All of us are in danger as long as the empire stands As people across the U.S. left react to attacks on Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba, canned rhetoric and sectarianism remain the priority

US denominational leftism is not in any position to cast aspersions on everyone else's struggles while failing to do the substantial domestic work towards defeating empire. Populations are being destroyed while many in the US reduce radicalism to clubhouse quarrels. prismreports.org/2026/03/03/u...

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

And now, heed their voice, but be sure to warn them and tell them about the protocol of the king who will reign over them.
10 Samuel told all the words of HASHEM to the people who had requested a king of him. "He said, "This is the protocol of the king who will reign over you: He will take away your sons and place them in his chariots and cavalry, and they will run before his chariot; 1he will appoint for pr himself captains of thousands and captains of fifty, to plow his furrow and to reap his harvest, and to produce his implements of battle and the furnishings of his chariot. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfum-ers, cooks, and bakers. 14He will confiscate your best fields, vineyards, and olive trees, and present them to his servants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and vines, and present them to his officers and servants.
16 He will take your servants and maidservants and your best young men and your donkeys and press them into his service. ' He will take a tenth of your sheep, and you will be his slaves. 1On that day you will cry out because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves - but HASHEM will not answer you on that day."* 19 But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel. They said, "No! There shall be a king over us, 2 and we will be like all the other nations; our king will judge us, and go forth before us, and fight our wars!"* 21 Samuel heard all the words of the people and repeated them to HASHEM.

This is fundamentally why β€œChristian Zionism” is antisemitic. They only claim to care about the Jewish people and Israel as pawns so that Jesus can come back and smite the unbelievers (including the Jewish people).

It’s batshit insane and we just need to call it out for what it is.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for β€œArmageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been β€œinundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Well I guess we have gotten the answer to a number of questions all at once

The fact the military is openly saying it is being told this is the Christian war to β€œbring about Jesus return” is.. bad.

The president said he understood the risks of an attack, but he conveyed to Mr. Carlson that he had no choice but to join a strike that Israel would launch.

After Mr. Carlson left the White House midday on Feb. 23, he told others he thought Mr. Trump was leaning toward military action.

The impressions you get from this article:
*Netanyahu made the decision to attack.
*Trump went along with it.
*Internal voices urging caution (Generals, and uh, Tucker Carlson) were ignored.
*Voices arguing for escalation (Vance) gained influence (gift link)

Remember also that the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Hamas leader Mohammed Deif in addition to Netanyahu and Gallant. They could have delivered him to the ICC but it would have meant also facing the charges. So Israel killed Deif in July 2024.

Accountability itself is what Israel opposes. 🧡

Some of us can't afford to give people who blatantly & clearly demonstrate that they're white supremacists the benefit of the doubt to move on to what's important. What's important is their immediate threat to our lives. So get that through your privileged brains cosplaying working class struggle.

One of the core challenges for anyone doing liberatory work is figuring out how to meet people where they're at while simultaneously remaining principled and decent.

There is a difference between absolving the complicit and patiently finding a path to help folks recognize and end their complicity.

i cannot believe the RAC is endorsing an illegal war started in violation of the constitution that came about in the midst of diplomatic negotiations. it's complete moral abdication and your organization can no longer be looked to as a standard-bearer of the american jewish social justice tradition.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Here's Why the Epstein Files Are Radicalizing You You may find yourself getting lost in the Epstein files. Maybe you're seeing it happening to others. Here's what's happening and how to process what we're experiencing.

New piece:

I have never seen such a widespread online radicalization happen in realtime, especially among "normies."

This can be good: people seeing how broken things are.

But as usual, it's going sideways: towards conspiracy theories & division.

Here's what's happening, why, and how to stop it.

This has nothing to do with opposition to the Israeli state's actions. In decades of work on related areas -- I have ONLY seen white supremacist Neo-Nazi actors use "goyim" like this.
