People like @ABlinken@jakejsullivan and @brett_mcgurk should never be able to show their face in public. They have the blood of hundreds of thousands on their hands. And it is a real scandal that @UChiPolitics has employed the American Otto Dietrich John Kirby as director.
After his moment of borrowed cool @edsheeran has retreated under his glittering carapace & returned to singing his vapid songs to morally anaesthetised audiences. @macklemore on the other hand has acquitted himself with honour, integrity, humanity & courage. Proud & defiant.
Norman Finkelstein has been telling the truth about Gaza longer than anyone else in academia. Naturally the media have dismissed him as an antisemite or ignored him completely.

It’s a good thing that Israelis are taking like this. For too long, Israel’s neighbours were complacent and saw themselves as insulated from the criminality in the occupied territories. They will never be safe until they wake up and confront the neighbourhood bully.
Here’s the problem. When you put another country above the USA, when you are in the US government, no matter what you say, you aren’t working for the American people. Go be a lobbyist. Register as a lobbyist for a foreign government and make your living that way, but don’t take a paycheck from the US taxpayer. Get out of representing the people of the USA.
There’s real bathos in this image. The man who thought he would ride Netanyahu and Trump’s coattails to the Iranian throne was instead made to sit by the restroom sign in the corner at the Lindsey Graham funeral.
With a brief speech, Zohran Mamdani has driven a truck through the wall of silence around Israel's crimes in western politics. No euphemisms, no platitudes. The truth plainly stated. Every voter will be asking why their representatives can't speak like this.
Disgusting behaviour by the Argentinians at the end, especially Paredes.
Just a bunch of nasty violent thugs, and a disgrace to football. Never been so happy to see a team lose.
Scottish actor Brian Cox on why more people do not speak out about the Palestinian genocide:
I'm too old, too tired and too talented to take any shit. I believe that the truth is important.
I believe that it was a travesty what was happening in Palestine.
It's just that the way the Israelis have behaved towards Palestine is just unforgivable.
I think a lot of people are sort of worried about their careers.
