Salute to @wizardbisan truly a phenomenal human who has documented genocide of her ppl & is drawing analytical links bw the colonization of Palestine & Puerto Rico. Solidarity is joint struggle & Bisan is showing us all how it’s done even as she continues to survive genocide.
The problem with this insurgent wave of Democratic candidates is that without bases to mobilize into mass movements against the ruling class, they are effectively useless.
Currently, these candidates are not using mass movements to build power but instead working within the hierarchy of the Democratic Party — a party that is beholden to corporate donors with a vested interest in maintaining U.S. imperialism and working class austerity.
Nah. You totally waited. Waited until there were no functional hospitals, until the death toll rose in the thousands, waited until they were dropping white phosphorus on civil population, you just waited....did NOTHING to stop the genocide.
The rubber that built European industry came from somewhere.
The cotton that built the textile mills came from somewhere.
The sugar that sweetened European tea came from somewhere.
The gold that backed European currencies came from somewhere.
The phosphate that fertilized European farms came from somewhere.
The timber, the ivory, the copper, the palm oil, the cocoa, the indigo.
All of it came from somewhere.
That somewhere had people in it.
Those people were not compensated.
In many cases, those people were the labor. Not hired labor. Not contracted labor. Not even particularly well-fed labor.
Owned labor. Coerced labor. Labor maintained through violence and the constant credible threat of more violence.
The Industrial Revolution was not a European achievement alone.
It was a global achievement extracted from the bodies and lands of people who did not consent to participate and did not share in the proceeds.
The prosperity that produced the tolerance you're currently celebrating was built in a system whose operational costs were paid by the people who got none of its benefits.
That accounting has never been settled.
It is still open.
@TheAtlantic@JesseBrown This is one of the worst pieces of journalism out there; horribly written, full of total buffoonery and misleading info and written at the level of a grade 5 boy who didn’t read the textbook but who’s parents really think he deserves an A. @JesseBrown is a loser with amnesia
The rebranding of genocide through a capitalist scheme named the “Board of Peace” is only possible because the collective West has refused to acknowledge colonialism as a crime.
It’s my firm belief that the Taylor Swift song Opalite sounds a lot like and maybe takes from Canadian legend Anne Murray’s Xmas song Mary’s little boy child/ Oh My Lord. Which also likely takes from black American church music. It’s catchy cause she stole it.
@TaraArmstrongBC By the way girlie pop you dying your dusty ass hair that bright blonde is gender affirming care, you putting on makeup is gender affirming care, shaving your legs and armpits is gender affirming care - hair is natural to a women, it’s all gender affirming care. Get bent loser
@aaronjmate Dude Noooooo!! sometimes you gotta jus let go when people show themselves to be losers. We as people who believe in a better world need to let go of these false idols, stop compromising he ain’t it.
@EvanLSolomon None of you ever do the right thing.
You're quite literally a barrier to progress and decency. The only reason you must be able to sleep at night is because you're a soulless husk of a man, a psychopath unable to feel basic human empathy.
Go fuck yourself.
@EvanLSolomon Absolutely vile. What is wrong with you. This technology has been developed and perfected on the backs of genocided Palestinians. Fucking disgusting you're cooperating with Israel.
@EvanLSolomon Did you talk about how Israel used AI to preferentially bomb Palestinians in their homes with their families while you scold the Canadian public for protesting?

@EvanLSolomon Genocide of women and children is "complex times" for Evan Solomon. This is what "Israeli tech/AI" has contributed to humanity. Shame on our government for shamelessly partnering with literal war criminals! https://t.co/zuE4nD4JBB
@EvanLSolomon Dear PM @MarkJCarney: Following your speech in Davos many Canadians are watching to see if your government's actions align with your words. Surely your government knows about the role of AI in Israel's genocide in Gaza? https://t.co/SSsILxGiqr
