If you listen to anyone this morning, let it be Gideon Levy. A phenomenal Israeli journalist who has been speaking truth to power for decades. Share his words. Far and Wide.


I stand for reproductive rights in the US, Gaza, & everywhere. I stand for women all over the globe who are affected by the US war machine. Join the letter to VP Kamala Harris to say genocide & war aren't feminist values! @codepink codepink.org/feminist2024?r…

Israeli spokesperson blames the massacre at the food convoys in Gaza on a "mob". The Channel4 anchor interrupts and asks: "When you say mob, do you mean starving people who have been deprived of food because you haven't let the aid in?" #CEASEFIRE_NOW

Wow, Lula isn't mincing words. Here's the translation: "What's happening in Gaza isn't a war, it's a genocide. It's not a war of soldiers against soldiers. It's a war between a highly trained army and women and children. What's happening in Gaza and with…

Happy to write this piece for @theprogressive about why Biden is promoting Keynesian increases in public investment at home while promoting fiscal austerity in developing economies abroad... @Jayati1609 @KevinPGallagher

The Chicago School has dominated fiscal policy in Washington for decades, prioritizing deficit-reduction over higher levels of public investment. Biden broke from The Chicago School’s policies but it stops at the U.S. border. #Economics #IMF progressive.org/milton-friedma…

Guns are banned at the NRA convention in Texas this weekend when Trump speaks. Let that sink in.

IMF chief says Ukraine needs $5b a month and it should be provided in grants, not IMF loans b/c IMF loans have conditionality. (?) So on annualized basis, that would be one-third of all aid money provided globally. wsj.com/articles/ukrai… via @WSJ

In his new book "Gangsters of Capitalism," @KatzOnEarth resurfaces the little-known story of a U.S. attempted coup waged by business leaders in 1934. Capitalists were vehemently opposed to the New Deal and tried to overthrow FDR to establish a fascist government.
