How convenient that the country with the Dahiya doctrine says civilians are storing weapons in their houses, because their military doctrine says they were going to blow those houses up anyway with the stated intention of intimidating civilians.

If Trump was president and sending $ to "Israel" the neo libs would be pushing so hard for a ceasefire/arms embargo, saying he's participating in genocide and condemning him for it. But they wouldn't actually care like they didn't actually care and forgot about the kids who are still in cages.
Heartbreaking messages from Queering The Map Don’t let Israel fool you. They have harmed and killed countless of our queer siblings. Queer people live everywhere. 🏳️🌈🇵🇸🌈🍉
Worth noting Carnegie did this when faced with massive strikes and growing radical movements around the country. 1886 was the same year as Haymarket. His business partner/enforcer was literally shot by an anarchist. Public libraries are great but he and his ilk funded them because they were scared.

Sometimes people ask me about the super rich in Renaissance Florence, whether the art/culture/science boom was an example of trickle-down working. (A) Florence had a wealth tax, (B) its richest man Palla Strozzi had the equivalent of only $250 million. Want more Leonardos? Tax the Rich. 🎨🧑🎨🖌🎭🔭🖼📚📐🏛🎻💰
Just a reminder that if you see someone sharing Gaza fundraising links instead of reporting them as spam you can send them this so that they can make sure they don’t get labeled and help their cause (it has an Arabic translation too)
it's a commonplace by now but it bears repeating: respectability won't save anyone. you don't have to _like_ the "weirdos" and "perverts" but you do have to recognize that the fash don't think you're any better.
