It may very well finally change, especially in the US, but the last two years have demonstrated that in both America and Germany the multi-partisan consensus is that Israel ought to have free rein to do as it pleases and for as long as it pleases. Cursory disagreement on how to present it at best.

After two years it is no question in my mind that there is essentially no red line for the US or Germany.

Van Jones — seen here laughing at the term “dead Gaza baby” — lives in Los Angeles, btw. if you see him trying to grift off some local progressive event for speaking fees or whatever the fuck it is he does, you should tell Mr. “Love Army” exactly how you feel about that

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 4d

As Israel continues the genocidal onslaught, Van Jones just blamed Iran/Qatar “disinformation” for why the world has turned on Israel — and ignores Bibi’s recent admission they plan to take over and weaponize TikTok themselves.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

msf.org/msf-denounce...

This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza.

All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers.
We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah.

Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.

This Is the Kind of Overregulation that Makes New York

The city council's plan to require plumbers to install all gas appliances in the city is an obstacle to Zohran Mamdani's pledge to freeze rents
JOSH BARRO
SEP 30, 2025
Dear readers,
Last week, the New York City Council passed, by a vote of 47 to 1, a bill that would require installation of all gas-powered appliances to be completed by a master plumber, or a
journeyman plumber working under their direct supervision — even where a new appliance is being installed in the same location as an old appliance with no change to the gas line. These

An insane question just now on The View calling Zohran “inflammatory” for naming Israel as an apartheid state, resulted in the audience applauding Zohran for calling the horrors in Gaza a genocide.
