Exactly right. It wasn't just invasion, brutality, subjugation, and theft, it was a way to feel good about atrocity and cast those who resisted it as irrational, hateful monsters.

Colonialism was not just theft. It was the invention of a moral language to make theft look like salvation.

"I’m all for unifying, I’m all for bridging gaps, but not at the expense of my neighbor’s humanity. I just can’t."

Class not race affirmative action but apparently it was to protect the 1% lmao how do people actually get fooled by this

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

"these protesters have been met with increasing acts of brutality. Sometimes, the government’s repressive acts of violence are precipitated by the protesters’ efforts to block ICE vehicles. But often, the violence seems random or even recreational in nature."

Assata Shakur RIP

anyone telling you that palestinians should peacefully resist the zionist occupation of their land should remember the last time they did that israeli snipers fired indiscriminately into the crowd, specifically aiming at people's legs to cripple them

I wrote about how everyone denounced political violence...unless it's violence by the state, in which case it's considered something other than political violence. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/what-count...

Comical levels of authoritarian genocidal villainy

"A Mayor cannot end these atrocities. But they can speak for the values of this city: a commitment to human rights for all people, including Palestinians, and a yearning for peace and justice. Even if those values are anathema to those in power now, they will endure."

Netanyahu: "Would a country committing genocide plead with the civilian population that it is supposedly targeting to get out of harms way? Did the Nazis ask the Jews to leave? Of course not" Actually, encouraging Jews to emigrate is exactly what the Nazis did 1933-39. Ignorant of Jewish history.

Huge win for all the incredible people behind No Tech for Apartheid and related campaigns, well done

It appears that there is an increasingly high chance Israel will be banned next week from UEFA due to its genocide in Gaza, which would in turn effectively end its hopes of qualifying for the World Cup. I have heard this independently confirmed from another source. www.thetimes.com/article/11e9...

It's alarming how many people need to hear this: racism is not the natural and inevitable response to the presence of (the wrong number of) racialised Others. It is a learned response, and as such it is contestable and replaceable. This is anti-racism 101. Entry level stuff.

Israel to close West Bank crossing to Jordan indefinitely starting Wednesday. The closure of Allenby effectively seals off the non-Jewish population of the West Bank from the outside world, as IDF attacks and settler pogroms accelerate. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

"The company builds surveillance weapons such as Graphite, a zero-click smartphone hack that can access encrypted communications, turn on the camera and microphone, and vacuum up every text, direct message, intimate photograph, and personal file stored on the device—all without the user noticing."

My newest article for @ricochetmedia.bsky.social, on how the Liberals and Conservatives applauded a far-right hatemonger ricochet.media/justice/far-...

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

“We recognise you, but we’re still going to sell these weapons”.

Recognition of State of Palestine by Canada, France, UK etc is not only performative it is dangerous. It doesnt commit to ending genocide or implementing arms embargo and sanctions. Plus, explicitly calls for demilitarization of Palestine and disarming resistance. Reviving Oslo is not an option!

Large anti corruption protests in the Philippines are underway. Triggered by deadly floods which exposed $2billion lost to corruption in flood defence projects some of which didn't exist at all. www.rappler.com/philippines/... And a familiar flag is being flown at the protests.

We have been shadowbanned on this event and yet we are nearly sold out…come help us sell out and show your love and support for Palestine and Gaza. www.ticketmaster.com/voices-for-g...

NEWS: The Congressional Progressive Caucus — which represents nearly 100 members in Congress — has just voted to endorse the Block the Bombs Act, to block weapon sales to Israel. First time any major congressional caucus has backed legislation to end US aid for Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

This happened the same day Canada announces a new law, Bill C-9 "the Combatting Hate Act", so it's pretty obvious who they are threatening here. I wonder how long until we're all jailed for pointing out the basic fact that all settler colonial projects are genocidal www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/...

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

Well this is an exceptionally good history job. Wonders never cease. www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/list...

this being 5000x more insane than anything Jimmy Kimmel or anyone who's gotten fired has said agkdsl;hg;lkasdh

"This isn't the America I know." Black people:

The campaigns targeting Canadian doctors who want to discuss the health crisis in Gaza @brishti.bsky.social pressprogress.ca/campaigns-ta...

"Bill C-2 is not about safety; it is about normalizing surveillance, criminalizing migration, bypassing Parliament and public debate, and attacking Canadians' privacy and charter rights. It would undermine due process, and it is a power grab."

FOR THE FOLKS WONDERING WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: There is a direct ideological throughline between the "anti-CRT" movement/attacks on Black studies and the firing of Stephen Colbert and suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Not posting this to say "I told you so" but bc you must understand the storyline.

humanities are not a vaccine against fascism. they had historians and philosophers too.

You’re not antifa? So you’re fa(scist)?

Pay attention to the media organisations who will report on Trump declaring antifa - which does not exist - as a terrorist organisation without explicitly saying what antifa stands for every time. They’d have to report that Trump is effectively declaring anti-fascism as an enemy ideology.

Is there a clearer admission that your regime is fascist than by criminalizing anti-fascism?

Trump: Jimmy Kimmel is next Trump admin: We will definitely exploit this murder to censor our critics Carr: ABC must fire Jimmy Kimmel ABC, minutes later: We have suspended Jimmy Kimmel Anti-cancel culture crusader: I sure wish this clear business decision didn’t look so much like censorship!

The same people in Canada who constantly ask why we should care about what is going on abroad when it comes to mass atrocities and genocide are now screaming that we punish those who don't sufficiently glorify a foreign far-right political figure, the hypocrisy is insane

What a live genocide looks like

Israel said it launched an expanded ground assault on Gaza City on Tuesday in defiance of international condemnation, as Palestinians fled the enclave’s largest urban area in waves amid escalating bombardment.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

The leading, indispensable accomplice to this world historic evil will tomorrow be given all the honours of a state visit to the UK by one of the other key accomplices. I know that reads as somewhat polemical but it really is just a bald statement of fact.

The three most damning paras in the UN Report alleging that Israel is perpetrating genocide in Gaza: Siege starvation, attacks on health care, direct targeting of children as patterns that cannot be explained except if group destruction is one animating purpose.
