It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

Polanski doesn't divide workers vs businesses, reality does. Material conditions do. The law does. What is this absolute drivel? Why is it being spouted by a Labour MP?

This is the point IMO, in Zack's leadership where we must decide how we are going to vote next year on our economic policy. If you don't know enough to have a firm opinion a good starting point is this discussion between Richard and many MMT supporting Greens. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/12...

Good. Other big states should follow suit since Congress under the GOP won't protect our rights here.

The obvious next step for them. It’s not about “international waters” or any of that BS. It’s just a claim that the president has the inherent power to kill anyone he says is a “terrorist,” a decision that’s unreviewable and for which he’s immune from prosecution.
NEW: U.S. Military Willing to Attack “Designated Terrorist Organizations” Within America, General Says

“That is one of the concerns with the administration asserting that the President essentially has a license to kill outside the law,” says expert.

Netanyahu funded Hamas as other Israeli governments have done since the 1980’s

Netanyahu also funded ISIS linked gangs in Gaza to loot and commit crimes to frame Hamas

Netanyahu initially claimed the unarmed man who disarmed one of the Bondi shooters was Jewish..and that was published by the Times of Israel and the Jerusalem Post. It was quickly disproven but it took a while before Israeli media buried that claim. Netanyahu uses his media to lie to his own folks.

This is why I find photos of mourners/people at Bondi wrapped in Israeli flags so bizarre. They themselves are making that not-so-crass-after-all connection. They’re Australians. Wrap up in the Australian flag, rather than that of a foreign colonial power committing genocidal ethnic cleansing.
