Dear Media: Halting all aid to Gaza is not "pressuring Hamas." Collective punishment is a war crime. Starvation as a weapon of war is a war crime. Withholding medical care is a war crime. None of this is remotely controversial actually. Israel is doing war crimes, not "pressuring Hamas."

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

If I've got this right, it's fine for Israel to illegally stop all supplies going into Gaza, but if you want to boycott Israeli goods, that counts as racism?

Life is so short. We are all going to die. Imagine choosing to inspire hate instead of sowing love. Imagine choosing profit over people. Imagine seeing the worst rather than hoping for the best. Love is what makes life tolerable and good. Those who take that away are the cruelest, most wretched.

This is why 90% of the world chants "death to America". Endless wars, war crimes and coups and endless American movies made about their endless wars, war crimes & coups...but "this is not who we are" and "this is the most ashamed I've ever been to be American". GTFOOH with that BS

If you asked a centrist to design a campaign, it would be the one Kamala Harris ran. Didn’t touch identity, excluded trans people, pro military, anti immigrant, pro business. And yet these people cannot stop writing op-eds about Democrats being too far left.

Many people seem to think that certain things 'aren't enough' and so either don't do anything or are discouraged. To me, this is part of a learned helplessness AND also part of all or nothing thinking [very USian]. Doing small things ALL OF THE TIME is better than one big thing one time [maybe].+

I'll participate in tomorrow's one day boycott as it's easy for me to do. I am trying to figure out how to sustain a few additional boycott efforts for the long haul. I've already been engaged in BDS focused boycotts for many years.

LLMs like ChapGPT don't know anything. They don't have knowledge. So if you ask them anything you then have to properly check the answer. So you might as well just...start by...getting the answer yourself using proper research, save some time.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

It was about stealing land all along. We told you that again & again. Even they told you that. Then yesterday, Trump showed you that with his repulsive AI video. If you still choose Israel over justice at this stage, we have no more words for you. We don't debate fascists. We knock them out. 👊

The "WHY ISN'T AMERICA PROTESTING RIGHT NOW" takes - even from Americans! - really show how many people are programmed to believe the only "real" action is mass protests. Even with the constant stories of town halls & locals fighting back, people dismiss it because it's not "big." That's a problem.

Look if a man had recently become a bipartisan folk hero for allegedly killing a CEO for denying people healthcare...I'm not sure my opening salvo would be voting to strip a large chunk of a gun toting population of healthcare. That's just me though.

You can't be the opposition party if you're taking money from the opposition. Any hope of restoring Democracy relies on getting corporate and dark money out of politics.

They live in the galaxy brain of "non violence is inherently a winning and moral strategy" because they were never taught about the fact that non-violent movements have always ONLY succeeded with a parallel militant movement.
