Trump inflicts upon Americans the exact same type of rule that those up in arms about it are happy to support when it's imposed by their 'liberal' presidents on the people of the third world. You were at brunch while masked men backed by Obama and Biden were doing this to people you think subhuman.

Do you know what chemical contaminants can be found in the most heavily bombed place in human history? Me neither. I don't think anyone fully knows because nothing has ever been done like this before. It is unprecedented environmental catastrophe.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

So, the idea that we must treat Gaza as “just a legal term the courts will decide” is wrong. International law requires action when there is a serious risk, and the ICJ’s emergency orders and UN findings already reflect that threshold. Zionist bux will have you saying all manner of stupid shit.

The ICJ found the rights invoked under the Convention to be plausible and ordered provisional measures, including ordering Israel to prevent and punish direct and public incitement and to enable aid. Those are orders precisely because the court doesn’t wait for a years-long merits judgment to act.

One reason I find the “let the courts decide” line when it comes to calling what’s happening in Gaza “genocide" so stupid is that it’s not even a purely legal argument in itself. The law is ALSO preventative. The Genocide Convention defines genocide and also creates a duty on states to prevent it.

Iran’s Foreign Min. Abbas Araghchi has condemned Trump for accepting false claims that Iran was close to developing nuclear weapons, what he called “a big lie” fed to Trump — that Iran’s peaceful nuclear program was nearing weaponization. Araghchi said there is “zero proof of that, as confirmed...

Every time I read the phrase “Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee” I feel like I have to lie down

Haha, thank you but I’ve got a pretty narrow window of things I’d actually call myself knowledgeable about. As for fiction, I'm pretty sure the last fictional thing I read was The Vampire Chronicles in high school. It's just very hard for me to get through fiction. I'm trying to read more.

Just wanted to share this video of Saleh before the genocide. 🤍

Not brave enough to read that but lmk.

Mamdani is only this close to being mayor because he spoke unapologetically about Palestine, especially when he defended people who said “globalize the intifada.” He’s becoming palatable at the exact moment he doesn’t need to be. We've seen this movie before.

The world was invited to applaud the supposed end of a genocide that those in power now insist never occurred. This moral abyss is what we call a "peace summit."

We all witnessed it and we'll never forget.

lol.

America’s largest teachers’ union, the NEA, got in trouble for showing a map of historic Palestine during Indigenous Peoples Week.

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.

I think that view’s reductive and wrong, but he said the same about every civilization, including the West. It was part of his cyclical theory of history, not a racial hierarchy.

Not so much. He actually criticized Hitler and the Nazi racial ideology. He found their biological racism primitive. As for anti-Arab, I think that’s a misunderstanding. He saw Islamic civ as part of what he called the “Magian” world, a great culture that had already completed its creative phase.

Same.

Oh? OK, let me know!

Not quite correct on either count, but anyway, the point wasn't to do a deep dive on Spengler, just thought his view on Western "winter" was funny/prescient.

Yeah, he's obviously very fatalistic. As someone who believes in progress, justice, collective action, etc. it made me instinctively recoil at times.

I think it was Oswald Spengler who said the West wouldn’t fall to invasion, but to self-exhaustion or when its boundless drive for expansion and control eats away at its own spiritual vitality.

I’m actually speechless! Esp bringing on an LGBTQ influencer after the fact who—of course—won’t question it…
