”America is ruled, now, by men who are extremely psychologically transparent: their resentment and greed, their desperate, seeking needfulness, their insecurity and rage at those who provoke it; these things seep off these men, like a stench. They are evil men, and pathetic ones: mentally small, morally ugly. They are relentlessly predictable.

Here is another prediction: these men will not succeed in all their schemes. They will not deport as many people as they say they will; he will not change the law as much as they pledge to; they will not, cannot, capture the institutions as completely, or bury dissent as successfully. They cannot do everything they aim to do. Because politics is not over; because our institutions are not all collapsed; and because the existing institutions are not the only methods of resistance and refusal.

The Trumpist movement that ascended to power on Monday is relying on a tired, defeated America, one too diminished to do anything but submit to their demands and schemes. But the American spirit is indefatigable: it loves freedom and equality, abhors tyranny, values minding your own business and hates, above all, to be told what to do. When Trump was last in office, Americans found, at the end, that they did not like it. They will not like it now, either, and that dislike, however tardy, will have political consequences.”

The consistent dehumanization language used in describing Palestinians in western media is unfathomable. The consistent denial of seeing our children as children. For everybody seeing this, don't fall into this, seek out the truth and educate yourself because that's the best and only way we can help people in Palestine. We have to amplify their voices.

REMINDER TO NOT TALK TO THE GUARDIAN ABOUT DIY HRT IF ASKED ❗️❗️❗️

Susanna Rustin is a huge TERF too, and a quick search of her name on The Guardian brings up repeated proof.

It's funny seeing this thread since it reminds me of a part of the podcast documentary Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem by the Martyr Made podcast. Where he mentions that during the early days of the Zionist project the Guardian was pro Zionist while the Daily Mail was pro-Palestinian. Granted this was back in the 20's and he didn't mention the Telegraph. But it is interesting to see how stances have changed over time.

The Telegraph just confirmed that being against genocide is being against Israel.

The Guardian have announced they'll no longer post on Twitter from its official accounts.

A lot can change in a week. An exodus from Twitter can only be a good thing.

" Men in Gaza do cry.

When they lose their homes that they spend their

whole lives building, they cry

When they see their dreams and hopes getting destroyed, they cry.

When they realise how scary and uncertain their future is, they cry.

And because they are human beings, full of feelings and emotions, they cry."

This is an excerpt from a 35-year-old Palestinian's account of life in Gaza under siege.

Ziad has been writing for the Guardian about the realities of the Israeli bombardment, as he, his sister and their pets, flee their home in Gaza City in the hope of survival.

We're close now to the first anniversary of the Gaza genocide. Over 17,000 children have been killed directly by the Israeli military, and this is what the Guardian decides to publish (with a blood smeared doll as its "illustrative" photo!)

By April, it was estimated that Israel had dropped 70,000 tons of bombs over Gaza, indiscriminatingly bombing civilian homes and infrastructure with no impunity. The UN made a statement in August saying that 80% of all buildings have been destroyed. But apparently, if you think there is a correlation here between the actions of the Israeli military, and the number of dead children in Gaza, then clearly, you must be antisemtic!

I don't expect much from the Western press, but this is genuinely one of the most vile and depraved pieces of "journalism" I've ever seen. And as Jonathan Cook, former writer for the Guardian notes, a whole "army" of journalists had to sign off on this for Jacobson to get his genocide denial in print:

Head of UK’s leading anti-monarchy group arrested at coronation protest

Republic’s Graham Smith held at protest on King Charles III’s procession route in central London

Daniel Boffey Chief reporter, Sat 6 May 2023 08.31 BST

The head of the UK’s leading republican movement has been arrested at an anti-monarchist protest on King Charles III’s procession route.

Graham Smith had been collecting drinks and placards for demonstrators at Trafalgar Square when he was detained by police on the Strand in central London.

It is understood Smith was detained after bringing a megaphone to the demonstration. The Met police had tweeted earlier this week that they would have a “low tolerance” of those seeking to “undermine” the day.

Harry Stratton, a director at Republic, who arrived as Smith and the others were detained, said: “They were collecting the placards and bringing them over when the police stopped them.

“The guys asked why and they were told: we will tell you that once we have searched the vehicle. That’s when they arrested the six organisers. We asked on what grounds they had been arrested but they wouldn’t say. It is a surprise as we had had a number of meetings with the police. They had been making all the right noises”.
