just imo but i think a crucial sticking point in public discourse over there last year is many many people’s inability or unwillingness to get into their heads just how many palestinians are imprisoned by israel who have literally not done anything wrong

People are pointing out that public infrastructure shouldn’t be expected to make a profit. But the point of this post is that we frequently expect transit and even walk/bike projects to justify themselves by farebox recovery or economic activity and never expect this of highways.

Americans need to see this so they can understand that Israel isn’t “fighting for its life,” Gaza’s destruction isn’t an “unavoidable consequence of urban warfare,” but that Israel is systematically wiping a city of two million people off the face of the earth block by block.

Doctor: “All of the disasters I’ve seen combined, 40 mission trips, 30 years, Ground Zero, earthquakes. All of that combined doesn’t equal the level of carnage I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza”

Reporter: Is it mostly children?

Doctor: Almost exclusively…

"Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?" disturbingly resonates 180 years later.

3 of 5 ppl in the US are one missed paycheck from being homeless. The odds of someone you know being prison labor for simply being poor just shot up--as did stocks in private prisons today.

On Monday, USAID contractor Alexander Smith resigned after being threatened to choose between resignation & dismissal for preparing a presentation on Palestinian maternal health.

This administration is evil - absolutely evil.

I’ve seen three images in the last few minutes that’ll be with me for the rest of my life. To bomb a refugee camp is an unimaginable horror. Every hand has to be turned to stop this.

slave labor in Oregon with prisoners for $0.05 per hour.

now ask again why our politicians are criminalizing addiction and mental illness and homelessness and poverty...

Everyone keeps leaving out 1985 when students took over Hamilton Hall, renamed it Mandela Hall, demanded the school divest from South Africa over apartheid. It was the longest siege--nearly three weeks-- of the university in its history. No riot police then, either.

Today is one of those moments where we have to remember that the cops were not actually defunded in 2020. The ruling class actually doubled down on funding them, to repress us in moments like this.

We are being asked to be horrified and disgusted that people in this country are protesting this.

We are being told - by organizations, institutions, the news media, the Biden administration - that the real threat are those who stand & resist against this depravity.
