As you may have gathered from the footage, DHS and ICE are lying to your face about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

We've been keeping track of some of the other lies @zeteo.com

Loved this one-sentence piece.

Incidentally, when misfortune strikes, I also cycle through three or four different culprits before realizing who's really to blame.

In the event that tomorrow’s speech is a declaration of further aggression against Venezuela, you should respond in a way that will let you hold your head high years from now, even if it is difficult in the present.

I go to sleep on these cold winter nights with my blanket, my heater, four walls and a roof — and I think of my friend Hani’s family, in a torn tent that doesn’t keep out the rain.

If you’ve ever gained any joy or insight from my words, please help them buy a new tent.

and the same reason I refused to debate Charlie Kirk. I don't debate fascists. Genocide is wrong. Free Palestine from the river to the sea. And if you disagree, bite me.

Every day I get a couple of dozen demands from Zionists that I debate them. And as my platform has grown across Threads and Bluesky, they've only increased.

I don't debate genocide apologists. It's why I turn down interview requests from shows that platform Alan Dershowitz and Bari Weiss,

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices.

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

What is unfolding in Sudan, where the armed group RSF has taken control of the key city of El Fasher, is "the sum of all our fears," says human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond. "RSF is killing at a scale and a velocity that I haven’t seen since Rwanda."

I've gone back and forth on whether to post about this -- part of me that is so, so tired of flaying open the details of our grief just to beg the world to care.

They killed my friend. They fucking killed him.

His wife is struggling immensely to feed their children. Anything you can donate helps.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.
