Palestinian exceptionalism - so blatant, so colonial, so unacceptable

We only have a trickle of information about what’s happening in the DHS camps. But every bit we do have points to gross violations of human rights on a massive scale.

The US is deliberately starving millions of people across the world including Cuba. This is a brilliant, enraging piece by Ruaridh Nicoll www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

The outrageous decision by Kier Starmer's government to unlawfully ban Palestine Action (while maintaining business as usual ties with genocidal Israel) - and immediately announcing plans to appeal today's High Court ruling - should be front and centre of calls for him to stand down.

The US is deliberately causing a humanitarian crisis in Cuba - just like in Gaza, which the US and Israel are using a laboratory for their most savage dystopian desires

This is among the most dystopian, barbaric criminal industries that we've seen... and it's not even big news globally

Please read our latest of the Maga donors at Uline and their reliance on Mexican labor. For the first time, one worker who was badly hurt on the job has spoken to us and told us his story (with @maanvisingh.bsky.social ) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

100% - the McSweeney/Starmer faction is closer to Reform than it is the traditional progressive left

Alberto Castañeda Mondragón was hospitalized with eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages. Officers claimed he ran into a wall, but medical staff doubted that account. n.pr/4bHoZDU

I used to see abusers everywhere I went, and for while I thought I'd lost it. Turns out I was right. Sexual abuse is pervasive and mostly orchestrated by men with power.

I started out as a mental health nurse which is when I learned that sexual abuse and trafficking of girls and women was the norm, not normal but scarily common and involved the most powerful men - judges, police, politicians, free masons, priests, teachers, fathers, brothers in our world.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

Two @HRW employees who make up the organization’s entire Israel and Palestine team are stepping down from their positions after leadership blocked a report that deems Israel’s denial of Palestinian refugees the right of return a “crime against humanity”. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

This is what profiteering from genocide looks like: US contractor sent Gaza plan to White House that would secure 300% profits www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

This is wild

Free them all Empty the torture camps Dismantle the state paramilitary forces

Israel has killed >500 Palestinians since the fake ceasefire began, and is responsible for many more who've died of hunger, cold, and disease. The war crimes continue apace.

The Trump #climate report attempting to overturn the ruling that greenhouse gases are pollutants was grossly scientifically inaccurate. Turns out it was also illegal. #climatechange www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/c...

This seems very bad

Please report on the arrest of Don Lemon and on the arrest of Georgia Fort. Those who are only reporting on the arrest of Don Lemon are not only missing the full story story, they are also adding profoundly to the risks and undermining the safety of independent women journalists everywhere.

Greed really does make people blind

Two years ago today Hind Rijab, aged 5, and her family were brutally assassinated by Israeli soldiers in tanks. We will never forgive nor forget these war crimes for which individual soldiers, army commanders, Benjamin Netanyahu and the State of Israel should face justice

The DHS paramilitaries will not stop assaulting, disappearing and killing civilians... this is not rogue or badly trained agents, this is the mission they have been assigned by the regime leaders.

Things the US and Israel have in common: ethnic cleansing; extrajudicial killings; forced disappearances; torture camps; illegal military invasion and occuaption of sovereign nations; total disregard of the rule of law; lies, lies and more lies.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

One fascist out, a whole regime to go

Like Israel, the US is now justifying the extrajudicial execution of healthcare workers by claiming they were terrorists

It would be unwise to explain the extrajudicial killings by ICE as the result of untrained or rogue agents. This is a massive, heavily armed paramilitary type force loyal to the president, which is carying out the regime's stated policies.

Two things to learn from this. 1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors. 2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

Israel and the US: thousands of ordinary people arbitarily detained, held without due process in inhumane conditions, subject to torture, neglect and death by state forces with no recourse to justice.

If ICE is emboldened to carry out extrajudicial killings of American citizens in broad daylight, imagine what's happening to the tens of thousands of people being held in makeshift detention camps across the US without cameras, attorneys and organizers

Big tech is at the heart of all the worst shit happening across the Planet

ICE has clearly been given the greenlight to carry out extrajudicial killings

This is what a right wing paramilitary dictatorship looks like

Extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances... the same terror tactics the School of America's Watch (SOAW) and Israel exported to right wing Latin American dictatorships
