He’s the single worst Democratic hopeful now (almost) running for president. Democratic midterm candidates be warned: stay away from him.

I don't know much about Reich but he's dead right on this analysis of Rahm Emanuel "gatekeeper to the large-donor caste." His main role is selling pro-billionaire rightwing policy to Dems and raising Zionist money. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-b...

Money for Nothing: What's up with Chicago's Superstation to Nowhere?

Remember how Rahm Emanuel and Elon Musk sold us a pipe dream that cost taxpayers millions? The lot/money pit still sits under Chicago, but Emanuel moved on and Elon Musk (who famously bragged that he had no problem raising money) lost interest. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/m...

NBC 5 Investigates first revealed the details of this mysterious structure in this story, which we reported on nearly a decade ago.

Fishermen in the Caribbean and Iranian school children beg to differ that Hegseth's Crusade isn't about killing. But then, Americans rather tend to think only of their interests. This is why Democrats laugh at the Department of War and say, come on, you're not even killing efficiently.

I met with a brilliant scholar from Switzerland of Islamic Theology working on Conflict Resolution. It made my Friday evening to discuss her and my work. I must say I miss being in a research community and I really miss living in Europe and small countries.

Israel Wants to Build “Greater Israel” as America Steps Back From the Middle East

"The language changes according to the front. In Gaza, the justification is Hamas. In Lebanon, it is Hezbollah. In Syria, it was Iran, Hezbollah, Assad and now increasingly Turkey or whatever armed formation Israel decides may become dangerous in the future." and so on. substack.com/home/post/p-...

From Gaza and the West Bank to Lebanon and Iran, Israel’s expansionist project is colliding with a regional order that Washington may no longer be willing to sustain.

It deeply troubles me that Islamophobia can often feel normalized or accepted, while antisemitism receives significant institutional attention and resources to combat it. I believe that both forms of hatred should be taken seriously. At the same time, criticism of the Israeli government

Sorry calling it a 'genocide' makes some people feel unsafe, but yet another journalist was murdered by Israel in Gaza, by a bombing attack on a refugee camp. This is his grieving family.

Salah, who is being targeted for speech on Palestine, has a green card and has lived in the U.S. for 30 years. Deporting him to the West Bank “means the end of my life.” If deported, he will likely be targeted by one of those fanatical West Bank settler killers.

Can someone recommend a documentary film for undergraduates (with little advance knowledge) on the U.S. invasion and occupation of Vietnam?

For the six survivors of Israel’s pager attack, there is no single answer. For some, healing has come through faith. For others, through motherhood, through love, through returning to the struggle. Their stories are shared in Arabic & English in our photo series, ‘Surviving the Pager Massacre.’

Yoni Goldstein in a Canadian newspaper calls upon the Jewish community to k1ll Avi Lewis. Apparently telling your community that genocide is wrong is to endanger it. The genocide itself doesn't endanger them, but naming it does? Does Goldstein think we are blind that we need Lewis to name it?
