In case you need a smile, check out this cute video. And remember that #corvidae (#crows, #ravens, #rooks, etc.) are wicked-smart and deserve your respect.

Apparently, #Threads needs to "protect [its] community" from being aware that Israelis don't like their prime minister. The dystopian levels of thought-control on social media are really frustrating to those of us who live to inform and educate. sigh

Take a look at this person's flag choices. Ask yourself what similarity they see that brought them together. Take all the time you need.

My father sent this to me, and I figured it belongs here with you fine folks. 😀

The assault on #ReproductiveRights is about control, not about being "#ProLife". These reactionary fucks have never been pro-life -- they are pro-execution, pro-war, pro-cop, but anti-woman. It's not about religion, either -- they made that up. It's always been about #patriarchy.

Right wing media drove yet another #transgender person to #suicide by outing them against their will. These so-called #Christians are evil for the way they treat others. This person was hurting no-one by being their best self and exploring their identity.

"#MerryChristmas, World, from Bethlehem Ghetto".

Anyone who's seen the Occupied Territories knows conditions there are little removed from the ghettos of eastern Europe and needs to stand up against the onslaught of lies spread by the self-proclaimed 'civilized' party.

This illustration is accurate af. You DON'T have to share my expertise in Middle East history to know that what Israel is doing is morally indefensible. What's troubling to me is the number of people and institutions who'd rather shut me up than acknowledge this.

The pro-#Palestine movement is being infiltrated by #neonazi agents. When you see shit like this, report it, block the person, and spread awareness of their names. Anyone sharing this #antisemitic codswallop needs to be made persona non grata everywhere.

Rather than kowtow to #corporate demands about content, #JonStewart has chosen to end his show on #Apple+. #Media #censorship of even basic liberal content is pervasive. Folks with actual leftist views have almost no chance of being heard.

Just as expected, the US Supreme Court struck down the effort to disqualify Trump from Colorado's primary election.

People ask me a lot, as a #Jewish scholar who opposes the ethnocratic structure of #Israel, if there are still voices there who deplore what is happening to #Palestinians. Yes, I always remind them, though media works to silence them as much as they do to angry voices like mine.

If your country's official "morality" police are beating a sixteen year old girl to death for not covering her hair, it's past time for a revolution.

Our hunter-gatherer ancestors had 25-35 hour weeks, socializing the whole time, with most left over to spend with community and loved ones. The 'gifts' of civilization include poverty, oppression, social hierarchy, and patriarchy. You are not free, but we can build a free world.

Every time I see some reference to #ElonMusk's #Neuralink project, I think about all those #dystopian #cyberpunk novels I read in the '80s and '90s. It will be interesting to see what comes of it. In the meantime, enjoy this mediaeval dig at his hubris:

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1889, #CharlesChaplin was born into #poverty in London. He never forgot his origins, and spoke out for the poor and for #socialism, and against war and fear, all his life. The US showed its McCarthyite face by driving him into exile during the #ColdWar.

Please stop defending #WarCrimes or ignoring this unfolding nightmare. A modern army surrounding a #hospital (#AlShifa), bombarding it relentlessly and shooting anyone trying to escape, should be front-page news and condemned, but crickets everywhere.

Someone reshared this old post of mine on Facebook this morning, so perhaps it's worth a reshare myself.

It's impossible for me to wrap my head around the depth of immorality needed to carry out deceptions like this, except to say the conscious embrace of dishonest #propaganda on the American right would make #Nazi and #Bolshevik propagandists blush.
