Among all the different aspects of the Israel's ongoing campaigns of state terrorism, the repeated attacking of UN peacekeepers in Southern Lebanon seems like it should get more attention.

Particularly among the Israeli military's biggest financial backers: the US taxpayer.

The long tradition of US imperial gaslighting is over.

The Trump regime doesn't even try to create viable cover stories that our military/corporate invasions are about "spreading democracy" or "helping people in other countries."

It's just straight up smash-and-grab old school imperialism.

The Markwayne Mullin appointment proves it without a shadow of a doubt. White supremacy & cultures of oppression REQUIRE the platforming of the transparently mediocre to enforce their systems.

Because that combo of mediocrity & ambition fosters a type of cravenness that is willing to do anything.

One of the instances in which it is actually emphatically true that by stifling left-liberal criticism of Israel on a liberal basis you just leave open room for nutjobs to do it and fill the space instead

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

Antarctica’s Mineral Riches Exposed as Climate Warms

Awww, for f**k's sake. One more time for all the profit-blinded, corporate marauders in the back:

Melting ice caps are NOT a new business opportunity. They are an existential warning that we must transform our economic system before it's too late.

Gentle reminder about how the US Constitution works:

How about everyone stop declaring Mullin the new head of Homeland Security and instead refer to him by what he actually is: the new APPOINTEE.

And therefore yet another chance for Dems to show they oppose fascism by voting against him.

Inquiry for New York Times

Good afternoon,
My name is [REDACTED]
and l am a reporter for the
New York Times. I am researching how much money the Palestinian diaspora community has sent to support Gazan families since the war in Gaza began. Does your team track this figure? I really appreciate it.
With gratitude,

Palestine Diaspora Movement 

Hello [REDACTED]
We do not collaborate with The New York Times.
Your email asks about money sent to Gazan families "since the war in Gaza began." Let us first correct the premise. This is not a war. It is a genocide. Calling it a war is part of the problem. It obscures the reality of a colonized people being massacred by a military machine backed by the United States and defended, sanitized, and rhetorically softened by institutions like yours.
The New York Times has spent far too long parroting Zionist propaganda and laundering Israeli state narratives while Palestinians bury their dead. That kind of coverage does not merely misinform. It helps create the political climate in which Palestinian slaughter becomes explainable, defensible, and forgettable.
So no, we will not be sharing any figures, internal data, or community information with a paper that has so thoroughly damaged its credibility on Palestine. Quite frankly, we would rather chew jeans than help The New York Times extract from our community while continuing to fail it.
Do not contact us again for this purpose, The Palestine Diaspora Movement Team

The Pentagon is the world's largest institutional emitter. It's also failed eight audits in a row. And the climate movement stays quiet.

But we won't.

African States Stand Firm Against Solar Geoengineering, Urge Real Climate Solutions African heads of state reaffirmed their opposition to solar geoengineering at this year’s African Ministerial Conference on the Environment, earning praise from climate advocates.

Q: As a privately funded northern NGO, how does Reflective view calls by GOVERNMENTS for a "solar geoengineering non-use agreement" including most recently ministers from all 54 African nations?

Should other countries have a voice in regulating controversial, planet-altering tech? If so, how?
