SCOOP: Nadia Beller, the Bolivian whistleblower who survived an assassination attempt ordered by Trump associate and political operative Fernando Cerimedo, tells me authorities are seeking to arrest her as soon as Friday. According to sources within the Bolivian government and police, the case will argue that her (brave) testimony against Cerimedo’s crimes—which range from U.S. backed election interference to drug trafficking—is evidence she had prior knowledge and failed to report. Beller, a lawyer herself, cites multiple legal grounds for immunity and says this is an obvious attempt to silence her for exposing a corruption network spanning from Washington DC to Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, and beyond. Beller’s whistleblowing prompted investigations in Argentina and Chile, including a congressional commission probing Cerimedo. The Bolivian attorney general who arrested and charged Cerimedo with femicide for the attack on Beller was sanctioned by the U.S. and later detained by Bolivian authorities. Beller says she fears for her life and the life of her unborn child, which Cerimedo allegedly fathered. She is calling on the international community to support her in the face of political lawfare, attempted femicide, and state repression. Please share far and wide.

Shocking news just in 😱 The greedy landlord has demanded we vacate the premises immediately within 24 hours. We need to collect 1000 shekels (approximately $330) immediately. Can we do it within 24 hours? 😞 chuffed.org/project/172116

That's about the same percentages that support the ongoing genocide. There is no non-genocidal alternative within Zionism.
77.45% of Israeli citizens voted for right-wing & far-right parties 6.51% voted for the zionist left 15% voted for Arab parties If you leave out Arab citizens of Israel, it means over 92% of zionist Israelis voted for the right!

As important as some of the issues DSA candidates are embracing, we should not allow DSA to take of this space on the national level without a full commitment to anti-imperialism. No left cover for white supremacist imperialist violence & subversion. Defend Cuba! NO to AOC!
Members of the Democratic Socialists of America are thinking seriously about a national presidential campaign for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2028 that would reach millions of working people and have the potential to transform American politics. jacobin.com/2026/10/dsa-ocas…

This is very misleading. They will STILL be seeking a contract with someone and it STILL could be the Israeli's. It’s just no longer a no bid contract. They still are getting the tech itself.
New: An NYPD spokesperson confirms the police department no longer plans to enter into a no-bid contract with a controversial Israeli surveillance tech company — a reversal that comes after the procurement drew pushback from Mayor Mamdani's allies and civil rights advocates.

Great tips from Brazil on how they turned things around for Lula online and offline: 1. Don’t ever engage, block far-right accounts immediately. 2. Don't debunk, focus on making new content on your platform. 3. Use all the tools at your disposal. 4. Be equally online and offline.

I repeat: An Israel without Netanyahu won’t change the fact that Israel is an ethnonationalist state that receives overwhelming support from its primary beneficiaries. Netanyahu is just an individual who plays a part in a settler-colonial structure.

I love how this makes and holds space for Palestinian voices instead of the usual (imperial/White) Saviour positioning that too many - iykyk - deploy. Across the world, anticolonial kinship means/requires making and holding space for the colonised TO speak, NOT speaking FOR
Last night, Bisan Owda virtually opened for Macklemore's Free Palestine tour in Dublin, Ireland, before screening a piece she helped choreograph featuring Palestinian children singing in Gaza.

Today’s UN report stated that Israel uses torture and rape to attack Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and—like in Gaza—they DELIBERATELY KILL CHILDREN. You have to be sick to still defend this.

So flour and vegetable trucks are entering Gaza again, but not at a rate that meets the need. It's always the same: a trickle of everything, just enough to keep the crisis going and keep us busy with finding the most basic things. It's the same loop we've been stuck in since the fake ceasefire announced in October 2025. No relief, no improvement in living conditions, and no thought of anything bigger that could actually improve our reality. And that's on top of countless other things, from the constant killing and shelling to the land grabs happening every day.

This is why you apply pressure to and hold politicians accountable even if you support them. It’s your responsibility.
Zohran Mamdani's NYPD walks back $750,000 contract deal with Israeli surveillance company Cognyte after pressure from his supporters “It did not meet the criteria for a sole source procurement, so we are moving to an open, competitive procurement process” (via @NYDailyNews)

I feel like Jared Kushner being at the center of the plot that ultimately led to an American journalist being dismembered via bone saw while he was still alive should be a much bigger deal than our billionaire owned news media is making of it.

Israel is exterminating the people of Southern Lebanon.
Lebanon is being destroyed. My homeland is being destroyed. Our people are being genocided. Lebanon is the second most-documented genocide in history after Gaza, yet the most denied by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights after Gaza.

As we’re doing nuclear threat discourse again: just remember, Israel has the world’s largest per capita nuclear stockpile, has never signed a non-proliferation treaty, has never been inspected by IAEA — and their nukes are controlled by a government committing genocide.

Indigenous organizers took Brazil’s election fight to the timeline. 📱 After Lula lost the first round, Indigenous groups ramped up social media and grassroots organizing to help reelect him. Now they’re pushing him to deliver on Indigenous rights.
