I will also say this regarding NYC: Andrew Cuomo's biggest mistake will have been trying his absolute hardest to make this a referendum on pro-Israel politics in the Democratic Party. He (in my opinion, mostly) failed, but what people will take away from this is that he succeeded and lost the fight.

Benjamin Netanyahu crying

Benjamin Netanyahu permanently banned from New York City.

“This is the first time federal terrorism charges have been deployed in association with the ‘antifa’ label, just a month after President Donald Trump announced that he was designating antifa a ‘major terrorist organization’ — a designation that does not exist under law for domestic groups.”

Almost all mainstream pro-Israelists claim to oppose settler violence. In February 2023, there was a settler-perpetrated pogrom in the West Bank, which might explain Zohran's fervency. Who exactly is this messaging for?

"I think AI in general and police AI (specifically) really thrives in the shadows, and is most successful when people don't know that it's being used," EFF’s @MGuariglia.bsky.social told @NPR.org. "I think labeling and transparency is really the first step."

Trump’s drug wars:

In 9 months, he’s threatened to attack Mexico and annex Canada.

He started a tariff battle with China over fentanyl, bombed Colombian fishermen and is now gearing up to strike Venezuela.

There is no end game.

He’s just a bully. With an army. Looking for someone to push around.

Vance is just the most contemptible little shit

This is what solidarity looks like!

James @GoodVibePolitik X.com Philadelphia No Kings rally was asked by multiple pro-Palestine organizations to have a Palestinian speaker and just flat out said no so now there's a Palestine contingent going to talk to people and be essentially an internal counterdemo. Super excited.

This btw is the way

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

“The idea that law enforcement would be masked and and therefore unaccountable to the people they are serving is really anathema to American values,” EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told @TechnologyReview.com. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/...

Peaceful activists are dragged off boats at gunpoint for trying to feed Gaza. But the war criminals committing the genocide get applause in parliaments, billions in funding, and handshakes from presidents.
We are watching pure evil live streamed.

This is so embarrassing for those of you doing this shit for free.

You’ll never guess who bombed another school today

Public opinion hasn't mattered to any politician for decades. Why would they care now?

Almost every single politician and institution in the US is underwater in terms of favorability and approvals.

Today the people of Gaza were given the choice between becoming Tony Blair’s slaves or continuing to be slaughtered.

What's Netanyahu's answer to this dramatic shift in American public attitudes toward Israel? Have allies buy TikTok and appeal to Musk to control the narrative on X. Watch:

Nick Fuentes’ rise shows how extremist figures are sanitized and mainstreamed. Despite a record of racism, misogyny, and antisemitism, he’s been platformed by major podcasters, monetized by Patrick Bet-David’s Minnect, and embraced as a “voice of reason” after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Pentagon's feverish quest to double missile output for a phantom China clash reeks of empire's endless arms race, fattening contractors while the world teeters on self-made apocalypse. #MilitaryIndustrialComplex

Following President Trump’s meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House, and the Trump administration’s release of a “21-point plan” to end the conflict in Gaza, Matt Duss, Executive Vice-President at the Center for International Policy, released the following statement: "The world desperately needs an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, whose people have endured unspeakable horror over these past two years. Unfortunately, the 21-point plan released by the Trump administration today, while thankfully walking back from Trump’s previous goal of expelling Gaza’s people, contains numerous opportunities for Netanyahu to renege on his commitments, as he has repeatedly done in the past. It is not clear who has agreed to which terms of Trump’s plan, or whether Trump himself understands what is in it. Trump and Netanyahu’s remarks today were a litany of lies about the last 30 years, not a promising foundation for peace. "Despite his claim of being close to a deal, Trump's statement that Israel will have 'full US backing' to "'finish the job' in Gaza if his plan is not agreed to stood out most clearly. This would be more of what we have seen not only the last nine months, but the last two years, as the United States has unconditionally armed and subsidized a genocide in Gaza." "The path to a desperately needed peace remains the same as it has for nearly two years: using leverage and pressure on Israel to achieve a ceasefire that stops its atrocities, frees all hostages, ends the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and supports a real path to Palestinian liberation, without which the region will not know real security."

New from @mattduss.bsky.social for @cipolicy.bsky.social: following President Trump’s meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House, and the Trump administration’s release of a “21-point plan” to end the conflict in Gaza.

It's because both the far-Right and neoliberals are united in hating the Left - because they want to expand repression against society at large, attacking the working-class as a whole, and increase crackdowns on social movements, strikes, and protests which seek to better day to day conditions.

YouTube video by Black Rose Ⓐ 10 Points On The Black Bloc Ⓐ

i re-watch this often to remember “the very basic principle of no comrade left behind, that we do not leave people in the police lines and decide to flee, and for that the black bloc is deeply courageous.”

Primaries needed to happen 30 years ago. Now, it's too late, and we have to be discussing solutions that align with reality instead of trying to push people into a failed electoral project. The entire system is captured by corporations and the rich, and fascists are in power. Voting can't fix that.

man stands above women, she's on the ground screaming in fear as he clenches his fist above her

ICE Trump regime trooper stands on top a mother with his fist clenched after shoving her to the ground in front of her children.

US media allege he was removed but MAGA insiders such as propagandist Jack Posobiec, claim he's being reinstated. Abusing women & children is a MAGA principle.

DESIGNATING ANTIFA AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals. This campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists. Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity, then employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members. Individuals associated with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate with other organizations and entities for the purpose of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism. Sec. 2. Designation as a Domestic Terrorist Organization. Because of the aforementioned pattern of political violence designed to suppress lawful political activity and obstruct the rule of law, I hereby designate Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.” All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa provided material support [...]

Rather than permitting the Trump administration to frighten us out of resisting, we must understand this broad, vague, and performative executive order as an effort to intimidate.

It should catalyze us into urgent organizing, not paralyze us.

Only collective action can keep us safe and free.
