This is how Israel was established and we're supposed to pretend it's super complicated and approach with nuance and understanding for the settler with the gun.

@vancouveriww Hey is your branch still active? Someone in the area was asking about joining up

[Columbia Palestine Solidarity Coalition (CPSC) @Columbia_psc]

Claire Shipman, @Columbia University president praised the “professionalism” of these officers. They beat a Palestinian student unconscious for filming. Deleted photos from his camera. Choked him on the ground of Butler Library. Denied him medical attention. We are not safe here.

@feelFreeNotTo @BladeoftheS @missmayn Was looking in comments for sources- do you have a handy link? Google was kind of useless.

@TwitchSupport
I was indefinitely suspended due to Fraud. I believe I know what the case is, I opened a new bank account and stopped using an older one and forgot to update paypal, which I use on twitch. Paypal then bounced back a bunch of my purchases. I've spent 1/2

@portnabpucai @ChrisLynnHedges Thousands and thousands of people didn't survive the Biden presidency.

[Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges]

Joe Biden may have made Juneteenth an official holiday but there are few politicians who have done more to inflict misery on poor people of color. Half of the students I teach in prison would not be there but for Biden and Bill Clinton. In the 1970s, Biden fought school busing, arguing that segregation was beneficial for Blacks.  He and South Carolina’s racist senator, Strom Thurmond, sponsored the Comprehensive Crime Control Act, which eliminated parole for federal prisoners and limited the amount of time sentences could be reduced for good behavior.

Biden sponsored and aggressively pushed the 1994 crime bill, which he also helped draft, calling for its passage because “We have predators on our streets that society has in fact, in part because of its neglect, created.” The bill expanded  the death penalty for dozens of existing and new federal crimes and mandated life imprisonment for a third violent felony, also known as the “three strikes and you’re out” rule, more than doubling the nation’s prison population.

The bill provided funds to add 100,000 new police officers and build new prisons, on the condition that prisoners serve their entire sentences. He pushed through the 1996 Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, which gutted the federal writ of habeas corpus, abolished the rights of death row prisoners and mandated harsh federal sentencing rules.

In addition, Biden takes credit for writing the 2001 Patriot Act, which expanded the government’s ability to monitor anyone’s phone and email communications, collect bank and credit reporting records, and track activity on the internet.

He backed austerity programs, including the destruction of welfare and cuts to Social Security. He fought for NAFTA and other “free trade” deals which fueled inequality, deindustrialization, a significant drop in wages and the offshoring of  millions of manufacturing jobs to underpaid workers who toil in sweatshops in countries like Mexico, Malaysia, China or Vietnam.

He also backed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act that, as Human Rights Watch wrote, “eliminated key defenses against deportation and subjected many more immigrants, including legal permanent residents, to detention and deportation.” Biden has spent his political career perpetuating the systems of neoslavery that mock the emancipation of Black men and women this day is supposed to celebrate.

Inmates do billions of dollars of work for companies and governments each year.

A landmark trafficking lawsuit alleges many are being kept in prison because the business is just too good. The suit says it seeks “to abolish a modern day form of slavery” https://t.co/KG8NB6OnEw

Major Harrison Mann: ‘as the descendant of European Jews I was raised in a moral environment where the paramount importance of “never again” & the inadequacy of “just following orders” were oft repeated. I hope my grandfather would be proud of me for stepping away from this war’

I mentioned the Philadelphia general strike of 1835 at a book talk today and a dude in the audience yelled “Go Birds” 🦅

@pookleblinky when this platform goes belly up should I look for you on Mastodon?

@SpydyrrHeath @joeywreck This question is easy for anarchists- no nations are legitimate. All of us living within borders are just trying to survive the whims of the most recent conquerers.

@ProfaneAnnalist I hope you feel better soon

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

State Dept spokesman Matt Miller was asked if State has threatened to cut off aid to Israel over its refusal to reduce civilian casualties. He said that no, they haven't, and State believes their current approach is the best way to influence Israeli behavior.

Are you happy with the results?

"In many cases no, absolutely we are not," he said.

@sha_khadi @ImitationJordan @Sturgeons_Law You're right, but there can be peace and justice and dignity after if we stop the genocide.
