The dual loyalty to a rules based world order that rots the Neoliberal heart of the West was introduced the day we decided to hang Nazis in Nuremberg while building an anti-socialist world with them across multiple hemispheres. Every Gazan child’s fate was sealed that day. Evil comes full circle.

White Western Christofascists abide the brutality of Israel’s Zionist settler colonialism because even though many of them are Nazi-aligned antisemites, their faith in apocalyptic prophecy and their interest in the pilot of a Judeo-Christian ethnostate in contrast to BIPOC sovereignty comes first.

The irony of being a Leftist in the West, where we have been demonized for being staunchly anti-fascist by conservatives and liberals alike, and where we now face a totalitarian police state hellbent on suppression and detention of any resisting their settler colonial and ethnic cleansing projects.

The simple truth of Gaza is this: If you time and again state you cannot wage a war against terror without the slaughter of civilians - that there is no other way - you are admitting that your war is not against terror - it is against civilians. And a war against civilians is a genocide.

Democrats plan is now to allow your life to get bad enough that you rise up and defend democracy for them while they go on book tour.

The people that should be leading the charge defending democracy from fascism and the world from genocide are instead defending Israel from op-eds while our collective coffin is nailed shut.

The fact that Democrats are saber rattling at Iran while domestic fascists dismantle the Administrative State, habeas corpus, and free speech protections piece by piece as they actively fund a genocide is directly the result of their utter coopting by lobby interests and Zionist ideology.

Our ability to compete with China on the global stage now rests entirely on the assertion that a stoned 22yr old can write regex perfectly

When you want Americans to be arrested for helping America's allies fight America's enemy, that can only mean one thing: You are one of America's enemies.

When the head of FEMA admits under oath they are unaware of hurricane season, do you think you live in a safe country? It’s not immigrants making you unsafe. It’s not terrorists. It’s Trump’s know-nothing cronies running our nation and the world like a ship of fools.

Liberalism too!

MAGA is an op and all the so called ā€œinfluencersā€ that propagate it are propagandists and operatives. They aren’t entertainment or practicing free speech, they are carrying out an attack.

I’m no lawyer, but if I were the MIT commencement speaker who was just accused of ā€œspreading blood libelsā€ by the head of the ADL, I’d sure be contacting one.

Russia was planning operation Zeus to murder thousands of civilians across Ukraine on the night of June 1 to get an upper hand with negotiations in Istanbul, that was until Ukraine’s operation web declawed them and destroyed nearly half their strategic bombers. Russia aborted the mission.

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

They want to you be more afraid of random acts of reactionary violence from lone individuals than the US-backed Israeli-murder machine which daily: - Kills aid workers and humanitarians - Kills civilians, mostly women and children - Maintains a brutal apartheid which creates antisemitism abroad.

Ukraine is the most moral army in the world today, the highest level of professionalism has been taken to avoid civilian deaths. They are a pillar of international law and democracy. Many could stand to learn from their example.

I had a hunch what was coming and I still *gasped*.

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

In the 19th century, a New Orleans doctor sent the skulls of 19 Black Americans to a doctor in Germany, where they were used as part of now discredited racial science. The remains were recently returned to the city, where they will be laid to rest on Saturday.

Except he literally promised to do just that you fucking morons. We need to stop creating safe spaces for lack of critical thought.

Fossil fuel authoritarianism. As grassroots AQ monitoring took off, the LA state govt passed the Community Air Monitoring Reliability Act, which required any community group to buy extremely expensive EPA-standard equipment, or face fines for posting AQ info. www.fastcompany.com/91340103/lou...

When the people of the world cry out against genocide… We speak with a higher authority than any court or nation… Any creed or coalition… We speak with one voice as defenders of life itself, a universal community of peers who demand a better world from our leaders, and rebuke the cruelty of war.

ā€œNever Againā€ means nothing carved in stone. We live it or we fail. Free Palestine šŸ‡µšŸ‡ø

If Gaza is us saving the world, someone should save the world from us.

Absolutely insane levels of blatant fascism.

We should regard the slaughter of children with the same revulsion as chattel slavery - a high crime against humanity itself from another age. It should receive no moral quarter. That our media equivocates about the severity or necessity of the killing is akin to both sides-ing abolition.

We guard the future not only by remembering the past, but by acting on the wisdom gained through hindsight. Remembrance alone is hollow. Justice requires we apply the values we propose to preserve through memory in real time. Sadly, in a world post ā€œNever Againā€, ā€œAgainā€ unfolds each day in Gaza.

On this Memorial Day, we should weep at the hypocrisy of our nation for all those fallen soldiers who believed in the cause of freedom and justice as they went to their graves under a flag that now presides proudly over the smoldering corpses of innocent children.

Civilian deaths in Ukraine can be directly tied to our inaction, or rather, our complicity in Gaza. When a rules-based world order that seeks to sanction strongmen presides over the first live-streamed child holocaust in human history, it shows evil they have free rein. And the innocent pay.

Our leaders have one message for us and it is clear: The price of Empire and its bounty is the blood of children. If that price were asked of you at the altar to any god, you’d call it a cult. But for Capitalism and the Military Industrial Complex? A normal pound of flesh. This cannot go on.

As I watch the Right’s inability to comprehend the blatant antifascism of Andor we must remember reactionary grift is nothing new in the fandom. After all, it was 40yo incels that gave a child actor and a black guy doing mo-cap C-PTSD for doing their jobs in 1999 before social media even.

The maintenance of the status quo under techno-feudalism was already pulling at the seams of our minds in 2019. Then COVID shattered a veil. Now Gaza has broken another. Existing in a ā€œnormativeā€ state now requires full self-delusion at a scale heretofore unseen and its consequences will be dire.

We were not born to be our labor potential. Each and every person has the intrinsic right to dream beyond being a vector of capital. We could be so much more, our individual potential trapped, muting collective capacity for collaboration instead of violence, prosperity instead of ecocide, etc.

If you think a scientist using multi-syllabic words is an elitist conspiracy but billionaires existing off the back of labor exploitation is pro-worker you might have MAGA brain rot.

We have a deep understanding of the evil of chattel slavery today - we can name it and call it out. What do we call a system of control where 100 people could work for nearly a million years at their current wage and not make what a single billionaire could in a year? Capitalism isn’t good enough.

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

When Liberals in the US cite social democracies like the Nordic states or our Canadian neighbors as examples of a better path, they ignore the ways in which these states’ positions are knowingly and willingly bought via complicity in the horror of global capitalism and genocide.

This is real. ā€œSuck it.ā€ The Secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security.

White supremacy is when victims of localized violence receive more media attention and humanization than a single one of the 53,000 (undercount) victims of apartheid and genocide in Gaza.

If even two lives are sacred, what say we to the indiscriminate slaughter of tens of thousands day by day?

When elected officials on either side of the bipartisan spectrum speak ill of the UN or ICC they speak ill of a rules based world order just like Putin and all other Dictators.

Microsoft is censoring company emails containing the words ā€œPalestineā€ or ā€œGazaā€. This is totalitarianism. We are not a free society. We never use the muzzle of the state to stifle hate, only compassion.

Patrick Gaspard was the U.S. ambassador to South Africa from 2013 to 2016. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø šŸ‡æšŸ‡¦

That US Empire uses the term genocide so flippantly to refer to backless claims of violence against Afrikaners while the world equivocates over what unfolds in Gaza is an international disgrace.

Oh my God He took the plane šŸ˜¬šŸ’€āœˆļøšŸ‘‘
