At the South African 🇿🇦 University of the Western Cape graduations, ! SRC President Siyabonga Sgudla stated that the student body stands firmly in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their struggle against what he described as the “apartheid state of Israel"

He welcomed the university council’s position condemning the ongoing atrocities, expressed hope that the Senate would adopt an academic boycott of Israel, and affirmed that the university community will continue to chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.! "

Claude Mellan's Face of Christ, also known as The Sudarium of Saint Veronica (1649), is one of the most technically extraordinary works in art history...

The entire portrait is rendered using a single, continuous spiralling line that begins at the tip of Christ's nose and expands outward to the edges of the cloth.

Mellan achieved the illusion of depth, shadow, and facial features without any cross-hatching or traditional shading. Instead, he precisely varied the thickness and pressure of the burin (his engraving tool) as he rotated the copper plate, creating "swelling" lines that darken the image where needed.

The spiralling line is estimated to be approximately 150m (about 500ft) long if it were stretched out.

Israel’s evil is manifest in how it indiscriminately bombs Gaza and Lebanon, despite a ceasefire, but moreso when a peace deal is close to conclusion.

Here is Zionist atheist & somehow still Jewish, Bill Maher making the claim that Zionists are the real victims during Israel’s genocide because Randy Fine’s comments are awful but it’s not the same as wishing nukes on Israel.

Here’s Randy Fine calling for nukes on Gaza.

“You literally didn’t watch the video,” he says. Okay, here’s some more:

- He claims that saying AOC “didn’t oppose Biden on Gaza” is nonsense, then uses a tweet from October 2024 as proof while omitting the fact that, up until Biden announced he wouldn’t seek re-election, AOC stood firmly by his side. She even went on IG Live arguing that people calling for Biden to step aside in favor of Kamala didn’t know what they were talking about because there supposedly wasn’t even a consensus around Kamala Harris.

- He brings up AOC saying Biden-Harris were “working tirelessly for a ceasefire in Gaza” (which was her providing cover for a genocide, something worse than anything MTG has done) and dismisses criticism of that statement as outrage over “this one line, these ten words,” then argues that nobody could have known Biden was misleading the public about ceasefire negotiations.

Keep in mind this was the same Biden who publicly repeated the false “40 beheaded babies” story without evidence, so acting like people had no reason to distrust his claims by that point is absurd.

Mehdi is being purposely disingenuous, and he knows it.

[Huthaifa | حذيفة @Shack_Rat]

AOC got outflanked on Gaza by people she and her supporters would normally dismiss outright.

Candace Owens was calling out the atrocities in late 2023 while AOC was still carefully triangulating around Biden. Alex Jones called it a genocide before AOC would even say the word publicly. Then MTG, despite being on the complete opposite end of the political spectrum, took a harder line on Iron Dome funding than AOC did.

That’s the point people like Mehdi keep trying to dodge.

Again, no one is saying MTG is “more progressive” than AOC in any coherent ideological sense. We’re saying that, on the single most urgent moral issue of our time, AOC consistently chose party loyalty, institutional discipline, and Democratic damage control over clear moral opposition.

She stood firmly with Biden while Gaza was being annihilated. She stood firmly with Kamala and repeated hollow lines about “working tirelessly for a ceasefire” as the bombs continued falling. Then, last week, instead of showing even a shred of seriousness about coalition-building against genocide, AOC publicly scoffed at the idea of working with MTG on that issue while saying insider stock trading was the kind of thing worthy of bipartisan cooperation.

That’s exactly why so many people have lost trust in her.

You can call that criticism unfair, unserious, or “needing help,” but people watched this unfold in real time. They saw who took political risks early, who delayed, who sanitized, who provided cover, and who kept trying to manage outrage instead of confront the reality head-on.

@Frauderer_ Finalement, Medjedovic n'a pas flanché face à Navone.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Just because AOC is willing to look into a camera and tell one blatant lie after the next this way is no reason to distrust her.

Dem partisans who believed AOC's lies about Kamala here, or pretended to, are in no position to judge anyone else's suitability. #WorkingTirelessly

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

AOC will not team up with MTG to sanction Israel because of identity politics

But she teamed up with Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton to call for more sanctions on China

Asked if he thinks Israel committed genocide in Gaza, Obama accuses the questioner of not following the rules, then says “there are disasters and catastrophes everywhere”

Obama is a historically inconsequential former president who believes in nothing but his own celebrity
