How to Hide a Genocide Naming Gaza's mounting famine a humanitarian crisis rather than a facet of genocide allows Western powers to continue their unshakable alliance with Israel and their rejection of all efforts to hold i...

"While any recognition of Palestinian suffering may seem like a victory, it’s a mistake to see these recent statements as evidence of a pivot towards finally confronting Israel’s war against the Palestinian people — let alone doing something about it."

Defending the Indefensible As Western governments repress Palestine solidarity and enable Israel’s impunity, the “liberal international order” is no longer bothering to manufacture consent.

As Western governments crack down on Palestine solidarity and shield Israel from accountability, the so-called “liberal international order” has stopped even pretending to seek consent.

@alfatau.bsky.social breaks it down:

In a topsy-turvy world where Afrikaners are “refugees” and civil rights are for white men, every accusation is a confession. @alfatau.bsky.social dives into the disinformation, myths and conspiracy theories surrounding the politics of white grievance.

These days, it seems as if the ‘liberal international order’ can’t even be bothered to manufacture consent, resorting instead to censorship, legislative overreach and police repression. @alfatau.bsky.social on the latest crackdowns on Palestine solidarity:

Unbuild Walls

Trump's detention plans depend on ICE leasing (or buying) cages from states or counties. We need to monkeywrench those processes and destroy those cages -- or as @silkys13.bsky.social puts it, "Unbuild Walls"

"In capitalism, the exploited generations of the dead weigh heavy upon us as inert fixed capital, chaining us to the law of value. But infrastructure can also be a gift from the past to present, as it would be in communism, a materialized ancestry."

Depicting (but also understanding) social reality as a trash TV show, unashamed *and* ridiculously deranged commercialization of dehumanization, fascist aesthetic and ideology. Ladies and gentlemen, the US government.

Mark Carney caves to Trump and the tech industry Canada’s decision to rescind its digital services tax shows it’s “elbows down” in US trade talks

Mark Carney’s decision to rescind Canada’s digital services tax is a cowardly move that shows Trump he can be pressured into making trade concessions.

It also shows how much Carney is willing to give into corporate demands, and particular those of the tech industry.
