Belgium’s Arrest of IDF Soldiers Could Be a Watershed Moment Belgium’s detention of Israeli soldiers over alleged war crimes in Gaza has set a historic precedent for holding Israel to account for its war crimes. And it’s a sign that the tide is turning against Israel.

My dear friend Tania Daou Alam is a Lebanese lawyer who lost her husband of 20 years and life partner, Jean-Frederic Alam, in the Beirut Port explosion five years ago today.

Grateful to Tania who took time on this painful anniversary to share how the fight for justice continues.

if you want to have a nice and relaxing sunday, do not watch the new Hulu documentary on Hurricane Katrina. if you want to shake with rage and anger over the total failure of this nation's government and media establishment, watch the Hulu documentary on Katrina (this is a recommendation)

this would be my ideal Sunday

Unforgiven (1992) and Unforgiven at Sphere (2025) Top image is the iconic opening sunset silhouette of a barn and one bare tree, the bottom image an absurdly extrapolated version of the same such that the barn and tree are 1% of the image and the image is almost entirely sky

Apparently its "exploiting seriously ill children" when media presents their photos as examples of how bad the genocide/situation in Gaza is, but its "ethical" to use those children's disabilities or illnesses to argue that Israel isn't actually committing genocide or starving Palestinians

She's right. What is lost in every single discussion of the resolution of this war is that the IDF *cannot* defeat Hamas.

Being right wing is so hard bc you’re not allowed to acknowledge any actual phenomena that shape the world, so when you try to describe something you just end up sounding like if a person speaking in tongues worshipped the internet instead of god

This is actually incredible

Now that U.S. officials have wrapped up their visit to Potemkin aid distribution sites in Gaza, the IDF can resume the regularly scheduled shooting of desperate people seeking food.

This cheesed me off at Twitter and it cheeses me off here. Nobody wants to click through 45 replies to figure out what the fuck you're arguing about. And especially nobody wants to see you showing off for your followers or putting somebody on blast via QT. Unfollowed for this there, will do it here.

The extent to which a sense of entitlement infects the psychology of an insecure man is impossible to overstate, and the projection of these insecurities onto the woman is the means for addressing it

Which again is the result of the entitlement the patriarchy teaches men to have towards women. The average schlub is filled with anxiety over his attraction to a woman who is clearly out of his league, and thanks to this entitlement reacts with resentment to the "rejection" of her paying him no mind

Sometimes I think of how only two generations of us were even allowed to attend these settler colonial ass universities in tiny, awkward handfuls, and how even that was too much

Was reading yet another treatise on the crisis with young men yesterday and thinking the same. In what household do we get our guidance from Andrew Tate? Because it isn't in mine, with my boys, not with me and their mother to say anything about it.

The biggest revelation I've had about this conflict is how oppression dehumanizes not only the oppressed, but also the oppressor. It turns a moral, reasoning person into an inhumane brute, motivated only by base fears and hatred, incapable of acting even in their own self interest.

They don't care what the experts have said, they don't care about the ICJ case, it's just vibes to them. So all Israel had to do to avoid this was let enough food in so that we wouldn't watch Palestinians starve in real time, and they can't even manage that

The reason people are coming around on the term "genocide" is because to their ignorant minds starving people to death is definitely genocide and none of the other shit Israel has done is genocide no matter how much legal scholars say it is or how much Israel does it, and that's it

wow this fucking sucks

well of all the places to find out, but I'll take it
