But over the years, the French riot police have made tear gas, rubber bullets and baton charges their first response rather than one used in situations of extreme urgency. And whether you're a 60-y.o. protesting pension cuts or a 15-y.o. protesting educational cuts, that can radicalize you.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Make not opposing genocide hurt more than Israel works to make opposing genocide hurt. Make it hurt politicians' odds. Make it hurt artists' sales. Make it hurt medias' reputation. Make it hate platforms' revenues. Make it career-endingly devastating to stand there and "both sides" mass murder.

So, in short, it’s clear: there never was, and still isn’t, any mutual agreement to stop strikes on energy infrastructure and oil facilities and Donald Trump, as usual, is just brimming with imaginary victories.

As soon as the attacks occurred on September 11, 2001, we designed this poster and began circulating it. We knew the attacks on the United States didn't come out of nowhere. And as the patriots waved their flags, we knew that it wouldn't be long before there were hundreds of thousands more dead.

You cannot placate fascists because they have neither a ceiling nor a floor. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
You’re the sensible centrist government watching this take place. 

The far right pulls off votes to independents and fringe parties from you, the very sensible moderates whose managerial capitalism has actually caused the degradation they ascribe to foreigners. 

But they’re small enough in number that you dismiss them, and continue with the self-same policies which actually impact their voters’ lives.

Next time, they do well enough that you take notice. It is at this point you enter the spiral that has redrawn the electoral map of the Western world for the past decade.

You say you recognise ‘legitimate concerns’ and take a tougher line on, say, refugees. 

You accept the far right’s entirely false premise that immigrants increase crime, that the housing crisis is due to migrants rather than your own bad policies, or that foreigners are swamping the health service, rather than holding it up with their bare hands in the face of your own drastic underfunding of the system.

And you become less popular. You, the sensible moderate, continue to slide in the polls against the very parties whose policies you were trying to steal. A sizeable number of your own base are appalled, and you have failed to impress a single racist. 

Because everywhere, from France to Germany to the Netherlands to the UK, as with Fanta and its supermarket imitators, it turns out people prefer the original to the copy. 

You’ve driven away your traditional base, while sanitising the racism of the far right for low information voters, who now consider them more reasonable. 

You have moved the sensible middle position toward the far right — where you now stand, boxed in, by the ghouls you’ve just baptised as moderates.

And the slide continues. Because you cannot placate these people. You cannot reach an end. 

Round up every refugee in camps and they’ll want the next cruelty. 

Their concerns are not about society, the economy or public safety, they’re an ever-moving target of fear and hatred that cannot be sated, it has to be challenged. 

And now it’s too late, because you thought that you — and you alone! — would be the first centrist to steal the fascist’s lunch by agreeing with them rather than fighting them with every fibre of your being.

Heard about new fossil gas plants being built to power AI data centres? Maybe some PR about their emissions being captured & stored? Tip: Don't fall for empty promises from companies that produce+sell gas, that a technology they’ve been failing to deliver for decades, will soon make gas “clean” ⬇️
Image of an origami paper tiger, accompanied by text that says: "Carbon capture is a paper tiger. New fossil fuel infrastructure for data centres is not going to be 'decarbonised' by a costly, risky, and failed technology. Even its proponents won't pay for it... and will sue if they're actually required to build it. New gas just means new emissions."

If Serbia insists on burying Maladić with state honours, that is its sovereign prerogative. However such a move would be entirely inconsistent with being a candidate for EU membership, and the accession process should be formally suspended as a result.

It’s understandable, as they see Hamas everywhere.” Image of photo of Zomi with bouquet of flowers beside.
