A good decision the UN should now make is the expulsion of the Jewish State of Israel, for its many egregious repeated violations, including refusal to implement the recent ICJ provisional measures against continuing its 'plausible' genocide.
Ceasefire! Dismantle Apartheid/Genocidal Israel! Free Palestine from the River to the Sea!
NDPP, which is more important, destroying Israel or establishing a permanent peace?

'Autocratic Rule' of Erdogan Cracks as Secular Left Wins Big in Turkey Elections
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Justice and Development Party suffered its worst-ever defeat Sunday when the country's main opposition party scored major wins in municipal elections, including in all five of the nation's largest cities.
With nearly all ballots counted, candidates for the center-left Republican People's Party (CHP) emerged victorious in Istanbul, the capital Ankara, İzmir, Bursa, Adana, and other cities and towns. Turkish media reported CHP victories in 36 of the country's 81 provinces. The right-wing Justice and Development Party (AKP) performed best in the largely rural Anatolian interior.

In cities where the mood was socialistic, these clinics embodied an old and precious conviction of the Left: nothing is too good for the people. Neither luxurious public housing nor ostentatious culture, neither boredom nor beaches—and absolutely not psychoanalysis.
Harlem’s Lafargue Clinic was born into this tradition of free psychoanalytic clinics. It was run out of a parish house basement on New York’s 133rd Street from 1946 to 1958, and the clinic’s staff believed everyone damaged by the color line, and everyone poor, deserved treatment. Visits cost a quarter ($3.90 in 2023), but that ceremonial fee was waived if it was onerous. The staff worked for free. The basement space was furnished for free too, courtesy of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church. Patients were given spare change to cover their taxi fare home if that posed a problem. Framed on its walls and printed inside its brochures were sketches of the man to whom the clinic’s name paid homage: Paul Lafargue, the Cuban-born physician turned communist organizer and Karl Marx’s son-in-law. The Lafargue Clinic was a remarkable if idiosyncratic example of midcentury Freudo-Marxism in the United States. The staff dedicated itself equally to investigating the material bases of psychic disturbance and the alleviation of neurotic suffering......
