In Gaza, a winter storm has compounded the misery of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living in tents after Israel’s more than two-year bombardment destroyed or damaged most of the territory’s buildings.

Hey everyone shut up for a minute and listen to spaghootighost, he's making a really important point that we aren't talking about enough.
If you haven't been reading A. R. Moxon this year, here are twelve great places to start.
Today I wrote about what it means to write a free newsletter with voluntary subscriptions, and the delicate gift that it is to have a readership, and re-shared 12 essays from the year that was.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back
You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Next time someone says they don’t have to apologize for being white anymore, ask them to tell about the most recent time they were forced to apologize for being white and who made them do it.

When I wake up early my fiancé is usually awake, too. But then he starts snoring again and I think to myself that I should get out of bed so I don't disturb him.
Without fail, the moment I choose to start sliding out of bed he snuggles in close.

It’s my sincere religious belief that conservative Christians should be fed to lions for the amusement of crowds in sports arenas, and if you think that that’s hateful, then you’re not respecting my free speech and may be instigating violence against me.

When Trump dies-- could be at any point, who knows -- we get Vance.
They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier Christofascism.
We must be preparing for this now & organizing accordingly.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian in the town of Azzun on Sunday. The violence came as Israeli media reported Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has set aside more than $830 million to fund 17 new settlements in the occupied West Bank over the next five years.

Each day, we learn of Israel’s theft of yet another slice of Palestine. Piece by piece, acre by acre, the Palestinian nation has been seized by Israeli offensive forces and carved up by Zionist colonizers in contravention of all treaties, accords, “peace” agreements and the like.

The coverage about British and American troops committing war crimes with impunity in Afghanistan has been non-existent in the mainstream press unlike the shooting last week.
This is nothing but Islamophobia and the dehumanization of people in predominantly Muslim majority countries.
