If you’ve never felt shame for your lack of rage as an entire people were exterminated before your eyes, unmoved to share and amplify their plight to force governments to stop gunning them down with your tax dollars, now is the time.

I commend you if you’ve managed to stay a sane, empathetic human being who cares about this world beyond ego and selfish pleasures, lending your voice to those struggling beyond your comprehension, even at the risk of your own prospects. Read more --

Why are student protests in Serbia so significant? Because these students are not affiliated with any political party. They are self-organized through student committees, without leaders, making them the most democratic and progressive self-organized movement—and a threat to any corrupt government.

My case study of the resistance. It’s my War and Peace, my Crime and Punishment — I started drafting this piece in October of last year, and it might be the most important piece I’ve ever written.

Can we take a moment to recognize just how much the resistance has accomplished, both militarily and politically — fighting not only their most brutal, depraved occupier but also the collective Western superpowers?

These people need this. They need this win. It’s essential. The very essence of morality and justice for the entire world rests in Gaza.

... And I ask myself, what more needs to happen for us to stop politely asking the ruling class to end this destruction carried out solely to enrich further a few who are already obscenely wealthy? 2/2

Someone posted how climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you’re the one filming it ... 1/2

Whodunit? The wind? Please. Know thy enemy. This is not a comparison. It’s the continuation. Pretty Villages burn beautifully while those who rule us line their pockets. And they don’t care if Palestine or Palisades burn. www.antagolist.com/p/palestine-...

That feeling you have today, one we all share, that gut-wrenching nausea looking at the world around us — is the new you being born. No longer consumed by myths about the people around you, or the world in general. You get it now. Be that new you in 2025!

This is where I regained my hope and renewed my pursuit of humanity in a deprived and unjust world. I realized that while I may not have the power to end unkindness, injustice, propaganda, and lies on a global scale, I do have the power to disrupt these within myself.

You have to be an anomaly in this messed-up world, full of lies, deception, violence, and gaslighting us into oblivion. You have to be the link in the chain that breaks this propaganda-induced coma.

The answer is by being the representation of what you want to see in the world, regardless of not seeing it. By being a constant reminder of radical truth and speaking it out within the system, regardless of who hears you.

The only way I see us moving forward is by being authentic to the core—by representing an absolute truth within ourselves. How do we find the motivation to move forward? How do we pick ourselves up from the disappointment of what this world has become? How do we overcome all this hopelessness?

My most emotional, personal piece this year.

"Let us remember that according to Jesus, it is the meek, not the powerful, who inherit the land. In our pain and oppression, we might feel that death has the final word, that Herod is sovereign. But through the eyes of faith, we see that God has the final word.”

"Every Herod will pass, every Caesar will fade, for Empires have an expiry date.⁠”

This is a Christmas Story.

Dave Matthews: "If every human rights org in the world, Oxfam, Amnesty International, UN, Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, say there's a genocide happening in Gaza; why is our government more outraged by the use of the word genocide then the possibility on the one being committed?"

Israel’s relentless pursuit of taking Palestinian land, culture, and lives in self-defense; alongside the US—left us all with the thankless job of witnessing the stark contrast between America’s self-image and the way it treats the rest of the world—as a playground for plunder and exploitation.

"The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters." My new piece on the latest Ireland — Israel breakup.

Important watch.

Every single crime of the empire is dependant on the collective labour of the workforce that powers it — both the domestic working class and the exploited workers in subservient nations. Withholding that labour grinds the gears of the empire to an immediate halt.

“The deck is stacked so heavily against truth, peace, and justice.”

This has to be the greatest piece of writing I’ve ever read.

Anyone who hasn't said a word for 14 months during an ongoing genocide has no right to share their opinion on anything ever again—you do not care about the basic human right: the safety of not being murdered en masse and having your children shredded to bits. Your opinion on anything has zero value.

It’s all so blatant, so obvious. It’s all so venal and grubby. It’s all so mean of spirit. That we’ve let ourselves become so small as people, satisfied with daily scraps of emptiness, thrown to us by evil empty men, to whom we’ve given-in return-the unholy power of life and death. It’s all so grim.

Buddy, America is like a person no one wants and everyone despises, yet it keeps forcing itself on others. Your delusions know no bounds. Just drop from the radar already.

Identified at Starbucks, caught at McDonald’s; if this isn’t a universal sign of the moral obligation of the BDS, then I don’t know what is

This is huge! The nativity scene is the most powerful stance The Pope could have made during the ongoing genocide at the site of Jesus’ birth. Vatican’s Paul VI Hall unveiled a Nativity scene meticulously crafted by Palestinian artisans from Bethlehem, Johny Andonia, and Faten Nastas Mitwasi.

Supporters of Palestine pose an existential threat to the Western way of life and its values, and those values are upholding Israel’s right to practice apartheid and to conduct genocide.

American settler-colonial model has served as a blueprint for other colonial powers; its success in establishing a settler society while marginalizing Indigenous populations is unmatched in scale. Now, Israel, in a cynical attempt to avoid scrutiny, argues—"if America could do it, why can’t we?"

“If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by the truth. So that is our task, and it is your task—go and get the truth, get into the ballpark, get the ball, and give it to us and we'll spread it all over the world.” The Thanksgiving series.

hunter biden pardon must’ve hit like crack

joe biden is so good at reading the room

I'm just trying to imagine how much crack Hunter did for the past two days, like that must have been a helluva fucking party

What did you expect Biden would do, not pardon Hunter, pardon Snowden instead?

How are you all surprised Biden pardoned his son? What moral quandary did you have about the man who funded a genocide, bypassed Congress to get more billions for Israel's war crimes, vetoed all the ceasefire attempts at the UN, lied about seeing images of the non-existent beheaded babies?

God promised it to us, but we need American bombs to uphold it

Any argument that Western society was worth saving died this year with over 200k Palestinians

Don't punch down, punch up.

Don't side with the powerful. Don't side with Israel against the Palestinians. Don't side with the US empire against any nation it targets. Don't side with cops against their victims. Don't side with billionaires and politicians against the people. Don't side with the powerful.

Joe Biden, walking out of a bookshop carrying a copy of “The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine” by Palestinian-American Columbia University professor and scholar Rashid Khalidi. Probably trying to undo his last-minute ticket to Hell, upon his departure.

Our generation comfortably thought we'd live our lives unscathed, unlike our ancestors who endured world wars, pandemics, plagues, famine, recessions. But here we are, two out of five behind us: recession and pandemic down, one world war to go. We're too lazy & too digitalized for plague and famine.

The audacity of the US to say that they are ‘better than their enemies’ because they ‘abide by international law,’ yet at the same time claim international law ‘does not apply’ to them, and expect their citizens to be infant-brained ignoramuses who swallow this garbage up

You are a person who broke through millennia of propaganda. You stared into the face of uncomfortable truths, unlearned previous misguided perceptions, and recognized how your former delusions about this world contributed to many of its injustices. MY LATEST ARTICLE.

I can take pretty much anything but parroting clueless analysis on Ukraine/Russia based on legacy media talking points (but they are our allies!) is shaving off days of my life. Like, please don't. Step away from the keyboard.

Hopping on socials and encountering dweebs with such a glaring lack of geopolitical awareness, but constantly spewing their misguided analysis as if they grew up in a world devoid of access to international news or historical context—utterly unbearable.

I haven't read anything more disturbing than this in a while, and we're currently in the middle of a livestreamed genocide. Did @theonion.com acquire NYTimes alongside Info Wars or is @nytimes.com really this deprived? God help us all.

I vacillate between short, sharp glimpses of hope and complete disconsolate despair. Mostly the latter if I’m being honest
