After two and a half years Kibbutz Nahal Oz reopens its pub that was destroyed during the October 7th massacre. This is how we win, we restore and rebuild. And then we drink.



People of goodwill have forcefully rejected the antisemitic and anti-American candidate in the TX-35 run-off. Republicans must immediately stop boosting her candidacy.




Someone can certainly *make* a billion dollars. That’s not the same thing as earning. Growing fast and disrupting markets also often means chasing and wielding market power, political influence, and scale. Take Airbnb. They heavily lobby politicians against passing housing laws to protect working class residents because it’s bad for their business model. Airbnb could not exist at its current scale and size without the housing market destabilizations, displacements, and exploits that are supercharging the evictions of working people everywhere from Puerto Rico to Jackson Hole. Now young people are planning for a future where they will never be able to afford to own a home while others have 20 and live off renting it out to them at extortionate rates with zero protections. Yes, a tiny amount of people can make billions of dollars doing that. And millions of everyday Americans are bearing the cost.
