Bari Weiss is not just incompetent but also a secondhand murderer

Refaat was assassinated about a month after this along with his family

If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss @bariweiss and her likes.

Gaza take these lies and smears seriously and they act upon them.

If Trump's deportation machine were an army, it would be the 13th largest on earth, ahead of Poland, Canada, Iran. The funding increase kicked in Oct 1, as federal agents unleash violence on the Chicago area, raiding communities and brutalizing protesters. By me & Lindsay Koshgarian, 📷 Steel Brooks.

The 13th Largest Army in World Is Unleashing Violence in Chicago

As federal agents kill and use extreme force in Chicago, their budget surges.

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

USC sold dead bodies to U.S. military to train IDF medical personnel

A review of seven years’ worth of contracts unveiled more than $860,000 to use cadavers in surgical trainings involving the Israeli Defense Forces.

Still no news about the activists in the Flotilla, the latest update was that the lawyers were finally allowed to reach them. They did not give the activists food and water, and made them kneel with their hands ties for hours. They have been relentlessly bombing Gaza all night too.

Oracle employees who expressed support for Palestine were "referred to internal mental health resources."

Oracle is about to own TikTok.

Eli Clifton @eliclifton.com · 5d

Execs at Oracle, the likely new owner of TikTok, are VERY outspoken in Israeli media about the company's "mission to support the State of Israel" & "unequivocal support for Israel."

Insufficiently pro-Israel Oracle staff receive mental health counseling. responsiblestatecraft.org/oracle-tikto...

Oracle execs: Love Israel or maybe this isn't the job for you

Employees who disagreed were reportedly referred to company mental health services

Anyway, here's what this all means.

US soybean farmers have two options.

Grow something else, or get welfare checks forever.

There is no third option.

i think there might be an ingrained sense that Black and Native people have endured for so long, that we're just built to endure longer.
That we should accept being lessons on white roads to self redemption and that one day the right cis-white man will liberate us.
that's still racism w/ a bow on it

We're going to be in movement for the rest of our lives, there's a world to win & so much between us and freedom. How do we make struggle sustainable? So ask yourself, what is the best use of my skills and resources. Limit yourself to that work, because you can't be everywhere.

It's like arguing communism w. some suburban grandpa: people have been indoctrinated as fuck into a settler mythology and will not be able to think clearly and deeply on these topics.

You couldn't pay me to click that link. I've reached a point where I'm no longer engaging with anything white people (and honestly a lot of non-Natives too) have to say about our history, and current social/economic/ cultural practice.

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
