If, at this point, #ClimateChange hasn't made you feel at least one of these emotions: 1. anger 2. panic 3. anxiety 4. depression 5. despair 6. sadness 7. grief ...then you don't understand #ClimateBreakdown.

A veces se nos olvida que @PabloIglesias es profesor de Ciencia Política porque explica cosas complejas de forma que las entiende cualquiera. Aquí tienes 15 min de análisis polítco “unchained” que vendrían bastante bien en muchas clases de Historia.

New New York to Ohio to California, independent socialists are running for office across the country. Socialism has been rising in popularity in the past decade, with deep roots in the U.S. labor and civil rights movements. Voters see these candidates as offering a way out of the two-party system, endless wars, and skyrocketing cost of living.

Gazans marched in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla following the Israeli Navy’s interception of the vessels in international waters. Activists released from Israeli detention have reported severe abuse and sexual violence at the hands of Israeli guards.

Volunteer Juliet Lamont says detainees faced 'systematic' violence in Israeli custody after interception. She claims detainees faced sexual assault, tasers, beatings and injections with unknown sedatives: 'It was a very planned campaign of violence so that we wouldn't come back’

Alex describes the ‘obvious pleasure’ israeli guards were getting from ‘hurting us as much as they possibly could’. He describes ‘concentration camp’ like conditions on the prison boat and treatment ‘magnitudes worse’ than the last time he was in Kziot after a previous intercepted Flotilla mission. He saw people shot at point blank with rubber bullets .. lost feeling in his hands after they were zip tied and yanked…he passed out. This is the systemic violence of the IOF and the lengths they will go to continue their illegal siege and continuing annexation of the West Bank. We refuse. We resist. We Rise.

When critics pointed out black-and-white factual errors from the beginning to the end of the NYT’s “Screams Without Words,” one of the most consequential fabrications in the paper’s history, used to justify a genocide, the paper steadfastly refused to address them. Only when video evidence emerged directly contradicting part of it did they offer a soft “update” to the piece. Note how differently critics of the Kristof piece are treated. Where the original article did not interview a single victim, Kristof spoke to 14, all corroborated in other ways too. The critics do not challenge a single fact, instead they argue that the behavior described is simply impossible, or dogs would never do that, and all the witnesses and victims are biased against Israel and should not be listened to. Not a single honest criticism of what he has reported has been presented that contradicts the facts he laid out. Yet those critics — who hysterically impugn his character and even in many cases suggest he should be executed — get a polite and respectful reply from the Times. (And in their reply they double down on their old Screams piece, stridently and without evidence.)

What a weird way of saying “Israel has killed over 100 first responders in Lebanon”

ALERT 🚨 @progintl Council member Łukasz Kozak (@verykozak) of @socjalistyczna is among those abducted by Israeli forces during their illegal raid on the Global Sumud Flotilla. He remains in custody with hundreds of others. Release them all.

Han pedido 1 año y 9 meses de prisión para quienes han manchado (pintura lavable) el Congreso por la inacción climática. “Según las medidas que tomemos, una persona que nazca hoy se va a enfrentar a un mundo más o menos habitable", se ha defendido una de las imputadas. 👇👇👇

Zeteo contributor @enoughformethx has just been released from Israeli prison. Alex was abducted while traveling with the Global Sumud Flotilla and details the abuses he experienced while detained.

“They🇮🇱 forced us to keep our heads down, our knees on the ground, on hard surfaces or in dirty water. They stuffed us into unventilated containers for hours at a time. They literally flooded our sleeping space with seawater in the middle of the night.They physically beat anyone”

Lo último que sabemos es que las personas secuestradas y encarceladas por la entidad sionista podrían regresar hoy mismo, pero eso no cambia la gravedad de lo ocurrido ni la necesidad de exigir responsabilidades internacionales 👇

Former CIA Officer Philip Agee explains why the US🇺🇸 has been waging economic warfare on Cuba🇨🇺 for decades and trying to strangle & overthrow the socialist system: ‘They know that if the Cubans are successful of their example in being able to provide, as a poor country, the best medical care in the third world…it’s a very bad example for the United States. There is a large mass of people in the US who can look to Cuba and say ‘wow if they can do it on a per capita income of $2K—2.5K, where ours is $22,500 a year, what’s wrong with our system? Maybe we ought to consider an alternative.’ That’s why Sandinista Nicaragua had to be destroyed, that’s why Grenada had to be destroyed. Because any movement that comes to power with the idea of providing for all the people and escaping the control of the US and its economy, that is bad news for the United States and among the upper circles of power and influence.’ H/t: @sov_media

A Global Sumud Flotilla participant just testified from the depths of an Israeli detention center "I was illegally kidnapped by Israel - like 425 other people." "Handcuffs on my hands and feet. Dragged me. When I couldn't walk, they dragged me on the ground." "They hit us. Hurt all of us a lot. Handcuffs so tight my hands lost feeling." "They laughed all the time. Super sadistic." "Took off my shirt. Took pictures. Mistreated us all night long." Then she delivered her message to the world: "Shame on you. Shame on all of you. Shame on every government that keeps trading with Israel. My government is complicit. Europe is complicit. The whole world is complicit."

Wikileaks released footage of a very similar incident perpetrated by US soldiers in 2010. The footage triggered global outrage at the highest levels. Now Israel perpetrates this crime over and over again, with total impunity. Zionism is hollowing out humanity and must be ended.

If things cool down with Iran then it's a safe bet they're going in for the kill shot on Cuba. The US empire never makes peace, it just moves the crosshairs of its war machinery from nation to nation. Yay! The troops are leaving Afghanistan — oh, now it's proxy war in Ukraine. Oh hey, it looks like the mass slaughter in Gaza has slowed down — oh, now they're going to war with Iran. Hey these Iran negotiations are finally getting somewhere — ah man, now they're invading Cuba. We see it over and over and over again. As soon as the human butchery slows down on one place, it picks up somewhere else. The US empire exists in a constant state of war. War is the glue that holds the empire together. If the wars stop, the empire stops. That's why the denizens of the empire are never allowed to vote for an end to wars. You can vote for candidates who will end abortions or corporate regulations, but you can't vote for a candidate who will actually end the wars. Peace is never on the ballot, because war is too critical for the functioning of the empire.

ISRAEL KIDNAPS SISTER OF IRISH PRESIDENT Irish President Catherine Connolly has confirmed that her sister, Dr Margaret Connolly, is among more than 400 activists detained by Isr*eli forces during a raid on the Global Sumud humanitarian flotilla in international waters. The 50-vessel convoy, carrying 428 activists from 44 countries, was intercepted on 18 May approximately 70 nautical miles from Cyprus as it sailed toward G*za to deliver medical supplies and break the military blockade imposed on the coastal enclave since 2007. In a video recorded before her detention, Dr Connolly stated: "If you are watching this video, it means I have been kidnapped from my boat in the flotilla by the Isr*eli occupying forces, and I'm now being held illegally in an Isr*eli prison". Speaking to reporters in London, President Connolly said she was "very proud" of her sister but "very worried" about her, adding that the interception reportedly occurred in international waters, which is "a cause of worry". The Isr*eli military confirmed it had seized all vessels, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein describing the flotilla as a "PR stunt at the service of H*mas". Irish Foreign Minister Helen McEntee said she was "appalled and shocked" by video footage circulated by Isr*el's National Security Minister showing detained activists zip-tied and forced to kneel, demanding their immediate release. The blockade, imposed after Hamas's 2007 takeover of Gaza, has been condemned by UN bodies as collective punishment, restricting food, medicine, and free movement for more than two million Palestinians.

Proof that Israel is deeply rattled by the Global Sumud Flotilla. They've paid Google to make Israeli propaganda and smears the top result.
