oh u thought this was a rabbit?

And it’s working — e.g. crowdfunding has plummeted since the fake ceasefire and libs have been on another tear of calling vetted campaigns scams, saying it’s “perverse” to support them and writing Gaza off as a lost cause. Because they WANT it to be. It would be so convenient.

But worst of all, speaking of it in past tense. It rinses the empire’s hands and redirects our boundless grief and righteous fury against each other, away from power, away from Curtis Yarvin and Jared Kushner and Erik Prince and Les Wexner and and and

It’s permission to look away.

They’re already doing this with the past two years of genocide — huge swaths of evidence being wiped by Google, Microsoft, META etc; the continued insistence that we just got tricked by TikTok; disparaging “omnicause” framing meant to invalidate the interconnected nature our struggles; fed-jacketing

“Vax & Relax” let people off the hook while the virus continues spreading and mutating and evading vaccines few have stayed up to date on and RFK Jr will likely ban. It gave some the confidence to call masking “anti-vax” and dismiss anyone presenting research like they’re yelling about gay frogs.

I hear vIrTuE sIgNaL (also Purity Test™️) 100x more from liberals these days. Same people who spent years attacking Alice Wong for calling out Biden’s failures around covid, which got MUCH worse when she started Crips for eSIMS. Same people cheering on ICE in Dearborn.

They want to be unburdened from responsibility to others without being compared to 2020 MAGA, even while repeating their bs justifications — “you have to live your life! Only olds and cripples die! Wow just stay home if you’re so scared of a cold! Virtue signal!!”

Anyone else noticed an uptick in people referring to the genocide in past tense?

It feels similar to covid in a way that really worries me. Everyone WANTS it to be past tense, it suits capital/empire to pretend as much and a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ~2 years in was all the absolution most people needed

He kicked 50 million people off unemployment, ended eviction moratoriums, and kicked 30 million people off their healthcare
but it's pretty obvious that didn't affect you
but hey, I got this cool coupon for 30% off funeral expenses, so I should be happy, right?
RIGHT?

I think this is very much a part of the recent “OMG THE USELESS EATERS ARE CHEATING BY HAVING MORE TIME ON EXAMS THAN MY GENETICALLY SUPERIOR OFFSPRING” stuff from the Atlantic/Abundance/pro-genocide crowd

Yes.

Disabled people have been ringing this bell for ages — oh sorry I mean “fakers have been whining about their fake suffering and we’ve been far too focused on pretending they’re ‘humans’ worthy of anything at all in this world” did I do it right, israeli prison guards at @theatlantic.com?

Derek Thompson @DKThomp This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics. - At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled - At Amherst: more than 30 percent - At Stanford: nearly 40 percent Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving [disability] accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago." As students and their parents have recognized the benefits of claiming disability-extended time on tests, housing accommodations, etc—the rates of disability at colleges, and especially at elite colleges, has exploded. America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally. It simply does not make any sense to have a policy that declares half of the students at Stanford cognitively disabled and in need of accommodations.

Don Wolt @tlowdon "America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally." Well said. We've valorized disability in much the same as we treat minority status. >> Cream @TaterLatke681 [user has a “Je Suis CHARLIE” profile pic] Supreme Court Justice Jackson actually compared being black to a disability, so spot on observation. 01:24 • 12/3/25 • 53 Views

SnowStormYou @snowstormyou Welcome to Self ID! You can self identify as a woman, as disabled, anything you want and you *must* be accommodated.

Well hey at least tons of Nazis agree with you, @dkthomp.bsky.social! That must mean you’re on the right path! Abundance!

the purpose of the democratic party is to pretend to be against republicans while using all their power and energy to destroy anyone who actually is

Hosam sent me a video of the drones he has to endure despite the ceasefire:

Those in power (including your favorite dems) have decided this is acceptable

Learning so much about effective altruism this week!

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Muhammad. Muhammad worked in his father’s electrical appliances store but it was destroyed. He is using his fundraiser to help his 17 year old brother Muhannad who was shot while trying to get aid at the US site and had his spleen removed

There are more Black people incarcerated today than there were people in chattel slavery in 1865. Most are in for profit prisons, many working for no pay or incurring forced debts.

Idk about “fixed” there, bud.

Some of the beautiful cakes Heba used to make

The "goal" is to replace doctors & nurses for poor people with GenAI chatbots that will "telehealth" you a prescription for ivermectin, cod liver oil, unregulated supplements, etc.

All the worst abusers I’ve known deployed this tactic and continue to evade accountability (big LCK fans incidentally)

“No but I’m self-aware! I can poke fun at myself [in a way that suggests my worst offenses are being a bit obtuse at times and anyone saying otherwise is untrustworthy/malicious]!”

I think they actually surpassed Bill Maher levels of unearned confidence, sneering condescension, and thinly veiled disdain for any discussion of Palestinian suffering

Like I’m genuinely blown away that they were comfortable smirking THAT much while saying so much horseshit, it’s astounding

The same journalist who watched Israel and the US kill 245 Palestinian journalists without objection? The same journalists who watched Sam Husseini get dragged out by security for asking Blinken about the genocide? Those journalists?

Leslie Lee III: Funeral for a Friend Explaining the one important lesson that he wanted you to learn.

Hi, folks. I wrote about my buddy @leslieleeiii.bsky.social. He had #LongCOVID and passed away this week. Thanks for reading. adamumak.medium.com/leslie-lee-i...

Please start taking COVID seriously before more people have to suffer and die.

this was leslie's last post on twitter. he was a tremendous advocate on covid and worked desperately for himself, and for you and me, to be safer. and he had long covid for the last years of his life.

please start taking covid seriously.

YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations The tech giant deleted the accounts of three prominent Palestinian human rights groups — a capitulation to Trump sanctions.

“It is outrageous that YouTube is furthering the Trump administration’s agenda to remove evidence of human rights violations and war crimes from public view.“
