“I found her ring in the rubble, blackened, but I could still see our names engraved inside. I held it so tight it cut my palm. I didn’t feel it. All I felt was her absence.” I talked with twenty people in Gaza after the ceasefire, who shared raw, heart-wrenching stories of grief, loss, and hope.

Elon Musk’s AI said he and Trump deserve the death penalty

They’re so delusional they think flagging Trump will still be alive in 2028.

Hey cville people, if you're at all concerned about the spineless behavior coming from Congressional Republicans you should call in to our Representative's "telephone townhall!" If my calls to his DC office are any indication they'll just hang up on you, but better something than nothing!

The Communist Manifesto was published by Marx and Engels 177 years ago today. It scared people so badly that the less bright ones have turned Jesus into a capitalist.

The wording is demonic. It not only threatens extermination, it also references something similar to the Thousand Year Reich ("we are here, until the end of time").

He was arrested for criticizing Zionism in general and a Zionist named Dahlia Kurtz. An intellectual being jailed for criticizing a brute should ring some bells in the more aware people out there. www.middleeasteye.net/news/promine...

The electricity crisis poses a major obstacle and challenge in front of my family, which has two students studying online. In addition, I lost my source of work and my father’s work, and I want to keep my voice heard to support my campaign. Please donate if you can. 🔗 tinyurl.com/HelpRuaa

Predictably the ADL is silent on Bannon's Nazi salute. The main reason is self-preservation-- they're keeping their head down to preserve access to the Trump White House around pro-Israel antisemitism policy. Keeping their 'eyes on the prize' as Greenblatt condescendingly

UVA to a law student organizing legal defense for other veterans: you are a credit to this university, have a scholarship UVA to that same law student, quietly & peacefully protesting the ethnic cleansing of Palestine: get out news.virginia.edu/content/pat-...

Looks like @nytimes.com has stealth-edited this to add Evans' affiliation with Young Republicans. No correction or update note. I don't think I've ever worked with a single editor who would let me get away with that but it seems to happen regularly over there.

The fact the Board of Visitors is having a meeting to discuss and decide on the civil and human rights of others is vile. Human rights and civil rights are not up to debate. If you think they are you’re a simple bigot like many on the BOV.

One aspect of this dystopia that annoys me no end: people confusing "rights" with "powers". These secret cops are given powers and privileges, not "more rights". Rights are what we possess that state actors with powers infringe upon. That's what the age old fight has always been about.

"Anonymous, secret police of a crazed oligarch given new powers by the state" has never gone well. "Now that members have been deputized, they have more rights and could be authorized to carry weapons on federal grounds." www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

"Western media outlet caves to crazed advocate of genocide"

They got scared by the psychopath with a chainsaw.

Bannon doing the 88. He still gets Seinfeld residuals, unsurprisingly.

Malcolm X, one of the greatest Americans in our bloody history, murdered 60 years ago today. mondoweiss.net/2024/03/malc...

What's important to remember is that Trump doesn't joke. He doesn't know how to tell a joke, he doesn't know what they're for, he doesn't know what they are. He knows cruelty, and power, and dominance, and his "jokes" are just him being too excited about cruelty to keep it secret.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

There are a lot of reasons to destroy even nominal public ownership of USPS. Oligarchy hates public ownership, for one. "The postal system...does not crush the people, but it would if it were in private hands." -From "Appeal To Reason’, March 3, 1900, pg 1 www.marxists.org/history/usa/...

A very useful thread clearly outlining the law re: UVA's hospital & gender-affirming care.

Israeli parliamentarian Ofer Cassif shares the following image and caption, drawing parallels between Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz’s announcement of a new agency to facilitate the “voluntary departure” of residents from Gaza, and Nazi Germany’s actions 86 years ago.

Musk's AI is dumber than Trump. garymarcus.substack.com/p/grok-3-bet...

Jabotisnky's kids are fighting. It might be too much to hope that they wipe each out.

"empty buses"

Israel’s genocide on Gaza isn’t over—but right now, it’s turning its sights on the West Bank, where over 40,000 Palestinians have already been forced from their homes. Ethnic cleansing doesn’t pause—it expands. Cartoon by Carlos Latuff.

Mordechai Brafman shot at two Jewish people 17 times & hit them b/c he thought they were Palestinian. He faces 15 years & no hate crime charges. Briana Boston said "delay deny defend" to Blue Cross. She faces 15 years on terror charges. This is Florida. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-horrif...

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:
