Merry Crustmas ❤️🤍❤️🤍 red and white crustaceans are always a treat to the eyes!

It's Christmas. Tomorrow there will be mass discounts on Christmas goods at toy stores, and other retailers like Walmart. Be nice to retail staff and respect picket lines at Starbucks and Amazon. People will also post listings for brand-new, unwanted gifts on Facebook Marketplace.

chip in, or help spread the word? it all adds up!

The Kurdish movement in North and East Syria is facing existential threats from Turkey following the fall of Assad.

“The Rojava revolution in North East Syria can be a blue print for a new dawn, not just for Syria but for all middle east, even for the whole world. We are ready to fight for that, ready to be a drop in the storm that is coming. Make sure you are too!” ~ Têkoşîna Anarşîst

Some people: it is offensive to compare Israel to the Nazis IDF soldier taking part in the Gaza genocide: “I felt like a Nazi. It looked exactly like we were the Nazis and they were the Jews.” In an Israeli paper by an Israeli interviewing Israelis. archive.is/2024.12.23-1...

NEW: Bashar al-Assad might have wanted his fall to precipitate chaos, but in Syria’s capital, order prevails and life is improving. Sami Moubayed gives a firsthand account of a moment of transition in Damascus, for @newlinesmag. newlinesmag.com/reportage/a-...

‘Tiny broken bodies, rotting babies, flattened corpses, mass graves, levelled neighbourhoods. It is a spectacle of slaughter. All unfolding in plain sight, livestreamed and posted by Palestinian citizens and journalists, witnessed by outsiders, and described by Israelis themselves.’

MAGA are now in the "It won't be a war, it will be a special military operation" phase of imperialist denial.

To everyone Pro-palestinian!!! I need your urgent help. I feel my account has been low reach!! and the reach has dropped significantly! No one can see my posts ! Tell sth to @Support !! What is going on! Please retweet, share, and leave a comment, even a dot.🫂🇵🇸 gofund.me/a625d5ba

Re: decisions to remove the terrorist label for HTS, see how the narrative either was or is and always will be a farce. So reconsider the PKK, looks like it's based on the NATO member state that wants genocide over Kurds insisting on the term...

I don't trust people with this miserable judgement against animals and gift-giving as "wank" to know how to humanize others or have critical thinking skills required to stop genocides, or foster social solidarity for humans...

If you have the means, it's never a bad time to browse this feed for Palestinians to support. A lot of these campaigns are people supporting entire families, including elderly parents and young children, and some haven't even reached single digit funding targets. Every little bit helps!

Today I sent Lena more than $600 USD to buy her laptop so she can register for her next term. I'm not sure people realize how much it means to have a lifeline on a future vs only the prospect of daily survival. Thank you all so much for making this happen. gofund.me/5a69a17f

An important statement , lots of people speak on behalf of the Rohingya rather than listening to them

Turkish/Bosnian coffee. A morning must. Listen to the latest episode of Diasporas Speaking where together with Irina Janakievska we explore Balkan Cuisine linktr.ee/diasporaspea... #Kosovo #Albania #Bosnia #NorthMacedonia #Serbia #Greece #Croatia #Slovenia #Montenegro #Romania #Bulgaria #Balkans

Following the My Lai Massacre, an American GI similarly described it as "a Nazi kind of thing." When even perpetrators can only make sense of their actions by comparing them to the Nazis, we have a real problem with the way we frame and explain atrocities - in the past as much as the present...

Reporting back: I highly recommend @kimatiwagner.bsky.social's Massacre in the Clouds, on a 1906 atrocity committed by the US army in the southern Philippines and its broader significance, with themes that are only too relevant today. Bourdieu: Une enquête algérienne was also very good.

Imagine for a moment that this was your child or brother.

IMPORTANT: The Magdeburg Christmas market attack could have been prevented if German authorities had responded to the Saudi woman who made numerous attempts to inform them that the attacker, an ex-Muslim extremist and stanch AfD supporter, had pledged to kill innocent Germans.

It is my humble opinion that we ostracize Western Assadists from "the Left" like we would ones praising Pol Pot or Hitler. And first and foremost those currently/still being platformed for Palestine "solidarity."
