maybe the real tendency of the rate of profit to fall was the friends we made along the way

Reminder that every single one of these people, including the children, were counted as terrorists by Israel.
Muhammad Shehada@muhammadshehad2

🚨Must read: Israeli soldiers with moral injury admit to unspeakable atrocities they committed in Gaza. They say it "reminded [them] of the Holocaust." One says they put a Gazan civilian in cage, stripped him down, a soldier peed on him while the others laughed Another emptied his machine gun into an elderly man with 3 children. When the commander came to the site, he spat on the bodies & called them "sons of bitches." Another soldier says they encountered an unarmed Palestinian civilian who held his hands up. An Israeli soldier "came near him, waited a few seconds & just fired, without asking questions, without the suspect doing anything," then reported the incident as a "terrorist eliminated." Another describes how IDF Soldiers "would just take pleasure in destruction" & stealing the belongings of murdered Palestinians. He said soldiers would steal "electric appliances, gold necklaces, cash, everything" & "called it a blessing to steal from [Palestinians]." NONE of those soldiers have ever been held accountable, despite their public confessions to their crimes. The IDF refuses to even recognize "moral injury" as a mental disorder because it negates their propaganda slogan that "Israel has the world's most moral army." Instead, the IDF quietly calls it "identity injury" to imply those soldiers are to blame for feeling bad about murdering Palestinians.

Since the 1980s, Canada's capitalist class, regardless of party affiliation, has been hellbent on destroying this vital public service for ALL Canadians. Every change they've made is to prep it for privatization and union-busting.

Please listen to the words of Mohamad Haidar, who spoke this morning in Windsor, Ontario about his brother, Hassan Haidar, who was killed last Friday by a senseless Israeli strike in Southern Lebanon. Hassan was a beloved member of his family and of the Windsor community. He is now among over 1,500 people killed by Israeli forces in the illegal bombing and invasion of Lebanon. It is time for Canada to back up its condemnations of these attacks with specific actions. As the family said, that means placing targeted sanctions on the Netanyahu government and ensuring that Canadians who are fighting for the IDF and committing war crimes must be appropriately prosecuted. We must have transparency and justice. Canada must stand up when its own citizens are being killed.

DND said: “Given that fewer than seven days remained in the course and the (Azov officer) had effectively completed the training, it was determined that the individual would be permitted to graduate.” Incredible stuff.

When a teenaged Adam Raine turned to ChatGPT in deep depression, it urged him to kill himself, which he did, spurring a wrongful death suit. OpenAI responded by subpoenaing the guest list at his funeral.
Gerrit De Vynck 🦭@GerritD

SF DA @BrookeJenkinsSF on the attempted firebombing of Sam Altman's home. “This should ... be a moment where our nation reflects on the often incendiary rhetoric that is being used in discussions about artificial intelligence and its future impacts on our society. In no way should we be at the point where a man could have lost his life over differences of opinion and concerns. We must, as I've said before about political rhetoric, turn down the temperature of our discussions and engage in healthy dialog. We must focus on solutions towards protecting our workforce and protecting each other."

NEW: Global Affairs Canada met with a Canadian subsidiary of Israeli arms giant Elbit Systems 3 days before Parliament voted on a motion calling for an end to arms exports to Israel. The Liberal government then pushed to water down the motion and did not initially apply restrictions to existing military exports. readthemaple.com/global-affairs…

This isn't the first time woodcocks have gone viral in NYC, in 1880 one flew into a store and someone kept it in a cage and fed it a half pound of worms a day and hundreds of people came to see it. Naturally they named the woodcock Dick

Elsewhere in this same interview with Michael Ignatieff, Hobsbawm is asked whether, as a young communist, he would have changed his assessment of the Soviet Union had he known about the scale of the suffering in the 1930s. I disagree with much of what he says elsewhere, but his answer here is piercing and applies with equal force to the present day: “In a period in which... mass murder and mass suffering are absolutely universal, the chance of a new world being born in great suffering would still have been worth backing...” He later adds: “We did not believe in radiant tomorrows. We believed in a world rather than no world.”
Asim Ali@AsimAli6

Eric Hobsbawm defined darkness not as a apocalyptic break but as the state where everyone "gets used to living under conditions which should not be tolerated". Getting used to livestream genocide, carpet bombings and now threat of imminent nuclear attack is living in darkness.

even last year I was still hearing smart people say the azrieli foundation was so entrenched in the canadian art world that it just wasn’t a strategic BDS target. really impressed with and grateful for all of the organizing that’s proven otherwise.
Harsha Walia (she/her)@HarshaWalia

Huge BDS win. Giller Prize is no longer partnered with Indigo Books, Azrieli Foundation & Scotiabank - all invested in genocide. In 2023, comrades were arrested protesting Giller. Then, thousands of writers & book workers refused participation. canlitresponds.ca/boycott-success

Reminder that roughly twice as many people are killed at work as are murdered every year. These are not accidents, they are probability outcomes of capital's pursuit of profit. We don't treat them like murders, or even call them that, because the perpetrators are capitalists.
