Remember as a HS senior going up to SUNY Purchase to take a campus tour and the dorm rooms all had a five inch gap at the bottom so SWAT teams could roll tear gas canisters in. The art students in looked sad and on smack. I didn’t end up going to Purchase.

Multiple congress members have directly called for Gaza to be completely bombed off the map, and yet the one being censured is the one who called for peace. This country is disgusting.

Is there anything that people can or should do about historical colonial aggressions that happened several centuries or even millennia in the past? Sorry but I’m more concerned for the suffering of people who are very tenuously clinging to life as a result of a current occupation…

So what are people’s thoughts around here about the beginning of the Anthropocene? 1610 Orbis Spike or 1960s increase in fallout from nuke tests?

I’ve heard Jeju Island, which saw a one of the biggest massacres of leftists just before the war, still has a lot of anti-US base sentiment etc, similar to Okinawa

Can’t speak for South Koreans, and I’ve only been there once (last month, no less), but my impression is that there’s robust culture of protesting labor abuses, gentrification, etc as seen by protest tents I saw on public sidewalks, but that anti-US and esp pro-DPRK speech is discouraged/censored

it is making me feel completely insane that the IDF told a reporter they did the hospital bombing, then posted and deleted like four separate videos with doctored timestamps, then claimed it was a piece of shrapnel that magically landed on a missile depot and some people are like WAIT LET THEM COOK

A landmark moment in the history of the tweet editing function. (In the interim between the original and edited tweets, reporters noted that the time stamp of the videos didn't match the timing of the Gaza hospital attack.)
