a woman is expected to remain completely calm as armed white supremacist thugs try to forcibly open her car door but an ICE agent is allowed to panic and shoot someone in the head three times from a foot away because he “felt threatened”
Stellan Skarsgård reflects on his worldview :
"My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: 'Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.' It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it"
"In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people"

Five hrs ago the US created a permission structure to invade any country and arrest any head of state for the crime of being an obstacle to Trump’s agenda. Can’t emphasize enough how your personal opinion on Maduro should be a thousand yards away from this conversation right now
he was studying software engineering from a tent, still living for the next day. it would be a disservice to their life to only remember them engulfed in flames. learn their names and stories.
Palestinian children should wake up feeling excited to go to school and play with their friends.
Instead, for those murdered in Rafah, their last moments on this earth were filled with unimaginable fear as bombs rained down on their tents.
What a monstrous failure of humanity.
George Carlin on how language is used to distort the truth:
"The CIA doesn't ki!! anybody anymore they neutralise people"
"The gov doesn't lie they engage in misinformation"
Always relevant whenever headlines using passive voice speaks about Palestine.
There are videos coming out of Rafah today of beheaded babies.
Actual beheaded babies that you can see for yourselves - not the beheaded babies that the Israeli authorities invented to justify their genocidal assault, or the ones that Biden falsely claimed to have seen pix of.
There is no forgiveness, there is no dialogue, there is no return from any of this— there was never any coming back. Anyone who even remotely acknowledges the israeli entity’s ‘right’ to anything: may you burn in hell
The lack of military intervention in Israel should tell you that every other military intervention in the history of modern warfare has been to secure strategic interests and not for humanitarian or noble means. This is merely a pantomime they feed us while they loot the earth.
Brian Schatz just voted to give Israel $3.8 billion in unconditional military aid.
He also voted for Biden's foreign aid bill, which gives $14.1 billion in weapons to Israel.
This is a war on civilians.
On doctors trying to save lives.
On aid workers trying to feed Palestinians.
On teachers trying to put a smile on the faces of children.
This is a war on humanity — and our government should never be forgiven for its contemptible complicity.
