Everywhere, reactionaries in politics are the same: they try to blur truth, increase bile & anger, exhaust everyone, and convince the public that no one can be trusted (ie, only a Strong Man can fix it). Those are the circumstances in which reactionaries flourish.

No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the…

This is a devastating story.

In the past year alone, 110 square kms of land has been forcibly annexed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank—more land than all the settlements since 1967 combined—pushing Bedouins out through violence and intimidation.

My Jewish values don’t include slaughter, collective punishment, the intentional starving of people, ethnic cleansing, genocide. My Jewish values cry out, CEASEFIRE NOW!

The alleged shooter in the ME massacre reportedly had a history of violence and mental illness. Yet he was a gun instructor and slaughtered innocent victims with an assault weapon.
This is intolerable.
When we talk about rights, how about the rights of the dead and wounded?

BREAKING: Chevron and other oil giants are spending millions to try to crush climate activists by pushing draconian anti-protest laws at the state level. Stunning report by Greenpeace USA.

Harming the planet and crushing protest is how they roll. ⤵️

I believe that Israel has a right to bring anyone involved in the 7/10 attacks to justice…

But they do not have a right to indiscriminately bomb civilians.

Gaza is made up of 40% children…

The death toll is 40% children.

This is indiscriminate bombing and a war crime.

There’s something deeply cynical about asking God to solve a problem that you’re not willing to solve yourself. That’s not “prayer.” That’s perpetrating a fiendish con to cover your profit off the assault rifle body count.

This is where my house once stood. This is where my parents prepared my flat to start my own ‘happy’ family.

This is where all my memories shaped and where I spent my childhood.

This is also where I lost over 20 of my family.

Nine are still under rubble, 6 days aftermath.

The destruction of forests in the Congo and Amazon basin is not just environmental vandalism,it's a direct attack on our future. It's time to prioritize the protection of these vital ecosystems and halt the vicious cycle of deforestation

Republicans in Congress wear AR-15 pins where their American flag pins used to be.

Let that sink in for a moment.

They pledge allegiance to a machine that slaughters children for profit — rather than the country and flag and Constitution they swore to protect.

A rich dude gives Clarence Thomas a loan to buy a $267,000 loan for an RV. Thomas makes interest-only payments for a while, then rich dude just forgives the loan. He basically gave Thomas a $267K RV. Every other judge in America would already be removed. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/o…

In about 4 minutes, the shooter who murdered my son Daniel shot 154 bullets, killing 20 children and six educators. That's why I'm gathering 100,000 petition signatures demanding Congress prohibit the sale of assault weapons. Will you add your name?

I know most of you don’t follow me for my opinions on Israel-Palestine. But I just can’t turn away from it. It is the worst atrocity of my adult life - 2m people locked in a small area, getting bombed and starved with nowhere to go. Truly horrific. I feel compelled to speak out.

Gen Z is recoiling from the hollow nightmare of commute-heavy 9-5 work life in America. Make fun of them all you want, but they're right.

Speaker Mike Johnson tonight: “Someone asked me today in the media, ‘People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue?’ I said, ‘Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it. That’s my worldview.”

One thing I think about sometimes is how recent the world's energy abundance is.

And yet we take it for granted like it has just always been this way and that we are owed it.

My father was born at the green dot below- the oil age was barely even getting going yet.

1/The anti-protest legislation being used to arrest and jail climate activists, like Greta Thunberg this week, was essentially drafted by think tank Policy Exchange

Rishi Sunak publicly thanked them for it

Policy Exchange is funded by oil companies
