every time cancer takes someone else i think of how cancer hasn’t been cured just because insurance companies decided it’s more profitable to keep people sick rather than allow cancer treatments that work better than chemo to be affordable. fuck capitalism forever.
“We take sexual violence extremely seriously” you offered the seven men who raped her the chance to write an ESSAY as a form of mitigation for their actions. You are 100% complicit in this.
Remember at Obama’s second inauguration when Lupe Fiasco performed his lyrics, “Glenn Beck is a racist, Limbaugh is a racist, Gaza Strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit. That’s why I ain’t vote for him…” and was escorted off stage?
There was a documentary about 9/11, put out in 2005-2006 called “Loose Change”. Watch it. There are more interviews with people saying the same stuff. Bomb sniffing dogs were even removed from the WTC prior to the israeli art students visit.
It's insane how this happened 25 years ago, everyone has unlimited access to the free flow of information, and this still needs to be said again and again because pigs like Hegseth feel like they can just lie
The unspoken thing here is that the jaw drop is not actually due to the scale of the dust plume but specifically because it is happening in New York. The same video taken in Beirut or Tehran would never get the same reaction from the viewer.
FACT: Zohran Mamdani was the ONLY senior most elected official who stayed after the 9/11 Memorial ended. He spoke with Massali Jr., the last person to read the names at the ceremony.
This photo was taken in 2006 by Stephanie Sinclair. She named the girl as Ghulam Haider. Even the most ill informed expert on Afghanistan will tell you that Ghulam Haider is exclusively a male name.
This scene was created by Sinclair, this wasn’t during an engagement or during a marriage party. Sinclair told them to sit there on that cushion, with that curtain in the background, and then she took the photo.
She then made up the story, made up the names (couldn’t even come up with a female name), and then spread the news far and wide for her own personal selfish interests + aligned national interests.
She then received big awards for this photograph, because it supported the American occupation’s pretext of saving Afghan women from brutal savage Afghan men.
She was also involved in the Parwana debacle of 2021, where she helped setup a fake marriage between a man and his niece (who was a child). She then went and “saved the girl” from the evil men that were trying to destroy her, and got international coverage for it, mainly because now, their NGOs were saving helpless women from evil Afghan men after the military solution failed.
Her organization is called Too Young to Wed (TYTW). As of 2026, they are still operating in Afghanistan, but keeping a low profile.
Norman Finkelstein: "The other heroes are the Yemenis. Why are they standing in solidarity with Gaza? Because what was done to Gaza was done to them. They faced the same horror. It is the human solidarity of the most wretched of the earth. It is beautiful. I deeply respect that."
I’m so serious my dad or grandpa has a recording of this from when DVR was a thing and in the middle of the broadcast the anchor is cut and they swap to a cartoon for the remainder of the episode (station side)
It is absolutely unbelievable to see this again
rest in peace to the 2,977 people who lives were taken during 9/11.
and, rest in peace to the millions of people in afghanistan, pakistan, iraq, syria and yemen who suffered for the actions they never committed.
