📣 New report! The 2024 European Parliament elections will see a shift to the right in many countries and could mean that a populist right coalition emerges with a majority for the first time. ✍️ @simonjhix, Kevin Cunningham, @sd270 & @ImogenLearmonth buff.ly/3StNaeL

Last month I said there's evidence that many of the atrocities Hamas is accused of committing on October 7 like burning people alive were actually instances of indiscriminate Israeli fire, and people called me an antisemitic Holocaust denier. Yesterday an Israeli official admitted on TV that Israel had misidentified HUNDREDS of dead Hamas fighters as Israeli because there were so many corpses that were too badly burned to identify. Unless you believe Hamas was also burning hundreds of its own fighters alive, it's safe to assume that the burned corpses seen in all the images Israel has been bandying about since October 7 were in fact victims of Hellfire missiles fired by IDF forces. The IDF, not Hamas, burned people alive — both Israeli and Palestinian.

Reinventing cable. Just like Uber reinvented taxis. All these “disruptors” or “innovators” do is undercut an existing industry until they force it into a chokehold. Then they rebuild the preexisting business model sans worker protections like residuals and employment contracts.
Amazon plans to start rolling out ads on Prime Video movies and TV shows in early 2024. Consumers who want the ad-free tier will have to pay an additional $2.99/month fee, taking the subscription up to $17.99.

So paying 200K to do entirely unnecessary shipwreck tourism will earn the state's resources & global sympathy should things go awry, but fleeing for your life & desperate livelihood merits being left to drown in large . As long as we are clear.

April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain. apnews.com/article/super-mar…

More people need to be talking about Jackson, Mississippi. The city ran out of bottled water to give residents yesterday. It’s the largest city in Mississippi. It’s 80% Black. Their water system is failing because of years of neglect. This is environmental racism.

transphobia connects the entire fascist movement, it is its living tissue, and you have to defend trans people without caveat if you want to fight fascism in earnest
