BREAKING: This is Beirut right now. Israel is MASSIVELY bombing Lebanon’s capital in the middle of the night — deliberately wiping out apartment block after apartment block. Civilian homes. Residential buildings. No justification. Just pure terror.🤬🤬🤬🤬

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

This is the final frontier of genocide.  Israeli air strikes killed over 250 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip in the past 48 hours, including over 100 Palestinians last night. There are reports of entire families trapped or missing under the rubble.

We are about to witness the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Another genocide. Future historians will ask how it is possible that we all knew about it, yet did nothing. But we already know the answer: we have allowed that a people was completely dehumanized. Again. www.axios.com/2025/05/05/i...

Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip

Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.

Heartbreaking: Today afternoon in Rafah, the Israeli forces opened fire at a child and killed him. He apparently was riding his donkey heading back “home.” When a man tried to drag him away, he was shot at. Why why why why !!!!!??????!???? Trump: enjoy your inauguration, mr. Peacemaker. I’m sick.

My take on all the Trump genuflection: Once you have convinced yourself you can stay silent on a genocide unfolding live on your phone, you can stay silent/make peace with pretty much anything. Israel has blown a massive hole in our moral universe and now pretty anything can drive through it.

For @theguardian.com I wrote about how Gaza has split the academic field of genocide studies. As one scholar put it, “Where can the field stand if scholars from within and around it are unwilling to call the behaviour out?” My latest. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
