The greed is wild. Apple is worth nearly $4 trillion but can't tolerate a single store with unionized workers because they're so against workers getting what they deserve.

Middle East conflict: this ceasefire may have made Iran stronger Both sides are claiming success, but it may be Tehran that benefits more from the deal.

If Trump commits war crimes in Iran, he can be prosecuted | Kenneth Roth There is no question that Trump’s threats, if carried out, would amount to war crimes. The international justice system is positioned to act

"Even Trump is vulnerable to prosecution, but after the supreme court’s deplorable ruling, not in the United States," writes @kennethroth.bsky.social.

Fascinating new research from a fair sized & representative Pews poll of US citizens. Negative views of Israel have grown dramatically amongst GOP & Dem young adults. Israel is losing its future electoral importance as older voters decline. The US is the most pro-Israeli govt.

So Israel has now killed very nearly as many Lebanese as Israelis were killed on October 7, including 100 children and there’s hardly a word of condemnation other than from Carney and Macron. Why no international outcry at the ethnic cleansing that’s taking place.

Donald Trump’s ‘new’ 15-point plan is the biggest sign yet that Washington fears it is losing this war Donald Trump’s revival of a ‘roadmap’ to peace dismissed by Iran in 2025 suggests he is looking for a way out of an increasingly unwinnable war.

thewire.in/world/rival-... Critical multiplexity illuminates rupture: hierarchies are not inevitable; they are challenged by sustained construction of people-centred alternatives that place dignity and justice at the forefront. Which vision prevails on overlapping screens define emerging order.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
