Every single person should listen to this statement at the UN.
"I can tell you from having visited...death on this scale has a sound and a smell that does not leave you."

What a world. Capitalism "externalizes" costs to the point where the costs are "externalized" into our own bodies.

Not just the highly educated. Welsh miners formed study groups to read Austen and Dickens. Scottish shepherds built lending libraries. Watchmakers & cabinetmakers taught themselves Greek and Latin. The loss of working-class autodidact culture is one of history's great tragedies.

'These are the type of politics you’d expect of the British empire in the 19th century,' says @weizman_eyal on Trump’s colonial plans for Gaza. 'To simply erase Gaza and turn it into a riviera is a way to continue the work of destruction by construction': theguardian.com/world/2025/f…

I am stunned the world is not reacting to this. I think the more people like me talk about it, the more people write it off.
Seems we are so broken that sliding into unimaginable calamity is the only way people will even look at the situation honestly. We are lost.

We are continuing to update our Cartography of Genocide platform with our analysis of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Half of the layers are currently updated through mid-January, highlighting the escalation in bombardments and forced displacement across northern Gaza over the last few months: gaza.forensic-architecture.o…
NEW: ‘A Cartography of Genocide’. Since October 2023, we have collected and analysed data related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Our findings indicate that Israel has systematically targeted all aspects of civilian life. tinyurl.com/bdcrnzka
