A few thoughts about the coming wave of epiphanies from supporters of Israel, and how they will try to whitewash their prior complicity and refusal to condemn the genocide.

"Buried within the kind of crony capitalist network that has propelled Trump’s imperialism is something far stranger, and far darker, than simply seizing Greenland’s resources for financial gain."

The Oligarchs Pushing for Conquest in Greenland
Trump’s fixation on filching the island territory from Denmark may seem like the demented ravings of a mad king. But to a cohort of plutocrat weirdos, it makes perfect sense.

I have dedicated my life to learning about and supporting Palestine for the past two years while still trying to keep up with all the rest of the insanity in the world, especially in the US. New for 2026 is posting a weekly update. Here's #2:

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good.

I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.

@mattpolprof.bsky.social I just finished reading TPTOLS and it was really enlightening. I’m curious to learn more about the overlap between Liberal Socialism and Democratic Socialism, to the extent the Venn diagram isn’t a circle.

I am calling for Wilmer’s immediate release from NWIPC—he has NO criminal convictions, he poses no threat to the community, and he urgently needs appropriate medical care since ICE is denying him the treatment he requires.

I am grateful for Wilmer’s willingness to let me share his story.

We know more about the massive military-style raid on a Chicago housing complex thanks to the reporting of @southsideweekly.bsky.social, @blockclubchi.bsky.social, and neighborhood resident Eboni Watson who chronicled the event. Among the emerging questions: what's real estate's role in this?

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.

Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military.

They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

@iris-meredith.bsky.social I found your essay from a repost by @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social and it was great, thanks! However I must have read your "working definition" of wank a dozen times and I just can't parse it. Please tell me there's a typo or a missing word so I know I'm not crazy.

It is insane that some are still talking about the casualties on October 7, when in *just the past four months* (since breaking the ceasefire), Israel has killed nearly 6x as many Palestinians as died on that day.
