My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Dr Derek Summerfield: "1,700 health professionals have been killed in Gaza.. a number are in prison.. they wanted to make an example of [Dr Hussam Abu Safiya].. he has clearly been under torture & starvation.. Israel has impunity, impunity is the key to understand these things"
Frida Kahlo born 6th July 1907: "They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality."

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

Terrible news: the Court of Appeal has just ruled that the Government’s ban on Palestine Action is lawful. PA is now likely to lodge an appeal before the Supreme Court. So the mass arrests of peaceful people sitting with cardboard signs will continue. Because that is what terrorism looks like ...
