Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

Israel y EEUU llaman “ayuda humanitaria” a disparar a niños que buscan comida. Médicos Sin Fronteras lo denuncia: distribución militarizada, heridos con precisión quirúrgica, estampidas, muerte. Esto no es ayuda. Es una masacre. #ObservatorioFundLaCaixa ctxt.es/es/20250801/...

⚡️NEW: A Pro-Israel Nonprofit is Funneling News Content Through Bari Weiss’s "Free Press" As Weiss eyes a deal with CBS, much of her Middle East coverage comes from “Center for Peace Communications,” @mazmhussain.bsky.social and @ryangrim.bsky.social report. www.dropsitenews.com/p/the-free-p...

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

a simple reminder that Bret Stephens once wrote a column describing hatred of Israel as a “disease of the Arab mind” and got hired by the Times AFTER that

Ione Belarra @ionebelarra Israel está matando de hambre a 2 millones de personas.

“85% of Gaza’s population have entered the ‘fifth stage’ of malnutrition — the most critical and dangerous phase, which is often irreversible even if food becomes available in the future,” says Palestinian reporter Anas al-Sharif.

London High Court upholds order that critics say puts the group’s anti-Gaza war protesters on a par with al-Qaeda, ISIL.

In the aftermath of Trump’s bombing of Iran, we say what we’ve always said: we will not be silent while the U.S. empire trades in death to consolidate power.

Israeli bombs left this massive crater where Palestinian tents stood moments before. A direct hit on the displaced.

hey @nytimes.com what if instead of this you reported accurately that the president of the united states has violated the united states constitution by entering into war with a foreign power without the approval of congress, just like, what if

So... what are the Dems going to do now that Trump says we have bombed Iran?

Everyone running for public office needs to unequivocally say whether they support Trump’s attacks on Iran — attacks which put hundreds of millions of lives at risk. My answer is an unequivocal NO and there’s no excuse for a candidate to say anything different.

¿CUÁNTOS 'SIN PRECEDENTES' PUEDE SOPORTAR GAZA?

❗ El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores alemán, Johann Wadephul, ha dejado claro este lunes a su homólogo español, José Manuel Albares, que Alemania seguirá suministrando armamento a Israel

If the concept of consent would kill an industry, that industry should not exist in the first place. This is not even a debate.

#Gaza se enfrente a la peor crisis humanitaria desde octubre de 2023. La intensificación de los bombardeos israelíes ha causado cientos de víctimas y desplazamientos masivos en los últimos días. Ningún lugar es seguro.

Republicans in Congress really want to take food out of the mouths of hungry children and medicine away from the sick to fund tax cuts for people who don't need them. Tell your Senators: Vote NO on the Trump budget.

Netanyahu reconoce ahora que permitió que Qatar financiase a Hamás para dividir a los palestinos www.eldiario.es/internaciona...

Such a fucking false equivalency. These two were actively running political cover for the fucking genocide and had social media posts explicitly in support of it. This was targeted, not indiscriminate. Meanwhile 400,000 Palestinians are dead. The vast majority having no direct ties to Hamas.

Esta es mi gente. Las personas que me criaron, jugaron conmigo,me amaron.Y las están bombardeando y matando de hambre –lenta, deliberadamente–mientras el mundo debate sobre Eurovisión y da la bienvenida a quienes financian su destrucción.

many perfectly shit people will never do even one thing in their whole lives half as shameful as the job Marc Tracy did here defector.com/the-new-york...

The Israeli government no longer even pretends this is about self-defense. It's about ethnic cleansing. Democratic Congressional leaders, however, still insist Trump is right to continue providing Netanyahu with unconditional military aid to finish the job.

Sometimes they seem to pose for the camera.

They used to do this covertly, but now that they're trying to make free speech illegal, they have to make it clear. Actual antisemitism won't be policed. Criticism of Israel will be. And considering the age we're in, it's not just that. *All* dissent will be policed. That's what this really is.

REPORT: Biden Officials Admit They Never Pressured Israel for Ceasefire, as Israeli Leaders Boast of Playing Washington Here’s what the investigation revealed: 🧵⬇️

The horrific anti-Palestinian violence we saw in Brooklyn this weekend — a pro-Israeli government mob beating, chasing, and harassing anti-genocide activists, all while the NYPD was largely absent — is the inevitable result of this type of policy which criminalizes support of Palestinian freedom.

The U.S. pays 17,900,000,000 in federal tax dollars for the Israeli military’s weapons, but could instead fund:
