Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

This is a beautiful version of a song that means an awful lot to me. It makes me sad to think how far we moved away from the 1980s when Dolly and Johnny Cash were covering this like it was a bygone era of national shame. But also she did this on purpose, I wish more people knew the story behind it.

Kites — which bring smiles to children’s faces and, for a moment, help them escape the reality of tents and rubble — have now been banned by Israel, which declared kite-flying a potential act of war.

'And of course, fascists love to be able to categorize people in order to oppress or destroy them, and anti-trans liberals are helping them determine “womanhood” as an immutable category. Fascists will build a prison for cis women built out of trans people’s bones.'

The average sentence for providing material support to ISIS is a little over 13 years. The Prairieland defendants got between two and nearly eight times that. So, again, the government is saying that the crimes of “antifa” are somehow two to eight times worse than those supporting an FTO.

Every bombed village is my hometown.

And every dead child is my child.

Every grieving mother is my mother.

Every crying father is my father.

Every home turned to rubble

is the home I grew up in.

Every brother carrying the remains

of his brother across borders

is my brother.

Every sister waiting for a sister

who will never come home

is my sister.

Every one of these people are ours,

Just like we are theirs.

We belong to them

and they belong to us.

Notice the difference in the reporting here.
A comparison layout of two different headlines by the NYTimes. The first headline, "Iran says dozens are killed in drone strike on school," casts doubt because it implies that there is no official US statement on whether they hit a school, and the strike claims no responsibility because it was done as an act of war. 

The second headline reads "9 killed in Israeli city near Jerusalem after Iranian missile strike." it Implies that this is a true statement, and names a perpetrator who is at fault. Implying it was an act of aggression not retaliation for strikes on Iran.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (and again and again)
said it yesterday and I’ll say it again: physical abuse of women is a core appeal of the ideology. these guys — and far-right figureheads in general — are not ashamed that they’ve done these things or been party to them. they’re proud, and they want their followers to feel that way too

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

I never understand why people who tout their moderate and centrist credentials aren't directly asked about this.
Screenshot of the letter which reads: I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
