THEE woke ginger

Jake Paul stood next to trump in Kentucky yesterday to show his support for trump.

In return trump turned around and endorsed Paul for any political office he wanted.

This is how trump chooses his cabinet and other appointees. Education, knowledge, and experience be damned.

Attacks on Jewish diaspora communities are morally inexcusable. They’re also bound to occur when communal representatives proclaim our collective allegiance to a pariah state pursuing some of the greatest atrocities of a still-young century

The sick irony is that Zionism was supposed to make Jews safe. But building up a Jewish Sparta, as Arendt once called it, at the crossroads of Empire did the opposite. Today the Israeli war machine, fueled by siege mentality, feeds on the antisemitism birthed out of its entrails

As time goes on, Jewish anti-Zionism reveals itself not only as solidarity with Palestinians but also as an anti-antisemitism strategy. We want out of this toxic dialectic, this terrible feedback loop between Israeli belligerence and the Jewish precarity it incessantly engenders

going to your coworker's kid's soccer game is a level of nice that's almost clinically insane

That red state blue state gap only grows wider by the month. The shit they get away with is insane. But we can’t blame the voters for perpetuating this shit

I don’t know dude. If James Baldwin was able to write all his work while his friends were being assassinated by the FBI, and while he was living in terror as a gay Black man … then maybe you can write without using A.I.

When the death toll gets to 170 for us let me know and I’ll think about whether I should care. I damn sure don’t right now.

Sure, our gas prices are high, but I didn’t have to turn on the news and watch parents go into a tent to identify their little girls body parts and come out crying. 170 little girls murdered. They double tapped a girls school. 2 consecutive strikes to get the first responders too. But gas is high

Israeli military drops charges against soldiers charged with abusing Palestinian prisoner The Israeli military says it is dropping charges against five soldiers who were accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee in an encounter partially caught on camera.

80 needs to be the hard cut off age.

Might be their best work ever

For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.

If Ms. Rachel don't trust you I'mma shoot you.

Translation: “MARRIED WOMEN CAN’T VOTE.”

Being honest about the actual scale & intensity of the feelings young people have about the world they are growing up in is far, far beyond the abilities of certain commentators.

Every single middle and high school in my town has had a walkout in the last 4-6 weeks. Many involved more than half the student body (which is basically unheard of here). Students participated despite threats of disciplinary consequences.

Because they are. Remember the endless 40+ selfie threads? I can only imagine all the data these AI companies got during that time alone

Lmao at that old fuck asking “where are the protesters now” as if it isn’t high schoolers every week doing walkouts to protest 🧊 and the genocide. This has been happening. I can give local examples. If all it takes is a 5 second google search to discredit you how good of a journalist are you really?

Screenshot of Google results page after search for student protests, limited to coverage in the news in the last 24 hours. Headlines read: Florida Today: Brevard school board: Can social media users be sued for urging walkouts? (10 hours ago) Capital B News: After FAMU Signed ICE Deal, Students Demanded Answers, and Were Met With Silence (2 hours ago) www.nsunews.com: Student protests encourage free speech (5 hours ago) Jacobin: Germany’s Gen Z Is Revolting Against Militarism (2 hours ago) The Signal: MJC Students protest for “Protect our kids” (1 hour ago) Temple Update: Temple Students and Organizers Gather for Anti-ICE Walkout at Bell Tower (7 hours ago) Tampa Bay Times: Spring Break is here. Our schools are still standing (10 hours ago) Kitsap Sun: WA students remain active as local political protests continue (21 hours ago) Campus Reform: San Diego State socialist students stage anti-war march (5 hours ago)

Absolutely. This screenshot is just the first page (of five!) of results from news coverage in just the last 24 hours documenting student protests. Sure seems like lots of them happening all the time.

Maybe they should indulge in 30 seconds of research instead of writing a thread based on vibes?

1000% what happened AND despite this young people CONTINUE TO PROTEST AND TAKE ACTION. That's the thing that I find so damned disingenuous among some of these people.

Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.

Perfect opportunity to post this again

The stated policy of Kamala Harris on Gaza was that there would be no substantial change from Joe Biden, and considering Biden let Netanyahu repeatedly kick him in the face with zero push back there's no reason to think Harris would do different, especially with Biden's people in plqce.

bluesky is an echo chamber you guys should really be reading stuff like Why Genocide Is Good Magazine

Whenever I hear someone talking about how AI will revoluntionize humanity, my brain is always going to default back to this.

That the west has created a global underclass of the south that keep people poor enough to be desperate enough to make enough from this kind of work is pure exploitation.
