Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

New poll shared exclusively with Zeteo: Americans say it’s a genocide in Gaza by a margin of 14 points.

This is who New York Times' Joe Kahn thinks is reliable, credible source for a story about a non-white man running for Mayor of New York.

Perth researchers scanned 60 adults ~3 months after mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and found lingering aortic inflammation on PET scans, stronger than in people with high cardiovascular risk but no COVID. Even non-hospitalized cases showed vascular effects. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Multiple Western Press Outlets Have Suddenly Pivoted Hard Against Israel After a year and a half of genocidal atrocities, the editorial boards of numerous British press outlets have suddenly come out hard against Israel’s genocidal onslaught in Gaza. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/multiple-w...

Democrats have almost endless money, power, access, media control, and soft power, and yet have not accomplished anything for ordinary working people in decades. In that same span they have helped their corporate donors reap unimaginable profits. They don’t give a good God damn about you.

Our solidarity with Burkina Faso and Ibrahim Traoré is unwavering. Imperialism’s Black faces, Langley, Obama, Rice, hide its violence. From Sankara to Lumumba, the West crushes liberation abroad while oppressing us here. The fight is global, organize, resist, and build dual power! #Generalstrikeus

"Cory Booker talked for 25 hours. So what. It wasn't even really a filibuster. A true filibuster brings attention to something you want to defeat. It's worse to be impressed with trivialities." redmenace.libsyn.com/farce-financ...

Here’s the thing about a strike: we can’t call one until we’re ready. If we do, the government will know to just wait us out. We won’t be able to last as long as we need to to be successful. And this doesn’t just mean everyone needs to sign a strike card. There’s so much more.

How a fully decentralized strike card works. Other groups & organizations can host their own strike card, which only reports back numbers. People too. Eventually, hundreds, if not thousands, are collecting commitments, making this safer and easier to get to 3.5%. drive.proton.me/urls/WED1W4D...

Been thinking about this Zappa quote a lot lately.

What was Cory Booker filibustering? What did he say? Is he still hanging out with Israeli war criminals?

The word “terrorist” is a meaningless tool of imperial narrative control. Want to bomb some people? Designate them as terrorists. Want to silence protesters and dissidents? Say they’re supporting terrorists. Want sweeping surveillance powers? Say you need them to fight terrorism.

Y’all ready for this?

A thread of interdimensional portals I've found on walks in the British countryside.

Did you know Netanyahu was due in court today for his corruption trial? It was postponed because to the resumption of the war. How many children have to die to keep one man out of prison?

Nikihk (nikihk.ca) is an Indigenous (Cree) owned company in Saskatchewan that makes all kinds of cleaning products for kitchen and laundry, and also some body soaps. They are eco-friendly and Sobeys carries it or you can buy online. I can't imagine ANYTHING being more Canadian than this! 🇨🇦🇨🇦 ⬇️⬇️

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

“you might not realize just how far its tracking reach extends, into the places you go, the purchases you make, and more. It's an extensive set of data, but you can take more control over what Google collects about you and how long it keeps it.” Or….just opt out www.wired.com/story/google...

The Trump administration is using claims of antisemitism to cripple universities--along w/ independent media--because they are centers of resistance to authoritarian rule. And the ADL is applauding this assault on liberal democracy. What a shameful moment in American Jewish history.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

I was recently a guest on the Beirut based network Al Mayadeen. I discussed USAID’s role as an agency providing needed aid to millions of people while also being an agent for US interference and regime change plots. youtu.be/iwm6MDGzV1o?...

Maybe the solution wasn't to add an X to the set of genders on passports, but to eliminate gender from passports. Hell.. eliminate passports. Similar to that the solution isn't to increase opportunity to participate in capitalism

I am nonbinary. The gender that no longer officially exists in the United States. I was offered the chance to change my gender designation to "X" on my passport and driver's license in 2023. I decided not to and here's why.

This exactly. We all know who they mean when they say “woke” or “dei”. Do something. Call them out.

Stop saying DEI. Stop fighting these people on the rhetorical battleground of their choosing. Stop letting ghouls like Rufo set the terms of all discussions and reality itself. Stop walking right into the hands of think-tanks and institutes that have set this up for the benefit of the wealthy.
