Israel really gives the West a hard time. Every major politician will be in the middle of calling out a Russian war crime while they have to ignore the fact that Israel has bombed children's playgrounds, schools, hospitals, refugee camps, and football games within weeks

Internal State Department report leaked to me reveals the US surveyed people in Muslim-majority countries on their perception of the US amid the Gaza war, and the results are pretty dire.

Israel just bombed a bunch of Palestinian children playing football. There's footage of the entire thing. Over 29 confirmed dead already. The West is complicit in genocide

Trump is promising retribution. The Supreme Court is teeing it up for him. Biden has to act like he has six months to abolish as much of the War on Terror as possible. Abolition is central to retaining what passes for democracy in the US, and time is running out. New from me at Zeteo.
Biden Must Abolish War on Terror Now or We Risk Trump's Political "Retribution" Campaignzeteo.com Trump already used the institutions and authorities of the 9/11 era on Americans in 2020. What will he do with "absolute immunity"?

The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless. In the 1970s, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a multi-billion dollar industry. It all began with the Powell Memo.

Intelligence committee chairman, not a dismissible figure. (Unfortunately!) If Biden has to drop out, doesn’t he have to resign? I don’t understand how he could be incapable of being the nominee but capable of governing.

But you don’t look at that guy and think “oh he definitely won’t be able to do this X years from now.” You look at that guy and think “oh he definitely isn’t able to do this *right now*.” And getting him out validates that.

Pretty awesome Jeremy Corbyn won as an independent with grassroots campaigning and support from youth and POC voters. Definitely shows that pro-Palestine politicians who call out the genocide in Gaza can win

The problem with Trump as a fascist isn't that he's not a fascist, it's that he's very fucking lazy. But that's also why his second term is so scary, cos the GOP know that now and they made the plans for him this time
"viewing Trump as something like a fascist leader foresaw the violence of January 6th as a live possibility, while its critics mocked the notion as mere hysteria. Whatever its shortcomings, “Trump as fascist” remains the best guide to what Trump will try to do next"

The DNC's rationale for moving up the nomination date, even as increasing numbers of Democrats would like to see a different candidate on the ticket, doesn't hold up. From @ddayen.bsky.social:

That’s because when they consult with “industry” they’re consulting with C-suite folks They might do a photo op on a factory floor but they’re not convening a roundtable with factory floor workers and small-shop owner-operators

If you want to understand why the world is so chaotic it helps to recognize how many people in positions of influence and real power get their understanding of global politics from pieces like this.
