The fact that the Western ruling classes treat both climate breakdown and plausible genocide with such extraordinary nonchalance demonstrates once again that they are entirely comfortable with mass suffering if it serves the interests of capital and geopolitical hegemony.
BREAKING: According to reports, 25 year old Aaron Bushnell has passed away.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family for this tragic end to his young life.
His last words were "Free Palestine."
RIP Aaron Bushnell 🙏🏽

يُعجبكم موتنا وتتفاخرون بكثرة شهدائنا
يُعجبكم قهرنا وقلة حيلتنا وصمودنا
وتكرهون ضعفنا وإعترافنا بأننا بشر
حتى انك يا عزيزي لم تتكبد عناء مقاطعة منتجات القتلة الا بعد ان قتل منا ما يزيد عن العشرين ألفا
ألم اقل لكم اننا لسنا محتوى لعين لتشاهدوه ؟
بل قضية نحاول لوحدنا ان لا نمحى عن الوجود
وانتم تنظرون وتنَظرون.
Israel put out the following warnings for families of freed Palestinian prisoners
1. No talking to the press
2. No gatherings in the homes of any of the released prisoners
3. No passing of sweets or displays of celebration
Violations of these rules will incur a $19k penalty
The ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Gaza:
1. That Israel had no idea what Hamas was up to prior to October 7, but ever since October 7 has known about every hospital, mosque, school, refugee camp and water tower that Hamas is hiding in.
2. That the blame for all of the deaths caused by Israeli weapons launched by Israel rests solely on Hamas.
3. That Hamas is using “human shields” — meaning Hamas bases are hidden amidst civilian populations — yet Israel is managing to kill thousands of civilians without doing any meaningful damage to Hamas.
4. That it would be perfectly fine to murder children by the thousands even if they were being used as “human shields” — as though resolving a hostage situation by mowing down thousands of child hostages would be regarded as reasonable and acceptable by the public if it happened in our own country.
5. That is is only by pure coincidence that Israel bombing “Hamas targets” in civilian infrastructure and residential buildings just so happens to look exactly the same as what you’d expect to see if Israel was simply bombing civilian infrastructure and residential buildings and lying about its reasons for doing so.
6. That satellite images of entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble in Gaza have been caused by “precision strikes” directed solely at Hamas and have been carried out with the greatest of care for human life, despite Israeli officials openly saying that “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy” in this assault and that “Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents; there will be no buildings.”
7. That this bombing campaign has anything to do with freeing Israeli hostages — as though the bombing campaign itself has not killed dozens of hostages, and as though anyone believes Israel would stop bombing Gaza after the hostages are returned.
8. That the only reason anyone could possibly oppose the detonation of thousands of bombs on an open air prison full of children would be if they had very strong and hateful opinions toward the members of the religion of Judaism.
9. That Hamas attacked Israel entirely out of the blue and completely unprovoked, solely because they are evil and hate Jews.
10. That Washington is powerless to stop this genocide that it is directly funding and supplying.
UPDATE: Indigenous activists are now blocking the weapons shipment to Israel from leaving the Tacoma Port from the water.
The boat is still unable to leave the port.
crying as i’m translating, a mother says about her martyred children:
“you’re the ones who survived, not me. I remained in the most terrifying vile world which deprived me of you in a moment of betrayal. I swear I am satisfied with Allah’s fate.. (1/4)
a journalist caught an israeli soldier about to throw a grenade at MEDICS, ER RESPONDERS, AMBULANCE and JOURNALISTS but he stopped when she caught him on camera. this is why reposting about what’s going on in Palestine is so important

Doctors at Al Shifa hospital are giving a press conference to counter the Israeli claims that Hamas’ headquarters is located under the hospital. They’re urging the international community to protect the hospital and the hundreds of patients currently there.
i don’t know about you, but if somebody changes their story about bombing a hospital multiple times, edits their social media posts, brags about doing it on other accounts in different languages, after saying they’ll do it over and over again, i think that they actually did it.
[Video Thread] In response to the Israeli attack on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza earlier today, huge, spontaneous demonstrations have broken out across the Middle East tonight.
Let's go through them:
1) In Iran 🇮🇷, crowds have gathered in Palestine Square.
A 10-year-girl picked up "It's Perfectly Normal" when at the library. She showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father. (1/3)
Affirmative action taken away, LGBTQ discrimination supported, student loan debt forgiveness blocked, Elon controlling how much information we see on a public social media app.
All within a few days. Y’all a revolution gotta be around the corner cause they not gonna stop.
Lmfao I remember this bitchass climate strike organizer. He must’ve realized that once he wasn’t getting the greenwashed brand deals, he’d get his fame and capital by joining the oppressors. Mfs are so spineless… and i don’t put ppl on blast like that.
Calvin Yang, a member of Students for Fair Admissions, speaks out after winning the U.S. Supreme Court case against affirmative action:
“Today’s decision has started a new chapter in the saga of the history of Asian Americans.”
