We're very excited to be returning to @Substack after 3 great years of doing our live nightly show, System Update, on @rumblevideo. I'm particularly happy to be getting back to written reporting and long investigations. We'll have our first up today. greenwald.substack.com/p/wel…

One of the surprising things that I learned from the Iran War is that if you start a war against another country and, on the first day, you bomb one of their schools filled with 170 young girls, the people in that country will get angry about it and hate you for a long while:

The families of schoolchildren from the southern city of Minab joined mourners gathered in central Tehran for the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Like the supreme leader, the children were bombed to death on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. wapo.st/4y1jAQN

This dance was one of the most traumatizing things I've ever witnessed in politics, and -- in the hope that it may help others -- I confess that I have struggled quite a bit to expunge the image of this sign from my mind. Yet it still haunts me.

Today, I'm announcing that I am suspending my campaign for United States Senate. And I'm doing it with a deep, deep sense of gratitude. For our thousands of volunteers, for everyone who donated what you could — building a campaign with zero corporate PAC dollars. For my staff, who built this team up from nothing. I thank you. For my family. For Ray, who believed in me long before I ever believed in myself. And for Noa. Our five-year-old, who presses her hands up against the window to wave goodbye every morning when I leave for work. "Remember, Mom," she reminded me recently. "It's not about if you win. It's about trying hard and having fun." She's right. So I want to be very clear about what this announcement is not. I may be suspending this campaign, but I am not leaving the fight. I never planned on politics. After the 2016 election, I felt lost. I picked up my phone and typed five words into the search bar: "How to run for office." And here's what I learned: when regular people get in the fight, things can change. In my very first election, we flipped a district against the incumbent. Four years later — with so many of you — we flipped the Michigan Senate for the first time in nearly forty years. And we didn’t stop at winning. We repealed Michigan's abortion ban. We raised wages. We made sure every child gets breakfast and lunch at school. We made it easier to go to college. We expanded civil rights and voting rights. And so, so much more. These wins took thousands of us — showing up every single day, refusing to give up when there were setbacks. That's why I'm staying in this fight. And why I need you to stay in it with me. Now, I haven’t been shy about calling for new leadership and a better Democratic Party. I mean it. The energy is there. People are crying out for change. And we owe it to them to listen. Then we need to build it up, together, from the ground up. So here's what we do next. Every day through November 3rd. We win this Senate seat and send Mike Rogers back to Florida for good. Whoever wins this primary on August 4th will have my full support. Then, let’s elect Jocelyn Benson as our next Governor. Let’s flip the State House, and expand our majority in the State Senate. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ticket and show the rest of this country what it means to fight like Michigan. Ten years ago, I started this work heartbroken, typing five words into a search bar. And I learned the only thing that has ever really changed this country: ordinary people who love something enough to fight for it. I love this country. I love Michigan. And I love the little girl who waves at me from the window every morning, trusting the grown-ups to leave her a state and a country worth inheriting. That's who I'm fighting for. And I'm not going anywhere. I hope you'll join me.

Americans were told this is what Iranians would do to express gratitude to American and Israeli invaders for bombing them: pour out on the streets to welcome us as liberators. It usually doesn't turn out that way. Turns out most people don't like being bombed by foreigners.

John Podhoretz says "leave our little country alone" and he means Israel, not the US -- because when he's speaking honestly and among the like-minded people, his country is Israel. That said, credit where due: this has become, as I've said before, the internet's funniest show:

Max Blumenthal is in Iran, covering the massive turnout of Iranians for the funeral of Ali Khamenei (and his daughter and granddaughters), and somehow has survived despite being an American Jew. Almost impossible to imagine crowd sizes this large for a modern-day American leader:

I've just visited the largest funeral in history, where millions mourned Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian leader who was assassinated by the US-Israeli coalition along with members of his family It is practically impossible to understand what this scene is like, or what it means, unless you're here. I've met people from around the world who've come to pay respects, including many from across the West. The crowds pouring in are endless, and grow larger and more intense into the night. From Tehran's Mosala, there are indignant calls for vengeance, displays of sorrow and defiance, protest, songs and marathons of poetry. These days of mourning will amount to one of the most resonant moments in the history of anti-imperialist movements. Everyone I've spoken to believes war will return to Iran before long, and none trust the MOU with the US. But they are confident their country can deter another assault. They see their own citizens' mobilization as an integral component of Iran's survival. If the assassination of Khamenei was designed to spur regime change, his funeral demonstrates how badly it has backfired. And the crime may blow back in ways its historically illiterate authors could have never imagined. What we're witnessing in the Mosala consolidates the Islamic Republic and its revolutionary society as a political reality that can not be erased through regime change war or sanctions. This is a turning point in the region that will echo for a generation.

Yes, @nikitabier removed the worldwide officially recognized flag of Iran as an X emoji, and replaced it with the regime-change flag (which hasn't been Iran's flag since the Shah's dictatorship), when Israel said regime change was its goal in Iran. More censorship for Israel.🇮🇱

The incessant use of the victim card by billionaire heir @RepDanGoldman has been declined, as is the broader narrative that the explosion of Israel opposition has generated an epidemic of anti-Semitism rendering Jews the most vulnerable marginalized group:

What if one idea could save both people and animals? In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, there's an animal shelter doing exactly that. Founded by journalist Glenn Greenwald and his husband, David Miranda, the shelter hires homeless people to care for rescued animals. The idea came after they noticed something powerful on the streets: many homeless people would share their last meal with their dogs, always putting their companions first. So they built a shelter where both could get a second chance. The workers receive a salary, housing, and training. The animals receive love, care, and a safe place to heal. Both often arrive with nothing. Both leave with hope. One of the first employees, 20-year-old Lucas, had been carrying a sick puppy from vet to vet, begging for someone to help. After joining the shelter, he was able to rent his first apartment and rebuild his life. As Lucas put it: "You can go places and be treated like a person." The animals find homes. The people rediscover dignity. It's a reminder that sometimes the best solutions help more than one life at a time. This is the kind of idea I'd love to see around the world. Do you agree?

This is properly insane: quite literally the worst example of censorship I've ever heard of anywhere. I checked the actual ruling (which you can see here: courthousenews.com/wp-conten…) and, to be clear, it isn't just censorship in the conventional sense - blocking access to a website or removing content from platforms - this is the criminalization of information relayed by private citizens, with prison sentences attached. And the most insane aspect if that it does NOT matter if the information relayed is accurate or not. It just matters that it originates from RT or other media outlets banned in the EU. In other words, truth isn't a defense anymore in the EU, it literally doesn't matter. It's purely based on the identity of the speaker. The ruling is actually explicit about this: the regulation, quoted by the Court says that the prohibition applies to "any content," and they draw no distinction based on what the content actually says. If it originates from banned outlets, it's banned. It is, quite simply, a complete unraveling of the entire post-Enlightenment legal and philosophical project where entire generations of Europeans fought to move from "who says it" to "is it true" as the operative question. Think about the absurdity of it: if RT publishes a video saying the sky is blue and you share it on a publicly accessible website in the EU, you'd fall within the scope of this ruling, making you liable to criminal prosecution. Completely and utterly absurd. But that's the EU today for you 🤷

Q: "Do you believe Israel has a right to exist?" El-Sayed: "Nobody's ever asked me whether Palestine has a right to exist. Israel exists. The question is whether we want our money sent to Israel for genocide and apartheid - or invested in our own kids." El-Sayed just flipped the script. The entire media apparatus is built on that double standard. He just tore it down in two sentences
