We Live in a Time of Monsters Our senior editor writes from Beirut as Israeli warplanes and drones search for new targets across the city.

“It is incumbent upon us not… to get into debates about who is the tail and who the dog, when both are simply different heads of the same ravening beast.”

I wrote a letter from Beirut for The Markaz Review

Twitter is so fcked cause it makes you hate Mamdani or AOC more than the literal fascists unleashing global apocalypse. Biggest weakness of those campists with inflated sense of importance that remain there.

"History Is Repeating Itself" The war that the United States and Israel are waging in the Middle East is not solely directed at Iran. An interview with a Lebanese activist

Lebanon: “History Is Repeating Itself”

The war that the US and Israel are waging in the Middle East is not solely directed at Iran.

Israeli airstrikes are pummeling Lebanon, driving nearly 700,000 people from their homes.

To understand the consequences, we reached out to @ayoub.bsky.social.

As in Naomi Klein's book Doppelganger was born out of the frustration that ppl get confusing her with Wolf, and that politically, the two couldnt be more different.

Most interesting thing about htis person is that Naomi Klein gets confused for her so much that she ended up writing a book about it. (it ofc gets a lot deeper from there).

Screenshot of the fundraiser 'Lebanon Emergency Relief' which has garnered 51,529 thousand euros from 1192 supporters.

It's really incredible that this one fundraiser was able to get $50,000 to support displaced people in Lebanon. Lets keep this going cause the needs are huge and the government in Lebanon is non-existent.

I went to share this under some post about Hegesth's recent comments about his war on Iran being a fulfillment of prophecy and ended up watching it again. This is gna sound weird but I'm so impressed that I was able to put this together.
