And there it is. Same holds for activists, writers, "free speech" orgs, arts institutions and everyone else who has been silent for 15 months.

Gaza: Israeli forces used 80-year-old Palestinian as human shield before killing him - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-israeli-forces-used-80-year-old-palestinian-human-shield-killing-him

Gaza has already been leveled by Biden. The difference between Biden and Trump is that the former wanted to ethnically cleanse Palestinians by killing them, the latter wants to ethnically cleanse Palestinians via forced deportation. Both are evil. Palestinians want you, Americans, to object to both.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

the thing is that fascists lie, so there's really nothing to gain by reading what they say, especially to press. It's just a marketing opportunity for them.

I and many others warned that the anti-CRT, anti-DEI propaganda campaign that so many embraced or down played was always about creating the narrative for and paving the way for a larger attack on civil rights. We are here.

Are you a Northwestern alumnus? Do you believe in fairness? Do you think starting a second investigation after finding no fault in a first is harassment? Email [email protected] and tell them you won't ever give them a dime bsky.app/profile/thra...

I saw this a couple of weeks ago… and it is an utterly heartbreaking masterpiece. I have not been able to get it out of my head or heart. #FreePalestine

Two disturbed guys rent trucks and commit public acts of violence to deliver explicit ideological messages: one gets the scare story about who radicalized him, the other gets a sympathetic, nonpolitical account of his trauma

The actual released Palestinian hostages versus the photo the Associated Press attached to their headline. This is what “Zionist media” means.

Biden said let some future president pardon Leonard Peltier after he dies in prison I guess that’s how I feel about this

I'm reading news of an imminent ceasefire deal. I'm praying that the violence truly stops, that we don't see drawn-out death by another name. I pray that we all stay alert and awake regardless of what comes next. None of us are free until Palestine is free and a ceasefire is not freedom.

“When a ceasefire is announced, I will just run. No one ask me where. I myself don’t even know. I will just run, and run. …the important thing is to arrive at a quiet place: a place that allows me to weep for a long time.”

This is a must read. The US is fully complicit in Isra*l’s genocide. Biden, the State department and the NSC co-signed it all. Shameful.

My friend and colleague Anas Al Sharif of Al Jazeera Arabic channel is up on the shoulders of people in Gaza, announcing the news of the ceasefire deal. He's taken off the Press vest!!! People across Gaza are celebrating, cheering, and crying happy tears.

The media has focused on wealthy, White neighborhoods. But the fire in Altadena--a racially and economically diverse suburb--deserves more attention, because insurance may not cover their rebuilding costs, forcing families out and leading the neighborhood to gentrify. www.reuters.com/world/us/far...

The things we are forced to manage through Gofundme as a human race are absurd — feeding people through a genocide as our taxes go to kill them, housing people through a fire as not enough of our taxes go to save them. All in the world’s richest country.

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

I often wonder how this investigation is going? Rents are out of control… and the number of unhoused just continues to grow. This is essentially collusion… and needs to stop.
