Many of your faves!

Gaza Starvation Photos Tell a Thousand Lies Hamas propaganda exploits seriously ill children, and Western media go along.

The editors who published this should go straight to The Hague. I mean literally, according to the terms of international law such as it exists.

❗Slovenia becomes the first European Union member-state to announce a two-way arms embargo on the State of Israel.

He's describing what was done to establish the state of Israel but admitting that it would create legitimate grievances from people already living there.

I thought of you right away when I read about this. The Mamdani administration has better reach out to you!

Starving child has pre-existing health problems. The NYT does not disappoint.

This is so perfect. "Dead Center" and he's so far to the right that he's half off the cover

Essential questions that I want to see someone try to answer.

There are over a hundred municipalities in the pre-1967 borders of Israel which are legally permitted to reject your residency based on race even if you are a citizen.

We have had 20 months of prominent people not just supporting genocide but actively "opposing the opposers" and ruining the lives of people who did and fuck all those people if they get upset because people post mean thing about them on websites that don't mattter

The American political elite across the political spectrum is uniquely depraved when it comes to Palestine.

"Israel is putting its heart into the liquidation of the Palestinians. How much more intent can there be?"

Ori Goldberg on Twitter, commenting on the dramatic acceleration of severe malnutrition and starvation in Gaza. If you think things have been horrifying, it's getting much worse.

Any help to Israeli missile defences lowers the cost of acting unreasonably. They bomb civilians because they know they are protected from the worst of the return fire. Leave them defenceless and they will act more reasonably.

AOC is wrong on this. Iron Dome absolutely allows Israel to keep killing Palestinians with impunity.

Book Review: The Greatest of All Plagues: How Economic Inequality Shaped Political Thought from Plato to Marx, by Williams, David Lay - William Clare Roberts, 2025

Honored to have had the venerable Marx scholar, @marxinhell.bsky.social, engage my book so thoughtfully in Political Theory. Will draws some important fault lines in thinking through both the problematizations of and resolutions to economic inequality.

it gives away what the question is FOR, too, that not being *trapped* by the question is to have "dodged" it

Supporting this has become ingroup signaling in politics - all major parties - and journalism. The right people support it and the wrong people don't. Choose your career path

America too. The "oh i will just stop talking about this now" crowd are the fucking worst

Be nice if more news agencies picked this up

I am not open to the idea that the US should attack Iran.
