The rogue apartheid state, not content w the genocide and total destruction of Gaza, is now violently annexing the West Bank.
In Jenin, in the West Bank, yesterday, “Israel” expelled a Palestinian family and beat its members during the demolition of their homes.
In just 40 days in 2026, more than 900 Palestinians have been driven from their homes.

When I hear people say that Trump hasn't accomplished much (an argument that comes from both the center and the left) it is mind-boggling. In one year they have destroyed the foundation of climate regulation, crippled the public health system, and brought immigration to a standstill.

yea sorry, but this paragraph is also shit, because it reduces “the ruling class” to “capitalists”, and omitting what chomsky himself said about the abuse of women. this is not only about capitalism, it is also about patriarchy. chomsky wasn’t just seduced by the ruling class, he is a man.
This is the definitive point by Chris Hedges, re: Noam Chomsky and Epstein. Chomsky's entire value as a public intellectual is to know what people like Epstein are up to and why. Him feigning ignorance is absurd, and if it were true it would undermine the rest of his career.

what authority would be over them? they just overthrew the civilian government, and the law was left behind long ago. who stops them?

if you are looking at Trump's plans to steal the '26 midterm and saying to yourself "Trump can't do that" you must ask yourself "who will stop him?"
and if your answer is the military, you are *also* predicting a coup to end democracy in the United States, you're just predicting a different coup

a desperate meme is spreading on the Jewish right which attempts to trace contemporary Jewish anti-Zionism to the USSR and specifically to Stalin.
this is funny because the largest anti-Zionist group in Jewish history is the Bund. the Bund actually has a bit role in the origin story of the USSR:

So the official position of the white supremacist government is, unsurprisingly, that “race is a biological reality.”
Apparently, not believing this is “insane.”
Important to note that for fascists, ALL the identity categories (race, sex, etc.) have to be “real” and frozen so they can manage them
