Everyone cheering on the Trump administration detaining pro Palestine protesters needs to give First They Came a good, long read. It might not be right away, but they will come for you too when you are an inconvenience for them. This is exactly why I'm a free speech absolutist.
I spoke to the son of the owner of a bakery that was bombed by Israel for the 3rd time in 2 years.
He said they’ll rebuild a 4th time — and “five, six times — we don’t have any problem.”
The only thing the bakery threatened is Israel’s plan to starve Lebanon into submission.
The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.
It was in broad daylight.
The father says:
"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."
Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.
Soon after accepting a "ceasefire" and claiming it harbors no "hostile intent" toward the Lebanese state, the Zionist regime has struck a Lebanese military convoy and murdered a Army brigadier general. No doubt the US-installed president of Lebanon will find a way to blame Iran.
For the love of God Colombia, we’re begging you, don’t fall into the same trap as your neighbors.
If an “conservative outsider” comes out of no where promising you the moon and the stars, run the other way. Bc history has proven they’re about to run ur country into the ground.
A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."
The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.
We all knew these situations were going to happen, and so did FIFA. Yet they still allowed the World Cup to go ahead in the U.S. They are not receiving anywhere near the level of scrutiny they should.
@leylahamed@still_NunyaDB Exactly. Not that there weren't some valid concerns, but where are all the people who were screaming about Qatar four years ago? The silence speaks volumes.
The publics of western democracies have an unfavourable view of Israel, most at 70% or more.
Yet, in these same "democracies", such as the UK, the vast majority of politicians actively support aiding Israel's continuing genocidal slaughter in Gaza.
For some further perspective on this, Iran's base camp is in Tijuana. There June 26 match against Egypt is in Seattle, 1200 miles (1900 kilometres) away. The competitive disadvantage this policy forces upon them is truly astounding.
⚡️BREAKING: The US has banned the Iranian National Football team from staying on its territory before or after a World Cup match
The Iranian team will stay and train in Mexico; it will only be allowed to enter the US on match days and must leave after the game
Iran is the only country subjected to such treatment by the United States

KIRIAKOU: “The Israelis have always spied on the United States.”
THEO: “Do we spy on them also?”
KIRIAKOU: “No, that's written in stone at the CIA.”
THEO: “Why can't we spy on them?”
KIRIAKOU: “It's a political decision that's been made in the White House.”
BREAKING: Ireland bars Israeli ministers Ben-Gvir & Smotrich from entry
Justice Minister O'Callaghan has instructed immigration officers to refuse entry to National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin: their behaviour "justifies sanctions at EU level," and Ireland will push for them.
The move follows Ben-Gvir's treatment of detained Gaza flotilla activists. Ireland joins the UK, Spain, Norway, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Slovenia and New Zealand.
@BowesChay Far from the most likely scenario, but certainly not out of the realm of possibility. I actually think Iran will come up second in that group, just can't see who will beat out the US in D unfortunately.
A tenured professor of art therapy was suspended by her university and placed under formal investigation for the crime of using a Palestinian in a hypothetical example for uses of art therapy.
This is not 10th grade. It's a college, for adult students.

Israel executed baby Sam today with a bullet to the face in the occupied West Bank.
They killed his mother too.
Sam was only 7 months old.
They murdered a mother. And her infant.
An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.
