I just got back from three weeks in Occupied Palestine. I visited many places in E Jerusalem and the West Bank. I have seen the evil of the Zionist colonial project and its brutal occupation and oppression. I will be writing and sharing about it soon.

Does this app still feel like it might go somewhere? Is anyone moving to upscrolled? Is it worth me logging on here more regularly? So many questions. So many platforms…

The unseen cost of all this will be felt by so, so many—while being understood by so, so few.

Does anyone know who runs this platform? As in, is it equally ethically and morally compromised and repugnant as those other pro-genocide purgatories?

So much posturing.
So little backbone.

You’re a holocaust denier and a genocide apologist. This will be yours to carry the rest of you sad life. Go away.

Are you confused? What’s that got to do with my point about this self styled “activist” not having said a single word about the ongoing US Taxpayer funded mass extermination of human beings?

Ha! Don’t blame me if some crusty old neoliberal ghoul’s colonial progenitors in Australia stole my family name!

I don’t know if you’re actually doing a parody of “anti expert” halfwits right now…like “experts don’t know anything, but let me tell you what genocide is…” it’s brilliant 😂😂😂

Exactly correct. This is not a war.

While you’re not wrong per se about the gun laws etc, it is absolutely astonishing how your indignation at what you call an “act of pure hate” is so loud for this one non-fatal incident but nonexistent for an entire US funded Israeli genocide of thousands of human beings. Not a peep. Astonishing.

You won’t remain silent as two super rich white entertainers are trolled by a two bit conman in tbe WH…but you’re happy to remain silent while hundreds of thousands of human beings are being exterminated in Palestine?
Admirable. And so brave.

To anyone with a brain it’s drunk, not drank. It’s “you have drunk the koolaid.”

Almost inexplicable, certainly inexpressible—and how it deepens with time—this profound love and feeling of close spirit I have for Virginia Woolf, born on this day in 1882. 🖤

Looking around this society it’s very difficult to tell who has been indoctrinated and who is doing the indoctrinating.

Then I realise the distinction is mostly irrelevant.

So many people closing out this year believing that they are insulated, safe, untouched, and uninvolved in the death and total collapse of humanity they half-see happening in places and to people they imagine as so very far away.
How wrong they are.
How soon they will find out.
