now imagine living like that 24 hours a day but instead of people throwing things at you, you’re wondering if a bomb is going to drop on you and your whole family. you don’t move me ed sheeran.
A reminder of why Julian Assange was persecuted and targeted by the US for over a decade:
Among the many Wikileaks revelations was the Collateral Murder footage from Iraq, in which a US Apache helicopter opens fire.
Reuters journalists Saeed Chmagh and Namir Noor-Eldeen were gunned down, several others were killed while the US pilots laughed.
@john_herni A short sighted take. There may be positive outcomes from this one video (which stem from its novelty as short form content) - but the larger effect is creating a society where we monetise kindness, exploit the goodwill of strangers, and destroy the right to privacy in public
this is just awful - individualised surveillance culture posing as feelgood content: using facial rec to identify a stranger, pretend to read a book they wrote, and record the interaction without notice using meta glasses. op should retire from life

Kanye West did a song titled Heil Hitler and is currently doing a concert tour, which has included multiple dates at Raymond James stadium in Tampa that has banned Macklemore for saying end the genocide & free Palestine
fucking absurd
As Palestinians are being tortured, raped, starved, and killed in a genocide in Gaza and lynched and ethnically cleansed in the West Bank, this is the propaganda @netflix is airing. This is equivalent to turning Hitler hunting Jews into an action movie.
No, this is not a joke.
UK Lawyers for Israel are trying to proscribe *Médecins Sans Frontières*.
That’d mean they’d be treated as terrorists.
On the same legal footing as ISIS.
Membership would mean 14 years in prison.
This is what we’re dealing with
as funny as the kirk memes are, the fact that we stopped hearing about his killer once we found out he was white speaks volumes. if he were black, we’d still be seeing his face everywhere. no black person would’ve been allowed to forget him. that’s painful to think about.
