3M ago59:48

59:48

As more celebrities and zionist politicians jump on the ceasefire bandwagon, we gotta accept that what's needed goes WAY beyond a simple ceasefire into the decolonized realms where no politicians will venture... In the shared category of words not meaning what they say, the "aid" the US has dropped (or bombed) onto Gazans is even less helpful than …

3M ago1:00:28

1:00:28

Ah, International Women's Day, a day for liberal women to co-opt the concept of radical feminism in order to uplift white supremacy and capitalism.

1:02:23

The US can't and won't condemn the murder of Palestinian children even when asked pointedly. NATO attempted to use humor and memes to propagandize people into thinking Ukraine would win.

4M ago1:00:28

1:00:28

Sexual violence is often used as a weapon of war. Unfortunately, claims of sexual violence are also used to declare victimhood in the face of legitimate allegations of war crimes, as is the case with Israel. As more and more details emerge from Israel's flimsy reports from October 7th, the issue of mass rape is a glaring example of how those perpet…

1:03:19

It's not worth discussing COP(out)28 much, but here's an action that draws the important connection between what's happening in Palestine to the greenwashing farce of the COP meetings.

8M ago1:01:58

1:01:58

We must never lose our ability to be disgusted, even if we quickly lose our ability to be shocked. Congress voted (in a totally pointless display of awfulness) to support genocide.

9M ago1:40:00

1:40:00

This conversation opens considering the surprising dearth of imagery around the death of Jesus until the late fourth century, a circumstance which clues one into questions of how, otherwise, is the death of Jesus remembered and understood for early Christianity: this segues into reflections of text, historicity, facticity, myth and imagination.

Much of the disastrous wildfires on Maui could not be avoided thanks to decades of capitalist and colonialist destruction.
