ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Every time Israel violates international law and commits war crimes, the west says that Israel has a right to defend itself. This has become so lame, but it's a giant fuck you to any kind of equality among people, this is western supremacism.

It's a bit like kidnappers taking hostages from a highway, bringing them back to a house they've stolen then claiming that they're trespassing, wanting them to sign a confession they were trying to break in before releasing them.

The Sisi regime in Egypt is so heartless that it refuses to reunite a political prisoner, Alaa Abd El Fattah, with his heart-broken mother, Laila Soueif, both on hunger strike It is so cruel that it keeps tens of thousands of prisoners of conscience apart from their grieving families and loved ones

If you want to understand how and why RT does propaganda, you need not look further than BBC and often NY Times to understand that it's not such a remote concept. I've picked two highly revered publications only to show the extremity and simplicity of propagating lies and propaganda.

Germany suspects BDS to be an extremist secular movement this way: "the first of three central demands is an end to the occupation of “all Arab land”, which is to be understood here as a demand for an end to Israel's state existence" This means Germany recognizes Israel's land as all Arab land.
