Venezuela brings free heating oil to poor in NY

Venezuela's president, Hugo Chavez may be a pariah in Washington, but on Friday the U.S. arm of the country's state oil company loaded up a truck of heating oil for poor Americans in New York City.

A year-old “ceasefire” is being upheld in Lebanon despite almost daily Israeli military strikes. The Trump administration can still prevent the fragile truce from falling apart, but only if it forces Israel to follow the agreement.

I wish the Democrats would runs ads showing that Halloween bash Trump just hosted while pointing out that he hasn't released the contingency funds for SNAP. When it comes to using the media to influence thinking, the Republicans have proven to be way better at it.

Never fails to amaze me how Bernardo Silva has been in our league for years and has never had articles written about what an absolute shithouse he is.

Sneaky late challenges, dives, stud rakes, dissent, the absolute bingo card of stuff the press clutch their pearls about, but nothing.

Yesterday my 90yr old disabled aunt was supposed to receive her food stamps. She didn't get them, like most other poor Americans didn't. I know MAGA are very happy about this. /END

She has no formal education, none of my maternal older relatives did or do. She & my mother & their younger sister were taken out of elementary school in Brazil to work as domestic maids & then worked in textile factories here in Mass. /2

My 90yr old disabled aunt receives $115 in SNAP food stamps per month. She lives on $15,000 a year (soc security & a tiny pension). She worked from the age of 13 to age 71. MAGA tells me she's lazy & should go back to work. /1

Israel’s repeated ceasefire violations are part of its strategy to keep waging genocide on Gaza.

Terrific set piece goal from Gyokeres. And that was great open play but Burnley successfully prevent us from scoring. Don't tell me Arsenal don't do open play football. #BURARS

On October 31, 1946, the zionist terror gang, Irgun, bombed the British embassy in Rome. Irgun's leader, Menachem Begin, went on to become Israel's prime minister /1

Quite worried about this game. Arsenal's record is notoriously terrible in November. I'll be nervous for each one of our games this month. #BURARS

Civil society should be resisting Trump’s authoritarianism. It’s succumbing to it instead.

The Collapse of American Diplomacy: From Strategic Statecraft to Political Spectacle

US actions on Ukraine and elsewhere lay bare the incoherence of American diplomacy and the undermining of its credibility by allies, neutral states and adversaries alike.
