We are living in the twilight of empire, late capitalist stage. May this be a log among many of our bemused, interesting times.

This isn’t an apocalyptic film. This is Tyre, South Lebanon, today. A 5,000-year-old city. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. Israel is wiping it out. Turning one of humanity’s oldest cities into ash. This is the destruction of civilization itself — unfolding in real time.

Israel is taking out the last remaining residential towers in Gaza to make it impossible for the remaining Palestinians to live there and turning them into refugees.

Mad men are in charge of the world‼️ Israel has dropped thermobaric and pressure bombs, supplied by the United States, on Gaza. These bombs, which burn at a temperature of 3,500 degrees Celsius, are capable of killing thousands in seconds, leaving no trace.

There they go again. Just when Trump starts to back off, there go the Dems baiting him back into genocidal mania.
.@SenSchumer: "Iran still has its nuclear stockpile. Its nuclear ambitions are still unchecked, if not accelerated…The nations at the world are furious at Trump: the Asians, the Europeans, even the Middle Eastern allies."

Just for the record. We have two war parties.
A resurfaced clip of Hillary Clinton from 2008 is circulating online in which she says, "I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran."

Obama killed Gaddafi. Libya has never had peace since the death of Gaddafi. Currently in Libya black people are being sold at a cost of $400. Obama literally brought slavery back. 💔😱

Thanks for confirming that unlike the United States and Israel, Iran targets military installations, not civilians.
Tel Aviv beaches, today. 🇮🇱 Not even missiles stops us from living our lives.

Obama was controlled by AIPAC just like Trump, Biden, Clinton, Bush, etc.
Better times at the White House.

Kids aren’t protesting this war because the Israel Lobby already killed free speech. Over the last two years college students protesting anything tangentially related to Israel faced blacklists from jobs, student group bans, suspensions from school, arrests and deportations.

Marco Rubio 2 days ago: “Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military” Trump today: “We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military” Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

Do people still not get it? Electing Democrats won't get us out of our predicament. Neither will re-electing Republicans.

Even without a single “no skating” sign in sight and despite the fact that she wasn’t even wearing skates, violent cops harassed her, slammed her to the ground, and arrested her. This is how police earn the hate.

Police: “If you show support for Palestine, you are breaching the conditions and you may be arrested.” Woman: “So if we show support for Israel, we can stay?” Police: “Yes. Yes.”

If Trump isn't stopped, he's going to use nukes. 25th Amendment now. Before it's too late.
Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table. "If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said. I asked if there’s anything off limits. “Very little,” he said.

BREAKING. Israel is blowing up entire civilian homes in Naqoura, South Lebanon right now. Civilian homes. No military target. No justification. Just pure terror and destruction. This is a war crime in broad daylight. And the world watches in silence.

San Diego City Council passed a resolution defining criticism of Netanyahu, Israel, and Zionism as antisemitic San Diego adopt the IHRA definition-a definition that equates opposing settlements with hating Jews. They are weaponizing antisemitism to protect Genocide

Israel ARRESTED this 13 year old Palestinian girl. According to the law just passed, she could now be executed “legally” in the prison. Please don’t let them kill her. Repost this.
