The term "genocide" was not coined until Europeans went against their own. It did not exist when they plundered and murdered the untold number of people in Africa. It did not exist when they spread their filth throughout Turtle Island, murdering millions of our Native brothers and sisters.

Even if you believe this, let’s not whitewash Biden’s legacy, while he and Congress continued to send equipment and weapons to annihilate Palestinian civilians and Israeli hostages through the end of his term.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Financial bullying other world powers is a great way to isolate yourself and screw yourself out of relationships and resources.

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

In 2006, Hamas didn’t even win 50% of the vote. Regardless, each nation has the right to select their own leadership.

The #US, #UK, & #EU are led by people who commit war crimes, but there is no push from colonial foreign states to disempower them from choosing their own governance… 🤔 #gaza

The IOF kept lying to him that his whole family was killed, over and over again, so that they can psychologically torture him. This was the moment he saw them.

One year ago today, we watched children burn to death in their tents after a targeted occupation airstrike. Saleh and Ahmed broke the news to the world and both have been martyred since.

Living in a neoliberal dystopian hellscape @breakify.bsky.social · 1d

In a capitalist system, if something makes money, people immediately assume that something is being done right. They ignore all the warning signs and all legitimate criticism becomes invalid because everyone passively accepts the idea that when it comes to business, only making money matters.

Israel won’t stop killing and starving Palestinians, despite any agreement, ever. Historical record confirms that any accord Israel makes will always be in bad faith.

And the West and supporting complicit Arab/Muslim countries already know this.

Released hostage reports that Palestinians are being tortured multiple times per day in #Israel prisons.

Inmates were fired at by Israeli troops with rubber-coated bullets & because of that, he had “deep wounds around his private parts and back”. Many detainees were also electrocuted. #gaza

Thankful they are finally all going home 🙏

Now release the Palestinian hostages.

Not just the 1,900 in the “deal,” but the other 9,000+ who remain in Israeli prisons deprived of food, clean water, healthcare, & often being tortured, 🍇’ed, or killed.

Tomorrow is #IndigenousPeoplesDay for the US. If you aren't native, thank our ancestors for even being alive right now because without us the colonists probably would have starved, frozen and poisoned themselves to extinction within a year.

Fuck Columbus, he was just a greedy rapist.
