I want to be very clear: (1) supporting Palestine doesn't and shouldn't imply supporting Hamas as an entity or any war crimes; (2) nor should reporting of violence by Hamas be allowed to obscure, minimise, diminish or ignore incessant violence by the Israeli state; (3) no one should be dehumanised!

The official White House line is that Palestinian resistance is unprovoked terrorism. But Israel locked Gaza in an open air prison. They’ve bombed and attacked this prison. Settlers have been killing people in the West Bank. Resistance to apartheid violence is utterly provoked.

Just remember folks, there is nothing we can do about Elon Musk engaging with Jacinta Ardern conspiracy theorists except encourage normal people to be elsewhere and not give them cause to stay. This is not correctable misinformation. Trying will just feed the machine.

As Twitter dies trolls are looking at other media outlets to engage. Hide their replies. Then go to their profile and block them. Never engage. They will soon tire of their trolling if they get no response. Peace and Harmony prevails when we stick together.

It’s been a year since Elon Musk acquired Twitter. Impressively, he hasn’t managed to do a single smart thing with it in that time. Some thoughts on the waking demise of the platform—and why it’s hard to look away from a spectacle of failure:

Just saw a horribly racist post I normally woulda blocked and moved on from But then I noticed the poster's bio, which includes that he clerked for Justice Gorsuch & was Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senator Grassley This disgusting racist had a key role filling the federal judiciary, I'm sick
Screenshot of a tweet from Mike Davis (@mrddmia on Twitter) which reads:

"The violent Black underclass is a danger to America.

Especially to hard-working, law-abiding Black Americans and other minorities trapped in their ghettos.

We must resume the mass-incarceration of these thugs.

In the meantime, Americans must arm up.

These monsters will kill."
