Zionism is a political ideology that is predicated on the forced removal of Palestinians from their land in order to create a Jewish state.

Alex Thompson @AlexThomp . @hollyotterbein scoops: Top Dem officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza. https://www.axios.com/2026/02/22/dnc-2024-autopsy-harris-gaza

Incredible that the DNC won’t release this autopsy because apparently they don’t like the findings. They’d rather keep losing than admit their support for genocide cost them.

Israeli authorities are expanding the “yellow line” buffer zone deeper into residential areas in Gaza, while continuing ceasefire violations, Amjad al-Shawa, head of the Gaza NGO Network, told Palestine Online. He said Israel still controls 60% of the Strip and has still not allowed any mobile homes to enter, worsening conditions for the nearly 2M displaced Palestinians in tents. The government media office earlier said only 31,178 of 72,000 planned aid, commercial, and fuel trucks have entered, a 43% commitment rate. Just 861 of 6,000 fuel trucks arrived, 14%, far below the agreed daily targets.

After a slow start Rs were in control for most of that game. A very professional performance managing to be tight in defence, but still putting together some good passing moves and not afraid to attack when the opportunity was there. In the end we could and should have scored more. Vale MotM #QPR

Small footnote: Amadou Mbengue didn't get booked! #QPR

Hull bringing on all their subs is a credit to how well Rs are playing. I'll regret saying this but Rangers are in control. R's bench isn't so strong with all the injuries. Let's see what Bennie + Varane can do. #COYRs #QPR

An important reminder

Is Nico Madsen having a very quiet game or is it my imagination? #QPR

Must make sure we don't concede in first 5 minutes of second half!

Hull started well but Rs got into the game with some good passing moves. The goal was a bit flukey but deserved. Then RND doesn't stop the cross, Edwards messes up the block+ Walsh has no chance. Rs conceding possession but showing more invention going forward. #QPR

How Israel is spraying herbicides on Syrian crops

Israeli planes sprayed farmland in Quneitra, Syria, on 25, 27, 30 January 2026.

Around 400 hectares of grain and 4,000 hectares of pasture land affected.

Crops yellowed and died in just a few days.

Peter Beinart asks why many Jews are deaf to Palestinian suffering. Their attitude is "a symptom of eternal Jewish victimhood and a reverence of the Israeli state to the point where it has become idolatry."

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for "misconduct in public office", which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.

One blessing of the coverage of Andrew's arrest is that Nicholas Witchell is nowhere to be seen #Andrew

James Smith, Chief Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said: “There was finally some good news as CPI inflation fell sharply in January to its lowest level since March last year. The fall was broad based, driven by lower prices for some key staples such food, energy and petrol. “The fall in January signals a rapid return to ‘normal’ inflation in the coming months as the rate of price rises settles close to the 2 per cent target for the first time since before the pandemic. “While the era of high inflation is hopefully behind us, it has left us with a legacy of a lasting increases in the cost of essentials that continues to stretch the budgets of the country’s poorest families.”

In other words, the backsliding is real and serious. This is perhaps the most unfavorable that the public has been toward trans rights in quite some time. Republicans have successfully and effectively exploited several flashpoint issues, like sports, in order to shift public opinion in their direction, while progressives have been unable to effectively muster persuasive arguments. Some of this may be down to an unwillingness to even entertain a debate, in an unsuccessful effort to maintain a unified front. Progressive activists and organizations have often been confrontational when challenged with dissenting views, leading critics to claim that these tactics left little room for actual debate. The net result, however, is the worst-case scenario for progressives and trans individuals alike, as a previously sympathetic public’s support of trans rights has completely unraveled over the last decade.

The anti-trans side made bomb threats to children's hospitals. They spent a billion dollars messaging this over the last 7 years while the Dems mostly stayed silent or ducked away. But somehow, they always seem to blame trans people for their own persecution.

This graph is the best illustration of the “peace dividend”: crossover between health and defence reached right at the end of the Cold War.

One of the most basic tenets of election security is to avoid creating a Single Point of Failure (SPF). Unfortunately, it appears that SCOTUS created a potential SPF by sanctioning DOGE’s access to SSA databases, which are now a key component of Trump’s voter purge election strategy. 1/
