The Australian response to the recent massacre, to silence criticism of the genocide and ethnic cleansing committed by Israel, is just another expression of the imperialist, settler-colonialist and ultimately racist mindset: Western lives (Israeli lives) matter, but Arab and Muslim lives do not.

Every accusation is an admission, the same as the IDF and the "human shields" claim.

Joke of the day : "ICE holds its employees to the highest standards of professionalism and takes seriously all accusations of inappropriate conduct" -ICE spokesperson after one of their officers is revealed to be a white supremacist
If they held their agents accountable, there wouldn't be any left.

Governors nation wide should send word to the State and Local Police to arrest ICE on sight. If they resist, then their National Guard should be mobilized to bring this terrorist Gestapo under control. American Communities should be protected.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Eight people detained for allegedly protesting in support of Palestine are currently undertaking the largest hunger strike in UK prisons in over 40 years. The strikers need international solidarity to show the world they are not alone.

The Voith-Schneider Propeller is a vertical-axis marine drive whose spinning blades change pitch continuously, letting a ship generate instant thrust in any direction, like a helicopter rotor underwater. Super-maneuverable, perfect for tugs and ferries.

I’ve been working on an op-ed for the past 15 years, and I’d really love to get it published. It’s titled Birtherism Is Racism. . . actually, that’s the whole thing. Thanks for reading my column.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint
