God bless the Sumud Flotilla and their devotion to the Palestinian people.

History will be kindest to those who did the most with the least.

meanwhile at the Riyadh Comedy Festival

Objectively hilarious. This is something Jonah Ryan from Veep would say.

The contradiction between "We support and advocate for Israel" and "we're not Israelis and should not be held accountable for its actions" becomes impossible to ignore when Israel is pursuing the extermination of a society of two million people. You advocate for Israel? You bear responsibility.

From where I’m sitting, Sultana is clearly the wronged party here, the victim of exactly that – a boys’ club – but the gender dynamic conceals what I think is a much greater issue; an old guard of Trotskyist loons playing toy soldiers, asserting party lines as politics rages on without them.

"Ethiopia’s Tigray war, which lasted from 2020 to 2022, is one of the most criminally under-covered conflicts in modern history" “It is a really horrific and extreme form of sexual violence, and one that deserves the world’s attention.”🧵

buymeacoffee.com/emissaryofnight Got my pay yesterday and I can finally send money to the best writers and activists and @diplomatofnight.com has just been fantastic.

Now the prince speaks. Absolute crickets when it came to Mahmoud Khalil. Does this man of colour only concern himself when it’s white people who become targets?

Liberals now feeling what it has been like to support Palestine in the US. Every word twisted. Loss of job for a simple opinion. Taken off air for a monologue. Lists to target you. Employers harassed. It feels endless, coming from all directions. It only gets worse from here

Until every innocent Palestinian man, woman and child has access to both the medical and psychiatric care they so desperately need after two years of relentless slaughter, my response to every video like this is simple: who cares.

25 years ago SCOTUS and a bunch of rightwing activists decided a national election We then began a forever war *everywhere* on the globe and revived Cold War practices *and* added to them new practices We made an illegal prison We cracked down on speech We used new technology to make killing easier

truly one of the most unintentionally funny things i've ever seen someone post online about themself

Bardem has been vocal on this issue going back to at least the 2014 war when coverage was considerably more pro-Israel and also has a long history of advocacy for Sahrawi nationalism, which hardly anyone in the west even knows about

The Vuelta Ciclista could not be completed at all in Madrid thanks to massive pro-Palestine protests against the presence of an Israeli team. The organisers' insistence on keeping the Israeli team has cost them the entire race.

www.theleftberlin.com/an-idyll-dis... I wrote an article giving a more layered analysis of the Norwegian parliamentary elections for a foreign audience. Promise you it’s way better than any analysis you’ll read in the international press.

The man is condemning the fruits of his own labour lol

why not read: 3,000 words on how spending 48 hours in Norway turned me into a smaller, meaner person :) youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/continenta...

"5 American citizens, Palestinian Americans murdered [in the occupied West Bank] since Oct 2023. We've seen no accountability, no justice.. the Netanyahu govt is complicit in allowing these attacks to continue" US Senator Senator Chris Van Hollen speaking in the occupied West Bank

I made this months ago and it is yet to let me down

"Et anekdote-industrielt kompleks som fordummer samfunnsdebatten." Burde vinne en eller annen journalistpris bare på den ene formuleringen. Men bevares - det er nok av andre grunner til å lese artikkelen.

I am genuinely impressed at the government's capacity to undermine the normative power of invoking terrorism and national security. They have done more in 30 days to problematise the concepts than 30 years of leftist scholarship.

vm.tiktok.com/ZNdCd1yVd/ Jeg lager TikToks på (dårlige) norsk nå

vm.tiktok.com/ZNdQvYfgw/ Compelled to publicise my first TikTok. Elections in Norway this September and it might be a tight contest. One thing I’ve noticed is that the right is promoting Sweden as VC utopia to emulate. I try to tell Norwegians here why this is a bad idea

Forskere: Klimaendringene forårsaket hetebølgen, det kommer til å bli flere og verre hetebølger, dette er alvor! Norske medier: UNGE KVINNER I BIKINI!!!!

Have a theory that if plot economic groups on a happiness scale, the rich people would all be on a sliding scale of how much they resent paying tax with the happiest being the ones who recognise it doesn't affect their actual standard of living at all and the saddest being the "tax is theft" types

Every word of this. These outlets can't be allowed to escape their complicity in this, the stigma must stick to them just as it will stick to Israel's Channel 12. It's so important they have been named to an English-speaking audience: that is to say, outside the bubble whose discourse they dominate.

Så rart at så mange borgerlige velger er så opptatt med Sverige som et forbilde, et land som har mer ulikhet enn USA! De er litt besatt av grunnleggerne og venture-kapitalsystemet som ikke engang skaper profit. #StoppSverifiseringAvNorge #Stortingsvalget2025 #valgkamp2025 #valget2025

I don’t need graphs about what jolly good citizens migrants are to justify why they shouldn’t be attacked. They shouldn’t be attacked because racism is bad and racists are cunts

Um we don't actually arrest everyone who says "I support the IRA" and if we did it would be very very noticeable especially in NI, Scotland, and Liverpool

Richard Madeley is not a political scientist or philosopher. He’s a fucking canine. When the dog starts giving you funny looks about where the walk is going it’s because they can sense you’re leading them into danger.

🚨BREAKING: ISRAEL ASSASSINATES AL JAZEERA CORRESPONDENT ANAS AL-SHARIF Israel also killed Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Quraqa and wounded Al-Kawthar correspondent Mohammed Subh in a strike on Al Jazeera’s tent at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

My life’s work of defending Israel and equivocating about its crimes is starting to feel a bit embarrassing so I’ll be spending more time watching the cricket.

"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945

I spoke to one of the staff at the Prince Charles this week and apparently the landlords’ aim is to convert these successful cinema spaces into capsule hotels. For tourists, I presume, who’ve come to London to enjoy all its vibrant Nothing Fucking Happening Any More.

www.theleftberlin.com/tariffs-at-t... I just had to write something about the EU-trump tariffs. Here I dissect some of the immediate reaction and discuss some long term strategies for the left. It’s a bleak situation and I foresee a struggle for Europe to survive as a political entity.

Almost as if you can borrow against the future for a period of time but then you have to pay it back?? But that this doesn't apply to gilts, the thing we panic about, and does apply to selling off public assets hand over fist, the thing every newspaper owner tells us is the solution????!!

But at that point, well, we've dismantled the state and everyone's pension wealth relies on real estate prices staying too high for anyone to afford to live in the country. Very good times!

Arguing with people in a twenty post back-and-forth over who you voted for is pointless, but if anyone responds to the very clear and obvious charge that Starmer and Lammy are complicit in genocide with that rote liberal demurral, you should just dismiss them forever. Not a hole worth crawling down.

There is a way in which, when confronted by their mainstream leaders being participants in world-historic criminality, British voters turn into Sartre's antisemite, retreating to mumbled words then hastily changing the subject to signal the moment for discussion has passed. Expect more of it.

And I don't really know why I'm saying this right now, though I also do know why I'm saying it right now. I just keep watching that aerial footage of the destruction of Gaza and I'm dreading the facts, figures and statistics that are going to leak out of that space for years to come, and I'm scared.

It always comes back to this. Whatever pretensions we may have about the political system under which we live, Palestine is the issue on which every contradiction unravels, each hypocrisy is laid bare, and all values are rendered contingent and expendable—with our leaders' willing participation.

Kinda surreal to learn someone you went to school with has gone full astral planes artsy girl, set up a small arts and crafts business in Tel Aviv, despite no connection to Judaism except for the high school having a large contingent of Jewish kids. Calls it a wonderful country and all.

Even if defending trans people's rights wasn't a vital cause in itself, any socialist should be able to see that transphobia is the leading edge of the anti-feminist backlash against advances in the 2010s. If you don't call that out clearly you lack the strategic nous to lead the left.
