"Gaza is far worse and in a different context, but crises like ours barely receive a fraction of the attention and outrage Gaza does. International law is just another myth we’ve created to convince ourselves we’re civilized.”

I'm sure we'd all be interested in knowing what exactly the "good" was about slavery.

It’s not the Florida gulag, or even Trump’s recent claims that poor job numbers were “fixed,” that defy plausibility, it’s public acquiescence and journalistic deference.

Why does Doctors Without Borders (MSF) still have nothing to say about how its staff and those with UN operations faced regular beatings, intimidation, and threats from Tigrayan forces during the TPLF war?

"It should be the right of any person to move freely in this world and to find a home where they want. Freedom of movement has been warped into a privilege for the well-off few instead of a basic right that should be accessible to every human being."

He told me the story of how he visited a jail in Addis Ababa. He walked in on a police officer beating a man close to death. “I was shocked,” he tells me. The man’s crime? Simply carrying pro-Fano music.

Now the lawyer is considered a criminal.

"Excuse me, please
My friends were sitting in the Al Baqa café
Just before your friends rained death in a flash and made them splinters of bone.
So I ask in the name of those under rubble
What words do we have permission to use?..."

Some leftists, liberals, and progressives are embracing the most despicable autocrats of the past, even as sensible leftists struggle against autocrat Trump. It's incredibly dangerous. #Iran #Uganda #ClimateAction

"A fascist regime doesn’t care about your show of solidarity and your numbers. If it cared about numbers, it wouldn’t be a fascist regime in the first place, with a cult around one lunatic..."
I suggest better ways to fight back.

"Don't let that run in your vacation plans?" Are you kidding? Your federal assholes are arresting legal residents and innocent visa renewal applicants and tossing them into foreign prisons, including OUR people. And we're supposed to just ignore all that and go to Disneyland?

Albert Camus writing in a French Resistance newspaper about those who don't want to care about the war or the Nazi occupiers:

"There is only one fight, and if you don't join it, your enemy will nevertheless supply you with daily proof that the fight is yours."

We're long overdue to talk about the violent psychopaths known as Brigade Nhamedu and the cynically slanted, positive coverage a terrorism group gets on Western news sites. Read more here:

Some creep thinks it's entertaining to depict Black women boiling a white girl in a pot. I don't think it's funny. I bet you don't think it's funny either. Here's the story about him.

So a nice friend just sent me this. Last 13 minutes of Episode 1 of #TheResidenceNetflix. Look who shows up?

Also... Holy crap! 😳

I'd just like to point out to every asshole who sneers at Canada and thinks we're a pushover for "annexation," we look forward to your gov't's incredible dumbassery to help us ultimately win any confrontation.

I find this mildly hilarious. My roommate shared with me this mailed doc from Pfizer because of the tiny amount of stock they own. Note how the Board "recommends against" a vote on golden parachutes or issuing a report on religious discrimination against employees.

Atheists love this stuff and love passing it around, and I am an atheist. But I'm also a witness to perfectly nice Ethiopian Christians getting persecuted in their own land, and Armenian Christians are also getting brutalized. So no, I'm not onboard with this smug thought anymore.

I wholeheartedly agree. I support Ukraine, always have.

My problem is I also consider these victims my brothers and sisters and cousins. So should you.

They are Amhara. They also have been betrayed.

And the world doesn't even KNOW that this is now normal in Ethiopia.

This human skid mark thinks it's clever and funny to threaten people with deportation because he doesn't like their opinions. This is why my country will make life a living hell for Trump's creeps if his government tries to annex Canada.

I'm a writer and I've been a talk show host. This clown whom some fools take for a great intellectual resorts to the kind of crass baiting and insults you expect of Trump's lapdogs.

If you got to boast about your reach, you're not as powerful or influential as you think.

Hey, Black Alliance for Peace, before you lecture anyone on global struggles... Where the hell have you been for persecuted Ethiopians?
Let’s talk about your appalling nonsense over Ukraine and failure to step up for persecuted Amhara.
