In 2023, @pontifexes.bsky.social apologized for the Doctrine of Discovery, theological justification of genocide.
The DofD justified Manifest Destiny, which inspired Lebenstraum, which informed Zionism.
And now Pope Francis is supporting Palestinians.
Full circle.
Genocide IS Western Civilization.

"This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors."

One of my only remaining joys is that every single time Amy Coney Barrett makes a stupid argument, Ketanji Brown Jackson gets a chance to follow up and illustrate her stupidity.
And this will happen again, and again, for the rest of Barrett's life.

The right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" requires others to leave people alone and let them live their lives as they choose. You don't get to control people.

Let this be a lesson to all political parties: when you bring in white people because they're "edgy," like the Young Republicans did, you're likely bringing in racists and misogynists who celebrate violence against anyone who isn't white and male. That's just reality.

Declaring Palestine Action a terrorist group and declaring "antifa" a terrorist group... It's all connected to how any and all Palestinians (and their supporters) are immediately labeled Hamas, and in many cases that seems to justify their killing. Please make the connection.

Israel has not even been removed from singing contests or sporting events .. it has not even faced the slightest of consequences yet.

Everyone will pay for this if it is allowed to continue in this way. We already are.

If we continue to look away while a whole group is tortured, starved, rounded up and genocided by Israel in full public view, what sort of message do you think fascist billionaires in power are getting about what they can get away with doing to vulnerable minorities in the west?

If you can't see that the IDF and ICE are very similar sorts of Nazis... What are you even doing?

The overlaps in surveillance tech, the dehumanizing, the militarized cities... It's all coming home now... Because this was enabled abroad first, almost unchallenged.

If you cannot see how the genocide & ethnic of Palestinians, with no consequences for the perpetrators ...has emboldened the worst people in the world... If u can't see that the calls for 'remigration' (ethnic cleansing) in the west r inspired by the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

I'm amazed by the people on here who seem to care so much about the fascism at home but have not yet said much about the fascism their country has enabled abroad.

If you cannot make that connection, *still* .. I'm not sure how you are planning to effectively oppose it.

The yr I turned 51, I almost lost my mind. My father had dropped dead on the sidewalk from a massive
brain hemorrhage when he was 51 & I was convinced that such would be my fate. I have blessedly lived two decades & three years since then, and my ❤️ breaks that D’Angelo is gone, too soon, at 51. RIP

This Day in Labor History: October 15, 1990. President George H.W. Bush signed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, finally providing a path forward for some of the Cold War’s most exploited workers, Navajo uranium miners, to get some compensation, but even here this did not work well.

This piece comes with this nifty Venn diagram I am quite happy with. The interesting question remains- when does the White House go for spending without appropriations.
