Germany got me back to writing about oppressive security apparatus stuff. In this piece I simply point out how mediocre Germany's domestic intelligence agency is by creating a laughable but seriously harmful document on secular pro Palestinian extremism. theleftberlin.com/germanys-ver...

Germany’s Verfassungsschutz report on pro-Palestinian secular extremism

Why grant Trump officials anonymity to say this, when it doesn’t match everything we know and have seen on Trump’s social media accounts for years? And when only a few hours ago, the White House press secretary was practically defending the post and dismissing criticism of it as “fake outrage”?
1 hour ago
Erica L. Green White House correspondent
凸
A White House official, who asked for anonymity to discuss internal
discussions, said the racist video of the Obamas was published on the president's social media account by a "staffer" who
"erroneously made the post." A second person familiar with the decision to take the post down, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the staffer had posted the clip without the president's knowledge.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Every time Israel violates international law and commits war crimes, the west says that Israel has a right to defend itself. This has become so lame, but it's a giant fuck you to any kind of equality among people, this is western supremacism.
