Personally, I think the cover could use a little war, or a little anything at all.

The Myth of the Good War: The USA in World War II
Lorimer - 2002
Was the role of the United States in the Second World War an essentially idealistic one, a crusading struggle to conquer the dark forces of German fascism and Japanese militarism? Was it an unequivocally “good” war?
Historian Jacques Pauwels questions this orthodox view of America’s participation in World War Two. In his view, the United States was not the disinterested champion of democracy in the face of dictatorship: its role in the war was determined, rather, by the interests of its corporations and of its social, economic and political elites. His analysis explicitly addresses many of the myths that have since been fostered about the U.S. decision to enter the war alongside the Soviet Union, the U.K. and Canada, and against Nazi Germany.
The Myth of the Good War offers a fresh and provocative look at the role of the USA in World War Two. It spent four months on the nonfiction bestseller lists in Europe in 2000, and has since been translated into German, Spanish and French.

Logseq. It works with Markdown or Org. Joplin is fine but I've moved away from it for Orgzly Revived + Logseq mobile/Emacs Orgmode + Logseq desktop all integrated with each other to do some stuff Logseq and Orgzly cannot do alone.
You will not find a better option honestly I love my tools. Tried a lot of things and this is one that will grow with you and never overwhelm you if you respect it.
Particularly nice to be able to smoothly turn Logseq/Orgmode stuff into LaTeX stuff and use Emacs Zotero integrations. I can publish professional-level papers and articles of pretty much any kind, from the same system where I work on Minecraft mods and remind myself to do house chores so my wife thinks I am a genius (because I am). I could write an entire textbook with it. It feels like being forced to use a revolver for years, and then switching to an AR platform.
Is this more George Galloway/Scott Ritter news? Israeli sources (we never know why alternative media figures were led to believe their sources, by the way, they can lie to them! they can give CIA-sourced "insider info" to "prove" they are in the IRGC or whatever) would get an easy W by claiming this and walking it back. It's the best they have other than claiming all videos of missiles hitting Israel are AI/misattributed.
Two easy-to-explain crossovers here are the event where Jill Stein, Cornell West, and Claudia de la Riva all did a joint "vote out fascism" drive, and the No Kings rallies.
Another issue with PSL I neglected to mention is their social media focus. It's a requirement to post like it's your job and have zero opsec!
Main issue with orgs related to or following the same strategy as PSL is the form of their organizing, not necessarily the stances they take ideologically. They're NGOs doing recruitment drives, not mass movements. There is a reason why they ultimately try to form a coalition with democrats! They're rebranded progressives/US Green Partiers
Their main thing is aggressing on influencer social democrat projects (in a way I would argue is mutualistic) and baiting ESL speakers in the global south. You can tell they're some kind of operation because the algorithm doesn't just allow them, they get mentions in the New York Times.
People who are selling kids the idea of becoming a content creator for ideology are overall no good. The only good "podcasts" have people like Adnan Husain. Reddit is a large website, inhabited by many Redditors.
I have been Assadmaxxing for years, but it is important to note that he was giving speeches on epic Baathist third way-ism up until like a week before everything went to hell. His government's refusal to engage on a higher level with Russia and China was a major error. It was based on old school Cold War thinking about maintaining sovereignty.
Right this is what worries me since it fits the model I've been working with for this whole conflict. My consolation is that I misjudged how rapidly we would accelerate into the whole oil industry across the region getting decimated. This does allow Iran to maintain MAD in a sense. They are aiming their weapons like they want to kill people at insurance companies via cardiac arrest, it's very calculating. As for Israel independently launching nukes when its entire intelligence-military apparatus is in the hands of the USA, I think that may be unrealistic. We can still skate by without nukes dropping.
