.@taylorswift13 @taylornation13 if you won’t speak up about the ice raids happening in america, will you at least stop your fans from orchestrating them? like oh my god this has gone too far

“Great Satan” is a completely fine term to call the USA, it bombs children and oppresses the Global South directly, it deserves such a title
I think more of us should adopt the language, actually. Rather than pretending like the US is a ‘normal’ country that does ‘normal things’

Love how Israeli media is openly like "yes, we run torture camps" and Western media is like "nah, no you don't."
Thousands are held in Israeli torture camps. This is what happens inside haaretz.com/israel-news/isra…

An actual disruptive protest against a genocidal Zionist propaganda event, and not a single JVP member to be seen.
“MAYOR MAMDANI, TAKE A STAND! STOP THE SALE OF STOLEN LAND!”
Protesters confront Zohran Mamdani at an Israeli October 7th event, over the sale of Palestinian land through Israeli real estate events held right here in NYC.
Mamdani once introduced the Not On Our Dime Act to stop New York nonprofits from financing illegal Israeli settlements. Yet since becoming mayor, he has not publicly advanced a comparable initiative. When protesters confronted these land sales, he condemned their rhetoric rather than announcing concrete enforcement measures against the sales themselves.
In January, I outlined four existing legal avenues his administration could pursue, from consumer protection enforcement to investigations of potentially unlawful real estate marketing. None requires waiting for the state legislature.

To these people Palestinians are only good when theyre oppressed, dispossessed, maimed and murdered. As soon as they fight to free themselves, they're terrorists that deserve universal condemnation and should actually be seeking peace with those that keep the boot on their neck.

Palestinians are not allowed to celebrate being legally released from prison, or the Minister of National Security will send the literal army to break up their party. Israel is a society in which even your ability to express joy is conditioned on racial identity
השולחנות באולם בחורה כבר היו ערוכים בכל טוב, האורחים היו בדרכם לחגיגה, וכולם התכוננו לחגוג לאסיר שהשתחרר.
רק שני פרטים קטנים הם שכחו:
״חתן השמחה״ הוא אסיר ביטחוני שיידה בעבר אבנים לעבר כלי רכב בכביש 31 - והשר לביטחון לאומי הוא איתמר בן גביר.
תוך זמן קצר מקבלת המידע, שוטרי תחנת העיירות של מרחב רותם, יחד עם לוחמי המשמר הלאומי ויחידת סה״ר, הגיעו למקום תוך זמן קצר ופירקו את האירוע.
וככה החגיגה נגמרה עוד לפני שהתחילה. השולחנות נשארו ערוכים - בלי ״חתן השמחה״ ובלי האורחים שתכננו לחגוג לכבודו.
זו המדיניות שאני מוביל. משילות מתחילה בדיוק בדברים האלה!

In an unbelievably close finish, 🇧🇪 Remco Evenepoel just managed to throw his bike across the line ahead of 🇮🇹 Giulio Ciccone to claim the title that was missing from his palmarès. He moves past 🇫🇷 Laurent Jalabert to 23rd in the all time ranking.

Palestinians are the only people I can think of whose suffering is benchmarked against and qualified by the feelings of their oppressors.
🟢 The controversial ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion is set to be voted on by Green Party members on Sunday morning.
I spoke to Jewish Green Party members to get a sense of how they are feeling ahead of tomorrow’s consequential vote.

Im actually glad that this discourse happened bc basically it has eliminated any doubt that black americans fully embrace the privilege afforded by imperialism and US violence when its convenient to them, and will gladly mock its victims
They are just as complicit

Imagine if during the 1930s Holocaust, we had entire institutions and their politicians speak about anti-German violence and how we should do everything we can to stop it.
The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.
Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.
Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

The young boy in the kippah kicking the elderly Palestinian man who had fallen to the ground is a horrifyingly warped echo from our past. If you don’t understand what’s happening here, it’s because you’ve assumed the role of a Nazi.

Americans can't even wrap their head around the concept that the purpose of a military might be defending your own country, and not going to the other side of the world to murder children. They are an entire nation of Oskar Dirlewanger's.

She absolutely. One hundred thousand percent. Did NOT even think about or research the term before writing this song. If she cared in the smallest bit, she would ask her fans to stop calling people on the internet that disagree with their opinions “HIV infested” among a slew of other awful homophobic and transphobic things. She remembered a catchy term and used it for a song.
Did Taylor Swift make ‘Patient Zero’ for the gays? Inside the song’s HIV/AIDS connotations
