Human rights are interconnected.
Biden & “left Zionists” confuse it, but we cannot ignore rampant anti-Palestinian bigotry & expect rampant anti-trans bigotry not to grow stronger.
Supremacist ideologies are always deadly & sadistic.

Only the middle one is wrong.
Netanyahu has never been defence minister, but he was the one who provided the seed funding for Hamas.
The thing about Palestinians is that being multi-religious is a national identity, so fighting a Holy War against them is hard…until an Islamic wing came into money.

When “progressive democrats” are so committed to a shockingly brutal colonial genocide that might be part of why they seems a little irrelevant, no?
This is what neoliberalism incubates.

Cried while doing a reading at a Palestine fundraiser last night.
So as someone with recent experience of public tears, these two observations from the article resonate:
—as we grow older we cry more for others than ourselves… 💔
—we cry out of a sense of hopelessness… 💔

I love a cry, but I was annoyed with myself in this case in those circumstances because it distracts from the point.
But as people came to talk to me after, I realised we have been shedding many private tears & my public tears were received by some almost as a relief.

I knew crying was a risk for that piece, knew my high-risk spots, got through them then faulted later.
So, as a recent highly public crier, these two observations from the article resonate today:
—as we grow older we cry more for others than ourselves… 💔
—we cry out of a sense of hopelessness… 💔

What two things are the same?
Denying vaccines work and denying that Israel is committing USA-sponsored genocide.
The evidence for both is overwhelming & there is clear consensus.

Any nation committing genocide and apartheid has to really nurture sadism. If anyone wants to know what the colonisers of the USA and Australian and Canada sounded like, listen to Israelis today. The whole “they didn’t know better” line is a manufactured story to get them off the hook.
