james baldwin was so right when he said “the children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

The path to fascism is paved with compromising with fascists

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE...

See also the fact that both Obama and Biden could have and should have disbanded ICE, but instead used them to deport millions of people during their presidencies.

It's not "compromising with fascists", it is literally just being a fascist, please disavow yourself of the notion that Obama was not a fascist just because he was cordial and well-spoken about it.

Today, people in Oakland, California, Eugene, Oregon, and Chicago, Illinois have blocked major highways. Demonstrators in Minnesota blockaded an Amazon facility. Others from Canada to Australia have shut down ports and other infrastructure.

These courageous actions in solidarity with Palestinians are just one step towards stopping the genocide in Gaza, where the Israeli military has slaughtered over 34,000 people, the majority of whom are women and children.

It's up to us to create a world without colonial violence of any kind.

It's actually crazy talking to friends and relatives about what's going on because very few of them know that this is a retaliatory attack. I keep seeing people online call the attack unprovoked too.

So those who don't know, on April 1st Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus. The attack killed 7 of Iran’s military advisers including 3 senior commanders.

Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.

Iran's ambassador to Syria said the strike hit a consular building in the embassy compound and that his residence was on the top two floors. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.

This attack on the embassy is against international law. Embassies are protected sites. But instead of condemning the attack and putting pressure on Israel, the US has spent the past week and a half calling West Asian countries to put pressure on Iran, with Biden going as far as to warn Iran not to attack Israel and saying that his support for Israel is 'iron clad'.

The West, the UN, and UN Security Council have largely failed to condemn the attack which means Iran has no choice but to retaliate with force in order to prevent future attacks. Otherwise, the country will look vulnerable and weak, especially to the Israeli occupation government which has spent months bombing neighbouring countries like Syria and Lebanon

Shared YouTube data prompts civil liberty worries.

well that is an interesting development- the USA gov putting up specific content, sending it to people they don't like, and then subpoenaing all the visitors?

like this isn't shocking to me- i've seen broader asks from cops. but it's not great.

Here are some evacuation fundraisers from today:

Ghydaa Nabhan & Oday Moghari

They need help to get to Rafah and evacuate so Ghydaa can continue her treatment.

Kareem & His Family

Kareem is an ER surgeon with family members who have worsening medical conditions and can no longer stay in Gaza. They need help to evacuate to Egypt.

Moamin & His Family of 20

Moamin is SO CLOSE to their goal and being able to evacuate their huge family out of Gaza!!

Hassan & His Family of 10

Hassan has eight children in his family, and bed-ridden himself- facing the possibility of having his leg amputated. They are seeking to evacuate Gaza for better health and a more sterile environment.

Sara's Family

Sara's family is currently in Gaza, while her ill father made it to Egypt, much of her family is still in Gaza and wants nothing more than to get them out.

Alaa, Ola, & Hanaan

Alaa and Ola are both mothers of young children and are looking for support in the way of diapers, formula, passports, visas, etc. They're hope is to leave their home, as much as thay hurts to do.

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

All of these fundraisers are verified through this Linktree called Funds for Gaza.

GoFundMe's minimum required donation is $5.00 (USD). So if you can afford that, please consider sending some help these folks' way!

Or take a look at the Operation Olive Branch spreadsheet for more verified links to fundraisers to help people evacuate Gaza.

It takes less than five minutes (less if you already have a GoFundMe account) and it helps save peoples lives. So please donate if you can and if you can't at least reblog this!

As a former humanities student, I feel it is my duty to reblog this one.

A tech bro tried to convince me AI was amazing cause "you could make 30,000 screenplays in minutes" not realising that every single one would be shit, you'd have to sift through everything just to find some good bits, time wasted that could've been spent just writing a screenplay.

Technology Brothers know nothing about what goes into creating a work, other than the fact a work has been created to be exploited for cash. They see creativity as an investment opportunity, not a love for humanity.

Matthew Dow Smith: "Just remember: Arts & Humanities are so useless and pointless that Tech Bros were driven to spend billions of dollars to try and get a computer to do something that badly approximates something Arts & Humanities students could do half asleep and wired on coffee the night before the due date."
