At the leadership level anyway the two parties are "represents billionaires with openly racist beliefs" and "represents billionaires who have mostly submerged their racist and genocidal beliefs." Which is why you can't get any party leadership to sign up for transformative change the people want.

The United Nations HQ in Manhattan isn't part of the US, which ceded it in the 1940s: it's sovereign territory of the UN. Netanyahu is wanted for war crimes so it's the responsibility of the UN & its Secretary General, António Guterres, to arrest him & send him to the ICC in the Hague for trial.

It never stops hitting me the way that, in mainstream circles, naming Republican violence as such is treated as a present danger of political violence, while the actual violence being acted in our streets by Republicans is treated as something we need to convince them intellectually not to do.

💥 #BREAKING | Former Israeli leaders including ex PM & IDF chief of staff issue a statement supporting the sanctions on settlers "This decision is precisely what the State of Israel should have received in order to remove the disgrace of Jewish terrorism from the face of the country"
Statement
September 9, 2026
Acts of violence against Palestinians by a large settler population in the West Bank, the burning of their property, harm to their olive groves, the theft of their livestock, which is their source of livelihood, and attempts to demolish homes and expel their residents—all these constitute an effort at ethnic cleansing taking place in territories whose administration the State of Israel is responsible for.
The failure of the police, the army, and the security services to prevent the Jewish terror is exposed for all to see. The government's refusal to use administrative detention against Jews, and the extreme statements by government ministers—among them Defense Minister Israel Katz, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich—undoubtedly encourage Jewish terrorism in the territories. The position of the prime minister, his refusal to condemn these acts of terrorism, and the backing he gives to ministers and officials who refrain from taking action against Jewish terrorism constitute an inspiration that encourages its expansion.
Under these circumstances, sanctions against Jewish terrorists, and not against the State of Israel, as British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced yesterday, are an inevitable consequence of the Jewish terror and the failures of the government and the security bodies that do not prevent them.
There is no basis to the government's response that the decision to impose sanctions against Jewish terrorists is an expression of antisemitism. This decision is precisely what the State of Israel should have received in order to remove the disgrace of Jewish terrorism from the face of the country.

Starbucks Workers United @sbworkersunited.org · 25/08/2026
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
BOYCOTT STARBUCKS is written inside a zig-zaggy speech bubble against crumbled paper. Beside it are the Starbucks Workers United logo and an image of a coffee cup being poured out.We, the 12,000 and growing members of Starbucks Workers United, call on everyone who stands with working people to boycott Starbucks until they finalize a contract with union baristas and stop union-busting.
What we’re fighting for is simple: a minimum $17/hr wage, enough hours to live on, better staffing in our stores, and basic workplace protections. Every year, our living costs rise but our wages don’t keep up – a growing pressure many American workers are feeling as corporate greed accelerates unchecked in our country. 
Starbucks is banking on customers' blind loyalty to the integrity and values this company once stood for in order to keep squeezing them for profits. At a time when working-class people across the country are struggling in a challenging economy, it is no longer possible to be both a Starbucks customer and in support of workers; choosing to spend money at Starbucks is choosing a law breaking corporation over the baristas who make your coffee everyday exactly as you ask for it.
Starbucks has violated U.S. labor law more than any other company in modern history–the NLRB and its judges have found that Starbucks committed hundreds of labor violations and there are currently more than 550 unresolved unfair labor practice charges still pending against the company. Instead of finalizing a fair and reasonable union contract, Starbucks has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care for the workers who fuel the company’s profits by wasting millions of dollars on AI and technology that doesn’t work, launching countless gimmicky drinks designed to distract from real problems, and inventing pointless policies that do nothing but make our jobs harder. 
This ongoing, irrational behavior by Starbucks and its refusal to settle a fair union contract with workers leaves us with no other choice than to call for a boycott. We know when working people stand up together, we win. 
No Contract? No Coffee.
