Israelis see the Palestinian woman as a "production line of terrorists". This is a completely mainstream "opinion" in "Israel".

I would, very much, like to deny Israel the right to implement a racist apartheid genocidal state, predicated on the forced displacement of the indigenous population.
Yes.

i find it hilarious that after decades of squeezing every last drop of blood out of the middle class, now capitalists are complaining that not enough people are eating at restaurants, taking trips, using airlines, or buying crap from box stores.

Haley Steven’s: DONT UNFAIRLY DEMONIZE ISRAEL
Israelis:
This type of fearmongering about Israel is wrong. It is not a winning strategy for any state. It does nothing to help Michigan Democrats win up and down the ballot in eight days. Do we need to lower costs by building more homes, securing people’s health care, and creating a fairer federal tax code? Yes, we do!! How we do so is not by blaming the high costs of our goods on the only Jewish homeland in the world. I want to see Democrats succeed at every level, and that means keeping our focus on lowering costs for Michigan families and reining in this out-of-control President.

We should be doing this as a matter of priority in the UK btw, because our days as America's pet are clearly coming to an end.

Three paragraphs when two words would have done.
"Revolving door."
Mr Polanski, I know you have a reputation for being scrupulous about checking your facts, but you’ve missed an important detail.
My contract requires me to remain on leave from the Lords, surrender my parliamentary pass and forgo all access and voting rights for the duration of my employment at Palantir. I do not, therefore, take any whip.
I fear this makes me rather less useful to the whips’ office than you imply.

Reminds me of reports that Nader’s 2004 ballot push was financed by the Kochs. It’s a consequence of our authoritarian laws restricting third parties/balloting, a legal electoral structure imposed by the duopoly that situates the US in a category closer to Belarus or Azerbaijan.
NEW: The group behind Cornel West's 2024 ballot push was wholly funded through Elon Musk's dark money network, according to Sludge's review of tax documents. readsludge.com/2026/10/26/mu…

We have the solutions. It's time China and everyone else to unplug the fossil fuel machine and implement them.

NEW: The last months has seen Iran strike a record number of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, and Persian Gulf… and it still represents a SIGNIFICANT undercount of the true number due to UKMTO non-reporting.
But it’s more than this. It’s the expansion of geographic strikes and the severity of strikes that is the most concerning.
Vessels are being sunk, lit ablaze, blacked out, and disabled. Crew members are being injured and killed. It’s a whole different level of risk now.
And in parallel, we see ZERO indication that Iran’s ability to strike vessels, escalate across the Gulf, and impose catastrophic damage on the global economy is dwindling.
In fact, just in the past two weeks, Iran has fired WELL more than 100+ missiles in testing for enhanced range and capabilities.
If Iran’s military industrial base was devastated… if Iran was “just about to run out of munitions”…
They would NOT be firing off 100+ missiles in testing. They’d be desperately saving them.
With all signs pointing to a renewed hot conflict phase of the U.S./Iran War in the coming days and weeks…
There’s very little reason to believe Iran CAN’T cause enormous devastation to the region and the global economy if need be.
My latest deep-dive analysis in @MeidasTouch is now LIVE.
Iran wasn't running out of firepower. It was holding back.
Now vessels are being sunk, missile tests are accelerating, and the scale of attacks is expanding dramatically.
What we're witnessing should terrify Trump's war planners. New @BrettErickson28. meidasnews.com/news/iran-was…

Michael Parenti (1933-2026) on the ‘free market’:
‘The free market mythology argues that the most ruthless, selfish, opportunistic, greedy, calculating plunderers, applying the most heartless measures in cold blooded pursuit of corporate interests and wealth accumulation, will produce the best results for all of us through something called the invisible hand.’
The rise of socialism in the United States, particularly among young people, is precisely because Americans can see how ridiculous this mythology of free market capitalism is, given the deteriorating material conditions for millions of Americans, while a tiny oligarchy prospers to astronomical heights.
Socialism may be in its infancy in the United States, some who call themselves socialists may only understand it as ‘when the government provides public services’…
But the ideas of socialism in the US will snowball and mature, bringing in the ideas of places where socialism has a long tradition such as China, Russia, Latin America, and Europe.
Socialism is in its infancy in the United States, the obvious dystopian realities of late-stage capitalism in the US will only fuel its rise and maturation.
Prof. Richard Wolff on the rise of SOCIALISM in the United States🇺🇸:
‘You have to remember when you talk about the US, that for the last 70-75 years, we have lived under a regime. It is a regime that has demonised anything and everything having to do with the Soviet Union, the arch enemy, the communists, the socialists, the anarchists.
Most of my students, who are otherwise intelligent, hardworking, very good young men and women, but when you ask them about these issues, they talk as if socialism, communism, Marxism, anarchism, and many other things are synonyms. They have no concept of them beyond they’re bad, they’re foreign, they’re negative.
Therefore, for there to even be a serious socialism in this country, which there now is, is an amazing achievement. The whole country is indebted to Bernie Sanders because he broke the taboo by saying, “No, I’m not going to run away from the label socialist.” But we are in the early stages now, so it’s basically too early to answer your question beyond saying it’s very impressive how quickly it’s growing.
The latest Gallup polls in our country show that if you ask people below the age of 34, the majority now say they prefer socialism to capitalism.’

Useful reminder to those complaining about refugees in Europe: if you want less refugees, your main enemy is the US Military Industrial Complex.
