Dear Australian news media When reporting Israeli claims that are demonstrably false, known lies, REPORT THIS! Some suggested phrases: "Israel falsely claims ..." "Israel repeated the proven lie that ..." Words matter. Facts matter. Otherwise it's not #journalism, it's propaganda. #Israel #Palestine

The fact that pointing out that a rich white woman hasn’t spoken up during a genocide led to defensiveness & near instant anti-Blackness tells me that white women are very okay with racism they can benefit from. They give TS cover from criticism because they want cover from the same criticism too.

Last night I had a dream that we all woke this morning to find Trump had abdicated the presidency. Never have I wanted the words of a delusional 90s pop song to be true more than I did this morning. (I don't know if you can abdicate a presidency or only throne, but it's the word my dream used).

The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy. And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

I think it’s interesting how it’s “political violence” when it’s a white supremacist but not when it’s hundreds of thousands of Sudanese or Palestinian people. But y’all are still fuzzy on why fascism happens? Pay attention. This is what you actually value.

Here’s what I’m ultimately getting at. You will see some in this moment that will feel sorrow. And you will see some in this moment who will feel nothing. And you have to be okay with that. Check your privilege at the door. You don’t get to tell anyone how to feel about this right now.

I few years ago I went to a sensory experience that included a "talk to a real #AI" installation.
