austerity is theft 🇿🇦(@wideofthepost) 's Twitter Profile Photo

A 2/3 supermajority of Democratic and Independent voters oppose (!) what a 4/5 supermajority of Democratic lawmakers just voted to do.

Stop constantly telling me that 'democracy is on the ballot.' None of you know or care what that word means.

Much of this 'aid' is just corporate welfare for the death merchants at Lockheed and Raytheon, granted through government-authorized wage theft from American workers. This is what Congress exists to do.

This is a shameful moment in the history of the United States Congress. It’s a shameful moment for this administration, as well. But ultimately, it’s the American people who pay the price for this sort of thing. And sooner or later, we will. 5/10

The administration and intelligence committee leaders buried senators in a morass of misleading and, in some cases, flatly false statements throughout the week. I think of myself as pretty jaded, and I was still genuinely shaken by how many lies I heard. 4/10

The provision effectively grants the NSA access to the communications equipment of almost any U.S. business, plus huge numbers of organizations and individuals. It’s a gift to any president who may wish to spy on political enemies, journalists, ideological opponents, etc. 3/10

Why did Google just fire 28 workers?

They tried to stop the company's role in 'powering' Israel's AI-enabled genocide. They've seen the tools from the inside and couldn't stand for it.

BT followed the historic day of tech worker action with No Tech For Apartheid

Yesterday Liel Liebovitz of Tablet Magazine said “There’s no problem with American higher education that a few rounds of artillery will not solve.” As Israel loses favor with Americans under 40, its most strident supporters are losing their minds open.spotify.com/episode/4aa4aT…

and Barnard College is the one evicting students & giving them 15 min to retrieve belongings from their own dorms. Dean Grinage and Laura Rosenbury are downright villainous for leaving young women with no housing the same night many of them got out of jail.

That so many climate/enviro researchers are experts at compartmentalizing their work from broader analyses of power does not bode well for the future. That so many feign righteous anger over science denialism but not genocide or the suppression of free speech is unconscionable.

They are now trying to kill them by dehydration. 😞

Israel has (a) turned off the water line to Gaza, (b) bombed desalination plants leaving most inoperable, and (c) refused to let fuel in to power the desalination plants.

This has led to an extreme water shortage—and extreme

Yale students have been occupying Beinecke plaza since April 15 & on hunger strike since April 12. They’ve been escalating their divestment demands for months. Incredibly proud of them & our FJP-Yale for protecting & supporting them. We will see a free Palestine in our lifetime.

After the Israeli government:
–kills 34,000+ people
–escalates war in the region
–kills hundreds of journalists, doctors, volunteers & aid workers (such as 7 World Central Kitchen workers, including an American)
…193 Republicans & 173 Democrats vote to give it $26 billion more
