in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

This is what it’s like to be Palestinian: Israel threatening you with “severe consequences” if you express any joy at the homecoming of your loved ones from captivity in Israeli prisons, where they’ve been tortured for decades.

Al Jazeera English @aljazeera.com · 22h

While Israelis celebrated the return of captives from Gaza, Israel warned Palestinian families against holding celebrations over the return of prisoners – some who had been held for decades. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh explains.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

The Gaza holocaust will be a litmus test for high-profile figures for decades. Everyone's comments or lack thereof on Israel's genocidal atrocities will be looked up and amplified whenever their name rises to public attention.

Trump is building on the police state for which Biden played his own key role.

"Signing a measure that usurps power from a majority-Black council in a city where roughly half the population is Black is a reminder of Biden’s reckless history on crime."

Biden quietly signs one of his term's most harmful and oppressive measures yet

The president's support for overturning criminal justice reforms in Washington, D.C., spoke volumes, even as he and the White House remained quiet.

🇦🇷The Argentina Bailout: Who Really Benefits?

The Trump administration just finalized a $20 billion financial rescue for Argentina, but critics suggest it’s really a bailout for Wall Street hedge funds.

📌 How the $20 Billion Works
🔸The package has three components:

💰The Wall Street Connection:
Major U.S. investors — BlackRock, Fidelity, PIMCO, and billionaires Stan Druckenmiller and Robert Citrone, all heavy holders of Argentine debt — stand to gain the most. Citrone, a former Soros colleague of Bessent, reportedly urged intervention as Argentine bonds risked default. The deal now shields those bets with U.S. support.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and seven other Democrats have moved to block the package, warning that it privatizes profits while socializing losses — echoing 2008’s bailout dynamics. They say they are investigating whether hedge funds influenced the Treasury’s decision.

🌾 Domestic Fallout
U.S. soybean farmers say the plan rewards Argentina’s export surge while undercutting their prices. Watch Breaking Points (

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

"Why aren't the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?"

If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he'll attack the kid again.
