PALESTINIANS IN GAZA ALREADY TRIED THIS! They held peaceful marches to the Israeli fence on the “border” and the IDF responded by FIRING LIVE AMMUNITION AT THEM! They shot THOUSANDS of Palestinians! THIS WAS LIKE FOUR YEARS AGO! ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
Israeli snipers shot thousands of Palestinian PEACEFUL protesters in Gaza. They aimed for their knees and legs, intentionally inflicting disabling injuries. The IDF killed hundreds and injured THOUSANDS! Israeli soldiers are on the record bragging about it!

Every time someone told me that Texas was gonna go blue this year I thought about that video from McAllen of that middle aged Texan Latino store owner wielding a chainsaw and screaming the n-word There's this weird assumption among white liberals that Texas is a blue state in waiting bc of its high Latino population, but that's not how it works! Latinos aren't a monolith, and it's really not that hard to find non-white conservatives in Texas.

You know the anti-communists in Guatemala were the one slaughtering indigenous Maya villagers, right ? They're still finding mass graves to this day Same goes for El Salvador, it was the anti-communist forces (army + paramilitary death squads) there who committed the horrific atrocities during that country's civil war. Honestly I'm not even sure you can call it a civil war, it was more of a decade long mass-slaughter

My problem with AOC isn’t her beliefs or principles, I understand that she believes in working within the Democratic Party (I don’t). My problem is that I think her strategy probably isn’t going to work or amount to much in the grand scheme of things. I don’t think she’s a bad person or a sellout, she never claimed to be some kind of revolutionary. But given how little time we have to like, not cook the fucking planet I just don’t see her strategy making enough of a dent to avoid catastrophe.

i always find it hilarious how closely the brazilian online right follows the american right, to the point of even picking up their memes like this picture of the gun couple in st. louis it’s kind of pathetic because the online american right doesn’t know or give a shit about about brazilian politics but you have guys in são paulo who translate QAnon drops into Portuguese

the mainstreaming of “slava ukraini, heroyam slava” since 2014 has pretty wild to watch if you know the history of the slogan and who used it for reference:

words and phrases from AAVE have been making their way into general american english for generations. i totally get having pride in your dialect and wanting it people to respect it, but trying to stop the spread of words and phrases to other dialects is a losing battle tbh obviously i’m not black so it’s not my dialect i’m talking about here but i don’t see the point in fighting a losing battle, this is just the way language works. that being said i do think it’s good that there’s more awareness of AAVE as a distinct, unique dialect of English

Listening to one of @TheWarNerd's episodes with @Annibal97783312 and learned about Faccetta Nera, one of the most popular songs of Italy's fascist era. The song is a celebration of Italy’s attempt to colonize Ethiopia, very revealing of Italian Fascism's attitude towards race: Image "Faccetta Nera" literally translates to "little black face" and is, as you can see from the lyrics, extremely racist. Italian colonialism is portrayed as a liberatory force, "saving" the Ethiopian girl from slavery-- she "becomes Roman" ("faccetta nera, sarai Romana") and then…

this is the most insufferable kind of zionism by far, the woke kind that tries to make zionism righteous and anti-colonial. i much prefer the open fascists of the israeli far-right who don’t hide the fact that zionism is colonialism and in fact openly embrace it insufferable woke millennial zionist: um zionism is actually an indigenous rights movement sweetie 😇

kahanist israeli settlers: we're going to start a holy war, ethnically cleanse all the non-jews, and steal their land

losing my fucking mind reading this Wortman withdrew $475,000 from CIBC Intria on 3/30

Mounties say:
“There’s no way a civilian can just make an arrangement like that”

“I think [wjth that transaction] you’ve proved with that single fact that he had a relationship with the police. He was either a CI or an agent.” ImageImage

thinking about that time when zhirinovsky said russia should ban the letter ы because it’s an “asiatic sound” Image my other favorite Zhirinovsky moment was when he said that everyone in russia “from Perm to Yekaterinburg” is, and i quote, “a retarded population” lmao ImageImage

Nasrallah: “I want to be very clear, we don’t mean the American people. All across the region there are American citizens-- traders, journalists, engineers, and doctors. They cannot be touched… any harm to U.S. civilians will only serve Trump’s agenda.” I feel like this is worth highlighting because some people have the idea that we’re going to see indiscriminate violence against Americans in response to the assassinions of Qassem Soleimani, and that’s just not true. They’re going to pick their targets very carefully.

The Wiphala flag represents the indigenous people of the region— Evo Morales gave the flag equal status to the Bolivian national flag in 2009. Coup supporters are now tearing it down.

I think that tells you everything you need to know about the coup plotters and their supporters “Get rid of the damn Indian!”
—Bolivia's right-wing opposition, hanging Morales in effigy a few nights ago

The two-state "solution" was never viable, and it was never going to happen. Ever. The only solution is, and always has been, one state for Palestinians and Jews with equal rights for all and a guaranteed right of return for all Palestinian refugees and their descendants. Kind of surprised Netanyahu isn't annexing more of the West Bank, but it's important to remember that this is a starting point-- this is only the beginning of full West Bank annexation

One of the most tragic things about the Lebanese Civil War is that this colossal moron made it out alive Thelma and Louise-- that's your analogy? Are you fucking kidding me?
