A New Far-Right American Party?

"There are always worse political figures waiting in the wings. In Israel, for instance, Benjamin Netanyahu is a relative moderate compared to some members of his cabinet, like Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who believes that letting two million Palestinians die of hunger in Gaza is “justified and moral.” In Russia, ultranationalists to the right of More

Ο Νετανιάχου πέρασε (δις) ανενόχλητος από την Ελλάδα παρά το ένταλμα σύλληψης - @reporters_gr

reportersunited.gr/16972/netan…

Η κυβέρνηση Μητσοτάκη επέτρεψε στον πρωθυπουργό του Ισραήλ να χρησιμοποιήσει τον εναέριο χώρο της Ελλάδας για να ταξιδέψει στις ΗΠΑ. Κι αυτό, παρά το ένταλμα σύλληψης του Διεθνούς Ποινικού Δικαστηρίου, το οποίο υποχρεώνει την ελληνική κυβέρνηση να συλλάβει τον Νετανιάχου για εγκλήματα πολέμου στη Γάζα. Εξηγήσεις ζητά από την κυβέρνηση η Ειδική Εισηγήτρια του ΟΗΕ – αφωνία από το Μαξίμου στο ερώτημα του Reporters United.

Israeli ultra-orthodox party leaves Netanyahu government
Israel’s ultra-orthodox party, Degel HaTorah, says its Knesset members have resigned from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

The move comes over a dispute on the failure to draft a bill to exempt students of Yeshiva, educational institutions focused on the study of traditional Jewish religious texts, from military service, it said in a statement.

Rosy Skies Are Rare

"Despite the hot sun, few Americans were wearing rose-colored glasses these days, but rather fear dark clouds ahead. Many feel worried, even despairing. But sometimes they could rejoice at bright spots. The victory of Zohran Mamdani in my home town, with an amazingly courageous, even defiant platform, is causing the wealthy spenders to move heaven More

This is a #graphic that I came up with a few years ago. It has the slogan in 7 languages: #Spanish, #Arabic, #Hebrew, #English, #Esperanto, #Farsi, and #French.

I just had a vendor on Etsy make me a few #tshirts with it, and if you want one for yourself let me know. (I don't make or sell them, only the vendor does.)

IDF Reiterates Ban on #Gazans Entering the Sea, Last Remaining Source of Relief for Many Palestinians

[unbelieveable]

The #IDF reiterated its wartime ban on entering the Mediterranean Sea yesterday, warning that swimming could 'endanger' lives. #Palestinians in #Gaza say the sea was their last reprieve from #Israel destructive military campaign, as well as one of the few places to bathe or escape heat

"In the dark halls of the museum that is now what remains of Auschwitz, I see a heap of children's shoes, or something like that, something I have already seen elsewhere, under a Christmas tree, for instance, dolls I believe. The abjection of Nazi crime reaches its apex when death, which, in any case, kills me, interferes with what, in my living universe, is supposed to save me from death: childhood, science, among other things."

Gaza and the West Bank, Two Fronts of Dispossession
counterpunch.org/2025/07/15/ga…

"While global attention remains fixed—yet helpless—by the horrors of the genocide in Gaza, a quieter but equally bedeviled Israeli plan is being implemented in the occupied West Bank. Under the fog of war, and aided by a willful placid Western media—Israel has intensified a second front of dispossession: bulldozing homes, and displacing families to

"I didn’t want to write this article. In fact, I had something relatively uplifting planned: an Independence Day piece about the rich implications for the present moment to be found in the Declaration of Independence. But other excellent writers beat me to that one. So instead, I reluctantly find myself once again focusing on U.S.

Real and Fake Antidotes to Trump’s Latest tariffs, Seen From South Africa

Dans le navigateur Edge de Microsoft, il semblerait que Microsoft ait activé CoPilot pour vous aider à remplir les formulaires. Ce qui veut dire que MICROSOFT REÇOIT EN TEMPS RÉEL CE QUE VOUS TAPEZ DANS N'IMPORTE QUEL FORMULAIRE, sur n'importe quel site web.

Je ne comprends pas que la CNIL ne descende pas immédiatement Microsoft en flammes pour violation directe du RGPD.

Did you know that Microsoft just turns Copilot writing assist on for webpages in Microsoft Edge?
So like, if you type in edit boxes, it just... gets sent to Microsoft? Straight up?
And this is enabled by default?
So first, what the actual hell? Second, why is nobody talking about this? How the hell is right now the first time I find out about this?

“Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says for the next couple of years ‘we need more people leaving than coming’ into Canada.”

“Poilievre said this move could help housing, health care and jobs ‘catch up,’ but he did not elaborate on how he would ensure more people leave the country.”

"El alcalde de #TorrePacheco está diciendo que tiene un problema de delincuencia. Pues vamos a los datos.

Datos de 2024. Torre Pacheco tiene una tasa de 48 delitos por cada 1.000 habitantes, que es justo la media nacional. La misma, que es de 48 delitos por cada 1.000 habitantes.

Para que pongáis en perspectica. En Madrid la tasa es de 62 delitos por cada 1000 hb, en Barcelona es de 68 por cada 1000 hb, en Valencia es de 50 y en Sevilla es de 54. Es decir, Torre Pacheco es más seguro que las grandes ciudades.

Pero si lo comparamos con Murcia es de 51 delitos por cada 1000 habitantes.

Ahora vamos por la tasa de inmigración.

En Torre Pacheco la tasa de inmigración es del 30%, cuando en Murcia es del 13%. Es decir, en Murcia hay más delincuencia con menos de la mitad de porcentaje de inmigración con respecto a su población. En Sevilla, que tiene una tasa de delitos mayor la tasa de inmigración es del 7,5%. Cuatro veces menor.

Sé que los datos no sirven demasiado para los que odian, pero si sirve para que alguien con buena voluntad abra los ojos y para desmentir al alcalde del PP de Torre Pacheco aquí están."

The amount of residential customers i work with where the woman does everythingg is unreal.

The project im on now the woman is pregnant and installing her own trim while her husband literally plays tea party with the children.

I know we bitch about women alot but come on guys. get your shit together. I don't even know this pussys name and im tearing apart half his house and he's literally defaulting to his wife to manage all of it while she's pregnant.

If it were my wife, the contractor would not even know her name.

Reeves should know well that all evidence says trickle down is a myth. Deregulating capitalism makes the rich even richer. Nonsense from a so-called called Labour Chancellor.

New, at KrebsOnSecurity.com: Marko Elez, a 25-year-old employee at Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been granted access to sensitive databases at the U.S. Social Security Administration, the Treasury and Justice departments, and the Department of Homeland Security. So it should fill all Americans with a deep sense of confidence to learn that Mr. Elez over the weekend inadvertently published a private key that allowed anyone to interact directly with more than four dozen large language models (LLMs) developed by Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI.

EU trade ministers agreed Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of 30% tariffs on the European Union was “absolutely unacceptable,” and they are studying a new set of countermeasures to respond to the move. The ministers met Monday in Brussels following Trump’s surprise announcement over the weekend of such hefty tariffs, which could have repercussions for governments, companies and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. #us #usa #news #America #trump #tarrifs #europe #EU

Laila Soueif ends her hunger strike following pleas from family and friends. Her health have deteriorated considerably after 10 months of alternating between complete and partial hunger strike, which led to multiple hospitalisations. Her son Alaa is still in prison and on a partial hunger strike as #Egypt is keeping him imprisoned beyond his sentence.
