[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Take notice of all the propaganda in just one headline:

"More than 900 killed" - killed by whom? No perpetrator is listed.

"In Gaza" - many western media outlets have a policy of not using the word "Palestine" as it legitimizes the existence of a Palestinian state in their eyes.

"Hamas-run Health Ministry" - killing the messenger by claiming it is a proxy of a group the BBC has presented as terrorists for decades, despite even the Israeli government conceding the Health Ministry's numbers are consistently the most accurate out there.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

aipac boss call was made. they are unanimous in their hatred of me, and i welcome their hatred. if you’re a defender of israel’s genocide, of its occupation, of its child killing spree - then your boos mean nothing to me

[barry with the NED @bonzerbarry]

Diaspora Affairs Minister saying out loud that their new strategy is to no longer appeal to concerns of antisemitism, but to go all in with the European and American right on Islamophobia.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

This is not Auschwitz, and these are not refugee tents being burned in Gaza... This is the West Bank.

They are burning people's homes while families and children are asleep inside!

Stop calling them "settlers"; they are terrorist invaders—state-sponsored terrorism.

@Shib2aPenny @HotSpotHotSpot Hell yeah 👏

@Evan_GoCats (1) This didn't start in 2023.
(2) Every reputable HR org and genocide scholar recognizes genocide.
(3) There's no credible evidence of rape on 10/7.
(4) There's no credible evidence that hospitals, schools, or mosques were used for military purposes. (Palestine has no military.)

[Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber]

Palestine has already been settled for millennia, so these racist criminal interlopers cannot rightly be called “settlers.”

They are not “settlers,” they are violent Zionist mobs and Israel regime paramilitaries.

They do not live in “settlements,” but in armed (and unlawful) colonial outposts.

They are not engaged in “settler clashes,” but in lynchings and pogroms.

Calling them by their true name is important, and ending their impunity is the urgent duty of all of humanity.

[jordan @JordanUhl]

Literally every part of this is wrong.

1) She didn't "fact-check." She just kept claiming things weren't true. He provided sources. She lied and said the UN didn't call it a genocide. It did.

2) The producers told *her* to wrap. Larkin didn't cut it short:

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Life in the 2020s comes with so much dissonance and dysphoria because everyone knows this civilization is doomed, but it’s not being acknowledged by any of our mainstream institutions.

We can all see everything getting worse and worse before our eyes in real time, but our government officials don’t talk about it. Our mass media outlets don’t report on it. Our education systems don’t recognize it. There’s a giant elephant in the room with us at all times, and normal people are acutely aware of it, but the talking heads keep speaking as though everything’s going to keep ticking along normally into the foreseeable future.

We can all see the summers heating up.

We can all see that there are fewer insects and less wildlife around than when we were young.

We can all see that the western empire is on borrowed time.

We can all see that younger generations are having much more difficulty affording housing and life expenses than their parents and grandparents.

We can all see that technology has stagnated as capitalism’s innovation-for-profit model hits the limit of how far it can carry us as a species.

We can all see the apps, search engines, social media platforms and tech services getting shittier and shittier year by year.

We can all see AI making everything worse and turning everyone into cognitive infants who can’t do anything for themselves while consistently failing to deliver what its proponents say it will deliver.

We can all see the people around us getting dumber, crazier and more miserable as we are pushed into dystopian conditions where everyone gets more and more alienated and must pay a monthly fee for the experience of connection.

We can all see that state authoritarianism is escalating in proportion to public discontent with the status quo.

We all know we’re in a completely unsustainable situation. We all know we are riding a bus with disintegrating wheels.

But it doesn’t get acknowledged by anyone at the top. The news reports are still about the latest celebrity gossip and whether the economy arrow is pointing up or down. The movies and shows are still about wacky and witty characters for whom capitalism is working perfectly fine. The politicians are still talking about culture war issues and the Evil Dictator of the Day.

It is taken as a given that our grandchildren will be living in more or less the same kind of world we are living in, when we all know there’s no way this is true.

The wheels on the bus are coming off, boys and girls. The ride is near its end.

I’m not saying we’re all going to die, I’m just saying this civilization as it presently exists cannot possibly be sustained. Immensely drastic changes are coming up around the bend whether we like it or not, either by a deliberate transformation or by some cataclysmic event occurring against our will.

Life in the 2020s feels so spiritually dissonant because we all know this is the case, but all the sources we’ve been trained to look to for information and context are acting like everything’s perfectly fine. They’re painting a cheery picture over reality while every normal person is staring at the giant black cracks that keep appearing in the paint job.

Which tells you all you need to know about the competency of the people who are steering the bus. The people in charge are just going to keep driving this thing into the ground until there’s nothing left to save. If there’s going to be a world-saving revolution, it’s going to come from we ordinary people who are willing to acknowledge reality, not from the oligarchs and empire managers presently steering things who have been blinded by the pursuit of profit and power.

We either find some way to get their hands off the steering wheel and take control, or we find ourselves confronting the future horrors they’ve been discouraging us from thinking about while they drive us to our doom.

America is a beautiful melting pot of monarchist Iranians, Shen Yun Chinese, Orange County Vietnamese, White Russians, Cuban gusanos, Miami Venezuelans, Afrikaners, Eduardo Bolsonaro. A rainbow of people who had their servants taken away.

[adri ♡ @socialistadri]

🔥 @hasanthehun popped the fuck off here: "Everyone being like, 'Abdul has a fuck-ton of work to do mending bridges', here's the fucking take nuke for you: You are all unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of shit. You literally called the dude a fucking terrorist for months on end and called him a sexist, misogynist, terrorist, bad candidate, fake doctor when he has two fucking degrees. And now you're going to say sit there and be like, 'you really gotta come to me now.' What are you talking about? Do you wanna win or not? LOCK THE FUCK IN."

[Sammy 🦔🌻🍃 @SammyBlackPDX]

LOL and they wanted me to vote for this?! 😂

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kamala Harris: I honestly don't believe that it will be anytime soon that we are going to revive the voting rights act. So, I don't believe it is going to be the best use of our energy right now to try to get that done because I don't know that it will get done right now the way this congress is composed and the way they have been treating civil rights issues.

[Doctor Tom, Esq. @neosovietposter]

These people exist in a state of social psychosis brought on by the total subsumption of their identity and material existence into the process of capital accumulation

[Sammy 🦔🌻🍃 @SammyBlackPDX]

@Bl00dOld @ggreenwald You should look beyond this label, and consider what he's doing for the city. His latest sweeping reforms are exactly the kind of thing libertarians and right wingers are always calling for: cutting red tape, eliminating onerous permitting processes, simplifying municipal gov't.

[Sammy 🦔🌻🍃 @SammyBlackPDX]

@Sanne863 @ggreenwald Why would anybody think that?

[Sammy 🦔🌻🍃 @SammyBlackPDX]

Hell yeah, @MaxBlumenthal 👏

[Romina 🇮🇷 @Rominak26]

We were protesting outside @busboysandpoets yesterday, holding a sign that said “+40,000 people were killed by Islamic Republic in two days,” while Max Blumenthal was inside spreading the Iranian regime’s filthy lies.

[Sammy 🦔🌻🍃 @SammyBlackPDX]

@AmirSabriii Do you have any evidence of this accusation against Max Blumenthal, or is it just psychological projection because you can't imagine standing on principles without a paycheck?

[Sammy 🦔🌻🍃 @SammyBlackPDX]

@koshercockney Counterpoint: @MaxBlumenthal and @TheGrayzoneNews are a breath of fresh air inside the stifling propaganda bubble of the U.S. empire! Try reading/listening to his excellent reporting.
