To say “I don’t see race” in a country where race was the metric for humanity is to functionally state “I choose not to see injustice.” (September 11, 2019)

We are a depressed, lonely and alienated society because we live in an economic system that is organized around artificial scarcity, exploitation and extraction. It breaks us every day. (October 3, 2021)

Crazy how the punishment is a fine and not the immediate liquidation of the company and disbursement of all its assets as reparations to the workers and communities. (June 12, 2024)

 

 

 

We are at a point where Israelis can slaughter civilians in Gaza and the West Bank with total impunity. This is worse than what we saw in apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia. The closest analogue is the European colonization of the Americas, where killing was done for sport and resistance was annihilated. (July 16, 2024)

 

 

 

In 1890, the US military massacred 300 Lakota people at Wounded Knee, in an attempt to crush their resistance to ethnic cleansing. It was one of the biggest massacres of the American genocide. Israeli forces have massacred, on average, almost as many people every other day for the past 9 months. (July 17, 2024) 

The correct response to an apartheid regime is to ban weapons sales, remove from the olympics and FIFA, end institutional ties, boycott, divest, and sanctions. (July 20, 2024)

 

 

 

The images that I see coming out of Gaza each day—of shredded children, piles of twisted corpses, dehumanisation in torture camps, people being burned alive—are morally indistinguishable from the images I have seen in Holocaust museums. Pure evil on a horrifying scale. (October 14, 2024)

 

 

 

The problem with liberalism is that it rests on a fundamental contradiction that cannot be resolved. It will always fail, it will always collapse, and this explains everything about our current moment. (November 11, 2024)

 

 

 

Zionism is an explicitly fascist ideology, and an explicitly colonial project, and it is sickening to watch legacy liberal media institutions falling over themselves to legitimise it and provide cover for its crimes. (December 29, 2024)

 

 

 

Palestinian babies are not spontaneously freezing to death. They are being deliberately subjected to conditions calculated to terminate life. In other words, they are being murdered. The cause of death is not the cold, but the genocide being perpetrated by Israel and the US. (January 3, 2025)

 

 

 

Eight members of the Israeli Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee have called to destroy all sources of water, food and energy in northern Gaza. This is genocidal in the purest sense. Outright, explicitly genocidal. The Zionist project must be stopped and dismantled. (January 3, 2025)
