Israeli genocide scholar Omer Bartov will have his book on Zionism and genocide translated into 9-10 languages, but not Hebrew. He even offered to translate it himself, but not a single Israeli publisher would go near it. Not even the ‘leftwing’ ones.

Being anti-Netanyahu is not anti-Semitic. It’s anti-corruption, anti-genocide. It’s pro-peace.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
But these two are certainly not the only ones
John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

Matapouri Blue Tōtara bonsai in development.
This one has been trimmed back to its basic structure and now looks lost in its large development pot.
Will repot into an appropriate size for development after it settles from today's work.
Well suited for a future shohin kind of sumo style I reckon.

It’s not that these people still exist. That’s just biology. It’s that they are still being paid to shit in their own hands & start clapping.

Donald Trump is a reflection of what America has become: a nation comprised primarily of uneducated, arrogant, racist buffoons without a conscience or even basic social skills, scamming their way thru life with impunity while believing that laws apply only to other people— never to them.

Happy National Garlic 🧄 Day! Greeks & Romans loved garlic—but Mesopotamians loved it 1000s of years before them. The Greek ἄγλις (Latin alium) is an Akkadian loan word. At Pompeii, there was even a garlic seller (aliarii) workshop ( 📸 by @pompei79.bsky.social): pompeiiinpictures.com/pompeiiinpic...

"I'm a Christian. And Donald Trump does something to trash the teachings of my faith every day. But this latest thing, well, I just might object to. That's how strongly I feel about my faith."
