๐จBREAKING: Two Israeli airstrikes have targeted a tent in the AlRais neighbourhood, southwest of Gaza City.
the problem is that too many in the dsa actually see themselves as loyal to both the dsa itself and the Democratic party whether they admit it or not. Be loyal to the proletariat and to socialism. You're not a democrat and using the ballot line is purely a strategy, one that
won't work if you take it to heart. right now is the most important time to be even more ruthless against the Democrats.
The amount of times I've heard this train of thought. Even from my own father.
๐จ โI DONโT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BLACK PEOPLE. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH NโโS.โ
A University of Northern Iowa student said that into a camera. Then she explained it carefully, like sheโd thought it through:
โThereโs a difference between Black and thereโs a difference between nโโs.โ
Her friend begged her to stop she knew exactly what was coming out of her mouth next.
She said it anyway.
Days have passed. No discipline announced. No consequences. Nothing.
UNI has heard every word on this tape. So have we.
Discipline or protection?

BREAKING: Israel declares its mission against Iran is not yet complete, vows preemptive action, and says Iran has now restarted its nuclear program.
"Regarding Iran, the mission is not yet complete. Iran is trying to renew its efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, alongside other grave efforts that place the State of Israel in real danger. We cannot accept these threats," Defence Minister Katz says.
Israel is "more determined than ever" to take preemptive action and pursue a proactive, offensive policy against Iran, he adds.
It is the first call for action against Iran by a senior Israeli official since the election. Herzog is tasking Gadi Eisenkot with forming a government today.

One of the most fascinating details in Cold War nuclear test footage is the mysterious vertical smoke trails visible moments before detonation. During the 1950s, military scientists needed a way to study the enormous shockwaves produced by atomic explosions, which were otherwise invisible to the naked eye. To make them visible, researchers launched small rockets into the sky shortly before each test, creating thin columns of smoke.
When the nuclear device exploded, the powerful shockwave tore through the smoke trails, bending and distorting them in midair. High-speed cameras captured these movements, allowing scientists to measure the shockwaveโs speed and better understand the blastโs destructive effects.
These eerie lines werenโt accidental. They were part of a carefully designed scientific experiment, revealing how researchers studied the devastating power of nuclear weapons during the Cold War.
A haunting reminder of the extraordinary science behind some of historyโs most destructive inventions.

Another simple material action "critical jews" can take in the "west":
Every time the Colonists take an action like this, issue a statement demanding the Jewish Lobby in your country condemn it or you will take the same action against them. In this case, dump shit outside a Jewish school if they don't condemn.
Israeli state sponsored terrorists aka settlers just rolled up to a school in al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, and dumped a tractor-load of garbage at the entrance while ITF soldiers stood there providing security.
This is the same village where settlers have already killed students near the school gates. The same school that had to fortify its walls and gates because parents were too scared to send their kids back after last yearโs killings.
But sure โ this is just โfriction.โ A minor quality-of-life issue. Nothing that rises to the level of an actual problem, unlike, say, a Palestinian kid throwing a stone.

Clear expression of white supremacist revisionist history. Haiti's poverty was deliberately manufactured by white powers as a direct punishment for the Haitian Revolution, the world's only successful revolt by enslaved people. ๐คก

I grew up in Jewish Detroit. I've been to services at most of the Reform, Conservative & many Orthodox shuls in Detroit.
100% of them are Zionist. 100% of them raise an apartheid flag. They encourage their congregates to donate to Friends of the IDF so as to get a tax break for donating for genocide.
Nearly all of them say the "prayer for the state of Israel" during Shabbat morning services. jewishvirtuallibrary.org/praโฆ
Most of them say the "prayer for the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces" during Shabbat morning services. masaisrael.org/resource/the-โฆ
These actions do not just make th community morally bankrupt ... but they of course endanger members of the Jewish community as well.
You make not like the phrase "hurt people hurt people"... but hurt people do in fact hurt people and facts do not give a flying fuck about your fragile genocidal ego.
So when will leaders of Jewish Detroit speak up & bring an end to our community's role in the mass murder of the Palestinian & Lebanese people?
When will our leaders stop adorning their institutions with symbols that represent apartheid & genocide to the vast majority of the world?
End this maddness.

I put a map of the "Yellow Line" on a topographic map of Gaza. It shows that Israel is pushing Palestinians into the lowest-lying parts of Gaza, ensuring that as many people as possible are flooded by cold water and sewage.
Let's be clear: This policy is intended to kill.

I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldnโt hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.
Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.
I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.
We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldnโt find a single dry place to put their children. They couldnโt even give them a few hours of sleep.
I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.
What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?
I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.
