If a guy across town stabs someone and burns his house down, that's not *necessarily* my problem...

...unless I'm the one providing the knife and kerosene, and am defending his actions and protecting him from consequence.

That's why we protest the genocide in Gaza from within the imperial core.

I wish Zionists who stand with Ukraine would just admit to themselves that they think civilians being besieged by a belligerent foreign aggressor is only wrong when the civilians are white and totally fine when the civilians are Brown.

Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

Happy Henry-Kissinger's-Finally-Fucking-Dead anniversary to us all!!

On this day last year, the news broke that Kissinger finally went the way of tens of thousands of Cambodian villagers. Good riddance!

Hasan Piker rightly pushes back on the idea that the Democrats simply need their own Joe Rogan, telling CNN "It's 100% a policy thing," calling for "real left-wing economic populist messaging instead of purposely avoiding that stuff because they're terrified of upsetting their corporate donors."

Israeli Minister of Communications Shlomo Karhi has ordered a total government boycott of the critically-acclaimed and award-winning news source Haaretz, months after police shut down Al Jazeera offices in the country.

Kind of a weird move for a "free and democratic" society...

Ever notice how if you talk about how horrific the assault on Ukraine is and how it must stop, no one asks you to affirm Russia's right to exist?

Almost as if asking whether a state that definitely exists has the right to is a distraction from talking about that state's very real war crimes.

Just got yet another Palestinian flag for my car after the previous two were broken off and stolen.

Fun fact - flying this flag in public in "free and democratic" Israel is considered illegal.

Today is #WorldChildrensDay, which marks the UN's adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.

It's as good a time as any to remember that #Israel has killed at least 17,400 kids in Gaza, which works out to Israel murdering one child every 30 minutes.

So stoked for tonight's 15-0 Cavs game against the 11-3 Boston Celtics. It'll be a match of titans, but I've got Cleveland going a mind-blowing 16-0 tonight.

Who is your pick for tonight's game?
