Palestinian detainee Thaer Abu Asab was beaten to death by Israeli prison guards in Ketziot Prison in November 2023 after he asked whether a ceasefire in Gaza had taken effect, according to Israeli prosecutors and prisoner testimonies. Around 90 Palestinians have been tortured to death in Israeli

when conservatives say “facts don’t care about your feelings” you need to understand that it is not meant to say they are committed to facts but that they are committed to creating a form of epistemological dictatorship where no one is able to disagree with their obvious lies.

The U.S. described updating world maps to show the *correct* size of Africa (and everything else) as a “radical ideological project”

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.

We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.

It’s surreal living in a world where Israel’s national security minister posts an AI video of himself sending emaciated, crying Palestinian men to a Nazi-style death camp and it barely makes noise

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

yes i know "reddit atheists" were annoying and reactionary, that's what happens when you let any cultural space be dominated by cis men. it's not a good reason to wrap the world's biggest and oldest genocide-and-child-abuse machine in bubble wrap and declare it an uwu softboi

The paradigm will continue to die because the two main groups which could propel its resurrection, US liberals and German centrists, won't do it any time soon.

How many students were kicked off their campuses for protesting this stuff? It's not just the psychotic openly genocidal propaganda, it's that the people in power in the US made it so that if you criticize this openly, your life could be destroyed.

Ben Gvir posted this video on twitter today which shows fat and happy Palestinians on a conveyer built going through the Israeli "prison" (torture camp) system and coming out emaciated and maudlin. This is textbook genocidal content.

Reminder that the U.S. State Department drew up sanctions on Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich in December 2023 but these were rejected by Biden in January 2024.

However, several U.S. officials had misgivings about expanding the program. Biden rejected proposals to sanction Ben Gvir and Smotrich, reportedly because he was hesitant to sanction elected members of a close partner country.46 Senior members of his administration felt the sanctions should focus narrowly on settler violence rather than the broader settlement enterprise, and wanted to restrict the listing to individuals and organizations directly involved in violent acts against Palestinians.47 Others worried that expanded measures could affect American charities or donors who fund settlement organizations, something that they felt would unfairly target those with different views than the Biden administration and prompt accusations of free speech violations. Indeed, dual U.S.-Israeli citizens ended up suing the government in August 2024.48 After Trump won the election, most officials recognized that he would likely scrap the program, and did not want to provide him with further rationale to do so.49
