We live in a deranged culture when someone like Elon Musk can retweet white nationalists twice in a week and we just shrug it off. The guy involved in the Presidency, richest man in the world, who controls major comms platform, thinks white nationalist opinion is reasonable.

Atrocious 😢💔😖
Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care.

Israel burns northern Gaza’s last functioning hospital; patients and staff forcibly removed
Isreali military vehicles surrounded the hospital, the Palestinian Health Ministry said, and communications had been cut off.

Pope Francis on Saturday repeated his call for a ceasefire in Gaza as he unveiled this year's nativity scene at the Vatican, portraying baby Jesus in a crib lined with a Palestinian keffiyeh.
Pope Francis also called on U.S. authorities to commute the sentences of prisoners on death row.

Check out this recent book excerpt I wrote (w/ Ben Lorber) about how to build synagogue safety away from cops and prisons.
In an excerpt from their new book Safety Through Solidarity, @benlorber8.bsky.social and @shaneburley.bsky.social unpack how radicalization shapes the experience of Jewish safety and how activists build community safety and intersectional solidarity: politicalresearch.org/2024/11/15/s...

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in.
The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers.
This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.
