A timely reminder that leaked Israeli studies found that pushing pro-Israel propaganda to Westerners didnt work & instead they advised spending millions blasting the West with racist Islamophobic content demonizing Muslims instead. I think about that a lot while browsing Twitter

Liberals are the most useless creatures on Earth. Holy fuck.

The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar! - Karl Marx, The Civil War in France

I’d you’re shocked at the damage in France to an old town hall you’ll be horrified to hear what’s happened to the beautiful old buildings and heritage of the Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans

Reactionaries more concerned with old buildings on fire than the disintegration of the social order under their beloved neoliberalism.

If this were happening in the streets of Moscow, Beijing or Tehran, there would be wall to wall, 24/7 news coverage, and the talking heads of the capitalist press would be calling for the leaders to step down. The media would pick a colour, and call it a "revolution."

wow weird all the accounts shitting on the french protestors normally post pro Israel content. Must be a coincidence or something

American @washingtonpost journalist Heidi Levine was just severely beaten by settlers in Abu Falah. Videos coming in a minute.

The smug confidence of a Zionist billionaire whose family bought her the job in the first place.

The effort by Zionists to use Black voters as human shields here is worth exploring. Jewish voters don’t have the same demographic power as Black Americans, who are 12% of the population (vs Jews at 2%), and who are prominent in many swing states (eg MI, TX, OH, NC, VA, Fl) unlike Jewish Americans who tend to be concentrated in deep blue states (NY, DC, MD, NJ, MA). Even in swing states that are considered to have large Jewish populations, Jewish representation is fairly small, and they are dwarfed by other minority groups who get a fraction of the attention from the Democratic establishment. (FL is 3.5% Jewish, 29% Hispanic, 16% Black, 3.3 percent Asian, but no one is debating the effect of the Asian vote on Angie Nixon’s race.) Zionists like Shannon are co-opting traditional appeals made to Black voters about being the *base* of the party, but Jewish voters have nowhere near the same demographic power in a state like MI, which is 1% Jewish and 14% Black. Fully a quarter of all Michigan Dems are Black. (It’s also 4% Asian— again, no one is discussing the Asian American vote.) Nonetheless, Zionists exert an incredible amount of political influence, despite not being especially demographically relevant, bc of the disproportionate influence of Zionist lobbying. (Eg AIPAC et al.) The tethering of “Blacks & Jews” is intended to obscure this anti-democratic financial influence, and to launder it as democratic demographic power. The irony is that the democratic party’s indifference to Black voter demands and constant disciplining of Black Americans through “Sista Souljah” moments clearly shows theres a difference between how much respect money gets you vs votes.

Apropos of nothing, I’d like to point out that when poll after poll showed Democrats losing ground with Arab Americans by massive margins in 2024, the media did not read it as a signal that Democrats had lost their way but as a moral failing by Arab American voters themselves.

Steven Miller's idiot wife has handed Ilhan Omar's legal team all the evidence they need to argue that any case brought against her is not an independent, fact-driven law enforcement action, but instead the predetermined fulfillment of a campaign promise targeting a vocal critic.

An anecdote sent to me by a Palestinian friend who was previously held at an Israeli concentration camp: "When the doctor at the prison asked me if I had any health issues or conditions and I mentioned pneumonia, I noticed him smiling at the guard with a look that seemed to say, "Excellent! We’ve got something to work with." Later, after I had mentioned the pneumonia, three guards deliberately struck me hard in the chest, right over my lungs. Another man, 58 years old, told them he had just suffered a medical attack, yet they beat him in the face. And in the case of another man—after they learned he had a broken toe—they stomped on his foot..." The standard in Israel's concentration camps for Palestinians is constant sadistic torture. All day, every day.

DHS raiding a member of congress's home to search for immigration paperwork filled out decades ago by her now-deceased father really checks all the fascist police state boxes.

Some people don't understand why Marco Rubio is so extremely pro-colonialist, because he is technically of Cuban descent. But it's important to understand that Rubio does NOT see himself as Cuban. He constantly emphasizes that he is of Spanish (and Italian) descent. In his latest speech in Greece, in which he again heaped praise on Western colonialism, Rubio proudly described himself as "a great-grandson of settlers who arrived in the new world from Spain". He heroized European colonialists Hernán Cortés and Christopher Columbus. Rubio does NOT see his family as Cuban; he sees his ancestors as European colonialists who temporarily lived in Cuba (as wealthy, light-skinned elites who supported the right-wing US puppet dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista), before re-settling in Florida. This, in fact, is exactly how many conservative, pro-imperialist elites in Latin America see themselves, by the way.

It’s just beyond belief the size, scale, and audacity of the giant far-right drug cartel that Narco Rubio has been steadily building across the breadth of Latin America

I love Pakistan. I love the people, their culture and how they have always been so hospitable to me when I visit. I simply cannot how imagine how the good Pakistani people put up with this disgusting little turd and his corrupt gang. Free Imran Khan.

In this dangerous moment for Ukraine, it’s worth remembering what Vladimir Putin said years ago about NATO’s role in the proxy war: “There are those in the West who don't mind a long war because it would mean exhausting Russia, even if this means the demise of Ukraine and comes at the cost of Ukrainian lives.” My bad, it was actually a different president who said that — Volodymyr Zelensky, March 2022: x.com/aaronjmate/status/1991…

The American's greatest fear is that someone else will do to them what they do to others
