Israel has long used undercover forces posing as Palestinians to sow strife. Today, it is using this strategy again in Gaza in the form of the gangs taking control over humanitarian aid. The goal is to fragment and dismember Palestinian society. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/isra... #Palestine #Israel

there really seems to be a strange “green lantern theory of fascism” that some people on this website have internalized, in which the white house’s desire for martial law — it’s desire for organized repression — is tantamount to a guarantee that it will happen

Trump has federalized at least 2,000 National Guard forces and reportedly plans to deploy troops to Los Angeles over Governor Newsom’s objections. If that happens, it will be the first time since 1965 that a president has sent troops into a state without a state request. 1/19

Don't listen to the people bleating on social media that "no one is doing anything." What they are actually saying is that THEY aren't doing anything. The reality is that folks are working in every corner of the world, doing so much to keep themselves and others alive, while building the future.

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Just want to speak to folks in climate and clean energy here. It's not too late to change the culture of fear and punishment in our corner of the world for speaking up about defunding the police and moving into the aligned movements against fascism. But it will take serious, sustained work.

Watch this video. RFK Jr says, of Makary, Bhattacharya & Prasad, "we're friends, we talk to each other every day, we go to dinner with each other, we go on vacations with each other, & we genuinely enjoy each other's company." I can NEVER forgive Makary, Bhattacharya, & Prasad for boosting RFK Jr 😡

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities. Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

Yesterday, at 87, my dad & former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, stood for an hour by the road in his old riding. As a Jewish elder, he stood against genocide embodying the values he has always championed. I am so proud to see him on the right side of history – as always. ❤️

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

The German state not only doesn’t want you go make parallels to the Holocaust, it doesn’t want you to make parallels to the German genocide against the Herero and Nama bcs that genocide was also done in the name of ‘self-defense’, just like Israel’s genocide in Gaza - which Germany supports - is.🧵
