Bezos explicitly directs the Washington Post to publish pro-corporate propaganda so readers never hear criticism of "free markets."
This is the American conservative philosophy: free markets until the market produces a result we don’t like, and free speech until it’s leftist speech.

know that it’s better to speak out against fascism & learn openly than to remain silent & avoid “saying the wrong thing.” your silence is the wrong thing.

This past week saw multiple additional international humanitarian and human rights groups call what is happening in Gaza a genocide being committed by Israel including @msf.ca, @hrw.org, and @amnesty.org. They all have a high threshold for this conclusion. It feels too little, too late.

Again, @haaretzcom.bsky.social reporting what western MSM is too cowardly to.
'Of 200 bodies, only 10 were confirmed as Hamas members': IDF soldiers who served in Gaza tell Haaretz that anyone who crosses an imaginary line in the contested Neztarim corridor is shot to death, with every Palestinian casualty counting as a terrorist – even if they were just a child”
IDF soldiers expose arbitrary killings and rampant lawlessness in Gaza's Netzarim corridor

More than 45,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to the territory's health authorities. More than half are women and children.
That's the official death toll, but the true figure is believed to be much higher.

Capitalism is driving the destruction of our planet. We have to think outside – and against – the framework of our current political system

Heavily cited this @lizpelly.bsky.social piece in my 2020 paper on the erosion of music as a public commons. It’s a great illustration of how neoliberal capitalism is wrecking one of our most vital forms of community, connection and collective visioning: the arts! A great read, highly recommend.
Spotify Wrapped isn’t just free advertising for the streaming giant. As @lizpelly.bsky.social explained back in 2020, the campaign also reinforces the toxic idea that music’s value is determined solely by its number of streams.
