If a guy across town stabs someone and burns his house down, that's not *necessarily* my problem...

...unless I'm the one providing the knife and kerosene, and am defending his actions and protecting him from consequence.

That's why we protest the genocide in Gaza from within the imperial core.

I wish Zionists who stand with Ukraine would just admit to themselves that they think civilians being besieged by a belligerent foreign aggressor is only wrong when the civilians are white and totally fine when the civilians are Brown.

We’re now in the Second Gilded Age. As in the first, America’s wealth is in the hands of a few, conspicuous consumption exists alongside homelessness and hun... From Robber Barons to Bezos: Is History Repeating Itself? | Robert Reich

Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

The Democrats and Republicans are just two sides of the same war crimes-enabling coin.

Strange how I haven't heard anyone arguing for Syria's right to exist when it's being pummeled by Israel...

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

Let Brian Thompson's legacy inspire you to pick a line of work where if you get gunned down on your way to it, the Internet won't collectively rejoice.

Robocop is a movie about a guy who gets killed on the job and they still made him go back to work

Happy Henry-Kissinger's-Finally-Fucking-Dead anniversary to us all!!

On this day last year, the news broke that Kissinger finally went the way of tens of thousands of Cambodian villagers. Good riddance!

Not letting a little -22 with windchill stop me from showing my solidarity with @cupwsttp.bsky.social

Hasan Piker rightly pushes back on the idea that the Democrats simply need their own Joe Rogan, telling CNN "It's 100% a policy thing," calling for "real left-wing economic populist messaging instead of purposely avoiding that stuff because they're terrified of upsetting their corporate donors."

I find that "what happened to America?" is a question pretty much only white liberals ever ask because for most other people, the answer to the question is "America's working the same as it always has, only now her victims also include some white liberals."

Jesus Christ, the Raptors just can't buy a road win!

Israeli Minister of Communications Shlomo Karhi has ordered a total government boycott of the critically-acclaimed and award-winning news source Haaretz, months after police shut down Al Jazeera offices in the country.

Kind of a weird move for a "free and democratic" society...

Isn't this commemoration of Ukrainian victims of brutal aggression just an anti-Russia event that denies Russia's right to exist??

...oh, my mistake, such hysterical, bad-faith shrieks are only treated as coherent arguments when it comes to Israel.

Ever notice how if you talk about how horrific the assault on Ukraine is and how it must stop, no one asks you to affirm Russia's right to exist?

Almost as if asking whether a state that definitely exists has the right to is a distraction from talking about that state's very real war crimes.

Israel's Ben-Gvir bans Palestinian flag-flying in public The announcement made by Israel's national security minister on Sunday is the latest crackdown on Palestinians by the country's new hard-line government.

"Israel's national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has ordered police to ban Palestinian flags from public places. His order follows a series of other punitive steps against the Palestinians since taking office late last month."

Israel security minister bans Palestinian flag-flying in public Itamar Ben-Gvir’s order follows series of punitive steps against Palestinians since Israel’s hardline government took office

Just had a Zionist quote-post this to say "it's actually not illegal to fly a Palestinian flag in Israel," so here it is from Jan 2023:

Israel/OPT: Flag restrictions are the latest attempt to silence Palestinians and reduce their visibility Latest restrictions on Palestinian flags legitimize racism and are a brazen attempt to silence dissent.

Just got yet another Palestinian flag for my car after the previous two were broken off and stolen.

Fun fact - flying this flag in public in "free and democratic" Israel is considered illegal.

An A-Z of the children Israel killed in Gaza Israeli attacks have killed at least 17,400 children in Gaza. That is one child killed every 30 minutes.

Today is #WorldChildrensDay, which marks the UN's adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.

It's as good a time as any to remember that #Israel has killed at least 17,400 kids in Gaza, which works out to Israel murdering one child every 30 minutes.

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day.

Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

I hope so! The Cavs are only 10 wins away from beating Golden State's record for longest winning streak to start the season and they should win most of their next 10 games, though they'll have another matchup with Boston in six games.

So stoked for tonight's 15-0 Cavs game against the 11-3 Boston Celtics. It'll be a match of titans, but I've got Cleveland going a mind-blowing 16-0 tonight.

Who is your pick for tonight's game?
