Screenshot of text that reads: Gaza is currently experiencing the largest slaughter of men, women and children in decades and a destruction rate that has produced over 40 million tonnes of rubble that will take over a decade to clear. The near 100,000 tonnes of bombs dropped on the Gaza Strip since October 2023 surpasses the World War II bombings of London, Dresden, and Hamburg combined. Gaza is the site of one of the largest engineered mass starvations this century. For over a year, a day has not passed by in which a child has not been dismembered by the US-backed Israeli army. Gaza has seen its hos-pitals, universities, markets, and essential services blown to pieces, and its waterways, air, and soils polluted to highly toxic levels by chemical residues from carpet-bombing. The destructive force with which the Gaza Strip has been bombarded is equivalent to several times that of the nuclear bomb that the United States dropped on Hiroshima.
Screenshot of text that reads: And yet, the tens of thousands of Palestinian children dying due to mutilation and incineration, and from infection resulting from amputation, count for absolutely nothing in the eyes of the West, in stark contrast to how it reacts when an Israeli is held hostage, or an ultra-wealthy American is trapped in an undersea submersible on a pleasure trip to view the Titanic. It is breathtakingly clear that Palestinian lives do not matter to Imperial powers and their interests.
screenshot of text that reads: The complete dismissal of entire populations as sub-human, or not equivalent to European or Euro-American bodies, is a stark reminder that the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and colonial genocide of indigenous populations by Western empires have never left us. It is also a frightening reflection of the priorities of the world's rulers as we watch the planet's life-support systems erode due to ecological collapse. The ruling class's desire to
The opening of this essay really says it all.
“The complete dismissal of entire populations as sub-human…is a stark reminder that the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and colonial genocide of indigenous populations by Western Empires have never left us” mondoweiss.net/2024/11/pale...
As January 1st 2025 ends, know that Israel has already murdered dozens of Palestinians in Gaza directly, and as always, and an unaccounted for number indirectly. By now, 10% of Gaza's total population is gone - and that's not considering how many mass graves are yet to be found.

I understand it to be *far weirder. At a fundamental quantum level, identical molecules don’t carry an eternal “I am molecule #1237” tag, and the “exact same molecule” is really just a coarse-grained poetic notion. Quantum indistinguishability washes away any strict identity once you zoom in enough.

Amnesty International’s new landmark report concludes that Israeli authorities have committed – and still are committing - genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Full report, out now.

NEW: Human rights organization Amnesty International has released a 296-page report concluding that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
The group joins Holocaust historians, United Nations experts, and a growing number of nations worldwide in doing so.

Political cartoon showing a line of dominos. The first one is labeled Trans Rights and has a blue-pink-white trans flag painted on it and is tilting. Three people (representing a trans man, trans woman, and person wearing rainbow colors) are pushing back to keep it from falling. Behind it the second domino is labeled "Gay Rights" and "Freedom of Expression" and has a couple, one member of who is pulling the other from behind the domino and walking towards the first domino. The 3rd one "Women's Rights" and "Free Love", a woman is pointing and shouting to rally others behind the domino to come forwards, the 4th one " Free Speech" and "Democracy" and has people peering out from behind it as well as two people running forwards with a piece of lumber, the 5th one "Freedom of Religion" and "Modernity", and has a few people nervously peeking out from behind it, the 6th one is "Literacy". Dominos 7-10 are unlabeled and faded out in the background. Text on bottom: "United we stand, Divided we fall"
United we stand, divided we fall.
