“A familiar spectre is haunting the nation: communism. Or so one might conclude from the Republican Party’s increasingly frantic rhetoric. Following a string of wins by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in congressional primaries from New York to Colorado to Michigan, even reaching as far as Florida, the GOP is dusting off an old refrain. ‘Communism is on the ballot this November,’ warned House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) at a press conference. President Donald Trump has gone further still, calling communism ‘the biggest threat to our nation there is, maybe since our founding.’ At first glance, this reads like little more than election-year theatrics. The candidates provoking such alarm are, on the whole, hardly the revolutionaries their critics imagine.

The other is what sort of house you are looking for—how large, how many rooms of what sort, in what location. It is in the agent’s interest to ask the first question; since his commission is a percentage of the sales price, he would like to sell you the most expensive house you are willing to buy. It is not clear that it is in your interest to answer it.” (09/05/26)

“Remember how we were always hearing that the official death toll in Gaza is an undercount because there are thousands of bodies trapped under the rubble? Well, it looks like Israel has been moving those remains along with the rubble, conveniently destroying evidence of genocide. Last month, a report by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor estimated that ‘at least 10 million tonnes of rubble have been removed, crushed, or moved from their original sites within the areas under Israel’s unlawful military control.’ ‘In recent weeks, Euro-Med Monitor tracked nearly 100 Israeli trucks daily leaving the Gaza Strip with debris,’ the report reads. ‘These trucks carry rubble to undisclosed sites within Israel and further south of the occupied West Bank. The Israeli authorities have not provided details on the quantities removed, the routes taken, the destination sites, or how the material is utilised.'” (09/07/26)
