The spectacle aims at nothing other than itself.

[Martin Supreme, Senior @BuzzfeedGDebord]

I just don’t think the people who generally ignore cases like Prarieland because they are doing “legal, above-ground work” really have a clue about the future frontiers of state repression, even if Trump does leave office in a typical way. Democrats will do this too.

[DFWSupportCommittee @DFWSupCommittee]

“Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

30 years for moving a box of zines. 30 years. Not even at the action in question. 50 years for attending a noise demonstration or being in a signal chat. My heart breaks for them.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

sentencing is happening now and 5 of the defendants have received 50 year sentences. chilling and should be a huge story

The U.S. left really does not understand the damage it is doing to the Palestinian liberation struggle.

No serious Palestinian engaged in the struggle for liberation, whether in Palestine or in exile, would ever condemn or denounce the right of Palestinians to resist occupation, apartheid, and genocide by any means necessary.

Yet we are increasingly told that people who do exactly that are part of the movement, and that anyone who challenges them is divisive, unreasonable, or an “op.”

What this actually does is place Palestinians who remain committed to our political principles in the crosshairs of everyone: Zionists, the right wing, the state, and now even sectors of the left. It marginalizes Palestinians, portrays us as extremists for upholding positions that have always been central to our national liberation struggle, and pressures us to abandon our own political consensus in order to accommodate American political sensibilities.

The result is the isolation of Palestinians from our own movement.

And beyond being wrong, it simply does not work. Palestinians have always been told to mute criticism, soften demands, and overlook real political differences with elected officials because doing otherwise might hurt their chances of winning. We are told they secretly agree with us, that they just cannot say it publicly yet, and that once they gain power things will be different.

But the opposite keeps happening. Politicians benefit from the energy and legitimacy of the Palestine movement, then distance themselves from it once they are in office. Palestinians are expected to accept that distance, accept new compromises, and accept the constant narrowing of our politics, all in the name of pragmatism.

Meanwhile, Zionists are free to pressure those same politicians from the right without restraint, while Palestinians are told that applying pressure from our own political position is unacceptable.

If our support is always conditional on staying quiet, abandoning our principles, and never criticizing elected officials, then what is being asked of us is political obedience, and that has never advanced Palestinian liberation.

You’d think this is a joke. It is not.

I don’t have strong opinions on this but I don’t get how you can be from Australia and make your whole thing that westerners aren’t allowed to try to organize

@yt_token What does the word engage mean to you

Also- he uses Patreon. Who's owners invested 100M in Israel.

The REAL reason Bad Empanada goes after me is cuz he has a politic that says the working class in imperial core cant b organized so what they should do is make a lot of noise and complain a lot. He hates class struggle

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

@FoxNewsPortland @ducktales2020 If you consider Hillary Clinton to be a radical feminist…

I’m so glad other people are learning this shit. I’ve been trying for years to get people to understand what they live in

has anything more prescient ever been said

“In its push to draw users to its unregulated platform, Polymarket has flooded social media with videos like Makihara’s, which appear genuine at first glance. In reality, Polymarket built near-perfect copies of its website, then instructed creators to make simulated trades on those dummy sites and hide that they were being paid by Polymarket.
To get the videos to go viral, Polymarket has recruited a social-media army to copy and re-post creators’ footage.”

Taylor Lorenz has no issue staying unmasked at private parties and many different people can attest to that. Really need her to fuck off permanently.

[Kareem Rifai 🌐 @KareemRifai]

This is an utterly insane story: 25,000 documents reviewed by WaPo indicate that throughout Tulsi's career, her political moves were controlled by her guru, cult leader Chris Butler.

This woman was leading the world's largest intelligence apparatus.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: “I don’t know how you remain consistent by claiming an anti-apartheid legacy here in the United States of America while enforcing it abroad.”

Coates told Chris Hayes that the Democratic Party cannot continue avoiding the issue of Gaza and Palestine, saying the party is already facing a political and moral reckoning ahead of 2028.

it's real

In general there's not enough pooling of intellectual resources

Everyones on an island theory crafting, in an era with such unprecedented ease of communication and dissemination this is frankly unacceptable
