What to watch: The White House has believed a deal was imminent at several points during the conflict, only to see negotiations break down again

Under my regime we will have 15 Minute Missile Cities
Jun 12
“For 40 days, US and Israeli aircraft pounded the mountains around Yazd, trying to silence one of Iran’s most important military projects: a buried missile complex carved deep into the granite above the ancient desert city.
Yet, according to residents, the Iranian missiles kept firing regardless. “US and Israeli forces kept bombing those mountains,” said one resident of Yazd. “And Iran kept launching missiles until the final moments before the ceasefire.”

Its not a big deal right now, but if you want to be on the winning side of a revolution I dont think you'd want to declare the entire current and former population of armed service members to be permanently tainted with a highly contagious hitlervirus, you probably need them

Unbelievably vivid. Seattle passed the "Legalize $700k Condos Act", Bellevue passed the "Condos are Illegal, Mandatory $3m SFHs Act". There's the answer.

This Bellevue-Seattle listings comparison is an unbelievably vivid YIMBY map
In Seattle, people ask how legalizing all these $700k condos makes housing far more affordable
In Bellevue, those condos are illegal & instead they mandate $3M single family homes. There's the answer

The elephant in the room is always The Socdem Question. Obviously I wouldn't argue "America is on the brink of revolution yet the proletariat is under social democratic hypnosis" but we gotta draw the line somewhere here guys
The left does not suffer from a lack of courage. It suffers from a lack of realism. In this major essay, Ewan Ben (@EwanBen) argues that the socialist movement must abandon idealized models of class, party, and programme, and begin again from the real composition of the working class today.
Through an in-depth analysis of the structure of political analysis in Marxism, Ewan proposes a Marxism that derives from the living encounter with present conditions.

This needs to be spoken of more. I imagine there's lots of people out there who see the destruction in Gaza and just assume it was produced through 2 sides fighting on the ground. Hardly anyone knows the extent to which the iof carried out systemic controlled demolitions

Jokes aside this was genuinely radicalizing for me at the time. I was still a socdem & probably had never even heard the word bourgeoisie but I had 0 doubt in my mind Juul was being destroyed by the state at the behest of big tobacco and id still stand by that
JUUL was the Saddam Hussein of the vape industry. It got absolutely brutalized by the government for flavors that “appealed to kids” (RIP Mango) just for every gas station to become infested with unregulated Chinese disposables that come in pastel colors and have flavors like “Willy Wonka bubblegum sugar delight”

Bezalel Smotrich is a far-right extremist whose hateful and divisive rhetoric is fundamentally at odds with the values we hold dear in New York.
Yesterday’s parade was a celebration of Jewish pride, community, and unity. I strongly condemn his participation.

The average liberal wants you to think the reason you can’t have Nice Things is because your city doesn’t meet the means testing criteria for Nice Things. Instead of the truth, which is that infrastructure will only be built if serves the needs of Capital.
Torontonians feel entitled to Seoul-level public infrastructure, for a city with Philadelphia-level density.

It is funny that the SFDSA rightists have effectively castrated themselves with cbt in supporting Connie, almost exclusively out of petty grievances vis a vis Saikat

let's say that a freelance writer wrote this, idc enough to look, & let's say they were paid $2/word. there is a human being on Earth who was paid $128 to write this shit. $128 is about the average bi-monthly income in Burundi, or 4 hours wages on average in the US

Former Israeli soldier Alex Miller, 23, died by suicide in Miami after reportedly struggling with trauma from a 2022 West Bank attack in which he was wounded and the later death of a close friend in Gaza.
