I was wrong. I thought the US would at the very least defend Rafah, as it said. I thought a commitment repeated so many times meant something. Especially after the massacre of the convoy, the killing of aid workers. Now a million people have been expelled and 40% of the buildings destroyed.

Look, is it deeply uncomfortable to watch the only Jewish state be taken to ICJ? Yes. Have they earned this? Also yes. If you’re filming your crimes, it’s pretty bold to call it anti-Semitism

jfc, we’re still hearing about feral cats? Just point them at the official DOC page and engage no further.

If you support liberation for Ukraine but not for Palestinians, or vice versa, you are probably not the freedom loving anti-imperialist that you think you are.

Just reminder that brutal ethnic cleansing is apparently perfectly OK if the victims are Palestinians (or Armenians for that matter)

Really tired of people hiding behind the “it’s complicated” stuff with Israel and Palestine. No shit that the entire history is complicated, that’s a different issue than dropping bombs on hospitals, that isn’t complicated. That’s bad.

IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY PREDICTED THAT TURNING THE BASIC HUMAN NEED FOR SHELTER INTO A SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT COULD HAVE NEGATIVE REPERCUSSIONS
This is what happens when a country & state defund public and subsidized housing and increasingly turn a basic human need over to the private speculative market. Record profits while fewer and fewer homes are affordable.

never using healing potions bc you might need them later, then dying - but for constitutional safeguards intended for your specific situation
"Once they start banning candidates for good reasons they'll start banning candidates for bad reasons!" is a slippery-slope argument against literally all forms of accountability.
“If Trump gets disqualified for leading an insurrection then we’ll be forced to treat every Republican claim regarding ballot access with complete legitimacy."
Why?

Just remember that white nationalists are no friend of either Palestinians or Jews but are exploiting the suffering of all. Don’t give them succour.
Accounts, like Stop Zionist Hate, are part of an even larger white nationalist, neo-Nazi and far-right project: exploiting the war in Gaza as disinformation explodes and a friendly billionaire/social media site owner gives them free rein.
