Islamists (former Al Qaeda), fighting to overthrow anti-Zionist and anti-imperialist Syria and who do behead victims, are called by media and US Gov "Rebels" and "resistance fighters". Hamas, first fighting apartheid, now genocide, are called "terrorists". Didn't know? Do now.

If your critiques about what’s going on has to do with how horrible Trump is or his nominees are, instead of how horrible the American duopoly and capitalism is - I have no interest in your “thinking”

Elon Musk's twitter just banned me, without giving any reason. I didn't get any post that was flagged, no infraction, no warning, nothing. Just suspended. So I suspect it is because I have been exposing the propaganda of the genocidal Israeli regime and its supporters, including recently Bill Ackman

Weirdly funny to look back at, for instance, Putin being the evil thing for the planet. Putin! Or Xi or Iran or Cuba - there's always a new one to distract from the real evil. "Brainwashing" seems like such a weak descriptor. How so many don't see what's right in front of them...

Most of my posts now are on behalf of the Palestinians because I think we're all Palestinians, and the worst of what's happening is coming here eventually. The choices are resistance, compliance or support. The latter two are collaboration. I beg you not to collaborate.

You don't have to be Nostradamus to predict everything coming to a head in 2024. Among other events, the Democrats will do a total reveal that even the most credulous Dem voter will have to concede is not democratic.

If, on US social media, we’re free to say “destroy Iran” or “turn Gaza into a parking lot” but could face expulsion from platforms for “from the river to the sea” or “read Bin Laden’s letter to America” - we are living somewhere, but it’s not in a democracy

By the logic of the brilliant loser to Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, you could argue against having a ceasefire in every conflict, because the other side would take advantage of the time to prepare for more fighting. Genius. Can’t see how she lost to a rich, goofy game show host.

Imagine... thinking Trump or other GOP are SO bad and dangerous for US, that they uncritically go with Biden Administration participation in genocide out of fear of endangering election prospects in 2024. Imagine those people thinking they hold the moral high ground. IMAGINE
