We honor the courage of the protesters arrested at Trump Tower in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil.
Christian Nationalists aim to make themselves the arbiters of what counts as antisemitism in order to dehumanize Palestinians, discipline Jews who refuse to support genocide, and pave the way for fascism.
Trump made this clear enough yesterday, when he declared that a Jewish politician from the opposition had "become a Palestinian" by disagreeing with him.
Just as white nationalists justify racist violence by claiming to be "protecting women," Christian nationalists are attempting to use accusations of "antisemitism" to justify crackdowns, deportations, and genocide. Don't fall for it.
Then They Came for the Palestinians

Some of our people could have a ‘friendly conversation’ with JVP folks? You know, help them see the light?
Not saying Trump needs favors from ‘Jewish Illuminati’, but if a certain head of JVP were to suddenly develop a strong urge to reconsider their actions, no one is going to ask too many questions.
We aren't calling for anything drastic—just a little Old Testament persuasion. Maybe a ‘plague of inconveniences’ until they rethink their choices, ’ b’shert? Catch my drift?
anybody in upstate NY who has some spare compassion? would like to steer a trans couple fleeing abuse towards somebody who can give a bit of support. One can work, they just need away from immediate shit situation.

Against Militarization: Scientists Unite in Opposition to EU Rearmament
Manifesto from Carlo Rovelli & Flavio Del Santo:
"Humankind faces tremendous global challenges: climate change, famine in the global South, largest-ever economic inequality, increasing risks of pandemics, nuclear war. The last thing we need today is the Old Continent to move from a beacon of stability and peace to becoming a new warlord."

Two extracts from this:
"Politicians say, completely unwarrantedly, that Russia has expansionist aims towards Europe, posing a threat to Berlin, Paris and Warsaw, when it has just shown of not been even capable of taking its former satellite, Kiev"
"War propaganda is always nourished by instigating exaggerated fear. With diplomacy, Europe can go back to its peaceful coexistence and collaboration with Russia that the cursed Ukrainian affair has disrupted"
Not sure if I agree with either

Last but not least, you might also be interested to follow the investigative journalist @smaurizi . She paid a high personal price to cover the Assange affair, btw.

@rafa_font "...the cursed Ukrainian affair", "its peaceful coexistence and collaboration with Russia"
Oh, Bast, the tankie brain is a thing to behold (and then bin). At which point in Europe's peaceful coexistence with Russia should we return? Should we go back to when Russia murdered 300 people, most of them 🇪🇺, by shooting down a civilian plane? For which we diplomatically rewarded them with Olympic Games AND the World Cup? 🚮
