Treaty 13 Territory

I don’t know. It feels obscenely stupid to start posting videos of my loved ones in Gaza right now, as their tents flood with rainwater in the middle of the night, as they sleep in damp clothes on soaked mattresses, and to think for a f*cking second that these images might move someone to save their babies, to protect what little dignity they have left. As if this time could be any different from last year, or the year before that, or the year before that. As if people around the world, especially those with the power to do something, might suddenly be moved by a family’s tent flooding with rainwater when the sight of hundreds of babies whose bodies were shredded by Israeli bombs was not enough to put an end to this. How many more times must we expose the suffering of the people we love, strip them of their privacy in their most vulnerable moments, in the desperate hope that someone, somewhere, might finally care enough to act?

First black woman legislator to vote for arms to Israel. First Indigenous woman to sign a deal with Elbit Systems. First Palestinian woman to explain that the Iron Dome is defensive. First latina woman to rubber-stamp the next war. First trans woman to affirm Israel's right to exist.

Who in this “blue wave” is calling for the US to end the blockade and sanctions regime against Cuba? Who in this “blue wave” is demanding that oil be shipped and allowed into Cuba? Who in this “blue wave” is demanding the release of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores?

It's hard not to feel extreme contempt for Canada at this moment, where "elbows up" became an immediate excuse for a right-wing takeover, where everything is getting worse while rich boomers cheer it on, knowing they won't live to see the consequences.

finding it impossible to tolerate how everything becomes entertainment to americans. war is discourse, elections are a sports event, politicians are celebrities, and the suffering of everyone beyond their borders isanother subject for debate. i don't have the heart for it

Oh, you don't fancy being vaporised by a 100-million-degree nuclear fireball? So does Israel not have a right to defend itself? You virulent antisemite.

My favorite story in the Bible is where a disabled man asked Jesus to heal him, and Jesus asked to see his insurance card first. But the man was uninsured, so Jesus told him to get fucked and get a job.

This is one of the most fundamental, essential attitudes of Zionist ideology: Why did you make me do this terrible thing to you, you monster?
Here the thing on Michigan: This is all on El-Sayed. He has never, ever condemned antisemitism and Israel hate. Never. He just hasn’t. And he’s had a million opportunities to do so. He would easily condemn racism against black people. But not antisemitism against Jews. El-Sayed may still win, but he’s the reason this race is super close. He’s the reason black and Jewish voters in Michigan won’t vote Democrat this year. This is all on him.

Zionists are like “Oh my God they’re harassing people who support genocide just because we’re Jewish” and for some fucking insane reason this is not immediately dismissed by everyone everywhere

“La burguesía del mundo entero, que mira complacida la matanza en masa después de la lucha, ¡se estremece de horror ante la profanación del ladrillo y la argamasa!”. La Guerra en Francia, 1871 - Karl Marx.
