Pétain tries to 'lower the temperature' at Allied internment camp

"Private security guards" (also known as "mercenaries") are now aiding state and federal forces in suppressing the anti-concentration-camp movement.

The concept of “free speech zones” and “first amendment zones” is fucking bonkers. So you mean the full constitution doesn’t apply outside of the little square y’all decided on? And we’re supposed to just comply with that?

There is a new, open access 🚨 📖 book tracing the global history of Zoroastrianism from antiquity (6th century BCE-7th century CE) to the Middle Ages—and then into modernity. My friend & top Manichaeism scholar @babelalexandria.bsky.social has a chapter as well. www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edi...

Someone remind me how electing more Democrats is going to save us

Cops on massive horses were just up close in the crowd outside Delaney Hall. Unhinged.

Also the West Bank and oh right they're still in Syria too

It is not possible. As long as there is the threat of Israel, it is not possible. If countries were serious about wanting to disarm Hezbollah they’d tackle the genocidal elephant in the room.

Sanders really going all-in on "we can't get rid of apartheid because that would be the end of Israel"

Things are escalating quickly for our friends in Gaza, including Hammam. I‘m going to include his fundraiser, but just reaching out to those you know in Gaza and spreading info about what they are experiencing is a huge help: chuffed.org/project/1580...

And "ordered to leave" here is under threat of bombardment. These so-called 'evacuation orders' are purely to give western media a way to absolve Israel when they later kill civilians. Civilians *do not* have a legal obligation to leave, but combatants *do* have an obligation to avoid harming them.

"We shoehorned AI into every search engine but now users want it to answer simple questions" Incredible

The occupation destroyed a food warehouse during what no INGO is calling a famine despite it being a famine, and you’re still dunking on zionists or arguing about Molly. Here’s video of the warehouse today. There’s nothing left. x.com/dn_osama_rab...

Anyone can dream up a fantasy in which those Israelis who want Netanyahu out also oppose his war crimes. bsky.app/profile/rk70...

Great discussion on the relationships between Orientalism and modern imperialism. “If consumerism and sexualisation are framed as freedom, then women who cover, who symbolise modesty or spirituality outwardly, become threatening to that system.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=CflH...

CW: extreme bodily injury and death of children. Seriously, do not scroll down this thread. It's the kind that will stick with you forever.

I will remind you that of the two, Israel and the PLO, only one of them formally accepts UNSCR 242, recognizes the other's right to statehood, and and endorses the two state solution and it is not Israel :)

She died before they found her the next day. Orders came from the United States, apparently.

"She never spoke. But they could hear her breathing. For 12 hours, Rania lay there alone beneath broken concrete, stones, darkness, dust & fear. Most likely injured. Listening to voices above her, knowing people were trying to reach her but were being prevented from continuing."

MIT (endowment: $27B) shuttering three of its four main libraries is one of those news items that just knocks you off balance, auguring, as it does, profound and permanent changes to the entire institutional apparatus of higher education in this country.

I'm so tired y'all. And it's still nothing compared to the people of Lebanon.

26 years ago, residents of South Lebanon poured into the streets as Israeli forces withdrew, putting an end to 22 years of Israeli occupation. Today, those same villages lie in rubble, and the occupation is back. mondoweiss.net/2026/05/on-l...

Israel is currently invading central Lebanon, well beyond the their illegally occupied 'forward defense zone', which they already expanded after the so-called 'ceasefire'. Hezbollah is resisting the invasion. The Lebanese government's military, which is armed primarily by the US and France, is not.

AI makes a lot more sense economically if you look at it as a real estate scam with a side of stock market fraud.

Israelis in Jaffa have torn down posters commemorating Palestinian children killed in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. There have been numerous incidents of Israelis targeting Palestinian expressions across Jaffa as incursions into Gaza and settler violence towards Palestinians in the West Bank continues

People will be running from the shame of supporting this the rest of their lives.

"We asked a predictive text program how to fight a war. The results matched the average of all the things humans have ever written about war, because that's how the program works"

Israel bombed Lebanon over 40 times today and issued new threats to civilians in 6 Lebanese towns, ordering them to flee or be killed. This happens nearly every day.

"Self defense strikes" is a fun euphemism for attacking someone

"Look what you made me do"

Do you think Civil Rights activists who put themselves before firehoses & got ripped to shreds by police dogs sought harm upon themselves as performance? Harm to themselves was part of the risk for their larger goals. Have you ever been beat or raped? I have. No human being choses it for status.

1/2 Margaret Connolly, sister of Irish President Catherine Connolly. This week the Dàil voted AGAINST sanctioning Israel

There are about 400 eyewitnesses and the perpetrators posted a video bragging about their crimes so maybe the BBC could try a little harder

Harry Burton cartoon in today's Irish Examiner, speaks for itself. #SanctionsNow

Basque police beat up members of the Global Sumud Flotilla upon their return to Spain

Israel is still bombing Lebanon, still bombing Gaza, not that you would know because this app is really western centric

No ban on working with Conservatives or Reform though. Starting to miss the pre-Labour days when trans people could still go out in public and anti-genocide protestors weren't imprisoned as terrorists.

Despite ICJ genocide warnings, 51 nations kept arming Israel, even after pledging to halt support https://aje.news/hsk76r

"Over the almost four days Mr Watson was incarcerated, he was subjected to beatings, stun grenades being thrown at him, a barrel of gun pointed at his back, repeated verbal abuse, psychological abuse, lack of food and water, and was repeatedly punched in the ribs." (he has a broken rib btw)

Physical beating, broken bones, sexual assault, tasers to the face, forced drug injections, threat of drowning(?). It's gonna be easier to list what they didn't do.

Cw: rape So Israel kidnapped flotilla activists in international waters, raped them, shot them, broke their bones. And the governments of the world let them.

I've been reading this book and it is absolutely WILD how wrong people are to try and back-project modern dynamics onto the premodern Middle East in an attempt to frame the process of Islamisation as an instance of settler colonialism. Warning: this will involve a lot of fiscal adminstration!

Sanctions have been the moderate position for years.
