trying to threaten people who are currently suffering more than you could potentially ever suffer even in the worst-case scenario of a trump win (and i say this with full acknowledgement that his win puts many people i care about in danger) is just bad behavior. we are seeing children with no heads, we are seeing parents watch their children get burned alive, get buried alive, families bury only fragments of one another in mass graves, prisoners raped on video die from their wounds, newborn infants found decomposing in hospital beds, six-year-olds pleading for their lives on audio before they get shot at 335 times, the destruction of entire ancient cities, but most of all we're seeing your leaders defend it and lie about it over and over and over again. if you can't even comprehend the scale of the suffering, if you can't wrap your head around it, you are poorly equipped to try and threaten people about it. you are so cruel you are stupid with it. you are asking people in hell to save you from hell with nothing to offer them in return, and you're not even doing it politely.

A clear example of the gradual transformation of a Reuters headline from actual news to israeli propaganda: facts are lost (school & 100 are gone), doubt casted ("Hamas-run"), Israel's unsubstantiated statement incorporated ("hit militants").

Forget about Habibi Funk (white guy owned reissue music label who have been buying up and repackaging retro MENA music for public consumption) and support Sudan Tape Archive instead

By August, we are sluggish with love and slide two / barrettes into the night of my hair. Like twin fireflies. / Like rabbit feet dyed blue and downhearted, stamping / the side of my head. July’s shadow is almost rot / and we haven’t spoken in days. I play pool with Mik / and count the ways he sinks ball after ball while I await / the doom of going second, soon regret letting him break. / I bet on this game. I bet on the waning of light, fame. I know / most things dim. It’s hot when I leave the bar and I say / Come, sun, you muscular star, thinking heatstroke / might strike this state of weather from my heart. / The trigger of seasons, the treasons of these city streets. / Orchard and Broome. We loom. We make reasons and room / for why things can’t work; we lurk into autumn. / We warm our hands for October’s plume. We say soon, soon, / soon something will be revealed. We fool no one / and are no one’s fool, least of all the late summer gods / who know a burn, who rope in hope, who prepare us / for a meal of dead light. In August, I want snow. I want July. / Midsummer prophet sight. Belief. Faith. A cathedral / with all her weight. A winter love. A new year. / A regal infancy. A Sunday, born.

Hey if you trust The Atlantic, stop.

At one point in the author basically says, " Israel isn't a settler colonial state but even if it was why don't people care about CHINA being settler-colonialism??? How come everyone only cares about Palestine? 🧐🧐 Because they're antisemitic commies that's why"

I'm not gonna link it on the bad reading comprehension website, no

Same dude wrote these brain rot propaganda pieces, too
