nah it completely makes sense when you realise that starmer is a liberal-coded fascism enabler

54 years of the brutal Assad regime and Israel found itself with an ideal neighbour. Now that Syria has the potential for any form of democracy Israel wants to make sure there can be no functional state left. To have Israel as your neighbour is a curse I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemies.

Just finished the latest by @quinnslobodian.com. Offers a lot of historical clarity on the right-libertarian/neoliberal to hard right pipeline that's been broadly speculated on. The chapters on IQ and race...

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

I drive long distances for my job, so my self-driving Cybertruck helps reduce my exhaustion. so what if killing off a couple of people off the road is the price for that?

people are creative af. this is how we know resistances will live even when oppressive powers send a thousand storms and armies any which way.

shame

Every one of these sentences is wild

In which Israel's most read daily newspaper obliquely describes stealing hundreds of millions of dollars designated for starving refugees. To be clear, the Israeli govt used billions of shekels in food and medical funds for Gaza to pay themselves. https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/01/12/1026727/

I think a really important way to counter what's coming is IRL organizing. Being offline over the holidays and coming back, it is really jarring how much of social media is rage-baiting or resistance dooming. You can't build in these environments.

Burn the goddamn data centers.

uh oh the world’s oldest scammers and its newest are collabbing

Italy's record of "innovative solutions" on asylum includes an ongoing border externalisation deal with Libya that Amnesty found has subjected more than 40,000 people to "unimaginable suffering", including torture. The UK's recent Iraq deal signals worryingly similar ambitions to lock people out.

“The horrifying fact is that we are not citizens in democracies, addressing our governments to redress injustice. If that were the case, we would have won a long time ago. We are disenfranchised people, facing governments taken over by industry actors, who welcome inequality and suffering”

It didn't burst into flames. It exploded in a massive ball of fire. If you buy one of these you shouldn't be able to get insurance. Also, you are a moron.

With almost the entire Western system of suppression against Palestinian stories working against him, Rasheed has still managed to bring Dreams on a Pillow to 75% of the campaign goal with two weeks left. Please don't let this dream fail in the last stretch. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

As David Graeber explains, the Neo-Liberal myth that Free-Market policies will end bureaucracy, is well a Myth!

This is the reality of life in north Gaza, which has been totally under siege for 40 days. I will share a few accounts from Palestinians there who need help and who have asked me to help share their stories with you. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Is there any greater symbol of Palestinian persistence than bringing forth life from random seeds? Help and follow Mohamed for an understanding of how people in Gaza are trying to survive.

5000 years ago some Irish folk built a burial tomb engineered exactly to maximize sunlight during the winter solstice.

In response to the attack in Germany Elon's been tweeting about "the weight of woke idealism" and "the influx of asylum seekers" and demanding to know why the attack suspect wasn't extradited. Meanwhile, the attack suspect turns out to be a big Elon fan, and claims what Musk's say is true.

Trans and intersex people in the UK need you to be loud about the new "deception as to sex" guidance released which makes trans and intersex people legally guilty of rape if we don't disclose our gender identity and/or the sex we were assigned at birth before sex. This especially harms sex workers!

What a headline… www.newsweek.com/luigi-mangio...

Aaron Swartz died because rapacious capitalists insisted that sharing knowledge and ideas — not for profit but to enrich society — was theft. Now we have a whole Silicon Valley industry devoted to undoing artistic copyright, and for what? Fake emails and shitty advertising copy.

Absolutely disgrace. Years of trying to lock kids up for Napster, discontinuing movies because of music rights, YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR promo bullsh*t and they're ready to give it ALL away to big tech billionaires

Starting with the theft of native land and Black labor, the history of American business is full of audacious criminality rebranded as “innovation.” ChatGPT is a plagiarism machine that profits from stealing humanity’s collective output and selling it back.

what they want nhs to be

This is BAD NEWS. This is turning the UK creative industries into a freeport for global tech companies. It's as bad news as Musk funding Reform. It's the same news. So much for SoA & ALCS consultations.

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Nanabush encounters a nest of grouse babies and dances with bullrushes. We are surrounded by a world full of other than human life that we would do well to take seriously because it is entirely possible that human destiny is not the point of all this. www.thousandworlds.ca/tricking-the...

🚨UK People🚨 1/7 Your government is proposing a HUGE change to copyright law, where they give away YOUR works to Tech companies to profit from for FREE! A disgusting overreach that will cause irreparable harm to ALL creatives and beyond .You have one chance to stop it, read how below👇
