We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

Amazing article. "More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

1. We cannot now rule out the possibility of systemic collapse in the United States. If Trump and Musk paralyse the federal government, this could trigger social, financial and industrial failures. Neither Trump nor his team know how to respond to such failures, which could snowball and converge. 🧵

Professor Des Freedman: “The BBC is utterly failing to inform the public about how the UK military and government is complicit in the horrors of Gaza. This is a national scandal, showing how far away the corporation is from being a public service broadcaster.” www.declassifieduk.org/national-sca...

And yet for 16 months people have been in my comments with "free the hostages." It was never about the hostages. It was only ever about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land, as it has been since 1948.

🚨In a new court submission, the UK government said that supplying F-35 parts to global pools used by Israel is in the interests of "international peace". Global Legal Action Network said: "The UK has made it clear that... nothing will stop the supply of British war plane components".

Katherine Franke, a law professor at Columbia University was forced to retire by the university for pointing out that many of its 'Israeli' students were coming back from serving in the IDF, and were harassing pro-Palestine students. The US is waging a war on its own children for zionism.

The Jerusalem Post reports that the UK & US are “coordinating” with the Israeli military in striking Yemen. This would be evidence of further UK military collaboration with a force promoting genocide in Gaza. www.jpost.com/breaking-new...

Can’t decide whether the funniest part is the Israeli government telling soldiers that the proceedings are “futile” but also please stop posting war crimes, or Lapid saying Netanyahu has failed because Israeli soldiers are behind held accountable for their actions abroad.

I see the Israelis have already grabbed a chunk of Southern Syria. Thereby ensuring they have plenty of "terrorists" (i.e. people who don't want aggressive foreign invaders occupying their country) to fight for another generation. And they are allowed do this of course.

What the IDF did to the nurses and doctors of Kamal Aswan hospital in northern #Gaza. The IDF is nothing more than an army of mass-murderers incapable of behaving in any other way than utter barbarism. #Israel
