Baerbock, Resign From the UNGA Presidency Only a movement millions strong can stop Baerbock's presidency at the United Nations General Assembly.

Annalena Baerbock attacked South Africa’s ICJ case against Israel, rejecting it as "baseless" despite the court’s findings. Now, she's the President of the UN General Assembly.

Reminder that the US under both R and D administrations sent billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia, including illegal cluster munitions, to kill Yemeni kids.

And the US, under both R and D administrations, is still sending billions of dollars in weapons for the UAE to do genocide in Sudan

“This feat was achieved largely through the help of the high school teacher who recognized his relative in the image and sent photos to use for comparison.”

Genuinely maddening this article is giving so much stolen valour to ‘ai’ and not the relatives, volunteers, actual historians, and records!

The image is a two-panel meme featuring scenes from "The Simpsons." 

In the top panel, there is a silhouette of a person smoking a cigarette, with the label "Centrists." The silhouette is dark, and only the cigarette and hand are visible, giving a mysterious vibe.

In the bottom panel, the same scene is revealed in full color, showing a character from "The Simpsons" holding a cigarette. This panel is labeled "Conservatives."

maybe not to people like you who are so invested in denying the genocide but to people with a conscious these things are inseparably linked.

“Democracy has disappeared in several other great nations, not because the people of those nations disliked democracy, but because they had grown tired of unemployment and insecurity, of seeing their children hungry while they sat helpless in the face of government confusion and government weakness through lack of leadership,” FDR said in a 1938 radio address. “Finally, in desperation, they chose to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat.”

There's a very strong argument that the failures of Democrats and liberals to halt the authoritarian takeover comes down to them spending 25 years building an ideology & media infrastructure designed to avoid accepting or even acknowledging the truth of this one FDR quote.

Italy voted for a rightwing government and as a result their left is rising. We saw the same in Brazil (and many other Latin American countries), nations whose people realize that to fix what the right broke, you have to vote left (real left). Sadly the U.S. is not one of them, but it could be

Israel strikes Gaza and orders halt to aid after accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire | CNN Israel carried out several strikes on Gaza and ordered a halt to humanitarian aid after accusing Hamas of violating a US-brokered ceasefire in the first major test of the truce.

We were repeatedly told this would stop if only the hostages are released. We were also told Israel doesn't block aid.

Italy has a 35% unionization rate, which is why this sort of thing works. Rather than going "General strike now!!!" on the internet with no organization or context or plans, and rather than assuming general strikes are fake, do the thing that will get us there eventually: Organize your workplace!

I know it's everyone's gut reaction to say the No King's protests are libbed up and performative but I'm seeing way more "fuck billionaires" and "capitalism only benefits the few" or "fascism is the final stage" posters than last time.

Seems like a lot of people are waking up
