This is one of the finest, most powerful television ads I've every seen. Do American a favor and share this everywhere. Heart, not policy papers. Love, not hate. Hope, not fear. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway. To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back. Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

If you’re unclear Amanpour’s exit from CNN after 43 years has to do with the Ellison takeover and her coverage of Israel/Gaza you’re not paying attention. Fascism is taking hold in 🇺🇸, as the Trump-friendly pro-Israel oligarchs buy up the outlets.

🇫🇷 Two notable videos from Saturday’s mass protests in Metz, a city in northeastern France near the borders with Germany and Luxembourg. ➤ As thousands marched through the city, a newly married couple emerged from city hall. Demonstrators greeted them with cheers and chants of “Vive les mariés!” (“Long live the newlyweds!”), according to French newspaper L’Est Républicain. ➤ Elsewhere in Metz, footage circulated by French left-wing outlet L’insoumission appears to show two masked men dressed in black throwing grenades into a street before leaving with uniformed police officers. The outlet identifies them as undercover police.

What @bradlander is doing says so much about who is, what he stands for, and the principles he will bring to Congress. He is an amazing man. Read his statement.
I'm in the West Bank this week as part of the “Protect the Harvest” coalition along with @israelispeaceny, @ucpinpalestine & Protect the Harvest, which is bringing people together from around the world to help Palestinian farmers harvest olives in the face of state-sanctioned settler terrorism. Our goals for the trip are to help protect the olive harvest — and to shed a light on the reality of the occupation. To ensure that international solidarity goes beyond the harvest, to become a sustained commitment to protecting Palestinian communities from settler violence, forced displacement, and the ongoing threats to their right to remain on their land. And, speedily and in our day, to secure human rights, safety, equality & freedom for both Palestinians and Israelis. Thankfully, our corner of today's harvest was peaceful and successful. But violence unfortunately is never far away. We’ll keep you posted on our efforts this week, especially the stories we hear from Palestinians on the ground. Protect the Harvest.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via @tmsimmons) greensboro.com/news/local/go…

“I don’t know how parents can raise such monsters,” Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine says of the Jewish settlers who attacked her in the West Bank today. How can our governments support this monstrous Israeli state?

A majority of the 635 children held in Israeli prisons in 2025 were put in solitary confinement, usually for between one and two weeks – some up to eight times. 92 per cent of those children had not been sentenced. A third had not even been charged with an offence. The world's highest court says Israel is an apartheid state. Its decades-long occupation is illegal.

NOTE: Netanyahu attacks interviewees "exposing highly classified information and creating a breach in the information security of a highly sensitive intelligence unit." He does NOT attack them for lying.

What is happening in Israel now is truly scary. It was maddening before, making one angry in a heartbeat. It is now scary, a masterclass in how nazism came to power. More than 21% of the country's population identified as "enemies from within", alongside its current elites. The erasure of any and all differences between Jewish politicians, attempts othewise at the sole cost of those attempting to differntiate. Calls for the stripping of citizenship from journalists who made a documentary film the entire country has not seen. A xomplete and utter rejection of anyone who is not "zionist" (read "jewish") as a traitor. This hasn't happened in the world for quite some time. It is happening now, to the fullest extent of "hapening".

This story is insane. The Palestinian Bedouin Israeli Yusef Alziadna is widely regarded as a hero in Israel after having saved 30 lives on Oct. 7. Today, in recognition of his bravery, Israeli security forces arrived at his home with bulldozers & demolished the foundations of his family's home. They also demolished his storage shed & a chicken coop & damaged the area used by his brother’s flock of sheep. It's not just his own property -- it's the whole neighborhood Israel wants to destroy. 65 demolition orders hang over the homes in the neighborhood. Just a week ago, his nephew got married; shortly before the wedding, he, too, had received a demolition order for his home. When the bulldozers arrived, it turned out that the newlywed had already demolished his own home to avoid a forced demolition. There is 1 and only 1 reason Israel is trying to wipe Yusef's neighborhood off the map: Yusef and his family have P-positive DNA. They are Palestinian Arab Bedouin, not Jewish. But Israel is a state for people with J-positive DNA. Jews. That means Israel will do whatever it can to push Yusef, his family and community off their land, because they have the wrong DNA. Rahat itself was constructed decades ago to force Bedouins off their ancestral lands in the Naqb, into settled communities where they would have no access to land where they could tend to their flocks of goat, sheep, animals, etc. Today, Yosef was scheduled to give an interview on Reshet Bet and recount once again how he saved... ...many on October 7th. He cancelled the interview. Instead of coming to the studio, he invites people to come to him and see what the bulldozers did in his neighborhood today. mekomit.co.il/%D7%A9%D7%9C%D…
Yosef Alziadna was one of the great heroes of October 7th. That morning he was asleep in bed when a friend called him to help. Alziadna drove past Be'eri under fire, reached the party grounds and packed 30 people into his 14-seat minibus. Today, the State of Israel destroyed his storage shed and chicken coop, tore out what was left of his nephew's house (the nephew had already knocked it down himself to avoid a forced demolition), and damaged land. This is how Israel treats its Palestinian citizens. No matter how much you serve the Zionist regime, you will remain subhuman to them.

One from the archives Professor Avi Shlaim: "Anti-zionism has nothing to do with antisemitism. But Israel and its friends have deliberately... conflated anti-zionism with antisemitism in order to discredit critics of Israel, in order to smear them"
