Charlie Kirk took most repugnant white Christian nationalist zealotry from places it festered in the odious margins & moved it to the Trumpian mainstream, becoming a millionaire who moved into a $4.75mn estate in the process. Speak ill of him. It is the truth. www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-spea...

The U.S. is talented at political amnesia. It kicks in virulently when someone odious dies. For someone so young, what an embarrassment of hatreds Charlie Kirk left us to excoriate him with. I will not whitewash the racist, sexist, bigot that he was. www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-spea...

"Ana", a CA Central Valley farm worker harvests tomatoes piece rate. She shares: The work is not easy. I need to fill and carry two 24lb buckets of tomatoes, rush with a bucket in each hand to where the trailer is and then hurry back into the field to harvest more. #WeFeedYou

Advocating for two state means a return to the status quo of apartheid. And if you’re denying Israel is an apartheid state in 2025, you’re either a propagandist, or in denial.

This. Advocating for a 2-state solution today, now, is the height of delusion and denial of Israel’s genocidal crimes. Fuck Israel and anyone who continues to support it.

Statement from the Prime Minister of Australia 🇦🇺 begins with “the situation in Gaza has gone beyond the world’s worst fears.”

"Irma" has been picking berries on CAs Central Coast for 20 years. "I work from 6:30 am - 4:30 pm Today I'm picking red raspberries. It's a special order for Japan. We have to be extremely careful to avoid bruising. It's harder, but we get paid the same amount." #WeFeedYou

“#UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.”

Outrageous and wholly unacceptable. I stand with @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social Greg Abbott and his regime cohorts will not silence the citizens of Texas.

“Under the Terrorism Act the friends face a maximum sentence of 14 yrs in prison… I just feel if I’m put in prison for this, and even if I die in prison for this, I can’t think of a better thing to die for really than for the justice of the people who’ve been persecuted now for almost my lifetime.”

“I entered into this collaboration in good faith, believing that the institution shared a commitment to presenting work that reflects the full, complex truth of American life. Unfortunately..the conditions no longer support the integrity of the work as conceived.’’ www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/a...

I saw the "Amy Sherald: American Sublime" exhibit earlier this year at the Whitney with @monaeltahawy.bsky.social. I'm sorry to hear it can't be shown at the National Portrait Gallery - because there's so much more to know and learn about this artist of our times.

Irish media has had quite a few.

Don't hold your breath... They're trying to make it illegal to use the word genocide to qualify what's happening in Gaza in here (France)... They're only pretending to give a shit sporadically for plausible deniability... But if it's a real question I think there was an opinion piece in the NYT...

Does anyone know of other calls for sanctions against Israel in “western” media?

"Outrage at Gaza's destruction is no longer enough." "Adding famine & thirst to violence, Israel's siege of the Palestinian enclave now demands responses proportionate to the scale of the ongoing carnage—sanctions, political, diplomatic, economic, cultural." www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

always fuck Bret Stephens. Like his colleagues Douthat, Dowd, Friedman and Brooks he hasn't had an original thought in decades.

We ran an article on this by an international expert in genocide back in January 2024. He was pretty clear about it then. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/world/g...

FFS, the Holocaust had survivors, it was still a goddamn genocide.

He’s ridiculous. His argument is that because the entire population isn’t dead it’s not a genocide? Srebrenica in 1995 was officially deemed a genocide when more than 8k Muslims were killed. The definition of genocide is more than the number of bodies.It’s also intent, which Israeli pols have stated

I do think social media exaggerates the level/amount of spread (thanks to the algo), but agreed in that we are seeing significant radicalization. According to a poll last year, four times as many Gen Z's have said they cut someone off over I/P than Gen X/Boomers. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

“I am from the “If they go low, I will fucking come for them” school of thought. I refuse to be polite or civil with anyone who does not acknowledge my full humanity. Profanity for me is political, not just personal. Profanity is politically important.” Fuck this article is great go fucking read it
