The United States is still committing genocide in Gaza, and the majority of Democrats elected last night support it.

I said spare us – I didn’t say exhume his corpse and spit on it.
We Palestinians understand that there are many and different levels of how little we mean to anyone. So thanks for doing it in your own way

I genuinely need people to understand what they are being asked to normalize here.
Mamdani campaigned on arresting Netanyahu.
Today Netanyahu came to NYC, received massive police protection, and anti-genocide protesters were arrested by the NYPD.

“It’s not the place of a non Jew to criticize a Jewish Zionist, it could come off as antisemitic to people who may be sympathetic to your cause”
This is why Israel lasted so long btw.The cynical deployment of identity reductionism to defend oppression. We must reject it

I hope that before we all die in climate disaster we can at least come together and hang every single oil executive and politician and businessman responsible
In a strategic retreat, the United Nations concedes that Earth has lost its chance to prevent some of the worst impacts of global warming.

to be clear, khanna refused to answer “yes” because he’s a racist who thinks that palestinians have no right to militarily resist their occupation but that israel has a right to attack palestinians, which is the exact inverse of what international law says.
💢 Jeremy Scahill asks Rep. Ro Khanna:
“Do Palestinians have a right to kill Israeli soldiers, Congressman?”
“On October 7, did Palestinians have a right to attack Israeli military bases in the Gaza envelope? Yes or no?”
🎥 Watch Khanna’s response in the attached clip. Longer discussion in the post below ⬇️

Allegations of rape and sexual violence against white women were one of the most commonly cited justifications for lynching Black men in America, though the historical record shows these charges were routinely fabricated or grossly distorted.
Statistics show that about one-fourth of all lynchings from 1880 to 1930 were actually prompted by an accusation of rape. In fact, most victims were political activists, labor organizers, or Black men and women who simply violated white expectations of deference.
White mobs used these allegations to enforce segregation and advance stereotypes of Black men as violent, hypersexual aggressors. The brute caricature of the hypersexual Black male was a myth used to justify the violence, which in turn functioned as a social control mechanism to instill fear in Black communities — sending messages not to register to vote, not to apply for white men’s jobs, not to organize, not to complain publicly.
This caricature gained in popularity whenever Black people pushed for social equality.
Journalist and activist Ida B. Wells was among the first to systematically document and expose this pattern. In 1892, she published Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases, which connected names, dates, and identities to individual cases of lynchings and rape accusations to show that that the rape narrative used to justify lynching was a deliberate fabrication, writing, “nobody in this section of the country believes the old threadbare lie that Negro men rape white women.”
She documented that the true motivation for lynching was the enforcement of racial hierarchy.
No independent international human rights organization has confirmed a single case of rape by Palestinian fighters on October 7.
Hasan Piker says the designated terrorist organization Hamas is 1,000 times better than Israel.
His statement outraged many — who now just want to write him off. That's a mistake. He has a massive audience and is emerging as one of the major voices of his generation. Those of us who disagree owe him — and his audience — a real argument.
Here's mine … And my position doesn’t come from ignorance about oppression. For a big chunk of my life, I was a grassroots activist — because of the pain of my own people. During those years, I was lucky enough to learn from elders who had been in the Black Panther Party, in SNCC, in the ANC. These were people who had to choose whether to pick up the gun — and how to use it if they did.
They taught me this: even in armed struggle, there are principles. No women. No children. No rapes. No kidnapping. Mandela held that line. Amílcar Cabral held that line. You don't become what you're fighting.
Hamas fails that test. They are not fighting for MORE freedom for Palestinians. They're fighting for less. They want theocracy, not democracy. And their means? They don’t use principled armed struggle (hitting military targets). They use terrorism (targeting civilians).
The vast majority of Americans — including those who sympathize with the Palestinian cause — reject terror tactics. Reasonable people would agree on three principles: secure homelands for both peoples; no hatred for Jews or Muslims; and protection for all civilians. Hamas’ approach undermines all three.
That's the conversation Piker's audience deserves. Not name-calling.

Americans think a non-genocidal candidate is too unrealistic.
Seriously, sit with that. Sit with the weight of its full implications.
If that’s the norm, isn’t an elite pedo ring expected? You think people who don’t care about blowing up babies care about raping them???

In the least surprising turn of all time liberals love a movie with liberal politics and struggle to engage with criticism of the movie's liberalism

I really question the popular interpretation of those morally gray character study movies that are called cautionary tales. Cause most of them are about some poor abused person lashing out at the system. Feels very neo liberal to say it's about toxic masculinity

Zohran’s latest statement is disgraceful. It hides behind the language of morality while reinforcing the same frameworks that dehumanize Palestinians.
He begins by calling October 7 a “horrific war crime,” centering Israeli suffering as the starting point of the story. That framing erases the decades of siege, occupation, and systematic killing that led to that day. It makes Palestinian resistance seem like senseless violence rather than a response to unending colonization.
He follows with mourning for Gaza, but only after reaffirming that Palestinian resistance must first be condemned. This is what passes for “balance” in liberal politics: treating a colonized people’s fight for survival as a moral failure while describing their annihilation as a humanitarian tragedy.
By calling for “diplomacy, not war crimes,” Zohran implies that both sides are equally guilty, softening the reality of a one-sided genocide into the language of “conflict.” He refuses to name power, which is the easiest way to protect it.
Invoking “universal human rights” sounds principled, but it empties the struggle of its political meaning. Palestinians are not asking for abstract ideals. They are demanding freedom, return, and liberation from a settler state built on their destruction.
At a time when Gaza is being erased, statements like this do not show courage. They show complicity.
