The hardest thing about it all is you question the values you shared with people you thought you knew.

You question if you even knew them at all..

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

All of the Israelis held by Hamas are called “hostages,” including the IDF soliders.

All the Palestinians released, though, are “prisoners,” including the many victims of Israel’s widespread arbitrary detention - meaning they are legally innocent, detained without charge or conviction.

Disgusting.
CBC headline reads: All living Israeli hostages freed, nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners released

this is why i’m irritated by “they can’t refuse to follow orders, but they don’t want to be there & some of them are just picking up litter & helping with groceries & not working” while meanwhile whole kinds of people straight up are like “i am scared to go outside because i might get disappeared.”

the goal is to see them as silly or benign or blending into the scenery. for most liberals, the expectation is that you'll tolerate their presence while they terrorize people who don't look like you

images of National Guard units just standing around w captions like "lol pointless" imo miss the mark on what the troop deployments are intended to do; the goal is for troops to terrorize homeless or protect ICE while they terrorize immigrants, if they're doing nothing, that's still projecting force

I should add I’m impressed they’re calling an outbreak an outbreak! And still testing for #Covid19, isolating & quarantining even tho it’s excruciating for dementia patients, families & staff. But where they fail spectacularly is following so-called strict infection, prevention & control protocols.

A few weeks ago there was a #Covid19 outbreak on my Mom’s memory care wing. The whole section was quarantined. Family could still visit but before entering a resident’s room, they were req’d to put on full gowns & gloves. They were even told to remove their shoes. But masks were optional.😡

An Israeli journalist gloats over the murder of a Palestinian journalist.

I can’t find the words to characterize it—‘depraved’ is far too gentle.

Conservatives have built their own social media platforms, Trump has his own Twitter alternative, his allies are buying major social media platforms to weaponize for their propaganda and influence and we’re still arguing if having a left-leaning social media platform is a bad thing

My friend's wife in TO is almost at her 2nd year with long COVID. She's getting a bit better, but is afraid of falling & breaking more bones. She's developed cognitive difficulty with sorting and sequencing things like her multiple meds and paperwork like bills and statements.

They want everyone who isn't allowed in the club to gush over how awesome it is, and they want even to punish the people whose houses we razed and forebears we killed to love them for being a member.

That's not how life works.

Either throw open the doors or burn the club down.

You want to know why people don't love the United States? Because the US that people say they love isn't a country. It's a segregated country club built on a graveyard.

And it's not enough for some people to have exclusive entry to and privileges in the country club.

You know what?

When the United States actually takes care of a of the people within its borders, I'll consider being respectful or grateful to this country. But for now, what I see is a country founded on multiple genocides doing its level best to either deny those genocides ever happened,

Since we are in the upside down. Many of us have long histories of Antifa in our families such as WW2 Radiomen like my grandpa George. He was traumatized in war so we could have freedom from Fascism. Be antifa as hard as you can.

The US is a straight-up police state, more egregious than the vast majority of ‘totalitarian regimes’ we (in the Global North) grew up being warned about.

Dropsite reporting confirms the deteriorating condition of the starving Gazan child highlighted by the NYT was in fact a direct consequence of the Israeli-imposed famine, regardless of ‘pre-existing condition’ (exclusively blamed by Bari Weiss’ The Free Press).

www.dropsitenews.com/p/bari-weiss...
When Israel imposed a full-spectrum blockade in March, Muhammad was just 15 months old. “Until the end of March, Muhammad’s health was still good, he weighed around nine kilograms. But since then, his health has deteriorated week by week. He lost roughly one kilogram every month. Today, at 19 months old, he weighs only six kilograms,” she said, showing Drop Site photographs and videos before and after.

Muhammad was admitted to the hospital for several days and diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition, the most extreme and life-threatening form of malnutrition.

“They say that the skeletal body of Muhammad is due to another health condition,” Al-Mutawaq said. “But if so, why isn’t this skeletal body visible in his photos only a couple of months ago? Why did he become like this only after Israel started starving us?”
