Worth thinking about how Schumer voted against the supermajority of his party in two back to back votes just now because he agrees with the Trump administration that Israel should be given unlimited, unconditional, essentially free military assistance.
A photo of a tray with three sections empty. One has chopped carrot in it. The other has what can only be described as a posit of brown dog vomit and an insole liner of a sneaker (or a used panty liner from the mid 1700s). The kind of meal that would have you happily tossing yourself overboard.
NEW: Growing fears of food shortages on USS Tripoli & other US ships in the Middle East.
This photo is the kind of meals now being served. It was sent by a sailor to her family.
Families are now trying to send food parcels to the ships.

- Increases and prolongs reliance on fossil (so next crisis hurts even more)
- Often doesn't pass through to consumers (fossil co's just pocket it)
- Benefits enjoyed more by the rich (who drive bigger cars longer distances)
- Decreases gov't revenue so you end up paying for it in different ways
I know you'll be disappointed to hear this, but these pics have been identified by Snopes and other sites as bogus, AI-generated.
This is what I mean by "radical transformation"
Caterpillar bulldozers killed Rachel Corrie in Gaza in 2003. They've been demolishing Palestinian homes for decades. This week, her home state of Washington divested $62 million from the company, & her hometown voted unanimously to block all investment in apartheid. mondoweiss.net/2026/04/bds-...
a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is condemning the Israeli government for hitting a synagogue used by Persian Jews in Iran, and calling on Jewish advocacy groups to condemn the attack. Think about that for a moment
Standard Israeli ceasefire under Netanyahu
The key lesson of this NYT story is that Trump got conned by a better con man (Netyanyahu): www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...
Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer Kanye West should never have been invited to headline Wireless. This government stands firmly with the Jewish community, and we will not stop in our fight to confront and defeat the poison of antisemitism. We will always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values.
The U.S. President, Britain’s greatest ally, announced plans to end a whole civilization tonight.
one important question for anyone who supports "defensive" military aid to Israel such as the Iron Dome is: do you support defensive military aid for Palestine? Will you fund a Golden Dome for Gaza to protect its civilians from Israeli missiles? And if not, why not?
Benjamin Anthony's racist speech at New York's influential Park Avenue Synagogue, where he argued that U.S. Jews need to support ethnic cleansing in Gaza, illustrates how the American Jewish community has embraced Israeli racism and brutality.

It’s functionally illegal in the United States to criticize Israel
Iran-Contra showed something important: a president could ignore Congress on foreign policy, break the rules, and survive politically.
Decades later, presidents launch wars without Congress — or avoid calling them wars so they don’t even have to ask. They’re not even bothering to hide it anymore.
A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans:
1940: 81%
1950: 84%
1960: 91%
1970: 72%
1980: 70%
1990: 28%
2000: 40%
2010: 35%
For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.
READ: The Jewish Defense League was declared a terrorist group by the FBI. Its founder's ideology now runs the Israeli government. And a group inspired by it just plotted to bomb a Palestine activist's home in New York. Here's the history you need to know. mondoweiss.net/2026/03/what...
She spoke out about Gaza. Now she can't use a credit card.
The UN investigator for Palestinian territories is facing U.S. sanctions and accused of antisemitism by the State Department.

... and financial channels, while embedding itself more firmly in non-Western economic and political alignments. What was intended to be coercive unpredictability was gradually absorbed into policy planning. asianarratives.substack.com/p/the-fall-o...
Maximum pressure campaigns, sanctions regimes, and periodic military signaling do not produce behavioral reversal so much as structural adjustment. Iran built sanctions-resilient networks, asymmetrical, economic responses, hardened security systems, deepened alternative trade...

Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.
Nova Scotia Power is a monopoly providing a service to the public — it makes no sense for it to be privately owned, with primary purpose to make money for shareholders. It used to be a public utility: let's make it so again! c.org/Vs76xH9SbY
Every analysis of Cuba should constantly keep in mind that the purpose of U.S. policy is, and has been since 1959, to force the government to adopt a capitalist model that will be profitable for American corporations.
