It's very weird to me how many cis white Democrats are angrier with me for defending the votes of Arab and Muslim Americans whose families were being murdered by the Biden administration's flow of arms to Israel than they are with the flow of arms to Israel.

One of my goals for the year is to sprinkle a bit of non-fiction in with my usual genre-fiction slate. Seeing as it’s now February, I thought I’d start with this one by @michaelharriot.bsky.social #blackhistorymonth #booksky

Cover of the book “Black AF History - The Un-Whitewashed Story of America” by Michael Harriot

So we threw Black people under the bus and we threw Indigenous people under the bus and we threw Palestinians under the bus and we threw disabled people under the bus and we're throwing trans people under the bus and I'm just wondering if it will only stop when cis white folks are the only ones left

And maybe Trump goes there with domestic courts. But right now, he still needs the legal system to enforce his agenda. And if his acts are illegal, until the law is changed by SCOTUS, that means they won't. At the very least, it buys us time. These little victories can save lives in the meantime.

It's tyranny. Understanding legal frameworks are important because it matters whether you are complying with law or with raw power. And the difference explains how compliance will be enforced. The US enforces its will on the world not with law, but with bombs. We don't listen to the ICC and ICJ.

I mean, all laws are fake in that they're just words on paper, not self executing force fields that keep people from doing illegal things. But illegal things aren't legal just because everyone decided to listen to the Global Imperial Hegemon instead of the rulebook. That's not law, that's coercion.

And we pointed out then that when power chooses not to enforce the law, when people listen to power instead of the law, the law didn't stop existing. The same is true in the US right now. International law isn't any more real or fake than American domestic law.

A while back, @kristenzeta.bsky.social and I had a conversation On Threads about international law. A bunch of people were saying that international law didn't matter, that it was all fake, that the genocide in Occupied Palestine proved as much.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

I really can’t stress enough how much Israel has launched attacks on the West Bank less than two days after the Gaza ceasefire and it is getting almost no coverage in the media

Just a reminder that the International Court of Justice has found that Israel’s entire occupation of the West Bank is illegal and Israel is guilty of the crime of apartheid.

“Here only butterflies and birds are free”. I took this photo in Aida refugee camp, Bethlehem, when I visited the West Bank in 2016. Overnight, the camp was raided by Israeli forces. Despite the “ceasefire” in Gaza, Israeli military activities in the West Bank are escalating.

Kristen Zeta 🔻 @kristenzeta.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

What is happening in the West Bank is apartheid. And it is still happening. Israel has just locked down the West Bank, preventing movement between each town for Palestinians, while violent settlers roam free destroying property and inciting violence, backed by the IDF, egged on by the far-right.

“It’s not a Nazi salute, it’s a Roman salute” The Roman salute IS the fascist salute. It came to be known as the Roman salute more because fascist mythologists wanted to draw parallels between the strength of Fascist Italy and the Roman Empire. There is little evidence the ancient Romans did it.

Kind of a funny suggestion when you know Hans Asperger was a Nazi psychiatrist who supported exterminating autistic people precisely because they typically LACKED the characteristics (eg ability to read social cues, need for social approval) required to make people submit to supremacist groupthink.

As someone who spent years reporting on Zuckerberg, I've struggled to find something coherent to say about today. Then @cwarzel.bsky.social reminded me of my old reporting. This is what a FB employee said to me in 2020 after Zuckerberg addressed workers following FB-enabled violence in Kenosha, WI.

Screenshot from a 2020 BuzzFeed News story that reads:

One employee who spoke with BuzzFeed News after the event was not comforted by their CEO’s words.

“He seems truly incapable of taking personal responsibility for decisions and actions at Facebook,” they said.

So, quick background, Australia’s pro-Israel attorney-general last year outlawed display of Nazi gestures & symbols, claiming it was happening at pro-Palestine protests. So far, a man was prosecuted for a swastika on a sign that read, “Israel is a Nazi state”. You know who hasn’t been prosecuted?
