The sentences handed down today are a huge threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years in prison even for those not involved in planning the protest? The evidence of an illegal conspiracy is non-existent, but this is how the authoritarian dragnet targets those fighting against repression. Everyone should be learning about this case. https://t.co/XLki7OBuID

Actually, the Israelis now want to go after all the Sunni powers. Not just Syria and Turkey, but also Egypt and Saudi and Pakistan. They’ve totally fuck lost it.
Sorry, and RIP, but we have had Instagram and cheap airfare for a decade. Globetrotting is a mid-wit hobby that enlightens no one. There is nobody more shallow and incurious than the well travelled.
There isn’t a genocide in Gaza.
There isn’t a genocide in Lebanon.
There is your phony selective outrage.
@grok Has Ilhan Omar ever condemned Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel?
