@cmkshama @Shut_downAmazon Well said Kshama Sawant.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

My family and I are exposed to all sorts of threats, restrictions and hateful rethoric.

Yet we would say and do everything we have said and done against the genocide, its ideologues and profiteers, again and again.

Forever proud to stand on the side of Justice.

Hillel Neuer, who denies zionist influence (control) in the US, brags about destroying Francesca Albanese's ability to conduct normal daily life transactions, and how they then went after her husband too.

For all his serious failings at home and abroad, history will most remember Keir Starmer as an enthusiastic participant in the Axis of Genocide. His direct complicity in the genocide in Palestine and his brutal repression of human rights defenders protesting the genocide in the UK will define his legacy forever. His departure from office is only the first step toward justice. Now let him answer for his crimes in a court of law.

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

A highly respected barrister who worked on the era-defining Stephen Lawrence, Hillsborough and Grenfell cases is now being hounded by a judge for mounting a legal defence of four activists who targeted an Israeli drone factory.

So here's Josh Gottheimer accusing the first Muslim Mayor of NY of antisemitism because he dared to call out AIPAC and pro-Israel lobby dark money.

Gottheimer peddles in Islamophobia and racism.

And guess what, Josh? AIPAC are monsters, as is everyone who supports Israel's genocide of Gaza and ethnic cleansing of Lebanon.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Keir Starmer was not merely a disappointment. He is a mendacious figure of ethical decrepitude, a man who won the Labour Party leadership based on promises that he jettisoned five seconds after winning - a Labour leader who dared banish from the Labour Party not only his predecessor but also remarkable human beings like director Ken Loach - the gentleman who has taken the historic Labour Party and transformed it into a vessel for the very oligarchy it was elected to restrain.

Consider the litany of Starmer’s moral and logical failures. He promised a 'different Britain', yet his actions were a masterclass in Tory-lite politics—using the same maxed-out credit card analogies that once served the austerity brigades to justify his own failure of vision. He promised a human rights lawyer’s approach but he embraced a racist-lite version of Farage.

On Europe, Starmer promised Brexiteers that Brexit is Brexit yet stood before those who yearn to rejoin the European Union, winked at them to make them feel that Britain would gradually reconnect, even rejoin, with the EU while offering nothing of substance. This is not leadership; it is a fraud.

And then there's the manner in which Starmer and his government rushed to offer Israel unequivocal support in pursuing its genocide in Gaza, sacrificing precious political and civil liberties in the UK by imprisoning grandmothers, priests and peaceful activists who dared support Palestine Action, an organisation that Starmer and his minions proscribed as terrorists for practising the usual activist tactics of trespassing to spray paint military planes that had demonstrably aided in the genocide. To add insult to injury, Starmer performed the diplomatic pantomime of recognising a Palestinian state, in a manner that ensured it would never happen.

But above all else, this is a government that has learned nothing from the post-2008 era. Starmer and his Chancellor are playing the same tired austerity game while enabling and empowering the Finance Curse perpetrated by the City of London, throwing in forgood measure cuts in international aid to fund a military spending trickle under the guise of a "Strategic Defence Review" . It is the same old doctrine: austerity for the masses, socialism for the financiers and the arms dealers.

History will remember Mr Starmer as a man without conviction, a Prime Minister who offers not a shred of honesty, but merely the cruel illusion of change. He is ethically decrepit because he had chosen, consciously, to abandon principle for power. And for that, history will indict him. Good riddance, I say.

Just a reminder that Barack Obama is a war criminal who executed an American citizen and his 14 year old son overseas and dropped 26,171 bombs on poor people - including children- in the Middle East and Africa in 2016 alone.

[Will 305x @305xWill]

@zei_squirrel Thank you! As a Cuban we have helped the world, and now we see the world will gladly let us die. The era of international solidarity is over!

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

still no oil from Claudia Sheinbaum, Lula, Petro. It's not even worth mentioning DelCIA. Putin also only sent the one shipment. Disgraceful betrayal of Cuban solidarity. Shame on all those liar scumbags with their viral Sheinbaum clips promising oil that never arrived

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

After another ceasefire was announced in Lebanon, Israel has continued to bomb, with their officials claiming they have freedom of action to keep striking.

Israel doesn’t abide by ceasefires, not ever.

If the Americans want their deal with Iran to actually work, they need to impose consequences on the Israelis for this.

[Michael @Michael_376]

@susanabulhawa Agreed, it's never enough.

I thought NEVER AGAIN applied to everyone, clearly I was mistaken.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

Literally, the whole fucking world came to their aid, gave them someone else’s country, paid them reparations unprecedented in human history. But it’s not enough. They think they should be able to get away with genocide, colonial expansion, and endless looting and pillaging around the world.

[Ali Abunimah @AliAbunimah]

Yes. Your problem is that the truth is getting out.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

In case anyone's unclear, Trump will never deserve any "credit" for making peace with Iran, even if he does end up pushing Israel to comply with the deal. You don't get praise for starting an unprovoked war of aggression and then losing. That's not a thing.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.

On top of that, Israel now wants to retaliate for its soldiers being killed while invading their neighbor.

This is pure madness. Just leave Lebanon.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

Revolutions are made by people who have done the math and concluded they have nothing left to protect.

The genius of late capitalism is that it never lets the math resolve that cleanly.

You have debt, yes, but you also have a 401k, small, underfunded, but real.

You have a mortgage that owns more of the house than you do, but it's still called "your house."

You have a job that could disappear tomorrow, but hasn't yet.

You have healthcare tied to that job, fragile, contingent, but present.

Every one of these is a small leash.

Not strong enough to make you safe.

Strong enough to make you cautious.

You're not trapped by chains.

You're trapped by a thousand small tethers, each one too minor to revolt over, all of them together heavy enough that you never do.

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

Democrats will be running to the right of Donald Trump on Iran in 2026 and 2028, and they will try to stake a more pro-Israel position than Trump is right now.

No, the stupid war never should have happened and Trump is to blame for believing Israel's bullshit, but to not embrace a path out of war and to overlook Israel's crimes is unforgivable.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

@AmbassadorRice The world has changed since you helped destroy several nations on the neocon hit list

But it seems you haven’t

[Medea Benjamin @medeabenjamin]

Says the woman who was a leading advocate of the 2011 Libya intervention, supported a troop surge in Afghanistan, favored a stronger response in Syria, etc.

[marincountyconfidential @marindatanow]

this is all promoted and defended (and even partially funded) by your local major Jewish institutions, many of which fund some of your favorite nonprofit organizations.

You've been bought and sold into silent complicity.
