Endorsing a two-state solution is racism. Or, at best, it’s rooted in the sort of shallowness of thought that sustains racism.

Me wearing a blue shirt and a red-and-white keffiyeh.

Two years of USrael genocide, while the vast majority of humans are begging for it to stop, and the vast majority of the world’s leaders do nothing.

Free Palestine, now and forever. 🇵🇸

🤣 that’s a great way to explain it

Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."

"Solution Aversion": Denying a problem when you do not like the solution.

I learned this term yesterday and my life will never be the same.

She called out world leaders for sitting by and watching a live-streamed genocide without taking action.

Three months after my gut crashed, I’m re-introducing the foods I was intolerant to, and…

Dairy, yes. I can eat small amounts of dairy now. But wheat/gluten, hard no. I ate a tiny bit of pita bread and immediately felt sick and got burble gut. Ugh.

No matter how many Klingon episodes I watch, I’ll never understand how that society…….coheres? Everyone is just mean to each other all the time

Mango pickle gives me tongue ulcers but I can’t stop it’s so good argghllmmarghlmarghml

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Feels a lot like the “sure the Democrats aren’t Perfect but they’re so much More Wonderful than the Republicans” while the Democrats were carrying out an active genocide, mocking its victims, and happily building all the roads straight to fascism that Trump is now coasting down right now

Excited to hear from the “sure this site isn’t Perfect but it’s so much More Wonderful than the site whose change of ownership traumatized me so profoundly that I can only express that trauma by throwing a tantrum every time I see a screenshot from it” folks

Omg

👀👀

(I know that emoji is not a crow, don’t @ me)

Can anyone advise me on how to befriend crows? I would like to befriend the crows in my neighborhood. Especially since my surname is Byrne and they’re apparently our sigil 🐦‍⬛

Good, do it, yes, thank you

I also just got to the part of We Don’t Know Ourselves where Haughey fell because his deputy lied about wiretapping journalists like twenty years before….😅

🤣

The shameful part is that Palestinians were always telling the world what's happening & were always getting killed by Zionists. But those deaths were not enough. It took a full blown genocide for most westerners to come around...and even now some people have the audacity to say "it's complicated"

RTÉ’s morning music program is really something…playing the James Bond theme at 7:57am. No gentle Debussy for your commute here

this will only continue to escalate, they want a civil war

This is the home of Diane Goodstein, a federal judge who ruled against Trump last month.

Members of her family were still inside, but survived by jumping out windows.

Just yesterday Stephen Miller claimed left wing judges were terrorists & state power was needed to stop them.

I shouldn’t laugh, but 🤣🤣 his panic is so palpable

It will always amaze me how threatened some people are by confident women. Especially in the arts.

“What if my friends are creating God” 🤣

🤣

🇮🇹This is Italy today — not the UAE or Saudi Arabia (God forbid).
Over 2 million people protested across 100+ Italian cities on Friday, coinciding with a one-day general strike in solidarity with the people of Gaza and the Global Sumud Flotilla. 🇮🇹

God. I have one and a half cocktails, and I wake up after three hours of sleep, wide awake. This is why I don’t drink.

My only “hope,” if you can call it that, is that the bubble will burst within a year tops and all of these projects will be abandoned.
