What it looks like when you drank the imperialist Kool-Aid and it rotted your brain

The US is not defending the 'free world'. It never was

The 'rules-based international order' is just the US imperial order. The US made the 'rules', and always violates them when it's convenient

As a Vietnamese woman I recognize this look of desperate exhaustion on an elderly civilian all too well. The genocide in Gaza is a manifestation of the same colonial project of the USA that killed 2 million civilians in my own country.

The Atlantic magazine is the mouthpiece of US political elites and NATO. It is now openly justifying Israel's mass murder of Palestinian children.

Colonialism never truly ended. This discourse is identical to the rhetoric used by European colonialists in the 19th century.

More horror in the . The Israeli occupation forces have bombed a camp for displaced Palestinians in , causing plastic tents to catch fire and tragically burning people alive. This cruelty, along with blatant defiance of the int'l law and system, is unacceptable.

The US and the UK claimed for weeks that they are against Israel invading Rafah.

They lied.

Instead, the US and UK are defying an International Court of Justice ruling and backing Israel's mass murder.

The US, UK, and Israel are genocidal rogue regimes.

This is the perfect symbol of the hateful, fascist society that Israel's US-sponsored settler-colonialism has created.

They dance at a rave while calling for genocide against indigenous Palestinians.

“ Si no llegas a fin de mes ya estarias muerto” Nunca, en ninguna parte del mundo con excepción de los regímenes dictatoriales, se escuchó a un presidente en ejercicio responder de este modo a un ciudadano. Diputados reúnan de una vez a la Comision de Juicio Politico,
