"And for all the concern about the First Amendment ... what about all the amendments that Charlie Kirk lost? Because Charlie Kirk has no amendments right now." - Kayleigh McEnany

Brett Kavanaugh really put his sweaty little hot dog fingers on the keyboard to do explicitly racist adjudication and *he didn’t even have to*

If you think I am like some fan of Qatar you are not fit to be on the internet without (another) adult’s supervision

Something to really underscore here: again, Qatar hosts the U.S. military’s CENTCOM. 1000s of U.S. troops are stationed there, Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world, Qatar hosts and works with every major western corporation and more—none of this protected Qatar from being bombed

(I share these things bc I don’t see anyone talking about things like this here) From Amal Saad on x:

In “a mockery of international law,” per one expert, Israel has bombed the residence of Hamas officials negotiating peace in Doha, Qatar.

🧵In the past week Israel has bombed: Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Tunisia, Yemen, and now Qatar. In Yemen the prime minister and multiple cabinet members were assassinated. In Qatar the Hamas negotiators who were called there by the US to review a ceasefire proposal were targeted. These are acts of

Went to a wedding and the fits were immaculate

@aywarhiannon.bsky.social on this week's @fivefourpod.bsky.social was so powerful. I have been thinking a lot about disability, grief, and action during fascism, and her words were a perfect way to start this week. We have power, otherwise they wouldn't be trying so hard to oppress us.

Did not realize how much I needed @aywarhiannon.bsky.social's absolute banger of a rant on the new @fivefourpod.bsky.social. Suck it up buttercups, and get yourself some dialectical materialism! History is contingent! We make our own but not in circumstances of our choosing.

Watch DC residents chase federal agents out of the Columbia Heights neighborhood. Meanwhile, we spotted FBI and Homeland Security agents appear to respond to… an alleged *fare evader.* @zeteo.com

“I have lived through pain in all its details…yet I have never hesitated to convey the truth.” Glory to the martyr Anas Al-Sharif.

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

me on a podcast

months later i still can't believe this is real

Amazon union organizer Chris Smalls has been severely beaten and faces ongoing mistreatment in Israeli detention. He is the only Black person who was on the Gaza freedom flotilla. Graphics: Gazafreedomflotilla ig

@shaabiranks.bsky.social, March 2024: "The aim of this strategy is to achieve by starvation what could not be achieved by military force." www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Chris Smalls announced hours before being kidnapped by the IOF that he would be going on hunger strike should they detain him and the rest of the Handala freedom flotilla crew (from his x account)

Amazon union organizer Chris Smalls was on the Gaza freedom flotilla which was just raided by Israeli forces.

BREAKING: Israeli Forces Intercept Gaza Aid Flotilla and Take 20 Crew Members Captive The ‘Handala’ is the third aid flotilla ship attacked in the last year, as Israel continues to starve 2 million Palestinians. — @premthakker.bsky.social reports. READ: zeteo.com/p/breaking-i...

The 'Handala' has been intercepted by the israeli occupation forces (26 July - 2241 EEST). Further details soon.

“I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.” The last journalists remaining in Gaza are near death from forced starvation. There is enough food at the border to feed the entire population for 3 months. This is genocide.

From "Refaat Writes Back" newsletter, here: refaatwritesback.beehiiv.com/p/if-i-must-...

Bret Stephens (and all the editors over there for that matter) has seen the same footage from Gaza that you and I have seen—skeletal babies and grown men collapsing from hunger and gaunt corpses. And he still writes that it’s not a genocide. And the NYT still publishes it.

The comments on Bret Stephens’ latest NYT column, “No, Israel Is Not Committing Genocide in Gaza,” are really something.

Bari’s key insight as an entrepreneur is that there is a bottomless demand for rich people to have their existing opinions sold back to them as forbidden knowledge

got my new merch in the mail yesterday

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

GAZA IS THE COMPASS. The People’s Conference for Palestine is back—bringing together organizers, students, cultural workers, and community members to strategize, strengthen, and grow the movement for Palestinian liberation. 🗓️ August 29–31 📍Detroit, Michigan peoplesconferenceforpalestine.org
