Propaganda machine go brrrrrrrrr

Ralph Wiggum talking about how he saw one of the babies and the baby looked at him, but instead the caption reads: "And I saw one of the family voters and the family voter looked at me."

Are people wrong to believe that gaggles of rich people and bought politicians secretly conspire to harm society in their own interests, given we have hundreds of thousands of pages of emails recently released showing millionaires doing exactly that stuff with public officials? Is that paranoia?

Once again: trans rights was & is the pillar holding up the whole of the rest of liberal democracy & the battle to defend trans rights was & is nothing less than battle whose outcome determines the difference between a free, open & tolerant society & a fascist society

"now"

there's a reason they don't teach us social history LOOK 🔥

Hate this guy's guts and think he's being a knob here, but here to point out it's a WWI reference:

The successful judicial review of the Palestine Action proscription was partly grounded in the 1998 Human Rights Act. Something to remember next time you see a member of government in the media saying the UK needs to review its human rights legislation

why is this significant?

May Labour's Yvette Cooper, the former Home Secretary, be remembered always as the politician who imposed the ban at the behest of Britain's powerful weapons industry, so it could continue to profit from the deliberate massacre of the people of Gaza

ISRAEL LITERALLY EVAPORATED PEOPLE in Gaza and that is not a news story that has not gotten enough attention.

Aimé Césaire observed that fascism became objectionable to Europeans only when it unleashed in Europe the brutality they had inflicted on the "inferior" peoples of Asia and Africa. Such insights are verified today at dizzying speed by the contrast between European alarm over Greenland and official indifference to a loudly proclaimed campaign of extermination against Palestinians. Western leaders still smilingly pose for pictures with wanted Israeli war criminals.

Willy Nelson being so upsetting in Thief I got emo on the bus just reading this.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

That’s what the emails reveal, unfortunately: a clique of fascist billionaires are working to destroy democracy to maximise their personal freedom and power, and your governments are ideologically subservient to them, if not actively on the take.

The dude whose company, thanks to Labour, will run our military analytics and to whom Wes Streeting is giving our personal healthcare data.

"You're a perfectly decent man who means well. But you're not a politician, and you knew that all along. And that is why you have to take the blame"

I read this and really, it’s not good enough. If everyone knows the new leader of the opposition is basically a metal bonnet ornament on a car full of bribe-seeking, gleefully destructive psychopaths, and this does not ring alarms or in any way impede his progress to power, then *that* is the issue.

Mandelson would never have been exposed by the British media if it wasn't for the US DOJ dumping all those files. They would have assisted in covering up his role instead, like they've been doing for the past 30 years. They knew what he was and they kept quiet for decades.

"not what Homer wrote" = nice easy way to identify that this isn't a topic you're clued up on but willing to spout strong opinions on anyway

No one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims don’t report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you

PM: I would never have appointed Mandelson had I known full Epstein links The PM says a due diligence process was gone through before Lord Mandelson was appointed US ambassador.

This is like Sooty saying he shouldn’t have hired Matthew www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

i Peter Mandelson Mandelson resigns from Labour to prevent 'further embarrassment' over Epstein links

Keir Starmer made a huge show of purging the Labour Party of a bunch of nobodies making Facebook posts for the national press, but he let this triple-scandal embroiled mentor of his right-hand man Morgan McSweeney see himself out after fraternising with and taking bungs from a child sex trafficker.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

From *the moment* the genocide began, although we couldn't say precisely what form it would take, this was *always* its locked-on final destination: total expropriation of Gaza from the Gazans & international gangster capitalism's accumulation by dispossession

The genocide in Gaza has destroyed what remains of the illusion that the West should determine the future for the rest of the world. The United States and its satellites, having taken the centre stage of history to great fanfare after the fall of the Soviet Union, are now exiting in disgrace. A profound disorientation is the fate of the intellectual class that was created and sustained by the 'American Century. A legacy media whose authority to narrate the world depends on Western assumptions of omniscience is now lost in a ruin of shattered concepts.

From the @equatormag.bsky.social mission statement and damn, was that ever proven 100% correct in short order.

Are we not coming more and more, day by day, to making the statement "I am white," the one fundamental tenet of our practical morality? —W.E.B. Du Bois, "The Souls of White Folk"

"I agree that there is a compelling reason for this difference between how American college students are reacting to Palestine and to Iran, but I don't like that difference, so I am going to dismiss it anyway."
