Angela Gonzales-Torres Hopes to Bring International Solidarity to the U.S. House

DSA’s choice in a high-profile California congressional race hopes to build internationalism — understood as “solidarity between working people across borders” — into her service in the U.S. House, should she be elected in November.

Los Angeles DSA and DSA National have endorsed Angela Gonzales-Torres in her race to represent California’s 34th congressional district. The run-off election against embattled incumbent U.S. Rep. Jimmy Gomez will be one of the highest-profile DSA challenges on the ballot for the Nov. 3 general election. Due to California’s jungle primary system, both candidates in the general will appear on the Democratic ballot line.

Whither My Democratic Party?

In the current political environment, I’m struggling with an extreme case of what psychologists call “cognitive dissonance.” Put simply, half of me is praying for a Democratic takeover of the House and Senate; and the other half is suffering fitful sleeplessness that the Democratic Socialist Alliance (DSA) and its fellow travelers may become the dominant voice in my once beloved Party.

GERMAN WEAPONS ARE KILLING PEOPLE IN PALESTINE. WE ARE RESISTING!

With the support of the German government, Israel is committing genocide in Palestine. Day after day, innocent people continue to be systematically killed. We refuse to allow this to continue and join the global Palestinian resistance against the colonial Zionist project. In cooperation with national and international groups, we have already staged peaceful, disruptive protests and will continue to do so until the German government ends its complicity in Israeli crimes against Palestinians.

Together, we stand against the crimes committed by the government and the arms industry!

Join us in peaceful resistance

The coordinated sit-ins were organized by the group Peacefully Against Genocide.

Protesters targeted multiple locations of weapons manufacturers, including Rheinmetall facilities and a General Dynamics site.

In Berlin, demonstrators staged a sit-in in front of Rheinmetall’s plant in Wedding.

Gas Prices and the 2026 Midterms

(March 26, 2026)

Few economic indicators hit voters as fast or as visibly as the price of gasoline. Academic research stretching back decades confirms what political operatives have long understood intuitively: when gas prices rise sharply, presidential approval falls, and when approval falls heading into a midterm, the president’s party loses seats. That chain is being tested dramatically right now.

Studie zur deutschen Nahostberichterstattung

Ein Forschungsteam der Freien Universität Berlin hat untersucht, wie Handlungsspielräume bei der Berichterstattung über den Nahostkonflikt von Medienschaffenden wahrgenommen werden. Diese Studie ist im Oktober 2026 als Arbeitspapier des CeMIL erschienen.

Für die Studie befragten Prof. Dr. Carola Richter, Dr. Jannis Julien Grimm und Nina Moya Schreieder im Mai und Juni 2026 Journalist:innen, die für deutsche Medien zur Nahost-Region und damit verbundenen Themen berichten. Von fast 600 systematisch ausgewählten Journalist:innen nahmen rund 30 Prozent an der anonymen Online-Befragung teil – eine vergleichsweise hohe Rücklaufquote. „Offensichtlich gab es ein großes Bedürfnis bei mit dem Thema befassten Journalist:innen, sich zu äußern“, sagt Prof. Dr. Carola Richter.

The ICC strongly rejects US sanctions against the institution

This measure targets an independent judicial institution, created by treaty and entrusted by 125 States Parties with investigating and prosecuting genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. It is an attempt to obstruct the course of justice and to prevent the Court from doing what it was created to do. It is an assault on the rule of law and on the very foundations of the international legal order which strikes at the simple principle that no one stands above the law.

The designation is aimed at disrupting the Court’s operations and at intimidating those who work for or cooperate with the Court. The Court, for its part, will not be deterred. “The Court will continue to fully discharge its mandate, with independence and impartiality, acting only on the basis of the law and the evidence, for the sake of the countless victims of grave crimes” said ICC President Tomoko Akane.

IN PICS: hundreds arrested at Palestine protest outside Labour conference

Hundreds of people have been arrested as the Defend our Juries group protested against the government’s ‘proscription‘ (terrorism ban) on anti-genocide group Palestine Action. While al-Qaeda subsidiary HTS in Syria has been de-proscribed and whitewashed by the UK and US, Palestine Action remains banned. The Crown Prosecution Service and judiciary continue to collude to try to ensure the longest and harshest possible sentences.

More than 3,000 people, mostly pensioners and disabled people, have been arrested for ‘terror’ offences for opposing the proscription. That total is climbing rapidly.

Israeli minister calls for war in West Bank, says Israel should ‚do what it did in Gaza‘

„I certainly have solutions. I think we need to go to war in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). To do there what we did in Gaza. To dismantle the Palestinian Authority, which is a terror authority,“ he said.

Asked what war would mean, Smotrich pointed to earlier Israeli operations in West Bank refugee camps.

„We already did it. There are three refugee camps there that are empty, that we evacuated the population from for its protection and cleansed of all the terror. I want to kill all the terrorists and collect all the weapons,“ he said.

Mr. President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,

We live at a dangerous moment.
But our future is not predetermined.
War is a choice.
Peace is also a choice.
And sometimes —
the greater courage, lies, not in starting a war —
but in preventing one.
Pakistan has made its choice.
We have chosen dialogue over confrontation.
We have chosen cooperation over coercion.
We have chosen peace over war.
Let this eighty-first General Assembly make it unanimous choice.
For ourselves.
For our children.
And for generations yet unborn.
Let us restore trust. Let us preserve peace.
And let us prove that even in a divided world —
humanity can still choose to stand together.

I thank you.

With ‘Blood-Soaked War Criminal’ Set to Land in Mamdani’s NYC, Calls Grow to Arrest Netanyahu

In July, a YouGov poll found that 49% of Americans believed the US government should arrest Netanyahu under the warrant, 27% said it should not, and 23% were unsure.

President Donald Trump stated earlier this summer that Netanyahu “will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form” while visiting the US. His administration’s position, as stated in a February 2025 executive order, is that Netanyahu can’t be arrested. The ICC, it says, “has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel” because, unlike most other nations, neither is a party to the Rome Statute, which created the court.

Diese Datenmenge ist nicht einfach zu handhaben, besonders wenn man damit statistische Modelle trainieren möchte oder gar große Sprachmodelle, die ebenfalls erstellt werden. Die digitale Infrastruktur wird von Google und Amazon unter dem Projektnamen Nimbus bereitgestellt und kostet 1,2 Milliarden US-Dollar.

Complicit Coverage

The titles of two new books about Israel’s genocide in Gaza succinctly state their shared argument: Corporate, mainstream media have been complicit in the horrific violence the Zionist state has inflicted and continues to inflict on Palestinians in Gaza. Print and online media, as well as cable news, have sold the genocide to their readers and audiences, turning reality on its head by portraying the Israeli perpetrators as victims of bloodthirsty terrorists and their Palestinian victims as bloodthirsty terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, or terrorists-to-be. As Deputy Speaker of the Knesset Nissim Vaturi said in a televised 2025 interview, “any child” born in Gaza is “already a terrorist from the moment of his birth.”

Adam Johnson, a media analyst and co-host of the podcast Citations Needed, and Robin Andersen, professor emerita of media studies at New York’s Fordham University and contributor to various independent media, have meticulously documented how U.S. media enable Israel’s mass killings. Their reviews of print, online, and cable coverage illustrate how media have acted as virtual mouthpieces for Israel’s government and its military as well as for the U.S. State Department.

Verfahren wegen Beihilfe zum Völkermord in Gaza: Wie Deutschland sich vor dem IGH verteidigt

Deutschland hat sogenannte „preliminary objections“ erhoben, also vorläufige Einwände gegen die Zuständigkeit des IGH und die Zulässigkeit der Klage. Im Kern geht es um drei Punkte: Erstens bestreitet Deutschland, dass überhaupt eine Streitigkeit mit Nicaragua vorliegt, über die der IGH entscheiden könnte. Zweitens bezögen sich einige Vorwürfe auf Geschehnisse vor dem 30. April 2008 – dem Tag, an dem Deutschland sich der Gerichtsbarkeit des IGH unterworfen hat. Deshalb könne der Gerichtshof in diesen Fällen seine Gerichtsbarkeit nicht ausüben. Und drittens könne der IGH nicht über eine mögliche Beihilfe Deutschlands zu einem Völkermord entscheiden, ohne dass Israel an dem Verfahren beteiligt sei.
