Do the following mental exercise: communism wins in the 1990s and North America is excited to embrace this efficient and free way to run the world. The Soviet Union promises that the Warsaw Pact is a thing of the past. We are all communists now, no need to create divisions.

Why won't Israel release the full video of the aid convoy in Gaza as its troops shot and killed some of the Palestinians seeking food? 'The video released by the IDF is not one single sequence. It has been edited into four sections.' bbc.com/news/world-mid…

Gaslighting from the highest level. Airdropping aid is a last resort when territories are blockaded by enemies (think Berlin airlift) or natural disaster has cut off roads. Not when you're too lazy, browbeaten and cowardly to tell an utterly dependent ally to cut the crap.

Biden didn’t fight for $16 billion to mitigate the childcare crisis, but did push for $16.5 billion for Israel’s war in Gaza, which has killed over 12,500 children, writes Stephen Semler in a story supported by Economic Hardship Reporting Project.

Senior Tory MPs urged on by powerful right-wing newspapers are now running a campaign to label peaceful protesters, and especially those from the Muslim community, as a threat to our democracy.

This is an increasingly dangerous moment.

The Prime Minister must speak out.

But

This is a revolutionary idea in Washington foreign policy circles.

So our allies are never wrong about their security decisions?
