The atrocities committed by the colonizers are not being taught enough in schools. This was in Mozambique 🇲🇿 in the 1970s. while the most infamous massacre (Wiriyamu) occurred in December 1972, the year 1971 marked a significant escalation in brutal "cleanup" operations by Portuguese forces along the Zambezi River in Mozambique.  During this period, particularly around 1971, the Portuguese Army and Directorate-General of Security (DGS/PIDE) initiated intense counterinsurgency actions to counter FRELIMO guerrillas in the Tete district.

The incentive to make money has so twisted our priorities that people can’t believe you enjoy learning for its own sake. It ends in a world where no one knows history, poetry, myth because they see no profit in it. Disdain for the humanities reveals a total poverty of spirit.

when people genuinely cannot conceive of a reason to attend university that isn’t solely about employment i find it quite scary. this country is so anti-knowledge

Can Britain still afford the NHS? With me in the studio to discuss this are the chief executive of BUPA, a spokesperson for Palantir and the boss of a hedge fund raking in huge sums of money from hospital PFI contracts.

A child who saves a sparrow is stronger than a man who makes war. The war-maker has done nothing the most unimaginative brute couldn't do. The child, though—like the saint, like any empath—has done something much bolder: truly imagined the suffering of another living thing.

Imagine being so ugly, that you think posting a picture of you is a hate crime

Try to find the difference between Italy's @espressonline magazine and the Nazi Der Sturmer's depiction of Jews. I was not able to see any difference. Any Holocaust museum and scholar who is silent in the face of such antisemitism has forgotten the main lesson of the Holocaust--do not remain silent in the face of evil.

@Woman4W I say this as someone who shares a child with a man who is genuinely the best human being I know... Men just objectively as a whole are terrifying.

In 2004, photographs from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq became public. American soldiers had been systematically abusing, humiliating, and torturing Iraqi detainees. The photographs showed prisoners in stress positions, on leashes, in forced sexual poses, with injuries. Some detainees had died in custody. The American response, at the official level, was to prosecute a handful of low-ranking soldiers. Lynndie England. Charles Graner. A few others. The architects of the policy, the lawyers who wrote the "torture memos" defining waterboarding and stress positions as legally permissible, the officials who approved "enhanced interrogation" as official doctrine, and the senior military commanders who oversaw facilities where these practices were standard, faced no criminal accountability. John Yoo, who wrote the memo legally authorizing torture, is a tenured professor at UC Berkeley School of Law. He teaches law. At Berkeley. Jay Bybee, who co-authored the torture memos, was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, where he served as a federal judge. He judged people. For crimes. Think about the message that sends. Not to Americans, who largely moved on within a news cycle. To the people in the region. To the Iraqis who were in that prison. To the Arab and Muslim world watching a country that had invaded their region on false pretenses, occupied and destabilized it, and then when photographs of systematic torture emerged, promoted the people responsible and prosecuted the people who took the photographs. Chelsea Manning, who leaked evidence of war crimes including the killing of civilians and journalists, went to prison. The people who exposed the crimes were punished. The people who enabled the crimes were promoted. This is not a system that malfunctioned. This is a system that functioned exactly as designed.

Abdul El-Sayed: “If you’re out of a job, it’s probably because a corporation figured out how to automate your job. If you’re out of a home, it’s probably because a corporation is speculating on the home that you should have been able to afford. If you’re out of healthcare, it’s probably because a corporation has figured out how to monetize you because you get sick”
