As Amazon explicitly targets Muslim audiences it is important to remember Amazon’s Project Nimbus is essential in Israel’s targeting of Palestinians in the Gaza genocide.

"No, on Gaza. Break it all apart. Along with the soldiers who got abducted."

More cold, hard evidence of the Israeli government's stated intention to commit genocide in Gaza while killing hundreds of its own citizens under the Hannibal Directive on Oct 7

Que poco se ha hablado de que la ciudadanía de Albania paralizó el país y quemó la casa del presidente porque le dio permiso a la sionista hija del Trump para construir un hotel de lujo en una isla protegida. Ahora después de 10 días tuvieron que revocar el permiso.

Seems like half the discourse on Left Twitter is always about whether or not it’s okay to make people feel uncomfortable feelings. Oh no, don’t say chronically late people should stop being chronically late, you’ll make them feel bad about themselves. Don’t say enlisting in the US military is immoral, you’ll make people from underprivileged communities feel bad about enlisting. Don’t talk about white privilege, you’ll make working class whites feel uncomfortable feelings. It’s always something.

And it’s just so silly. Feelings are not dangerous. It’s okay to feel uncomfortable. It’s safe.

It is a sign of emotional maturity to be able to sit with uncomfortable feelings. The recognition that feelings are not dangerous is a crucial first step toward emotional adulthood. All the best things in life stand on the other side of discomfort.

If we’re here to have mature conversations about important issues, we need to move beyond this immature relationship with emotional discomfort. Because that’s where all the juicy stuff is.

A post shared by Elon Musk today. Worlds first (shortlived) trillionaire. Rich off the back of the 130k humans he employs. Rich because he is mining our planet to have his Nightrider moment. Rich because he does absolutely nothing meaningful. Nothing to enrich our life. Twat.

The real class war is between the productive class and the parasitic class.

"There are a few things we did to advance the agenda of the Israeli military that I really cannot talk about…"

The CEO of Oracle, which now controls TikTok's algorithm, admitted on camera that the firm assisted the Israeli military in the Gaza genocide.

Please stop repeating the lie that "Hamas killed 1200 people on October 7"

Repeating it over and over doesn't make it true.

First, the official number of dead is 1139. Second, and most important, we have no idea how many people Hamas killed or whom they killed.

It is now an uncontested fact—supported by video evidence, victim and eyewitness testimonies, and journalist investigations—that Israel deployed their Hannibal Directive, killing an unknown "hundreds" of Israelis.

It is a fact that ALL of those burned cars (hundreds), are the result of Israeli Apache helicopters incinerating them and everyone inside them. There were at least 28 helicopters, who had to restock their weapons and refuel at least once. Each Apache carries 16 hellfire missiles, 70 Hydra-70 rockets, and 1,200 30mm cannon rounds. And each of them emptied all their munitions on that day.

In addition to the Apaches, Israeli tanks fired onto Israeli homes, knowing their citizens were inside.

Predictably, there has been no meaningful investigation into what happened that day. Until then, it is dishonest to keep repeating this zionist lie.

It is a lie! Just like the 40 beheaded babies were a lie. Just like the mass rape was a lie. The babies in ovens. The cut off breasts.

I just shared the link to that BBC documentary because it was removed at the behest of zionists. But it too is problematic because it begins with that same lie. Pay attention, please. Lives are at stake.

What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it.
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

🚨We now have further information on Burnham’s incoming team.

His chief of staff will be James Purnell, ex-chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

In 2002, Purnell was hosted by the Israeli state in Tel Aviv. Now, he will be the most senior adviser in the British government.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Meet James Purnell. Andy Burnham's chief of staff.

He supported Iraq invasion; ex chair of Labour Friends of Israel; said that Winter Fuel Allowance and free bus passes should not be sacred; supported PFI, lie-detector tests for benefit claimants.

Next?

@fells11625 @esjesjesj @C_3C_3 He literally has the means and the ability to propel humanity forward in an evolutionary way. But instead spends all day on X stirring up hatred using old school fascist methods. It's so weird. Not very futuristic, clever or hopeful.

[Helena Handbasket @DailyMusings9]

@fells11625 @esjesjesj @C_3C_3 Not my point. He streamlined USAID because he was concerned money wasnt reaching kids or making a difference. He is the worlds first trillionaire he could literally look after every child on earth with health, education and nutrition. To ensure human continuity as he espouses.

[Helena Handbasket @DailyMusings9]

@oldspeak_books They don't even have any real power anymore. Actors really.

[Helena Handbasket @DailyMusings9]

@oldspeak_books Behave. They do reality TV, sell books and take "money for time" deals. UK politics is about as non serious as you can get. All the outdated stuffiness is past its sell by.

[Helena Handbasket @DailyMusings9]

@fells11625 @esjesjesj @C_3C_3 He could have sorted out America's finances while simultaneously providing legacy payments to the Sudanese kids out his own trillions. He could even set up the Elon Musk foundation for the protection of ALL children everywhere. They are the future after all......but nah.
