The genocidal Zionists are not interested in peace - they want to exterminate people and take the land

Anyone who thinks otherwise is seriously deluded

Anyone who is still believing Israel wants a peaceful solution to this is not living in reality. They’ve always been the antagonist, ppl were duped into having viewpoints that Palestinians are the problem when it’s been the Zionists from the start.

I don’t think this would shut down all rude behaviour - the frightened, fearful, homogeneous, social-policing middle class are emboldened to double down on their insanity

That said…

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

Denni, a golden retriever with a sweet face, sits and looks up at the camera with a smile. she has a passenger clinging to her back. a baby koala. the joey's eyes peak over the top of Denni's head.

Denni is standing and looking off to the left of the frame. the baby koala on her back looks at the camera.

a super zoomed photo of the baby koala and their mom high up in a tree. the adult koala holds onto her joey and looks down at the camera with what we would like to think is appreciation for caring for her baby.

Blair called himself a socialist. This little fact still boils my piss to this very day

Living in a neoliberal dystopian hellscape @breakify.bsky.social · 7d

We need to be extra tough on the folks who claim to represent us, then act like typical politicians once they're in power. When they call themselves "socialists," they're speaking for us, whether we like it or not, and if they're misrepresenting what socialism is to the public, that hurts all of us.

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools.

70+ years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white.

In this town, one school keeps kids divided.

Segregation Academies Still Operate Across the South. One Town Grapples With Its Divided Schools.

Seventy years after Brown v. Board, Black and white residents, in Camden, Alabama, say they would like to see their children schooled together. But after so long apart, they aren’t sure how to make it...

What to do as the ruling class get more violent and oppressive… build up community

Basic income is a reskilling investment. People need time to take courses. @mark-carney.bsky.social himself said we need a system where 40 yr olds can go back to school. They need basic income for that. Without it people get stuck in dead end jobs just for income security.
