We know more about the massive military-style raid on a Chicago housing complex thanks to the reporting of @southsideweekly.bsky.social, @blockclubchi.bsky.social, and neighborhood resident Eboni Watson who chronicled the event. Among the emerging questions: what's real estate's role in this?

southsideweekly.com/federal-agen... The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

This is so important. and beautifully written. substack.com/@luciddialec...

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

@iris-meredith.bsky.social I found your essay from a repost by @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social and it was great, thanks! However I must have read your "working definition" of wank a dozen times and I just can't parse it. Please tell me there's a typo or a missing word so I know I'm not crazy.

Rabbi Elhanan Beck, of Palestinian born, advocates for the return of all occupied lands to Palestinians, the establishment of a FREE PALESTINE, and calls for the elimination of the racist and genocidal Zionist Israeli project! (Credit: Jewish Voice)

People constantly forget there is an entire population of actual jews who want their home back. Palestine. 🇵🇸 #FreePalestine

New episode of Occupied Tech with guest Eric Sype from @7amleh.bsky.social. We discuss Big Tech complicity, how Meta's censorship works, and the digital siege of Palestine www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6EF...

“I really hate to say this, and I wish I didn’t have to, but I’m 56 years old and for the first time in my life I’m extremely uncomfortable around Jewish people, or people who I think might be Jewish.” open.substack.com/pub/webzetet...

A few thoughts about the coming wave of epiphanies from supporters of Israel, and how they will try to whitewash their prior complicity and refusal to condemn the genocide. webzetetic.substack.com/p/it-was-alw...

As social media companies continue to censor their users for standing up for Palestinian rights, Palestinian app developers have taken matters into their own hands with a new platform called Upscrolled.

“What I’ve had to come to terms with is that some people not only *don’t care* about the suffering of others, they *revel* in it.” — @abbymartin.bsky.social

It is insane that some are still talking about the casualties on October 7, when in *just the past four months* (since breaking the ceasefire), Israel has killed nearly 6x as many Palestinians as died on that day.

“You’re involved emotionally, but that’s it. What have you done? You’ve done nothing. Largely you don’t want to do anything. If you did, you wouldn’t have to have somebody tell you what to do.” --Hayward Wilson of CORE, speaking to a room of white wanna-be integrationists in Dearborn, MI, 1968.

NPR's Gaza producer faced Israeli military fire, private U.S. contractors pointing laser beams at his forehead and masked thieves as he tried to get food from a U.S.-supported group. By Anas Baba

I've been "chronically online" since 1994, when I connected to the fledgling Internet using my friend's Mac Se30 and a 2400 baud modem to play Genesis MUD and read USENET. I started a vBulletin discussion forum the same year Zuck started Facebook, and I still have a Yahoo! email address...

#UpScrolled was built by a Palestinian-Australian developer and it's being supported/promoted by @techforpalestine.org. It is remarkably usable for a very young app, but rest assured a lot more features and functionality are coming. To learn more about the company see upscrolled.com/about

The gap between the bloodsoaked Jihadi vampire Zohran Mamdani I am reading about from even somewhat mainstream press/politicians and the regular-ass Zohran Mamdani I met like two months ago and chopped it up about 2018-era Onion headlines could not be cleared by Evel Kneivel.

We have a new thing coming - follow me on Upscrolled (in beta) share.upscrolled.com/en/user/bd91...

Republicans are now suddenly planning to TAX renewable energy, transforming the repeal of the IRA from a challenge to a full-blown crisis for American solar and wind. I spent the last 24 hours putting this story together to explain why. Please share! This is really important!!! @heatmap.news

If you advocate for the rights of Palestinians but not LGBTQ people, or for LGBTQ people but not Palestinians, we are not in the same fight. I will die on this hill.

My latest post is about how Israel and western media more broadly use the term "Israeli Arabs" to delegitimize Palestinian citizens of Israel. Please read and share, it's free! webzetetic.substack.com/p/on-israeli...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. RFK Jr. has the power to kill more Americans than any other individual Cabinet member. There are zero checks on his power. Zero.

@mattpolprof.bsky.social silly question from a social media rando who just finished reading your (great) book on Cosmopolitan Socialism. I see you have a new book called "Liberal Socialism" which I plan to get, but I wonder if the latter marks a move away from CS or if it's a continuation of ideas.

Israel is quickly trying to normalize a new and unimaginable form of depravity: mass-murdering aid-seekers. Al Jazeera reports at least 31 more people were killed and 200 injured by IDF drones and tanks this morning. Do not become numb to this atrocity. aje.io/535re2

Imagine claiming without evidence that the real target of the shooting in Washington was Israeli soldiers in the museum, and those two embassy workers were being used as human shields.

Even if you haven't been paying any attention to Gaza for the past 18 months (or 77 years) you can learn a lot from the powerful speech in this relatively short video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAjm...

Even Once Reluctant Scholars Now Agree on Israel's Gaza Assault: It's a Genocide www.commondreams.org/news/israel-...

This is a really great book, and super important at this point in time. I've been in tech >20 yrs and at various times seduced (to varying degrees) by the ideas in Effective Altruism, the Singularity, LongTermism, AGI, etc. but I always sensed there were missing links in many of the claims.

We speak to investigative reporter Katie J.M. Baker about "Project Esther," The Heritage Foundation's blueprint to crush the pro-Palestinian movement in the United States.

Here's what's happening, as far as I can tell. 🧵 -The US agreed with Hamas to release Edan Alexander in exchange for lifting the siege on Gaza. -Edan was released, but Trump betrayed his promise. Israel continues to starve Gazans.

Would love to see @majorityreport.bsky.social interview @adambecker.bsky.social about MoreEverythingForever.com

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

One of the first projects that came out of T4P was this Palestine Profile Pic Maker. It's super easy to use and makes it easy to show support across your socials. ppm.techforpalestine.org

We’re sharing below clips of journalist Hossam Shabat, whom Israel assassinated in northern Gaza earlier today. He was a role model to Gaza’s children, especially those aspiring to become reporters. Video from @ GazaMartyrs

Just wait until Donald Trump finds out someone is misusing the justice department to go after their political opponents! newrepublic.com/post/191630/...

I have been writing about Palestine on Substack for over a year now. Here is one of the posts that got a few likes. Please subscribe (it's free!) if you want an email whenever I post something new, which is usually about 2x/month. webzetetic.substack.com/p/palestine-...

I spent 2024 advocating for a free Palestine, so I decided to write up an outline of what I did in hopes that it might inspire and inform anyone else who wants to get into advocacy. open.substack.com/pub/webzetet...

Now this, this is looting. Ain’t nobody gonna be arrested for it either.

Perfect answer to the question of whether Israel has a “right to exist”. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYEL88ph/

Tim Walz just capped prescription copays for Minnesotans at $25. In case Donold wants suggestions for his “concepts of a plan.”

I joined the Army when I was 18 because I was broke and desperate, and I thought it would teach me discipline and provide money for college. What I actually learned, above all else, was that stories like this one are features of the system, not bugs.

More than a thousand protesters marched in San Francisco’s Union Square, demanding the immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who was recently abducted by the Israeli occupation forces. You can sign Drop Site’s petition calling for his release below.

@zeteo.com Will there be more "Unshocked" with @naomiaklein.bsky.social ? That was one of my favorite segments.

Here’s a quick roundup of highlights from research we published in 2024, on unequal exchange, ecosocialism, and post-capitalist transformation. As always, free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵
