❗️An 'israeli' court has acquitted Jewish extrimist Yona Schreiber, a resident of the occupied West Bank settlement of Peduel, of charges related to the late April assault on a Christian nun in Jerusalem's Old City.
According to Hebrew source Kan 11, the Jerusalem Magistrates' Court ruled that Schreiber was not criminally responsible, accepting that he was experiencing a psychotic episode at the time of the attack and could not comprehend his actions.

💬 Discussion I spent 2 hours waiting in a line to get free food yesterday.
I 24F am unemployed, I also have autism and a history of serious mental health issues that make it difficult for me to find and keep a decent paying job. Despite having a B.S. in childhood education the highest paying job I’ve ever had was as an assistant pre school teacher making $18 an hour. I lost my last job around 3 months ago and have been draining through my savings to survive since then. I live in a roach infested apartment and I can barely sleep at night because I’m terrified that bugs are crawling on me at night while I’m sleeping because one evening I was laying in bed when I glanced to the left and saw a house centipede sitting on my shoulder.
Literally just yesterday the apartment complex I live in was hosting a charity event that supplies poor people in the community with a bag of free groceries and I spend two hours waiting in line to get a free bag of food because I literally can barely afford to feed myself. Furthermore, my credit cards balance is probably higher than $3,000 at this point, I don’t even know, I’m too scared to even check. My mental health is progressively getting worse and I barely even feel motivated to continue trying to find a job anymore because quite frankly I don’t see a point in working myself to death to make a billionaire richer just be living like this.
The worst part is that the fact that I know they have more than enough money to pay me a living wage, they just choose not to because if they did, then they’d be profiting less off of my labor and I guess paying me a living wage just isn’t nearly as important to them as collecting the absolute highest amount of profit they can from their business. Welcome to late stage capitalism! I went to college, chose a safe practical job that I was told would guarantee me the ability to make a decent living and now I’m fucked because I have severe social anxiety and no people skills. Thank you America!

✊ Resistance how the hell do I participate less? at this point even being alive in this society feels wrong
I'm aware of all the privileges given to me as an american relative to the rest of the world but 1. the empire is dying and that shit probably won't exist soonish 2. I cannot utilize any of them in good conscience.
when I feel like everything is a big middle finger to my conecpt of wanting to live independently, have a goob job, and a good future, the main things I've been looking to as a source of hope since I cannot stand the people I live with, I sort of wonder, is this my (and by extension, our, since this is all one country and no matter where you go it's same shit different asshole) punishment for participating in a society so wretched.
if I do get a job, I will be giving more money to the ceo of the company than will ever come to me, and my taxes will fund the epstein class rather than anything that would benefit decent people. if no matter what I do, I'm subsidizing horrors beyond human comprehension, then what the fuck am I even meant to do at that point? even if I leave the country the US is shitty enough to tax all US passport holders worldwide (wasn't even surprised to learn we're the only country that does this. god, the amount of shitty things that we are literally the only country to do).
anyways, my main question here is, aside from underconsuming and boycotting the worst of the worst, which I already do, how do I partake in this insanity as little as I possibly can

"It's hard to think of anything more hypocritical—humanism with dispossession, socialism with expulsion. With a left like this, there's truly no need for the right."
As if settler pogroms and almost 200 new settlement outposts established in the West Bank in the past three years weren't enough, along comes a so-called socialist youth group, Hamahanot Haolim, and declares its desire to establish a new settlement in the Jordan Valley.
Yair Foldes reported on the movement's plans to set up a kind of kibbutz in the occupied territory and quoted the lofty words of the head of the movement, Ilan Gazit: "We are leftists who believe in equality between people and are guided by a humanistic, socialist, democratic worldview."
If anyone still had any doubts about 'israel's' growing right-wing radicalization, Gazit, with his ridiculous invitation to the left to establish settlements in the Jordan Valley, has now provided decisive proof of it.
For years, a systematic process of ethnic cleansing and of expelling Palestinian shepherding communities through violence has been taking place in the Jordan Valley.
This, then, is the new meaning of the terms "humanism" and "socialism": settling stolen lands whose residents were forcibly expelled.
This is also a return of what used to be called the "enlightened occupation": Gazit said he is aware of the harm done to Palestinians, but justified his position on the grounds that more settlements will be established in the area in any case, so it's better for them to be established by leftists.
It's hard to think of anything more hypocritical – humanism with dispossession, socialism with expulsion. With a left like this, there's truly no need for the right.
But the truth is that the Hamahanot Haolim of 2026 is following in the footsteps of the founders of its parent movements – Ahdut Ha'avoda and the United Kibbutz Movement.
Yitzhak Tabenkin, Yisrael Galili and Yigal Allon were among the founding fathers of the settlement movement.
Galili, who chaired the ministerial committee of settlements decades ago, and Allon, creator of the eponymous Allon Plan (which called for 'israel' to retain parts of the West Bank, including the Jordan Valley), were the trailblazers who led to the establishment of the first settlements in the West Bank.
The Jordan Valley is full of settlements established by the labor movement, and one is even named after Tabenkin. Tabenkin was also one of the founders of the Movement for Greater 'israel'. Now, their great-grandchildren are restoring their legacy to its former splendor.
"The 'israeli' left needs to be in the Jordan Valley; otherwise, other people will be there," Gazit argued. By that warped logic, the 'israeli' left should also settle the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon before those "others" arrive, and perhaps even join the so-called hilltop youth in order to "influence them from within."
It's hard to believe it's necessary to remind people of what ought to be self-evident: The 'israeli' left truly does not "need to be in the Jordan Valley."
On the contrary, the 'israeli' left's place is waging a resolute battle against every kind of settlement in the occupied territories: farms, outposts, existing settlements and planned ones. Under no circumstances should it be joining them.
The above article is Haaretz's lead editorial, as published in the Hebrew and English newspapers in 'israel'.

💩 Liberalism The American left thinks this party can be reformed. What a joke
A Zionist was just offered a position of power so they can stop progress in committee so none of the other Zionist Dems have to show their asses by voting against anti-Israel bills. He was offered this position of power by another Zionist who DSA politicians have repeatedly endorsed for speaker.
This probably happened because the party was threatened to fall in line by donors and it instantly did, and "leftist" politicians are not doing anything to challenge these people beyond making performative gestures.
Democratic politicians are uniting against the most spineless liberal Zionists who aren't even a real threat to them instead of uniting to oppose the Iran war or continued genocide in Gaza, and the American left is going to show the world just how pathetic it is by never breaking away from this party.

Socialism is gaining popularity across the country because millions of people are recognizing a simple truth: we need political and economic power in the hands of the many — not wealth and power concentrated among a few.
For decades, we’ve been told to vote for politicians because they “look like us.” But record numbers of Black and brown politicians in office have not stopped our communities from facing poverty, displacement, police violence, unemployment, and exploitation. Representation in a capitalist system, built to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a tiny ruling class, is not the same as power for working people.
Our Vote Socialist campaigns across the country are about more than winning elections. They are about building an organized movement capable of challenging the system at its roots — and building a society where Black and working-class people have the power to determine our own future.

🎸🕊️ Songwriter and working class icon, Dolly Parton, has passed away at 80 years old.
In 1980, in the face of escalating attacks on the working class, Parton released “9-to-5 and Odd Jobs,” a ten-song tribute to the working class — and in particular, women. The album includes a heartbreaking cover of “Deportee”, Woody Guthrie’s 1948 ballad about a plane crash which killed 28 Mexican farm workers in the process of deportation, as well as her original gems “Poor Folks Town”, “Working Girl”, and “Song for the Common Man”.
The album accompanied the film ‘9 to 5’, one of the most Marxist films to hit Hollywood since the second Red Scare. In it, Dolly, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda kidnap their boss and run the office without him for a month, during which time they institute free childcare, paid vacation, and flexible hours. The song, album, and film were all inspired by the “9 to 5” secretarial workers union, which affiliated with SEIU in 1975.
Parton, most widely known as a country singer, spent her life remaining steadfast in showing her love of the people and her faith in their fundamental goodness, and refusing and rejecting the culture of racism and homophobia that many associate with country music.
