Worth mentioning many Indigenous food systems RIGHT NOW are under threat, for as you may imagine, across the board bullshit reasons. settlers clearing the northwoods lakes of wild rice so they can fuckin jet ski coms to mind

If you're wondering why settlers didnt notice that the forests seemed tended, they did (describing it as like a park was common). Just instead of recognizing an advanced agriculture system they just assumed it meant god wanted them to colonize 🫠 like cave-men trying to work out what a cell phone is

Keep telling me it's just Netanyahu.

Also given the history of white dudes spotting a new piece of land and deciding they should get to name it — some of them were probably really nice, too!! — maybe we should consider the sense of legacy and continuity attached to that entitlement and history

Right now, all decisions about the moon 🌔 are being made by a small number of people from just a few countries, almost none of them democratically or semi-democratically selected Whatever they do today will reverberate for generations. So maybe a name isn’t a big deal. But what it signifies is. 🧪

The Artemis II flyby was not just a super cool jaunt around the moon! It was a test flight that’s part of a larger, extremely nationalist, plan to militarize and colonize the moon for AMERICAN interests It is NOT “For All Mankind“ And everyone who makes fun of someone who asks the question:

Does this post frame the issue in the ways that I’d like? Not especially. But it wouldn’t hurt Americans to interrogate the foundational belief that Americans get to make decisions about the solar system without democratic, global input and to situate the story in context: plans for moon dominance 🧪

What’s shitty about the discourse about this post both on Threads and here is that there are genuine concerns about colonialism with respect to the moon, including for example: www.cnn.com/2024/01/05/w... 🧪🌔🔭

Looks like they're trying to put a floor under how bad the relationship with Israel can get with "normal ally" instead of what it should be, which is sanctioned and diplomatically isolated till it comes relinquishes illegally occupied lands and pays reparations.

What party that could be an alternative to likud opposes the genocide? There isn't one. Likud's stance on the genocides in Gaza and Lebanon is overwhelmingly the same stance as the public, and 93% of Israelis support the war with Iran. This is not a problem that will go away with Netanyahu.

May Israel share this very fate in my lifetime.💥

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.

He is so horny to drop a nuke. This is the shit that scares me.

The world would be a safer place had Iran had nukes as long as Israel has had them. #fcktrmp #fcksrl

So piracy now. May the US navy touch ground in that Strait. And anywhere else.

the casualness with which trump mentions nuclear weapons now is fucking insane

"Nixon told Henry Kissinger, the national security advisor, that he was willing to use nuclear weapons in order to end the war." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

My heart to the workers setting fire to warehouses because they can't afford to live while working ridiculous hours. Sweatshops for poor people keeping them poor.

@Neartheelevators.com Smart to answer and immediately block.

PS: Weis nicht was an Keffiyeh in Buchenwald genau antisemitisch sein soll. In dem kurzen Interview mit @jcwagner.bsky.social werden jedenfalls keine Beispiele genannt.

Dieser Artikel ist sehr illustrativ was mediale Prioritäten angeht. Die Headline ist pro-Palästina vs Rechte, die verlinkte Sendung MDR artour hat ein sehr fragwürdiges Segment über "Kyufas [sic] in Buchenwald". Erst in der zweiten Hälfte lernt man, 'das eigentliche Problem sind Rechtsextreme'.

You see RFK as a freak you can compare to disabled people, but he's a normal white man who sees himself as a norm & wants to eliminate disabled people.

Does Lebanon have a right to exist?

According to the latest count from the Lebanese Ministry of Health, released this morning, since March 2, Israeli bombings in Lebanon have killed at least 2,020 people, including 165 children, 248 women, and 85 health workers, and injured more than 6,000. www.naharnet.com/stories/3194...

AWWW is Baby in a corner of his own making? Everybody cry a river for Ronen’s radical centrist hypocrisy pls

Ist es eine Zitrone mit Kopf? Nein, es ist eine Schafstelze! Dieser kleine dicke Kerl hat sich im Baum neben mir niedergeleassen und über 10 Minuten gesungen. 🪶

Lass mal berechtigte Kritik an Israel deligitimieren.

Die iranisch-israelische Autorin und Übersetzerin Orly Noy, gestern auf Facebook.

I hate to inform people but Palestinians aren’t perfect victims and some of them may even be annoying and running scripts because they were software engineers before they lost everything in a genocide

May they be the first to taste their own medicine.

lmao, this whole war is stupid and terrible and destructive and awful, but i am absolutely not above cackling at the misfortune of the petrostates and revel in their misery

Fuck Saudi Arabia. They are the allies we deserve and they deserve the way we treat them.

May happen to Israel what it does to its neighbours and Palestine. Manifold.

Israelisches Sprichwort: Nichts ist wie der Holocaust wenn wir und unsere Freunde es tun. Alles ist wie der Holocaust wenn es unsere Feinde tun. Niemand hat zur Entwertung des Holocaust mehr beigetragen als Israel und seine Cheerleader.

Does it? Israel is one of the few nations on earth that refuses to define its borders. It is expansionist in nature, and has relied on cleansing for its entire, relatively short existence. If you believe it has the right to exist, then the inevitable questions are where, and how?

This society can’t exist without ethnic cleansing. As such it should not exist.

What was done to apartheid South Africa but with more checks & balances. Dismantle the government, try everyone responsible for war crimes, rename & reform the country so everyone has equal rights from the river to the sea. And reparations for the Palestinians in the form of both land & property

Do I believe? It has nothing to do with belief. They are a self-declared ethnostate. A “homeland for the Jewish people” with the Star of David on their flag and unequal laws for the non-Jews who live inside the territory they seized in 1948. It is not a belief, it is a fact.

No, I’m sorry. To exist as an ethnostate, which is what they want when they say “Jewish state” means unequal rights, means apartheid, means ethnic cleansing. Absolutely unconscionable way to exist and we need to get comfortable saying it. Our region was known for religious pluralism before the nakba

Such massacres, going on 80 yrs, are the price of Israel’s “right to exist as a Jewish state.” So when you say “I believe in Israel’s right to exist” you’re saying you’re ok with the mass death required to secure that existence. Learn how to say, loud & unashamed: No, Israel has no right to exist

I think we should take whatever the amount of reconstruction costs Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza will need after this out of the US military budget until everything is fully rebuilt.

israel hat alles, was trump machen könnte schon gemacht, außer nukes, aber das liegt vermutlich nur daran, dass es aufgrund des engen raums und der nähe zu israel nicht geht.

das ist die warnung, sich nicht allzusehr im Abstrakten polit-talk zu verlieren: es geht nicht nur darum wie trump dasteht, sondern um echte menschen, die sterben oder nicht...

It does not matter if trump destroys a civilization?

Israel bombing a synagogue in Tehran won't surprise anyone that understands the virulent white supremacy propping up Israel's apartheid state. Look no further than how Ethiopian, Palestinian, and Arab Jews are treated. Of course Netanyahu would treat Iranian Jews with similar disdain and contempt.

[concerned centrist voice] It's well past time we had a frank discussion about antisemitism on the left

US-Israeli strikes destroy synagogue in Tehran, prompting outrage amid reports of 15 killed across Iran overnight.

same Overton Window-shattering tactic he’s always used: Even if worst doesn’t happen tonight - rhetorically he’s opened up possibility of the unimaginable, making lesser (but still horrible) actions seem moderate by comparison… all increasing likelihood that one day the worst really will happen

the levels of elite impunity we are seeing now and the levels of war crimes we are seeing now are two aspects of the same path of historical development. right now they see war as our problem (and their investment opportunity). it is world historically important that we make war their problem again

it seems silly to say out loud but we're all adults here. whatever the preoccupations of the CIA / KGB we know that none of Gandhi, Nkrumah, Fannie Lou Hamer, the Viet Cong, the Mau Mau, uMkhonto weSizwe, the various mujahideen, the IRA were fighting for the sake of making either the USA or USSR #1
