German police beating up women who were supporting Palestinian justice during an international women’s march in Berlin on #InternationalWomensDay 🎥 Unpublished.de

Speaking as a labor guy here, but a nation that often doesn’t believe in solidarity is learning how dangerous life is without it.

We have continued to track Israeli military conduct since the ceasefire came into effect on 19 January. Our analysis confirmed 16 attacks on civilians and multiple incidents in which urban and civilian infrastructure was destroyed between 19 January and 9 February. tinyurl.com/FA-ceasefire...

80% of Nazi leadership received cushy jobs after WW II. 30% of those were recruited by the US. Most white cops who kill people-of-color in the U.S. get promotions. Kyle Rittenhouse is a celebrity. None of these dudes will face consequences. That's why they're not ashamed or afraid to do it

Heads up for tomorrow, fellas. It’s November 19. Every year.

The Democratic leadership needs to be cleaned out. They're controlled opposition. They will not save you. The sooner everyone realizes this the better.

a well-oiled ratcheting fascism machine doesn't even squeak any more

Whether Trump is a "Russian asset" or not, he would have gone nowhere politically without a massive cadre of enablers and sycophants in conservative politics and media. Their interests are identical to Russia's upper echelon - greed, lust for power, and the need for cultural subjugation.

The West has Long Demanded of Palestinians what Trump Demanded of Ukraine — and More

The Labor Party is caught in a cycle of trying to seek permission from the wrong people.

This is literal fascist propaganda. Anyone making this claim is not just wrong. They are actively contributing to the far right ability to walk over this country like Jesus on water. They don’t actually want to fight to protect the country from fascism they just want to go back to having brunch.

Anyway. Congratulations to Russia on winning the Cold War. The long game worked.

trump: no suit, Zelensky? disrespectful. disrespectful to the oval office. disrespectful to the american peopleee musk [enters wearing jorts]: I’m late because my dick implant was leaking

It’s frustrating to see Americans continue to speak in the framework of “it’s going to be a long 4 years”. Guys, you’ll be lucky if it’s *just* 4 years. Push back. Now. Or lose your country.

wiping out the government of an entire nation is an act of war, and it should be understood as such, regardless of whether it was an inside job

Here's me. 'Nazi oligarchs have seized treasury control of an authoritarian White House and everyone seems kinda chill about it'

The last couple of days in Australian higher education have been pretty damn depressing in terms of what it all means for academic freedom. The culture wars are well and truly back on.

Israel’s West Bank Offensive looks very much like a Prelude to Annexation

@omarsakr.bsky.social (pictured at right in this preview image) said: "When art must serve the government’s political agenda, it’s no longer art, it’s propaganda" YEAH

"Refaat Alareer’s poetic breath will always be the wind that blows our word stones. May he rest in Palestine."

I've been staring at the second half of this headline for five minutes.

bunch of employees who work at the government facility where they keep ET wet freaking out because they need five things for the email but all they did last week was spray water on ET

Ahead of Adrian Collette's senate hearing, David Pledger reflects on the state of censorship, control and interference in Australia’s art funding

I agree more than Gaza was at stake- when people ignored a genocide for perceived political gain they made literally the entire world more dangerous because they showed everyone that there are no norms and no rules that have to be followed. And that imperial boomerang? It’s gonna hit ya

Again, whether people vote D or R, USians seem primarily motivated by their perceived enemies’ suffering. The left will never gain power without a politics of solidarity and abundance. The sneering spite is both self destructive and pathetic

The focus on the "white working class" and their "legitimate concerns" about immigration is always about splitting the working class to prevent radical change to the economic system This has been going on for two centuries

Nazis would love nothing more than to designate a special place to send the Jews to. Ethno nationalism is a dead end

Here is an old post Those of us who are academics who study the far right and authoritarian movements like the fascist movement w/in the Republican Party tried to warn you so many times Biden’s genocide was setting the stage for the collapse of American democracy. You told us we were terrorists.

Doc Neeson's family has condemned the National Socialist Network's hijacking of the classic The Angel's song "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again." Link to post: www.facebook.com/615415007/po...

As a historian of early modern Europe, I guess I’m grateful to Emil Bove in that any time I need to envision a cruel inquisitor, a corrupt courtier, a zealous witch-hunter, or a puritanical censor, I just picture him

Ben Jennings on the myth of America’s past.

Tonight on Spin we're joined by Peter Lalor, who was recently told by SEN that his commentary would no longer be required after sharing posts relating to Gaza. Plus: Cairo Takeaway, the caravan, Khaled Sabsabi, and what it means for media more broadly www.rrr.org.au from 7pm, or podcast tmw

Last year the NGA had an exhibition of Paul Gauguin’s work, which was opened by Prime Minister Albanese. Gaugin was a pedophile rapist with three Native child “brides” in Polynesia. The NGA and Albanese both defending this but apparently the Palestinian flag is a step too far.

EXCLUSIVE: Two Palestinian flags on a tapestry on display at the National Gallery of Australia have been concealed with white fabric, in what the artists have described as an act of censorship they only agreed to reluctantly.

AUKUS will be used for generations as an example of the perfect meeting of dumb policy and dumb politics.

So if Donald Trump isn't sitting in the Oval Office, committed to doing the hard work, then how do you libs explain THIS?
