"From Baghdad to Caracas: a Washington manual on sanctions and war
The recent US airstrikes in the Caribbean and military threats against Venezuela are a continuation of decades (or even centuries) of US policy on the region, not a departure from it."

#US #Senate repeals 2002 #Iraq war resolution

The Senate unanimously voted Thursday to repeal the resolution that authorized the 2003 US invasion, following a House vote last month that would return the basic #WarPower to #Congress.

The amendment by Sen Tim Kaine (D-VA) & Sen Todd Young (R-IN) was approved by voice vote to an annual defense authorization bill that passed the Senate late Thursday—a unanimous endorsement for ending the war that many now view as a mistake.

Today I believe the most important issue the #human species should be able to solve NOW, is stopping the #genocide in #Palestine.

The Pentagon has recommitted itself to scaling back its military mission in Iraq, a process that will see Baghdad command efforts to combat remnants of the Islamic State group inside its own country. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/01/world/pentagon-iraq-mission-scaled-back/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #pentagon #iraq #us #islamicstategroup #alqaida

After destroying 1,600 buildings & 13,000 tents, #Israel launches ground invasion of #GazaCity

Their other attempts at ground invasions in #Gaza have failed so far. This one probably will, too.

#Palestine Will Be Free is a great blog for news of #resistance.

Declaring on Twitter, “Gaza is burning,” Katz later told a group of Israeli terrorists operating in the Strip: “Gaza will be destroyed.”

Emergency Call to #GlobalAction that CAN #EndtheGenocide Now!

By urging #governments & #UN representatives that have previously supported #Palestine to hold the line, we can pass a measure with real teeth to end #genocide

A decade ago, as Germany was grappling with an influx of migrants, the small town of Altena volunteered to take in extra to reverse years of population and economic decline. Only around half have stayed. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/02/world/society/germany-town-migration/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #germany #migration #afd #refugees #iraq

#Israel have bombed another #hospital. Waited for #medics to arrive & then bombed again. #Britain keeps selling arms to this #genocidal regime.

#Starmer & #Lammy say they're "horrified". They condemn, but they do nothing. All the #war criminals must face #justice.

⚠️ Confirmed: Real-time data show that internet connectivity has been cut across most of #Iraq except the north this morning, continuing a pattern of internet shutdowns as an apparent measure to prevent cheating in school exams 📉
