A leading Israeli news site quotes Netanyahu telling his top general, 2 days after Oct 7, to ‘take down houses, bomb with everything you have.’

An admission of war crimes from the horse’s mouth. Let’s see how the hasbarists try spin this.

Or use food as a weapon of war
Or bomb civilians, schools, churches and hospitals
Or murder tens of thousands of children
Or displace millions and occupy their homes

But Israel does all that.

Israel is a terrorist state.

For 20 days, Israel has sealed off Gaza from any aid or goods access.

The occupation is starving Palestinians in Gaza while renewing its relentless genocidal bombing.

Made possible by the USA.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st.

He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses."

They didn't show him a warrant.

They didn't give him paperwork.

And he's now suing.

Israël a repris des bombardements d'une rare intensité à Gaza faisant plus de 200 morts dont beaucoup d'enfants et des familles entières, notamment à Khan Younis.
Les génocidaires ont affirmé avoir eu l'accord de l'administration Trump pour commettre ces boucheries.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

A reminder that that US is bombing women and children in Yemen because Yemen is trying to stop the zionist terrorist GENOCIDE in Gaza and the occupied territories.

The US is the world’s biggest gangster.

Republicans claim to care about the debt, but they never want to tax the rich.

They only want to take it from the health care and programs for the poor and elderly — while CUTTING taxes on the rich.

It’s not about efficiency. And they don’t care about the debt. It’s a con.

My current mantras:
- Israeli self-defense has always been aggression
- The US party duopoly has always been about restoring oligarchy
- Capitalism is not compatible with democracy
- Zionism is terrorism
- Organized religion is evil

Columbia deserves all the shit they get, from Trump, from Zionists, and from progressives. They've buried themselves in a tiny untenable corner trying to satisfy their pro-Israel masters while mascarading as a liberal university.
Crisis comms firm at Columbia clearly losing it:

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.

There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
