- Listening to an ex-military officer on NPR say the difference between Russia and US is US doesn’t cause collateral damage, doesn’t kill women and children. Completely unchallenged by NPR host, who instead asks, “Are you saying Russia is a terrorist nation?”
- Thinking about the gallons of ink spilt decrying Sean Spicer’s lies in 2017 and none of it even approaches this depravityNSC Spokesperson John Kirby: There is no evidence that Israel deliberately struck and killed WCK aid workers in Gaza. Kirby adds that to date, the US has found no instances where Israel has violated international humanitarian law in their war with Hamas.
00:00 - It will never fail to piss me off how student protesters at working class schools like Brooklyn College are both met with extreme police violence and basically ignored by media and politicians. All solidarity with the Columbia protesters but Brooklyn College students matter too.ALL OUT TO BROOKLYN COLLEGE RIGHT NOW‼️ NYPD are moving into the Hassan Ayyad Liberation Zone but the students refuse to surrender until their demands are met 🇵🇸

- Instead of saying, “Professors and students are not criminals” try saying, “While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.”
- If you're in a crowd of 1,000 people who are mostly "peacefully protesting" and two people throw water bottles at a line of riot police and then the cops start hitting everyone with batons, congrats, you're now at a violent protest. This whole distinction is dumb
- Replying to @james_f_thomasYes!!! The series of paintings he did as murals in his home are incredible, this one is my favorite
- Outraged but not surprised that my employer (I'm a grad student), the American Museum of Natural History, is hosting a $30,000-a-plate Gala in honor of the fascist and genocidal Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, a man who is forcing Indigenous peoples off their land...
- Replying to @chorizantheMay all the victims of drone warfare haunt them forever
- Even the historically right wing haters on r/nyc are basically saying this is a great interview
00:00 - Replying to @escargotpro_One of the best experiences in life is coming to believe someone is the most attractive person you’ve ever seen because you’ve come to know and love them lol
