My latest in Counterpunch exposes how Empire sends its own victims flowers and then sends the invoice to communities, while cashing in on empathy The same moral supply chain runs through sport, humanitarianism,war,big pharma Because the wreckage isn't a flaw- it's the POINT #morallaundering

Empire's Favorite Laundry Detergent is Feminism 👈🏽 My latest piece in Counterpunch media unpack it From Melinda Gates to María Corina Machado to Meghan Markle ... "Goodness” has been privatized #morallandering#empire#decolonize#justicenotoptics#feminism

Empire learned it’s cheaper to manage optics than armies. Gaza’s “peace deal” isn’t liberation :it’s administration with better PR My latest in @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social :The Peace Industry #gaza#empirerebrands#decolonizeeverything#morallaundering#justice

Ceasefire headlines=empire rebranding itself as peace & outsourcing the occupation Banning Palestinian factions from politics, replaces Israeli troops with a U.S. -Arab “stabilization force”,“special economic zone” for investors to rebuild Recolonization packaged as reconstruction #freepalestine

Recognition without redistribution is theater : a desperate attempt to get on the “right side of history” without ever surrendering the spoils of empire The settler colonial bloc didn’t suddenly discover Palestine. They discovered their own weakness #freepalestine#gaza#gazagenocide#moraltheatre

Taqat’s work speaks for itself ...happy to see my piece in Counterpunch is circulating

Resilience is empire’s favorite word. Refusal is Gaza’s TAQAT built 3 incubators in Gaza under siege... sustaining freelancers, training teenagers, building a future empire wants erased This isn’t inspiration. It’s insurrection. My latest in @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social #gaza#palestine

You can't make empire sound like care #decolonizeeverything #morallaundering

My latest CounterPunch exposé: The Gates Foundation is launching its “world-first” 8-year IUD in Kenya. It’s power disguised as charity. Colonial population control wrapped in feminist branding. Who decides whose futures get to grow? #Philanthrocapitalism#ReproductiveJustice #Decolonize#africa

Injustice loves a shortcut Statehood for Palestine without ending occupation is moral laundering optics over liberation As Noura Erakat & Shahd Hammouri make clear in their recent piece it's a performance Once you see the shortcut, you can’t call it justice. #MoralLaundering #Palestine#gaza

Gates’ new 8-year IUD launches in Kenya, not Seattle or London That’s philanthrocapitalism: risk on African women, rewards to billionaires Until racialized women set the research agenda this will be about control not choice #MoralLaundering #Philanthrocapitalism #GlobalHealth#decolonizeeverything

My latest in Counterpunch If we can’t name the structure,we can’t dismantle it. We don’t need curated resistance. We need a redistribution of epistemic power We deserve better #degrowth#racialcapitalism#gaza#climatejustice#sustainability

Whiteness doesn’t just extract :it curates critique, defines the radical, controls who gets to speak A major inequality project critiques empire...without naming the structure that underwrites it: whiteness. Link to my piece in next post #Degrowth#RacialCapitalism #EpistemicViolence #Gaza#racism

Suresh Naidu, a Columbia University economist delivers a masterclass in dismantling power from inside the machine @nytimes.com This is using tenure as it’s meant to be used A must read that gives a blueprint & detonates the illusion that elite institutions will save us #Gaza#genocide#resistance

From a war zone,they built three business incubators Despite genocide, siege, isolation, young Palestinians created Taqat: a co-working hub now supporting 700+ freelancers in Gaza This isn’t “resilience” it’s resistance : survival through dignity & defiance 👉🏽 taqat-gaza.com #genocide#gaza

Billionaires are claiming space while the planet burns. This isn’t progress , it’s empire in orbit. My piece in The Tyee pulls the curtain back. Because who controls space controls the future #BillionaireColonialism #DecolonizeTheFuture #SpaceIsPolitical #TheTyee#techforwhom

Thanks@Degrowth Collective 4 sharing my article When billionaires fund the revolution, the outcome is already fixed This piece is about how empire, wealth and whiteness repackage domination as virtue whether in climate justice, DEI or philanthropy #degrowth#morallaundering#empirerebrands#truth

Jason Hickel’s Project is powerful but fails to name whiteness as the structure behind global extraction. A white scholar is positioned as the voice on global suffering & whiteness curates critique by repackaging anti-colonial ideas for Western legibility. This is not power redistributed #Degrowth

BCG didn’t contaminate humanitarianism- it revealed its design It lent its tools to genocide, 700+ Palestinians died trying to eat. UNICEF, WHO, WFP, IRC still won’t cut ties Because BCG didn’t hijack the sector...it exemplifies it. This isn’t a scandal, it’s a structural reveal #empire#gaza

Albanese didn’t just condemn Israeli violence,she mapped the infrastructure of profit behind it. How weapons companies, surveillance tech firms, construction contractors, banks etc profit from it She reframed genocide not as a tragic event but a revenue stream protected by global capital #gaza

Once genocide is understood not as a outlier in an otherwise legitimate order but as a FUNCTIONING ECONOMY, divestment becomes inevitable & complicity is traceable So empire is doing a full frontal.The sanctions on Albanese are about criminalizing the act of tracing profit via genocide #genocide

You can’t stand with Palestine while clinging to whiteness Gaza is not a "cause" but part of a global racial control system Liberation isn’t optics. It’s dismantling the systems that protect you If your solidarity doesn't target the system,it protects it ...and that's just performance #gaza

The U.S. sanctioning Francesca Albanese is what empire does when it loses narrative control: It punishes those who speak the truth This is imperial panic and how empire defends itself It’s a confession and tells us exactly who’s afraid. #genocide#gaza #Decolonizeeverything #morallaundering

Rutger Bregman compared October 7 to “twelve 9/11s” & Palestinian deaths to “2,500 9/11s.” This isn’t radical, It’s moral laundering 9/11 racialized Muslims globally and expanded empire’s war machine. That’s the frame he wants to borrow? #freepalestine#morallaundering#gaza#genocide#moralambition

BBC SILENCES THE GENOCIDE WHILE BCG MAPS OUT THE PROFITS This is full spectrum colonial control of perception, land,memory & future. Genocide isn't a comms challenge & colonialism isn't a design brief May entire industries awaken that they are not bystanders but part of the architecture #gaza

Moral laundering is the new ESG, it’s empire with better PR Fossil fuel giants sponsor climate summits, weapons manufacturers fund research & Palestine Action gets labeled a terrorist group for disrupting the system they bankroll Empire power laundering its image #MoralLaundering #PalestineAction

This isn't about a brown man gaining power but about about someone refusing to perform identity for power and using that refusal to expose and confront the system itself This isn't hope. This is what we fought to make possible... earned through courage and clarity @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

For all of us who eschew the liberal representation politics of I'm brown in this elite space - be inspired"... Zohran's win is our collective message which is: "I’m here because global systems of violence & economic injustice shaped my life and I’m here to dismantle them with you" #disrupt

Chanting at festivals won’t shake empire, disrupting its profits will We interrupt by refusing its narratives, withdrawing our labor, blocking its flow. It’s power analysis (not purity) to ask what happens after festivals chants? Chanting names the harm but interruption makes it stop #gaza

Amazon now sells "Hands Off Public Lands" Tees "Down with empire! ... in 3-5 business day & just as soon as your Prime Order arrives" Nothing says resistance like a mass produced protest T shipped by the empire you are supposedly resisting Moral laundering: tumble dry low #morallaundering

How empire protects itself in 2025 : Weddings for billionaires & terror charges for the resisters Bezos floats a $50M spectacle in a drowning city while Palestine Action faces prison for spray painting warplanes One launders empire in couture,the other exposes it and gets caged. #morallaundering

If you still think Rutger Bregman and his School for Moral Ambition is a good thing , check out Tim Schwab's report from following the money. Bregman blocked Schwab as well while calling him unethical. The pattern is impossible to miss : block & smear anyone who points out the rot under SMA

Bregman uses his CNN platform to say " activists" do nothing but that elites are our best hope for the future #SMAexposed#morallaundering#moralambition

👇🏿Author of this 👉🏿 piece www.counterpunch.org/2025/05/18/h... about Bregman and his SMA and she made my day 👏🌎💪

This is capitalism panicking @patagonia.com campaign claiming to fight billionaire power is moral laundering in a recycled fleece Pata IS billionaire power. Telling us to call Congress re: public land loss (while ignoring it's stolen land) but not to stop funding genocide in Gaza #morallaundering

Rutger Bregman blocked me on another platform ( even though I never followed him) for saying what his @cnn.com interview tried to erase: that Black liberation didn’t fail...it was buried by people like him. #smaexposed#bregman #morallaundering #elitecapture#schoolformoralambition#empirerebrands

In Greta's powerful message to the world today there are two important underlying themes : 1) Ppl who say little amid a genocide are the systems insurance policy 2)Oppression thrives not only because of those who enforce it but because of the millions who quietly adjust to it #gazagenocide#gaza

Rutger Bregman went on CNN to say that Black Liberation "didn't work" but that his Trump aligned billionaire funded foundation is the real hope for justice You can't make this stuff up www.cnn.com/2025/06/14/u... Moral laundering is replacing liberation with leaders who answer to billionaires

Silence wasn’t hesitation. It was strategy to stay in good standing Those same voices reappear claiming moral clarity It’s historical laundering South Africa. Vietnam.Standing Rock. Gaza This is how empire rewrites resistance: replacing those who risked everything with those who risk nothing

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t generosity. It’s a tax-subsidized system of influence that lets the ultra-wealthy privatize public priorities while avoiding accountability #elitecapture#morallaundering#philanthrocapitalism

"Profit for Good" is not justice. It's moral laundering. Capitalism rebranded Donating 100% of profits sounds virtuous but it’s a sleight of hand. Changes nothing about ownership, power or challenge how profits were generated /why public systems are so underfunded #SMAexposed #morallaundering

U DON'T GET TO SPEAK ON GAZA WITHOUT OWNING UR SILENCE We hear "Welcome everyone for Gaza’s sake.” Not without accountability Silence was not neutral It was alignment with empire. Justice needs truth We are in the long fight. We know who stood We will not launder silence into virtue #gaza

Our job isn't to make justice more palatable.. it's to make liberation irresistible #gaza#elitecapture#morallaundering#empire

NO ISRAEL DID NOT "DETAIN" GRETA THUNBERG. IT KIDNAPPED HER AND THIS IS COLONIAL PIRACY The pushback has already started — is that the right word? Is it " intercepted" ?Is it “detained”? No, this is a kidnapping.This is colonial piracy :the logic of empire, enacted on the sea. #morallaundering

If your main concern during an ongoing genocide is how gently we welcome the latecomers — you’ve lost the plot. It was their silence that helped enable this atrocity in the first place The dead can’t hear apologies #GazaGenocide #SilenceIsComplicity #NoJusticeNoPeace #AccountabilityNow

CBS Survivor recently reached out to cast me on their 2026 season, filmed in Fiji next spring. Dressing up settler violence as entertainment ...strangers ‘claiming’ land & erasing its people , domination, betrayal, conquest is how genocide gets normalized. Some of us won’t play that game #gaza

Once Greta traced the systemic link between imperial violence and climate collapse, her hero status became untenable to the very powers she had exposed ‘The World’s Silence Is Deadly’: Greta Thunberg’s Message Aboard Freedom Flotilla zeteo.com/p/the-worlds...

Rutger Bregman says he donates all his book proceeds— to a nonprofit he founded, runs, uses to promote himself That nonprofit then lures wealthy donors with a tax calculator: “Donate €1M,save €350K” It's auditioning for power-not dismantling it Tim's piece on RB is a MUST READ #SMAexposed

#RutgerBregman went all over social media writing that I am " reminiscent of the worst excesses of cancel culture" after my expose on his foundation came out Rutger: builds a school about morality Also Rutger: panics when someone applies moral reasoning to his work #smaexposed
