Ed “I don’t take sides” Sheeran:

[liam cunningham @liamcunningham1]

If you find yourself saying
‘I’m not taking sides’
during a genocide, you are.
You most definitely are.

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

Democrats in Congress be like “Trump is a fascist” then vote to give him warrantless spying powers

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

After bombing a synagogue in Iran, the army of the self-proclaimed Jewish state called it collateral damage, insisting it used precision munitions to target a military commander and took all precautions to minimize civilian harm.

What a fucking joke.

Just to be abundantly clear, the IRGC doesn’t have Tomahawks

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

I can't believe we're still at the point in American war discourse -- after everything that has happened -- where people who oppose a US war against Country X are accused of supporting the government of Country X.

Just the sheer stupidity of it should suffice to end this:

[Lowkey @Lowkey0nline]

On the first day of the war, Israel/US bombed a girls' school, on the second day two hospitals and today, on the third day, a children's playground in Iran.

People will really get on here and pretend to not understand why people hate this party

[Comrade Misty is Putin’s Buddy @SarcasmStardust]

But guys. It’s totally about the drugs. And democracy. And Maduro is a dictator. Israel had nothing to do with it.

Shame on anyone who bought that bullshit.

We kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation at the behest of Israel.

We are the bad guys.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

They launched a live-streamed genocide in full view of the entire world.

They're openly targeting civilian populations with siege warfare in Iran and Cuba in full view of the entire world.

They openly kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation in full view of the entire world.

They deliberately provoked a horrific and dangerous proxy war in Ukraine in full view of the entire world.

They spent years actively backing Saudi Arabia's monstrous genocidal atrocities in Yemen in full view of the entire world.

They're plundering and exploiting the resources and labor of the global south in full view of the entire world.

They're killing the biosphere we all depend on for their own enrichment in full view of the entire world.

They engage in nuclear brinkmanship and wave around armageddon weapons like pistols in full view of the entire world.

People go homeless and die of exposure while billionaires buy private islands and choose the next president in full view of the entire world.

Weapons manufacturers lobby for wars and then profit from the death and destruction they cause in full view of the entire world.

The president of the United States has repeatedly admitted to being bought and owned by the world's richest Israeli in full view of the entire world.

The US Treasury Secretary has been repeatedly admitting that the US deliberately sparked the violence and unrest in Iran by methodically immiserating the population via economic warfare, in full view of the entire world.

I keep seeing people freaking out and asking how it's possible that the individuals in the Epstein files haven't been arrested for their secret nefarious behavior. And I always want to ask them, mate, have you seen the nefarious behavior they're engaging in right out in the open?

Pay attention to the Epstein files. Pay attention to what little we can learn about how these freaks conduct themselves behind closed doors. By all means, pay close attention to these things.

But don't forget to also pay attention to the far greater evils they are inflicting in full view of the entire world.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

This is one of the most extraordinary and illuminating passages in all journalism.

CNN frames Maduro as a paranoid liar for claiming the CIA is trying to overthrow him.

Yet in the very next sentence, it casually notes that the CIA did, in fact, overthrow him.

The level of cognitive dissonance and imperial brain rot you must have to write this, and then have it read by an editor and published, is truly breathtaking.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

There are two kinds of Syria watchers in my feed right now.

1. The ones who are justifying Ahmad Al Sharaa’s forces massacring the Kurds after doing the same against Alawites and the Druze. They will defend anything he does. It’s gross.

2. The ones who are horrified a former senior leader in Al Qaeda is leading massacres against a minority group AFTER spending years cheering for collapsing Syria into the hands of extremists. These people baffle me the most. What did you think would happen?

[H. @SyMUTD99]

ISIS terrorists greeting the terrorists of Jolani's Islamist regime arriving at Al-Hol camp (ISIS prison) to free them.
A wave of terror, the likes of which never seen before, will be unleashed upon the region by Erdogan's orders and Trump's blessing.

Dark days looming

[Nick Cleveland-Stout @nick_clevelands]

A new document reveals the Israeli government is paying a cohort of 14-18 social media influencers between $6,100 and $7,300 per post

[Adam Smith @adamndsmith]

“Nobody should be killed for their political beliefs” vs “every child in Gaza is potentially a terrorist” is a fun contrast

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

This is wild. Israel invades and occupies Syria, then fires at Syrians protesting their illegal occupation and calls them a “threat.”

You’re on their land, shooting at them, you are the THREAT.

[Dave DeCamp @DecampDave]

The Pentagon decided to reveal today that the U.S. government has been lying about the number of troops it has in Syria.
