Mahmoud Khalil had hoped to walk free today. A federal judge said no
In a brief order Friday afternoon, Judge Farbiarz accepted the government's reasoning, and said Khalil's detention on the charge of immigration fraud could continue. It was a demoralizing setback for Khalil and his lawyers, who have been trying to free him since he became the first student arrested in President Trump's crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists.

Detainees at New Jersey immigration center revolt as chaos unravels
Unrest and protests have erupted in and around a controversial immigration detention center in New Jersey, with police and federal officials clashing with protesters after detainees reportedly pushed down a wall in revolt at the conditions they were being held in. About 50 detainees pushed down a wall in the dormitory room of the Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, New Jersey, on Thursday night, according to an immigration lawyer representing one of the men held there.

Federal judge recuses himself days before sentencing Memphis officers accused in Tyre Nichols’ death
U.S. District Judge Sheryl H. Lipman was added to the case late Friday, court records showed. It was not immediately clear how the change in judges would affect the timing of the sentencings. Several motions had been filed under seal in recent days. It was not clear if any of those asked for Norris to step away from the case. It is unusual for a judge to recuse themself from a case between the trial and sentencing.

The Tudeh Party of Iran strongly condemns the criminal and terrorist attack by the Israeli government on Iran
ACCORDING to the latest reports, the Israeli government, at dawn today, carried out widespread attacks and bombed large parts of our homeland, including Iran’s nuclear facilities. In a series of terrorist operations, a number of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders — including Mohammad Bagheri, chief of the general staff of the armed forces, and Hossein Salami, commander-in-chief of the IRGC — as well as several Iranian nuclear scientists, were killed. Iran’s state television announced that following the Israeli attack on Tehran, about 50 injured individuals were transferred to Chamran Hospital in Tehran, at least 35 of whom were women and children. The criminal war government’s attack, led by Benjamin Netanyahu and reportedly with the knowledge of the Trump administration, violates all international laws and clearly demonstrates how silence and practical collaboration with a regime that has so far killed over 50,000 Palestinians, including 12,000 children in Gaza, and has now subjected millions of residents to famine and starvation through economic blockade, can have dire consequences for peace throughout the Middle East.

Communist Party of Israel and Hadash stand against Netanyahu government's attack on Iran
It was also stated: "We warn: The Israeli government may exploit the situation it has created to carry out even more dangerous plans towards the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, and the world is called upon to take real and genuine positions to stop the impending disaster. We call for a public protest against this escalation, while respecting the rules to protect the safety and well-being of residents."

Yeah, I scan the news headlines for about 10 mins every morning and decide whether there's any potential anti-hegemonic activity taking place that's worth discussing. If not, I spend my time reading books instead of discussing the latest and greatest in empty threats, negotiation slop, Trust the Plan (leftist edition), etc.

New wave of Israeli attacks targeting Isfahan: Report
London-based news outlet Iran International is reporting that Iranian air defences are attempting to shoot down a new wave of Israeli projectiles attacking the city of Isfahan.
On Friday, the Israeli air force said it had struck an Iranian nuclear facility near the city, located 450km (280 miles) south of Tehran.
It’s currently unclear if the same site is being attacked. We will bring you more information when we have it.

I want phillantropists dead though

He's the one prominent jew it's kosher to hate, because he doesn't really give a shit about Israel. I disagree with his agenda but I respect him for being honest about who he is. Compared to Peter Thiel and Elon Musk he's a saint.

Nah, this will end like CHAZ/occupy.

Organization and unity of purpose is everything. Getting a big tent full of retards means nothing if they're not coordinated.

>>2321578
the reason why CHAZ and Occupy fizzled out was because they were co-opted by liberalism and also happened in very different contexts. during Occupy, the United States still had the image of being basically a just and functional liberal democracy (even though it has never really been one), and during the Floyd riots everything about the state of the world at the time was seen as a temporary lapse in normalcy that everyone expected would be restored. but at this point liberalism is basically dead and the Democrats are incapable of even pretending to be an opposition, much less effectively co-opt grassroots movements, and everything happening right now comes after the Biden administration was supposed to be a return to normalcy. we've had so much shit happen in such a short span of time before Trump 2.0 kicked everything into high gear that I think people have broadly actually been shocked into doing shit

whatever happens is likely to be repressed and to fail, but this is a necessary step for something more militant and organized to emerge out of the chaos. if we were in a set of conditions with a functional liberal democracy that was capable of strategically giving concessions to ease mass discontent, things would be different, but that's not the situation anymore

No
I still support them and the people are less and less interested in neoliberal do-nothing bullshit, so I wouldn't discredit them either

There’s clear evidence to state that they had contact with KGB agents, but it’s clear their role was overplayed.
Not that it would matter to cunts like Roy Cohn and other McCarthyites.

>The controversy over their guilt was seemingly resolved in the early 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the release of Soviet intelligence information that confirmed Julius Rosenberg’s involvement in espionage. In 2015 an independent lawsuit secured the release of grand jury testimony in 1950 by Greenglass, which indicated that he might have lied at trial by exaggerating his sister’s role in the espionage ring in order to obscure the more extensive involvement of his wife Ruth, who was not prosecuted.

PPW in Swaziland when????

If you’re Israeli how is this rational? They can’t even get the job done in Gaza but insist on opening three other fronts, I get that they think Iran is the source of all their problems but what happens when they do regime change but everyone still hates them? Do they just keep expanding and try to bunt every muslim on earth?

Do these protests ever really accomplish anything
Don’t mean to doomer post but just feels like the left is so disorganized and weak in America that these protests from anti-Iraq war to Occupy Wall Street to Dakota Access to BLM to climate crisis to anti-ICE never results in anything meaningful

Remember when activism stopped the Iraq war? I memeber….

They say anti-vietnam stuff had some effect, no? I read once that Nixon wanted to nuke iran but was afraid of getting domed at the picnic by a homegrown maoist if he did.

Not entirely.

The Axis' role isn't passive. It's in direct support for imperialism (capitalism). Mass slaughtering protesters and striking workers in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon. Protests and strikes that are in the case of Iraq and Lebanon against western-backed regimes and in the case of Iran against western investments and privatisation mind you.

>>2317380
this. notice how all the know-it-all defenders of 'strategic restraint' disappear when the world pushes their ideological shit in?

>>2317380
Even accounting for sanctions, Iran is genuinely just very badly run and most of the bandwidth of their government has to be spent on domestic self-preservation of the regime: surveillance, moral crackdowns, and brutal reprisals against their own people to try to prevent a repeat breakthrough of riots and popular revolt that already exploded through to the surface. On top of that they're just kind of corrupt weirdos of extremely varying competence anyway, as it goes with hardcore theocratic fundamentalists anywhere on earth.

Even if you had a 100% guarantee that the U.S. wouldn't get involved militarily, the Iranian government is completely aware they can't engage in non-token reprisal against Israel. Israel knew that too and went about doing very Israel shit. And they seem very confident they can just keep doing Israel shit and keep bodying Iran and pulling off leadership decapitation strikes anywhere they want, Tehran included, and that's just the new geopolitical reality going on down there.

You're a retard when Silicon Valley engineers and middle management pay like 40% of their salaries into rent, while Hangzhou engineers have their rent almost fully subsidized by a combination of local gov incentives, state rent support, and artificially depressed prices, and to retain elite talent, they're paid better than SV, once value of money is considered.
