UK military aid, arms, intelligence and decisions by government ministers have enabled Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

That’s why I’m proud to co-sponsor @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social’s bill for a full, independent public inquiry, like the one for the Iraq War. Truth matters. So does accountability.

I read Genocide Bad by @simkern.bsky.social recently, and am now in the middle of One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El-Akkad.

I highly recommend reading them together - they complement each other so well.

Warmongers in the 🇵🇰 and 🇮🇳 diasporas are a special breed of stupid.

Not only are you miles away from the consequences of your bloodthirsty sentiments, you also don't have the excuse of not having access to balanced perspectives outside your nationalist propaganda bubbles.

Tf is wrong with y'all.

losing US support (without a similar backer ready to step in) would be utterly fatal to israel, which is why it always does exactly what the US says the moment it insists. biden could have insisted on a ceasefire at any point, but never did

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital.

You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library.

You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library.

You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library.

You want sourced info? Library.

misinformation is a very real issue, the problem was it was folded into a power-flattering pseudo epistemology where only grimy foreigners and YouTubers were capable of doing it when some of the biggest promoters of misinformation are the NYT and Atlantic. This bred cynicism and indifference.
Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.

Still no retraction from the NYT on their totally debunked "Screams Without Words" incitement propaganda, and still silence from so many prominent western feminists about the many well documented instances of systemic sexual violence in Israeli prisons.

Reading the interviews of Gabriel García Márquez and this passage stands out to me, from the 1970s but relevant in this time, that in this era the fight must be for collective happiness, which as he astutely describes, is the only kind of just happiness

The breadth of denialism of the genocide of Palestinians is still astounding to me bc of just how much dehumanization it requires.

Never in history have we seen an extermination of a nation play out in front our eyes so explicitly and never has there been this breadth and effort put into denial.

There is enough food to feed Gaza. Israel is hindering its delivery. The famine that is looming for millions of Palestinians is, like all modern famines, a choice
Opinion | Famine is always a choice. Gaza is no exception.
More than 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are struggling to find enough food to eat. Israel’s policies in its war on Hamas have made it this way.

Y'all, the latest newsletter from Devon Price is great. Long, but great. It's on how to be an activist while autistic, but the principles apply to disability, to sheer fucking lack of spoons, to everyone.

Sustainable activism.
