"I understand why you're doing it but for heaven's sake... ...and then you see the scenes in Spain." It's a relief to see @mrjamesob connecting the dots. So few journalists are. Direct action from ordinary people is needed more than ever to force those in power to act.

🧵 So I guess the cat is out of the bag. I was fired from @Microsoft on Thursday, hours after a vigil we organized to honor and remember the lives of Palestinians killed by American-funded and Microsoft-empowered Israeli genocide.

Thread 🧵 Sacha Baron Cohen is being roundly condemned for his latest racist skit on national TV. But few people know how closely he has worked with both US and Israeli intelligence throughout his career. My @MintPressNews investigation explores this: mintpressnews.com/closer-scrutin…
