We're so collectively desensitized to the US empire that we're not even registering the absurdity: the US - a country where guns are sold at Walmart - has just kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation (and head of the army) to charge him with "possession of machineguns"

📽️Donald Trump wants you to know he's targeting Venezuela because of illegal drugs.
But what if this were really about something else altogether...?
Dig into the murky world of crude oil refining and you find another, even more intriguing explanation...

For 150 years, 5 generations of the Khan family lived in a village with 600 Hindu, 4 Muslim homes. The village was an oasis of communal harmony.

In August, a mob of Hindutva vigilantes lynched their son.

Last month, they left the village forever. I report for @Article14live

Something powerfully symbolic about this photo. A thousand words as they say

[Johann Spischak @SDGMasterglass]

If this video had come out of Iran, a young woman dragged, blindfolded, choked before a crowd, the West would already be mobilizing. Headlines would scream of barbarism, sanctions would be passed overnight, and generals would be drawing up strike plans.
But it is not Tehran. It is Berlin. She is white. And suddenly what would be called tyranny becomes "order," what would be condemned as barbarism is softened into "restraint."
This is not a double standard. It is a lie. The West manufactures images of Iran to justify war, while laundering its own violence into the language of democracy and law.
Berlin, she is white, so the world shrugs. Tehran, she is brown, and the world demands blood.

The Starmer regime has arrested global symbol of peace and justice Greta Thunberg on streets of London

For holding a sign supporting Palestine Action hunger strikers being slowly murdered in UK dungeons

An image that will be studied in history books

Fascism is already here

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide.

When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.

Happening under a Labour Government.

[Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸 @itranslate123]

If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss @bariweiss and her likes.

Many maniacal Israeli soldiers already bombing Gaza take these lies and smears seriously and they act upon them.

What an astonishing display of arrogance and ignorance from Jess Phillips lecturing the public about a word she can not even pronounce, from a language she does not speak, that comes from a culture she clearly does not understand.

Hopeless doesn't even begin to cover it.

An incredible community note for the “most moral army in the world.”

[Amjad Masad @amasad]

Insane community note. Evil hall of shame.

Is she proposing Britain sends spy planes over Sudan to gather intelligence for the RSF?

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

It is completely obvious that this is a stitch-up.

The judgement will now obviously be in favour of keeping Palestine Action proscribed, and nobody should regard that inevitable verdict as justice.

BBC presenters shared Israeli perspectives on Gaza 2,340 times, compared to Palestinian perspectives 217 times.

Media Lens: “This appalling revelation was apparently not a resigning matter for senior BBC figures.”

The British right desperately hoped a Muslim was involved in the train attack. Turns out there was. But he was saving lives.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

The BBC does know how to write a headline with certainty. Recall they ran a headline reading: "Hamas raped and mutilated women on 7 October." They later acknowledged they had no forensic evidence or video or photographs or anything else remotely conclusive to back up that headline, despite 10/7 being the most-filmed attack ever.

Now when a Palestinian is raped at length on video, and extensive medical documentation exists to attest to the attack, the BBC calls it "alleged abuse."
