The mercenaries in the US-Israeli government’s so-called “aid” operation in Gaza—run by military contractors and resembling prison camps—are firing on the very Palestinians it’s supposed to help. This is not humanitarian aid.

Once you realize that you're only temporarily "abled", and disability is in almost everyone's future, it charges how you see the world.

#Eurovision2025 final tonight. Remember this is the competition that the organisers claim is apolitical, but only when it comes to Israel. They RAPIDLY ejected Russia because of the invasion of Ukraine. Basically they're cool with Israeli war crimes #GazaGenocide‌

Private Equity Took Over 1,000+ Disability, Elder Care Providers in Recent Years People have suffered abuse, neglect and even death in the care of private equity-owned providers, according to a report.

Private equity firms have gobbled up group homes and other services for people with disabilities, trying to double or triple their investment over a relatively short period of time by cutting costs. Those cuts can lead to abuse, neglect and even death.

During his graduation speech, NYU student Logan Rozos condemned Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the U.S. role in funding it. The university responded by withholding his diploma, calling his remarks “one-sided” and accusing him of “abusing a privilege.”

The walls that surround us were built to make the Nakba eternal They surrounded us with walls so that we thought the Nakba was forever. Instead, we forgot that the walls existed, so we could see the Palestine we’ve always dreamed of.

the arrest of a judge by ICE and FBI for such bullshit reasons is a Rubicon crossing moment. not the last, but a major one.

The FBI just arrested a Wisconsin circuit court judge for failing to assist ICE to its satisfaction in their kidnapping of a human being out of court custody and into a death camp.

Any attempt to soften the reality of that statement is fascist propaganda.

the culture of lawlessness in silicon valley literally cant be reformed, they are hostile to the basic idea of a nation with laws because they are such special little boys

A side-by-side screenshot of two stories on the BBC online web page separated by a little over a week. The first reports the death of a Palestinian, aged 6, in Gaza using unemotional language, the second reports on the death of Israeli child hostages using very emotional language. It is a stark difference in treatment by the BBC.

Notice any difference?

🇵🇸 = No emotive language: 'found dead'
🇮🇱 = Emotive language focuses on size, age, grief

Two stories, two weeks apart = BBC shame

Last night, the Israeli military deliberately bombed a tent in Khan Younis housing several Palestinian journalists next to a hospital.

Palestinians have to beg online because Israel won't let any aid in. No food, no diapers, no medication, nothing. An endless amount of food that was sent to Gaza got spoiled in trucks that were stopped at the border. Do you understand? This is an intentional famine of civilians who are being bombed

Never forget the ethnic cleansing the USA was built on

Betrayed by US Again, Afghan Evacuees Stranded After Refugee Program Suspension About 1,600 Afghans approved to come to the US are now in limbo as the State Department cancels travel plans.
