11. It’s not just that people are wasting their time. "Population concern” also distracts people from things we *can* change. And, in many cases, transfers blame for the huge consumption impacts of wealthy people to Black and Brown people in poorer nations. At worst it’s straight-up racism. 11/12

Hegseth going all in on the double tap doesn’t really disprove the argument that Israel is the West’s R&D division for war crimes.

This is particularly stunning because the sheer number of times we demonstrated Bjorn Lomborg was just flat-out lying grew so large that it almost became literally pointless to keep doing it, because he just ignores it and keeps on going

Confirmed ICE activity at World Marina Banquet Hall lot in Corona, Queens (4:17pm). A call is circulating for bikes, drivers for rapid response, with a belief that it is a staging area ahead of kidnappings.

Imho I don’t expect Mamdani to achieve much on his social democratic reform platform, but I think his election is a major boon for movements and will scramble the city’s role in the attempted consolidation of a national fascist regime

Big budget anti-Semitic propaganda, Veit Harlan's Jud Süß was released in late 1940 in Germany, followed by a roll-out meant to inflame population of Nazi-occupied nations. (It was also shown to concentration camp guards) Unlike Leni R, Harlan was charged w crimes against humanity after the WW2.

This article by @schooldaves.bsky.social provides an excellent rundown on the very grim constraints of the municipal bond market that Mamdani will face. Running a state under capitalism and trying to do anything besides serving capital is very, very hard. We have to get out altogether

To put this useless system into an even harsher perspective, here's what is required to power it: futurism.com/elon-musk-me...

"The New York Times is an accomplice to the genocide in Gaza... Times editors have told reporters to avoid 'inflammatory terms' like 'genocide,' 'ethnic cleansing,' and 'occupied territory' — and even to avoid saying 'Palestine.'"

Tear the whole thing down

Congrats to every useful idiot who praised Trump for what was never actually a peace deal. www.cnn.com/2025/10/19/w...

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through. No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened. But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this. Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

“I read through everything I wrote and I feel very disappointed. But what can I do. I wrote it. It’s there.” – Chantal Akerman

Glad Trump didn’t get the peace prize but Machado is a racist with ties to the European far right. This is shameful. Shame on the Nobel committee.

History remembers people like Itamar as moral titans.

The only positive thing about Tony Blair potentially becoming viceroy of Gaza is that it significantly increases the chances that he’ll be shot.

(Which I’ll follow up with personal pettiness: watters then brings on Taibbi to double down. I worked for Rolling Stone at same time. Taibbi was the star loved by left. Good at hitting, no doubt! But it was clear to many of us he was always a Westbrook Pegler, besotted by his own smirk.)

Israel wants all Palestinians gone - dead or alive, from the river to the sea. That’s their ambition. That’s their plan.

Reading the ultra wealthy complain about a French wealth tax proposal (“It’s collectivism, it’s communism . . . it’s a fundamental attack on my freedom and right to property.”) brings a little warmth and joy to my otherwise cold and sad heart.

The Israeli state is openly committed to removing the entire surviving Palestinian population from Gaza, which it has destroyed. With the West Bank, it plans to expand illegal settlements and make life for Palestinians there intolerable, until it can get rid of them all, too.

anti-anti-fascist feels like it should have a one-word synonym

This is totally true and my hot take is that im afraid that theories of impersonal domination or market dependency seem to be increasingly subsumed within this Polaynian marginalist framework

Writing prompt: (h/t @lowdudgeon.bsky.social)

Genocide deniers have been left with nowhere to go. A new UN report cements the overwhelming consensus that Israel is committing genocide. Genocide deniers should be treated as beyond the pale. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/un-leaves-...

«The individuals … said the removals were in line with President Donald Trump’s March executive order … National Park Service officials are broadly interpreting that directive to apply to information on racism, sexism, slavery, gay rights or persecution of Indigenous people.»

It increasingly appears that Trump is hoping to engineer a "Gulf of Tonkin" incident to justify an attack on Venezuela.

More than 200,000 people in Gaza — 10 percent of population — have been killed, says former Israeli Defense Force general

It was either fascism or higher taxes for rich people, so the answer was clear

Charlie Kirk was a racist, homophobic, transphobic, elitist Christian Nationalist who advocated for public executions that children should have to watch - including presumably the stoning of gays he advocated. Johnson, 2nd most recent Conservative UK PM, calls his views 'simple common sense'. Odious

Yikes. Horst Wessel redux?

Israel will not hesitate to bomb any sovereign country, break every international law, undermine all bonds of trust with a mediator to ensure that there is no peace, that the genocide continues, that its own hostages are given no chance. x.com/yanisvaroufa...
