Francesca Albanese always tells it truthfully:

‘Even if there are no more bombs dropped and no more bullets fired, Israel 🇮🇱 has destroyed Gaza 🇵🇸 and committed genocide’

Sanctions against 🇮🇱now
Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now
Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 today.

96 private jets full of corrupt elites and celebs flying into Venice, a city destroyed by tourism, to celebrate the wedding of the world’s most shameless tax dodger: Jeff Bezos.

Well, it's the perfect anecdote for future historians writing about this Second Gilded Age --> 🧵

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

Remember the 97% consensus among scientists on climate change?

Today, it’s easier to find a professor who denies global warming than a genocide scholar who denies what’s happening in Gaza.

And yet, many 'moderates' still look the other way—denying what’s right in front of them

The most corrupt administration in U.S. history is facilitating the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in American history.

Reverse Robin Hood, in broad daylight.

Almost half of Harvard’s brightest minds will vanish into the Bermuda Triangle of Talent: finance, law, consulting.

Not because they’re bad people—but because our system rewards ambition without direction.

What if we aimed that ambition at problems that actually matter? ——>

Gary Lineker has moral fortitude:

‘The mass murder of thousands of children is something we should have an opinion on’

‘The BBC is not impartial when it comes to Ukraine 🇺🇦, why be impartial over Gaza 🇵🇸’

‘The context started well before October 7th’

On 19/4/1943, the world had one duty: to defend the Jews who were being pulverised by the Nazi war machine crushing the Warsaw ghetto. Today the world has one duty: to defend the Palestinians who are being pulverised by the Israeli army in the Gaza ghetto

A new analysis of that “One Big Beautiful Bill”: we knew this would happen, but seeing the numbers like out like this...

The con is just so blatant, so obvious, it almost feels like parody.

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal.

And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.

[David Winter @deLappe]

@JohnSimpsonNews Agreed it's a great asset and I think mostly very fair. I do think though, that, the Palestine/Israeli concentrate has been very ordinary. The sad part is it tastes decades to biopic a great reputation but only seconds to ruin it.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Every week, the number of protesters in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa carrying pictures of Gaza children murdered by Israel grows.

They congregated in their hundreds. Now they congregate in their thousands.

A thin ray of light in the endless darkness

Stop the genocide!

We need wealth redistribution. And we also need talent redistribution.

In fact, the two are intimately connected.

Research by three top economists: higher taxes (for the rich) would get more people to do work that’s actually useful.
