In the event that tomorrow’s speech is a declaration of further aggression against Venezuela, you should respond in a way that will let you hold your head high years from now, even if it is difficult in the present.

Too many people on BlueSky are unfamiliar with the classics

I go to sleep on these cold winter nights with my blanket, my heater, four walls and a roof — and I think of my friend Hani’s family, in a torn tent that doesn’t keep out the rain. If you’ve ever gained any joy or insight from my words, please help them buy a new tent. chuffed.org/project/help...

and the same reason I refused to debate Charlie Kirk. I don't debate fascists. Genocide is wrong. Free Palestine from the river to the sea. And if you disagree, bite me.

Every day I get a couple of dozen demands from Zionists that I debate them. And as my platform has grown across Threads and Bluesky, they've only increased. I don't debate genocide apologists. It's why I turn down interview requests from shows that platform Alan Dershowitz and Bari Weiss,

A coffee place nearby is called "Doppio" and every time it comes up, I start saying "D-d-d-doppio???? do-PPI-o????" But even after showing my wife the relevant Nichijou clip she still doesn't think it's funny

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

“Cuomintang” is so good.

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

What is unfolding in Sudan, where the armed group RSF has taken control of the key city of El Fasher, is "the sum of all our fears," says human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond. "RSF is killing at a scale and a velocity that I haven’t seen since Rwanda."

I've gone back and forth on whether to post about this -- part of me that is so, so tired of flaying open the details of our grief just to beg the world to care. They killed my friend. They fucking killed him. His wife is struggling immensely to feed their children. Anything you can donate helps.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

If you want to understand what the actual revolutionaries in Sudan think about this, we have been covering this @merip.bsky.social for over a year and a half. www.merip.org/2025/10/the-...

Sharing devastating news from the Sameer Project (once again). This is why we have to understand that there is no ceasefire. There is no peace until the zionist entity falls. Please honor Ameen Abu Dalal by giving to the Refaat Alareer Camp campaign: chuffed.org/project/1133...

Reminder that the Abraham “Peace” Accords were actually not simply normalization treaties but arms agreements. While those deals happened under Trump, the Biden admin has approved massive arms sales to both the UAE & KSA ($5Bn in 2022 for missile defense). /4

The UAE is the main backer of the RSF - including through arms. Two-thirds of the UAE’s arsenal is bought from the U.S. - with South Korea & Israel also being large suppliers, especially of air defense (missiles). The UAE is the third top supplier in the region (behind Israel and Turkey). /3

Horrific situation in Sudan’s El Fashir, which has fallen to the RSF. Massacre after massacre of civilians; civilian men being asked if they’re soldiers and being summarily executed in the streets. 🧵

The reports out of Sudan have been of the most horrific atrocities. This is unbearable.

Say you were drunk in Croatia.

Hey Bernie, quick question, what the fuck is wrong with you? www.newsweek.com/bernie-sande...

Why do I keep seeing specifically *Yemen* brought up as a non-sequitur whatabout? Are people telling on themselves, thinking their opponents are somehow unaware of the history of Gulf/US bombings and intervention there?? It's so bizarre

I can feel myself cracking. Can't even imagine the anguish of the parents asking me for help keeping their babies alive over and over every day for 2 years of a hell made specially for them by the rest of the world, with no end in sight.

Using a double-hyphen em-dash to prove that my writing is lovingly crafted by human hands because obviously my muscle memory for the em-dash comes from word processors which shortcut the double-hyphen into an em-dash and an LLM wouldn't know that

"Netanyahu doesn't represent Israel" his party would win a majority in the Knesset if elections were held today Gaza is still destroyed, Israel still occupies 50% of it, Israel still controls and restricts aid, Israel still bombs with impunity www.jpost.com/israel-news/...

Your government has steadily supplied Israel with the bombs and diplomatic support to murder hundreds of thousands. Your media manufactures consent for the genocide. Today, Israel launched a "massive wave" of airstrikes against Gaza. During a ceasefire.

BREAKING: The Israeli military says it has begun a wave of air attacks on southern Gaza as the precarious ceasefire comes under threat. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/7g8svh

UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

Bari Weiss, whose lies and propaganda directly led to the murder of Palestinian poet and professor Refaat Alareer — and indirectly supported the murder of so many others — is now editor-in-chief of CBS News. Zionists are desperately trying to regain control of the narrative. Don't let them.

With the Trump Admin murdering people in the Caribbean via airstrike and gearing up for another imperialist war, this time against Venezuela, the only sane response I can think of is just "Death to America."

Two Trinidad citizens identified as victims of US airstrike that destroyed a boat off the coast of Venezuela. “According to maritime law, if you see a boat, you are supposed to stop the boat and intercept it, not just blow it up."

Earlier today I was listening to one of the hosts from Here and Now repeatedly ask a resident from Southeast Chicago whether throwing rocks at ICE was justified. And finally she just said, "They invaded our community. They have machine guns."
