I see USians say that anyone who defied evacuation orders in Gaza must have been a terrorist

So, the US government — or, actually, it's not even your government. Some other country's government that has attacked yours for as long as you can remember tells you to leave your home and you're saying "sure boss, for how long?"

Canada comes and tells you to leave or you're a terrorist, and you're taking that deal huh

It's absolutely correct. Some people will only ever empathize with the colonizer and never with the colonized

the sheer tone of the reporting around the trump trial just makes me wish they ever got this worked up about anything else.

"he's fallen slack next to his lawyers! You could see the blood drain from his face! they're not laughing anymore."

then they go to the WH press corps and they're like yeah, well, I guess they didn't cross the red line. He just said so

@gzt why was it damning? I remember people hooting and hollering about it and then nothing

it's really fascinating how flat the lies and denials coming from the US are falling. The time when this stuff worked is over. Now it just reads like someone telling you that you hate kittens. It's just a nonstarter and they look unhinged.

It would be to their advantage to think about how this makes them look, day in, day out. But they don't seem that concerned.

There's a lady who used to be Biden's spokesperson, and nearly got the press corps job. She says "The statements from some administration officials about not being able to verify what’s happening in Gaza are absurd. We can all see the pictures. It’s horrific."

They're saying it because it's their job to, not because they believe it.

The only people who say they believe it would believe anything bc they already made up their minds

Every couple weeks I see some story about how Russia or China is stoking voter cynicism with web ads or bots, but nobody worries about how openly lying about killing kids affects how we feel

the best way to avoid being propagandized is to know as much stuff as you can

If you can't do that, learn to recognize when the propaganda is thick and instead of accepting it, read up when you can

School: petition the government for a redress of grievances

Reality: while the cops were beating you for protesting, we passed a law making your protest illegal

This person comparing me to Hitler while voting for genocide is the most ridiculous thing I've ever come across! 😂🤣💀 And then they had the audacity to block me before I could respond. Zionists are getting crafty, misdirection is the only thing they've got.

@indigenous_commentator except for all those times Biden illegally dodged Congress to send weapons and funding, he has no control over any of it. Except for the fact he's president and the head of his party. And the entire US military that he commands

I just signed my family's phones up with the county emergency notifications system bc we had been reading about the Camp Fire and apparently a lot of local governments don't necessarily have you signed up automatically

So, check for your state's emergency notification system to see if there's one to sign up for at that level.

Here in Oregon, each county has their own, or can anyway. So you may have to sign up at county level

The word apartheid is Afrikaans for "separation."

The word hafrada is Hebrew for "separation," and this is what they call their policy of physical and legal separateness between Palestinian and Israeli civil society

They didn't even make the word mean a different thing

legally speaking, I wonder what gives people the right to put their hands on someone who is interrupting an event as part of a protest. They always do it and I don't know that anyone ever raises this question.

In most situations, putting your hands on someone is a legal line that you need some kind of reason to cross, like imminent physical harm. Not someone holding a sign and yelling.
