My old roommate had this poster hanging in our living room when the landlord was trying to sell and refused to take it down so it ended up in the listing pictures. Freddy got us at least a few extra months at the place.

Where are the big names that proclaim themselves as brave, bold, as telling things as they are? The network figureheads, the Washington mainstays? Israeli forces have killed some 245 journalists in the past 22 months. Journalists who were also people, just like anyone else, and who had to become bigger than life, in order to justify themselves to viewers thousands of miles away. People who had been forced every single day to report on the devastation of their own land, their own families. People who would cover an airstrike that killed their children and, by sheer necessity, continue to report on the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different.

How many murdered Palestinian journalists will it take for the mainstream press’s cowardly fever to break?

I'm past trying to convince national Democrats of stuff, and posting on social media wouldn't do that anyway. But I really believe that there is an immense latent appetite in this country to BURY these fucking bullies, here and elsewhere, and that doing so is work many people want to be a part of.

This may be one of the worst moments in history to fetishize the law or the quality of being law-abiding.

Aside from being a terrible idea, it’s hard to imagine that this is actually true. There’s no quick or easy way to digitize 14,000 tapes, it’s far more likely that they just threw them in the trash or didn’t do anything at all.

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

As with the government's staged perp walk of Luigi Mangione in a cartoonishly huge, dark cloud of guards geared out for combat, the Salvadoran video is so attached to the imagery of power as to forfeit any ordinary claim to high ground. Whoever the stooped and harried figures may have been before, whatever they may have done, the faceless figures doing the harrying are the villains—acting in a frenzy of malice and cowardice, with the impunity of people who know that any violence could only possibly flow one way. 

This is, I think, the obvious and natural response to the video. But the existence of the video certifies that it is not the only response; the people who made and shared it felt differently. They had been trained, or had trained themselves, to feel differently. Donald Trump campaigned for president surrounded by menacing images of dark-skinned, tattooed men, telling stories of terrible crimes, warning his public that this was the menace that had been unleashed on them and that only he could stop it. Maybe if a person had soaked in that fear long enough, the sight of the masked guards making the prisoners crouch and flinch and scurry would feel like a relief. Clearly, historically, people by the millions have been taught this other way of seeing. For years now, while I've been packing lunches and ordering cat food and doing the laundry—and while, presumably, other people have been doing similar ordinary things—those other people have been working themselves toward this.

After repeatedly violating every single commitment under the ceasefire, Israel is now fully resuming the genocide of the already destroyed Gaza concentration camp. The world is watching. History will remember who stood on the sidelines of this unspeakable atrocity.

This just makes his decision to vote for Trump’s cruel immigration bill last week look even more cowardly and depraved. Still licking the boot on his way out, a perfect end to a career as an empty vessel for corporate interests. Hope he drives his motorcycle in to Lake Superior and never knows peace

What is wrong with you? These attacks killed a small child in front of her family and are very obviously a war crime. Trying to pretend this is all no big deal so it doesn’t hurt the democrats has rotted your conscience
