order premised on putting the interests of Jews before Palestinians and righting the wrongs of the past would inconvenience a lot of the Jewish people who've been living there, but there's no basis for the claim that it would entail their deaths. Apartheid South Africa was dismantled without the extermination of millions of white people, and there's no reason to believe the dismantling of apartheid Israel would entail the extermination of Jews. The Israel experiment has been tried, and it has failed. It is time to try something else.
