If you are a family member of a victim or a direct victim of the war crimes that the State of Israel is committing in Palestine, please contact Juan Branco @anatolium to bring them before the International Criminal Court. Please help me spread the word 🙏

Enough!

It is just horror after horror after horror.

Remember these precious and beautiful lives. They are human beings with names and faces. And they are being indiscriminately slaughtered.

What unconscionable inhumanity. We need a ceasefire, now.

I’m going as a “Humanitarian Pause” for Halloween. I punch your kid 8x in the head, stop to throw some raisins & an Advil at him, then start punching again.

the person who works in the administration said: “There is a sense that the administration’s policy decisions show stunning disregard for innocent Palestinians ― and that same dehumanization is also reflected in how staff are being treated.”

We may be witnessing the total obliteration of Gaza.

Political leaders refusing to speak out should feel eternal shame over the horror they are allowing to unfold.

Those of us who believe in peace cannot stay silent. We must say to the Palestinian people: you are not alone.

Rep. Kelly had $987,237 in PPP loans forgiven for himself, voted to hand out over $1 trillion in tax breaks to profitable corporations and the top 1% and voted to give $886 billion to the bloated Pentagon with ZERO offsets.

Capitalism will never fall on its own. It will have to be pushed. The accumulation of capital will never cease. It will have to be stopped. The capitalist class will never willingly surrender its power. It will have to be dispossessed.

Few things fill me with dread like the current organized censorship of literature, history, access to knowledge

Then I learn they’re consulting ChatGPT like some computational divining rod because no one can be bothered to read books before banning them.

I’m impossibly tired!

Lots of folks asking how they can support the strike today. Not sure why, might be because our employers just announced their goal to render us all homeless? Anyway.

The answer: Donate to the ECF to support writers and other workers affected by the strike.https://t.co/HmUJCZaH2r

🚨INVESTIGATION: Clarence Thomas reversed his position on a landmark legal doctrine after he received billionaire gifts & his wife received cash from the conservative legal network pushing for the change.

The same doctrine is now headed back to the court. https://t.co/HEtguVmu0I
