Regarding Israel and Palestine, I think it's important to acknowledge the role of Israel's settler apartheid state in creating the conditions which led to this conflict, without endorsing the wanton killing of civilians by Hamas. These aren't mutually exclusive positions. 🧵 Discourse around this conflict is tough because of the asymmetrical nature of the violence- Palestinian violence is highlighted for it's brutal and immediate form, whereas the violence Israel inflicts is extremely normalized and often takes on a more institutionalized form.

Jeez, I thought leftists were supposed to be the ones with the long and convoluted answers.

This definition is dumb for a couple reasons.

First, he says "you believe your identity is based on your race, gender, sexual orientation" like... yes? Those are fundamental aspects to your identity, and they're the ones most likely to affect the way that society treats you.

Revolutionary Blackout Network (RBN) had an interview with Marianne Williamson today which lead to her exiting 20 minutes early.

I thought it would be useful to documents the moments which lead up to it.

Here she is asked to justify a potential Democratic presidential run: Unsatisfied with her answer, Nick insists that the only way to affect real change is by running with a 3rd party.

Marianne responds by saying that you can get the same or better leverage to affect change by working within the Democratic Party.

He really can't help himself lmao. Make no mistake, this is exactly what Ye wanted to get away with on Tim Pool's show and why he stormed out when he didn't get it. Alex Jones is now sheepishly and awkwardly playing along, because he desperately wants the clout and isn't beholden to Youtube TOS.

Ye just left Tim Pool's podcast after being told to pump the brakes on the JQ posting omfg Snowflake behavior tbqh

Trying to read Grayzone right now and the only sources these articles ever have is other Grayzone articles. Wtf. And then when I try to find the claim that was sourced in the other article, I can't find anything except for a long screed of unsourced and unrelated stuff. This is insane.

I want to make clear that I'm not documenting the FHL General Strike summit in attempt to frivolously pick apart at a left wing simply because they have people involved that I don't like. I'm not doing this as a means of "purity testing" or gatekeeping what the left is. I want to see an increase in worker power all across the country, more than anything I'd like to see a general strike- but when your "activism" consists of rehashing petty online beefs and spouting conspiracy theories you are actively harming the cause of worker power.

Day 2 of the General Strike Summit: They're still talking about Hasan. He tried to get him to say "general strike"

Yooo @hasanthehun who's paying you? Lemme get some of that anti-working class cash 👀👀 @hasanthehun When I think "enemies of the working class" the first people I think of are Hasan Piker and The Young Turks. /s

Jimmy Dore keeps his livestreams behind a paywall so he can deceptively edit them later.

Here we can see him skipping around the TYT interview with @PatrickHilsman in order to cherry pick a clip to paint him as lying about US assessment of chlorine use at Douma. In the unedited clip you can see them skip past @PatrickHilsman talking specifically about the US using Sarin gas as a pretense to bomb nerve agent facilities.

He edited those portions out to make it seem like he was talking about the US assessment of the attack in general.
