"This Week in Palestine: Israeli Settlers Kill With Impunity, Israeli Soldiers Rape With Impunity"
Zeteo's new weekly round-up of the stories you may have missed out of occupied Gaza and the West Bank, as Israel continues its genocidal war and apartheid policies.
Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets. This is why we need to make sure that on March 28 โ two weeks from todayโ we march across America in the largest demonstration in the nationโs history. NoKings.org
TRUMP: โDrain the swamp!โ
REALITY: The Swamp has never been more full. He is the Swampiest Swamp Monster who ever did Swamp.

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet sheโd feel so much better about all this
The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

The entire profession needs to stand united against this.
Former Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant: "We need to strike and eliminate everything in Dahiya, Baalbek, Tyre, Sidon, Nabatieh, everywhereโฆ for every bomb Israel drops, the Americans drop 2-3โฆโ
We cannot stop mass deportations without seriously reckoning with the American obsession with arrests and prosecutions.
Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile...
Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts.
And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets.
War is a racket.
And who just gave this corporation a pardon?
Donald Trump.
Utility safety concerns about plug-in solar panels prompted 5 states to delay votes on enabling legislation. Germany has 1.2 million balcony solar panels registered with no safety problems reported. Here's my @npr.org story: www.npr.org/2026/03/12/n...
Damn. That is an impressive amount of will.
Tweet by Aaron Rupar quoting House Speaker Mike Johnson saying Republicans had a โhiccupโ with Latino and Hispanic voters due to immigration enforcement being seen as overzealous, adding they are in โcourse-correction mode.โ The image shows Johnson speaking at an event with a C-SPAN broadcast graphic.
I'm sorry, did he call the last 14 months of ICE abuses and murders a โlittle hiccupโ?

And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Policy experts say new SNAP changes don't address the challenges faced by single parents. They also argue that losing food assistance will only create more barriers for struggling families. n.pr/40Zw63G
After slashing SNAP & Medicaid, Trump is using his Iran War to line the pockets of military contractors.
I'm reminded of the words of MLK:
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
Three news reports over the weekend show we are nowhere near the end of what the Epstein files still can reveal. Key details from a victim corroborated, a cover-up in plain sight, and sketchy cash payments all raise big questions. My write-up in the replies.
If you REALLY want to understand this crazy, just understand that the man in the oval office is a prosperity gospel evangelist.. always ready to take your money and sell you fake miracles.
I feel like it has fallen off the collective radar too because the radar is clogged with 280,000 other dots.
But weโre still here. Weโre following the court cases and federal rules and state legislatures. The number of us who follow repro issues exclusively is small but mighty.
Iโve been covering abortion access since 2015, and Iโve never experienced the kind of fervor that I witnessed outside a clinic in North Carolina: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Tweet by Senator Patty Murray criticizing Trumpโs Iran war, saying the narrative has shifted from โthis isnโt a warโ to fighting until unconditional surrender while Americans die and prices rise, arguing Congress must stop it.
Vote in the midterms like your childrenโs and grandchildrenโs lives depend on it. Because they do.
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Vance, 9/28/24:
Screenshot of an X post by HasanAbi commenting on how to discuss trans issues with median voters. The post quotes Marco Foster, who says the anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to distract from tax discussions and notes that very few trans kids compete in high school sports there. Below is a podcast-style video still of a man speaking into a microphone.
When you hear them target any vulnerable communityโimmigrants, trans people, refugeesโask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.
