I’ve not seen any journalism that so thoroughly centers Palestinian voices, about Oct. 7 specifically. This lengthy and nuanced reporting is worth everyone’s attention

The only surprising part of this, to me, is that you saw any sort of political posts at all on FedBook, cuz they’ve completely de-politicized the algorithm to the point where I know my little political rants won’t get any interactions at all :(

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

Politicians treat the Supreme Court the way they treat cops which is to say that they fund them, seem afraid of them, demand no accountability and allow them to act with complete impunity. Instead of disempowering them, it's some commissions, reports and shrugs.

This will affect no one’s opinion because the issue was never actually real violence. It was the designation of “violent” to justify violent repression.
