Scott Wiener criminalized nudity in SF. He was on a crusade to transform the Castro into an upscale condo and tourist destination, and the naked people were a little too ... queer for him. They were a relic of the hippie and Harvey Milk era.

Healthcare costs are projected to rise 9% in 2027, the most in nearly two decades.

💥Itamar Ben Gvir, a man indicted over 53 times for crimes ranging from hate violence to terror, and convicted 13 times before Netanyahu made him a top minister– he's cancelled his US junket because of difficulties obtaining a visa. @yosimiz1

Hamas is worse than Israel ideologically and literally

A group of 40–50 settler terrorists torched a mosque with people inside and several cars in the West Bank. How could the IDF have missed 40 young men on their way to attack a village? In fact, they couldn't have. They must have chosen to let it happen.

🚨 BREAKING : Khalil Jamil Al-Masri has died from the injuries he sustained after being shot by an Israeli quadcopter drone while sitting at a cafe in Gaza.

I$rael once again sprayed cancer-linked chemicals on agricultural land in south Lebanon on Friday, an act condemned as a war crime and a bid to make the border region uninhabitable Our report from the ground

The Board of Deputies of British Jews welcomes today’s decision by the Court of Appeal to uphold the Government's proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

The BBC is at it again. Dahiye is not simply “where Hezb0llah is based.” It is home to 500,000–800,000 people. It’s where families live, where friends meet in cafés and restaurants, where people work, shop, study, and build their lives. The choice of language is deliberate, dehumanising an entire community to justify I$raeli attacks on civilians. Shameful

No one actually knows what’s in Trump’s deal with Iran since the administration refuses to release the text, but here’s what I would like to hear Democrats say about what we know based on news reports: ✅Ending the war immediately and reopening the Strait is the best available outcome. Every day Trump delayed would’ve made things worse. ✅Trump lost the war to Iran. Iran now knows it can control the Strait of Hormuz at any time and cripple the global economy. ✅Trump achieved none of his core objectives: Iran still possesses its highly enriched uranium, most of its ballistic missile and drone arsenal, and will almost certainly continue to support proxy groups. ✅The US/Israeli regime change strikes were a disaster for the Iranian people. Iran now has a younger, hard-line Supreme Leader and a more powerful IRGC in place. ✅If the reports about the unfreezing of assets/sanctions relief/reconstruction fund are true, Iran will have access to far more money than it ever got from the JCPOA. ✅Trump could have had a strengthened JCPOA-like deal through negotiations. He was just too impatient to try, and his team was too inexperienced to understand what was on the tabl ✅America did enormous damage to its standing in the world and real harm to poor and developing economies all over the world, which will still face fuel crises and potential famine in the foreseeable future as a direct result of the war. ✅We still don’t know the full scope of the damage to US military bases in the Middle East because the Pentagon is covering them up, but it's safe to estimate this disaster could cost up to $100B in direct costs. ✅Democrats should be skeptical of every claim this administration makes about what's in the deal, and whether Iran follows up. Trump wants this humiliation to go away and change the subject. The result would be an emboldened Iran with de facto control of the Strait. The reason I want to hear Democrats making all of these arguments is because the narrative around this conflict will be set in the coming weeks, and we need to kill off for good this insane, hawkish neocon/FDD worldview that the US can bomb its way to peace.

The Lady Chief Justice: Palestine Action was not a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes, but used violence to destroy property The suffragettes burned down country houses & train stations, bombed churches & sent letter bombs to politicians.

New: The NYT is reviewing Nick Kristof's columns after he failed to disclose ex donor ties in a series of columns. When Kristof returned to the paper after a failed bid for governor of Oregon, the NYT said he would disclose financial ties when writing about former donors.
