US military aid to Israel continues three years into Gaza genocide
To date, at least 74,243 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel, which killed at least 1,139 people. At least 1,460 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the October 11, 2025 ceasefire went into effect as Israel has continued to expand its area of control. “The bottom line is that under both the Biden administration and the Trump administration, the US has continued to provide unconditional support for Israel, both in terms of finances, arms transfers and other forms, such as diplomatic support,” according to former Department of State official Josh Paul, who now runs A New Policy lobbying firm.

Turkey to deploy troops and air defence systems to Saudi Arabia amid Houthi attacks
Two Turkish officials familiar with Ankara's plans told MEE that Turkey had maintained technical teams, air defence systems and electronic warfare equipment in the kingdom since last year to protect critical infrastructure, including energy facilities. One senior Turkish official said Ankara would send additional equipment, technicians, emergency response teams and accompanying combat forces. The official said a 2010 military training agreement between Saudi Arabia and Turkey allows Ankara to deploy limited forces to the kingdom for technical purposes. Further deployments, however, would require parliamentary authorisation under the Turkish constitution.

Lula campaign scrambles to rebrand before Brazil runoff
At the meeting, Lula pushed what is being dubbed internally the "fear strategy" to remind voters of the risks a Bolsonaro presidency he says would ⁠pose to popular social benefits. People close to the campaign say Lula blames the messaging for failing to reach enough young people and women. Some party figures point to Lula's social communications minister, Sidonio Palmeira, whose business partner Raul Rebelo runs the campaign's messaging, for pushing less accessible themes like sovereignty and critical minerals. One TV campaign advert was devoted entirely to rare earths.

Home Secretary Defends Palestine Action Ban by Invoking ‘Skinheads’
Mahmood, who was previously a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause, said that while she was “very uncomfortable” seeing people she knew “falling foul” of the law, it had to be applied consistently. “When you get a group of skinheads standing outside a mosque, holding up a placard saying ‘I support National Action’, I’m going to want the Section 13 support offence to be applied,” she said.

Supporters of Imran Khan start march on locked-down Islamabad
The government had gone to extreme lengths to try to stop PTI holding the long march, including shutting down Islamabad and barricading the capital’s entrances with shipping containers and sandbags. Khan’s three sisters were among those detained last week on grounds of national security. Two rounds of negotiations between the government and PTI leaders took place over the weekend but broke down when Khan’s allies insisted that he be part of political talks.

Lula is delusional and desperate, that's why he blames the messaging of the campaing.

You have to understand two things about this election: last one he won against Bolsonaro by 0,9%, or 2 million votes. That was after a botched pandemic response that left 700k brazillians dead, and Bolsonaro mocking people who complained about it.

Second is that on the first round, when senators and congressmen were being elected, the political center and traditional politicians were wiped out, and the right gained votes. This is because there is an anti-establishment fervor in the general population, people are frustrated with the institutions, and Lula embraced and defended the institutions (specially the supreme court) these past 4 years.

So he didn't have that much margin for a mediocre governament to begin with, and he embrassed a system that people are sick of. And now he'll pay the price for this.

Venezuela's Maduro to face new US charges over alleged torture of Americans, official says
Maduro's tenure was marked by tensions with the United States. Washington accused ‌his ⁠government of detaining Americans as leverage to extract concessions such as relief from financial sanctions. Americans whom the US classified as wrongfully detained during Maduro's tenure included five oil executives arrested on graft charges. They were freed in 2022 in exchange for two of Flores' nephews who had been convicted in the US of drug trafficking.

US proposes to boost transit funding to areas with higher marriage, birth rates
Democrats criticized the plan that would apply to 40 major projects already in the program that funds light rail, bus and commuter rail projects. "Tying funding for ‌transit ⁠projects to marriage rates and how many babies a woman has is the sort ⁠of bizarre and dystopian idea you’d expect in a TV ⁠show, not actual policy put forth by the ⁠U.S. government," said Democratic Senator Patty Murray.

Trump’s $90 Medicare rebate rolls out, but millions aren’t eligible. Critics see a political stunt
Less than one-third of all Medicare recipients are eligible for the payments, which are expected to be sent out this week. Not eligible are roughly 35 million Medicare Advantage enrollees, millions of other people with disabilities and low-income Medicare recipients. The election-year promise that the Republican president made over the weekend comes as the Nov. 3 midterms are fast approaching, with the cost of living and healthcare expenses among the top issues for voters.

The Gen Z revolution reaches Europe – Is Britain next?
What began with an 87-year-old disabled woman being evicted from her home in Madrid has developed into a revolt over the spiralling cost of rent and housing. Within a week, protestors occupied the Puerta del Sol in Madrid, and encampments began to spread across Spain. Half a million people took to the streets of the capital on 3 October, paralysing the city as protesters chanted: “Either the rentier economy falls, or the government does”. Fast-forward to the time of writing – the Spanish government has effectively collapsed. The ‘Socialist’ Party Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was forced to call snap elections after failing to pass decrees aimed at placating the movement. From Madrid to Seville, and now Barcelona, chants of “your profits, our misery” and “no solution without expropriation” have rung out late into the evening. The radicalisation of the youth is palpable. Red flags have been paraded across the streets and main squares. In one viral clip, an incredulous interviewer asks a protester: “So people are chanting socialism or barbarism here?” to which she responds “Sí”. No further explanation needed. The movement is posing the question: who does the city belong to? Does it belong to the investment funds that speculate on housing and have doubled rents over the last decade, or to the ordinary workers who run the city, but yet are struggling to get by? Some sections of the movement are now calling for a general strike. Watch this space.

Why we should not take sides in war - Devrim Valerian
The Prime Minister wears a T-shirt now. It costs 80 quid, and his jeans cost £295. The very nice Harrington jacket he’s often seen in costs £695. Looking like an ordinary bloke is expensive these days. He’s apologised over Gaza too. He said that Labour “didn’t get it right” and “needs to do better”. It sounded like the British government was finally going to take a position on genocide. Even the climb down sounded a bit more radical than the days of Keir Starmer; “There’s increasing evidence that war crimes appear to have been committed.” But then he told us that it's not a matter for him to decide upon. Instead, it “must be for the international courts to determine, rather than politicians.” Words matter. If the UK government declared that war crimes were being committed in Gaza, let alone a genocide, it would trigger a legal obligation to stop arms sales. The new policy then is to smile, apologise, and go on selling Israel the weapons, including components for F-35 aircraft, that it needs to continue its mass slaughter of an unarmed civilian population. Little appears to have changed at all. The sales of arms continue, and those who object to this are still arrested and charged under terrorism laws. It should come as little surprise from someone who has been a member of Labour Friends of Israel since 2015. He also appeared alongside Volodymyr Zelensky at his first meeting with a foreign leader and assured him that the UK was 100% with Ukraine for as long as it takes. On the surface, the situation in Ukraine has similarities with that in Palestine. Russia invaded Ukraine and is committing atrocities there, just as Israel is in Palestine. The first difference is in the British response. Britain is 100% with Ukraine. In Palestine, it is selling Israel arms with which to commit genocide. That would be the equivalent of selling Russia bombs to commit massacres in Ukraine. There must, then, be some difference between the two situations. It’s certainly not one of morality. The horrors inflicted by the Israeli army upon the civilian population have been far worse than those committed by Russia in terms of people killed. Why then is the UK 100% behind Ukraine, yet arresting people on the streets for saying that they oppose genocide in Palestine? The answer lies not in the field of morality, but in that of geopolitics. Britain sees it as in its interests to support Israel. It also sees it as in its interests to support Ukraine. The dead have no voice in this. Nor is there anyone speaking up for any moral imperative. It’s national interests that speak loudest.

If Our Government Makes Dollars, What Is the ‘National Debt’?
Yves here. Tom Neuburger has been publishing a step-by-step primer on how money creation and Federal spending work for governments that are monetary sovereigns. This final entry in his series covers the unduly contentious topic of national debt. Keep in mind that the Modern Monetary Theory framework does not dispute the idea that governments can engage in excessive spending, and that that has consequences. But they are not involuntary default, aka bankruptcy, but too much inflation. In a bit of synchronicity, another writer, this one in the UK, has just addressed the misdirected concern about government borrowing. Colonel Smithers sent on Don’t Panic, Mr Mainwaring! The Myth of the Bond Vigilantes.

Promise them to actually rebuild a better system. Although its likely too late, he should have done it already. Use and abuse your fucking power, why are only fascists comprador doing it.
