Left-wing politicians briefly silenced President Donald Trump's speech in Israel's parliament (the Knesset) on Monday by calling him a "terrorist" as he spoke about the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas militants in Gaza. After their protest, the politicians were led out of the legislative chamber by Knesset security. The politicians who heckled Trump were Arab-Israeli Aymen Odeh and Ofer Cassif, both of whom are members of the Hadash coalition, a left-wingpolitical coalition formed by the Communist Party of Israel, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Piker was complaining about his poor internet connection which he equated with violence, and caused him to declare I hate this fucking country so much when he lost it on his dog for standing up. Kaya, please, just fucking go b-, just stop! said Piker, who appeared to be reaching for something that caused Kaya to let out a yelp. Jesus Christ, what are you doing? You're being such a baby! added Piker for good measure, before blaming his mom for spoiling her.
Since at least the Bush administration, designating someone or something as a terrorist or terrorism has been our equivalent of the John Wick universe's being declared excommunicado. Due process, the notion that someone would come to your aid if you were physically harmed, out the window. And while the designation hasn't lost any of its gravitas, the threshold you need to cross before getting called a terrorist has rapidly fallen over time. Per a recent White House release, merely having "anti-American views" - otherwise known as thought-crime - could get you on the list. As it turns out, even active members of the government aren't safe from the suspicion that they're actually terrorists in wait using their positions for dastardly ends.
After the defeat of Nazi Germany and the liberation of France, Senon joined the CGT union and the Communist Party. She rose up the ranks of the male-dominated trade union movement to head one of the CGT's most important women's sections in Paris. Throughout her life, Senon, who styled herself as an "eternal rebel", never gave up fighting for women's rights.
The National Students' Union organized Thursday's protests under the slogan "stop the genocide against the Palestinian people." Demonstrations, which took part in at least 39 cities and towns, varied in size from small groups to thousands who turned out in Barcelona and the capital Madrid, where students held banners with messages like "Stop Everything to Stop the Genocide," "All Eyes on the Global Sumud Flotilla," and "Free Palestine!"

Stefano Guidi / Getty Images As boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla prepared to set sail toward Gaza from the coasts of Italy, Spain, and Tunisia, a representative of Genoa's Dockworkers' Union (CALP), now part of Unione Sindacale di Base, declared that if anything happened to the flotilla, workers would " block everything."
Fragmented group will struggle to find singular voice as parties disagree over candidate's comments on Hamas When she launched her campaign in front of a jubilant crowd on Monday night, Catherine Connolly stood on stage holding hands with a group of six other leaders of the left. It was hailed as not just a passing moment of unity, but a sign that the fragmented group of left-wing parties in the Dáil could work cohesively and comfortably together

A troubling poll from YouGov illustrates the extent of the problem. The survey, which was conducted on Sunday 24 hours after Utah Governor Spencer Cox (R) revealed that Tyler Robinson, the man arrested for allegedly assassinating Charlie Kirk, was deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology, and the same day that Cox confirmed Fox News reporting that Robinson had a transgender romantic partner, found that more Americans believe Robinson was a Republican (24%) than a Democrat (21%).
You read a couple of excerpts from some of this texts, one of his texts said, when asked, How long you thinking about this?', a week and a half. It wasn't, I've been thinking about this for the last year and a half.' He said a week and a half. If we're going to believe what he said in other places in his texts, why not believe that? What does that say to you?
It's time for the Trump administration to shut down, defund, & prosecute every single Leftist organization. If Charlie Kirk dies from his injuries, his life cannot be in vain, Loomer wrote on X on Wednesday while Kirk's condition was still unclear. We must shut these lunatic leftists down. Once and for all. The Left is a national security threat. Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) September 10, 2025 Some users were quick to respond to the post by sharing a screenshot
What makes someone suspicious enough to be grabbed by masked federal authorities? Is it a Mexican family eating dinner at a table near a taco truck? Afghan women in hijabs working at a Middle Eastern market? South Asian girls in colorful lehengas, speaking Hindi at an Indian wedding? According to Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, writing a concurrence in the Supreme Court's emergency ruling allowing roving immigration raids in Los Angeles, any of these could be fair game, using law and "common sense."
In the United States, calls for better social services, public programs, and other state-led interventions are reliably met with cries of impracticality. Ideas from the left are regularly derided in hyperbolic terms; some classics include the charge that the left wishes to give away the equivalent of "free ponies" (that one comes via Hillary Clinton), or are otherwise pie-in-the-sky utopians living in a "magical fantasy land," promising " unicorns " and the like.
