You all realize that every journalist could do what Tucker Carlson does and call out the genocide and America's part in it, right? I get that it bothers you...but I don't understand why you're not yelling at the journalists refusing to do their job instead of whining that he does
Absolute fucking travesty that I Love Boosters hasn't released in Australia - I hope that changes because Sorry to Bother You is one of the all-time greats!
It's not singlehandedly- Neon has gone to the floor for it and pushed HARD in marketing and publicity, and I've NEVER seen a cast go out as hard for a movie as the cast of I Love Boosters.
Still, we have very few screens so that consideration means it takes a lot to get ppl2 see it
One of my most popular articles ever included a long extract from a powerful closing speech by barrister Rajiv Menon during a Palestine Action trial in January. In the end, the jury refused to convict the six defendants.
Menon is now on trial for that closing speech – for reminding the jury that they had a 350-year-old right in law to follow their conscience in reaching a verdict, even if it meant defying a direction from the judge to convict.
Paradoxically, Menon joked in his speech that, because of that earlier legal principle, the judge, unlike his counterpart in 1670, could not lock them, the jurors, up were they to choose to follow their consciences.
Instead, the judge is seeking to lock up the barrister. Does 2026 qualify as an improvement on 1670?
It is believed that this is the first time a barrister has been tried for comments made to a jury in his closing speech. That should serve as a potent reminder of just us how authoritarian the current political moment is, and of how quickly long-established legal rights are being dismantled to protect British collusion in genocide.
Read my article – and the part of the speech for which Menon is being tried – here: https://t.co/RyDHG3Iz81
@guldaar She's going to be a full-on MAGA type in a few years, at this rate. Same journey as all the other American centrists/Democrats. I must have her blocked, can't see her profile anywhere online.
I'd stopped buying from Dymocks a while back, maybe time to just ignore them and fully commit to another bookshop. I've had an amazing time at the Chestnut Tree Bookshop, they know books can demolish systems of oppression, and aren't trying to uphold them like the CEO of Dymocks.
The Dymocks CEO seems to be suggesting that books 'have links to terrorism.'
He doesn't mean all the books they stock by actual War Industry Terrorists, which of course only inspire peace and humility and calmness.
@guldaar They were definitely not able to take down the uploads fast enough, its broken free of containement and spread to worldwide TikTok which is still out of their control
Shut it down folks, we finally have it. Genocide is good, because... nobel prizes?
Felt my already inadequete brain power (ref: image below) decrease reading this moron.
We don't normally publish on a Tuesday, but this is a special one-off: A big interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates where we cover the aftermath of the 2024 election, the boycott movement, Black and Palestinian experiences in the US and more
