No state, no capitalist, no hierarchy involved.
The three parties last ran together in 2021, along with the Islamist Ra’am party headed by Mansour Abbas. But Ra’am decided to break off months before the election and run independently. Ra’am won four seats and joined the Naftali Bennett-Yair Lapid coalition.
“In the coming weeks,” Jabareen wrote in a post to X/Twitter on Wednesday evening, “we will work with all our strength to increase voter turnout among the entire public and ensure that the Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich government does not return to power.” “This is not only our mission, but also the mission of everyone who seeks to change the difficult reality in which we live.” According to a Maariv poll published last Friday the Joint List would win eight seats.
Wahab, who ran on slashing prescription drug costs and ending forever wars, will represent California’s 14th Congressional District until at least January. In November, Wahab will face Bay Area Rapid Transit board member Melissa Hernandez again in a race for a full two-year term in the US House. Tuesday’s special election was significantly closer than earlier primary contests, signaling a highly competitive race later this year.
Our Revolution, a progressive advocacy organization that backed Wahab, called her win “a national model for how progressives can defeat big-money outside groups and build a Democratic Party rooted in working people.” The United Democracy Project, AIPAC’s super PAC, spent $2.5 million on the contest in an effort to boost Hernandez.

The group of volunteers for her underdog Senate campaign sat inside a union office in suburban Broward County, a liberal stronghold in the increasingly Republican-leaning state. It was a small group, maybe a dozen people.
But don’t worry, Ms. Nixon’s political director, Rachel Gilmer, reassured them: “This tiny room is part of many, many tiny rooms” across the state, she said, with more volunteers also ready to knock on Democratic voters’ doors.

We live in an intensely atomized society, and at no point have we been more alone than today, when the old bonds of community have largely eroded after decades of neoliberalism.

When this is connected to a project of expanding the electorate instead of only trying to persuade frequent voters, at its best, the result is a feeling of equality and common cause between the canvasser and the voter: you knocked on my door, nobody ever knocked on my door before, and you brought to my attention a vision of politics which I hadn’t before been exposed to. I and others have even on occasion recruited people to DSA in this way, after winning a voter over to our candidates.
پزشکیان با اشاره به آیات قرآن کریم درباره ضرورت حکومت بر مبنای حق، خاطرنشان کرد: خداوند در قرآن کریم خطاب به حضرت داوود میفرماید که ما تو را مبعوث کردیم تا بر اساس حق میان مردم، نه گروه و دستهای خاص، حکومت کنی و تابع هوای نفس نشوی؛ کسانی که تابع هوای نفس میشوند، گرفتار عذاب علیم خواهند شد.

رئیسجمهور تصریح کرد: البته تمامی این موضوعات به معنای این نیست که اگر آنها بخواهند تعرضی کنند، ما تسلیم شویم. این دو مسئله جدا از هم است. ما به هیچ عنوان در برابر قلدری سر خم نخواهیم کرد و هیچ تردیدی در آن وجود ندارد. تا آخرین نفس مقابل آنها خواهیم ایستاد و پاسخ کوبنده به آنها خواهیم داد.
پزشکیان با بیان اینکه جنگ باید در یک مقطع به پایان برسد، گفت: بهتر است امروز که در قدرت و عزت هستیم و تمام دنیا به پیروزی ما اذعان دارند و تأکید میکنند که آمریکا برخلاف تمام مقررات، به مدارس، بیمارستانها و زیرساختهای ما حمله کرده و در دنیا منفور است، جنگ را پایان دهیم.
The Iranian president stressed, however, that the agreement did not mean Tehran would submit in the event of another attack.
“We will under no circumstances bow to bullying,” he said. “We will stand against them until our last breath and give them a crushing response.”
Früher oder später müsse der Krieg beendet werden, sagte Massoud Pezeshkian laut der staatlichen Nachrichtenagentur IRNA. „Es ist besser, ihn heute zu beenden, da wir in einer Position der Stärke und Würde sind.“ Die USA seien durch den Krieg in der ganzen Welt verhasst, meinte der Präsident, der im Iran das Amt des Regierungschefs ausübt.
„The whole world acknowledges our victory and emphasises that America has attacked our schools, hospitals and infrastructure in violation of all regulations and is hated around the world.“
Pezeshkian also defended a memorandum of understanding agreed with the US in June aimed at ending the war, claiming it did not signal a defeat for Tehran.
„They cannot find even a single clause in this agreement that indicates capitulation. All the commitments concern the other side,“ he said.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called for an end to the war while Tehran remains “in a position of strength and dignity”, warning that Iran would crush any renewed attack.
Pezeshkian described the negotiated agreement as a “major achievement” unanimously approved by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. (…)
“War has to end at some point. It is better to end the war today, while we are in a position of strength and dignity,” he added.
