@spencerackerman Spencer Ackerman​ on how "a “rules-based” order that exempts the United States and its allies fundamentally undermines the concept of international law." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/10/opinion/us-un-ceasefire-gaza.html?ref=forever-wars.com
Opinion | Where Is America’s ‘Rules-Based Order’ Now?

The United States’ failure to ensure enforcement of the U.N. cease-fire resolution regarding Israel undermines the international rules-based order.

Building on their presentation last Fall, abolitionist organizer Moss Williams is returning with another virtual event on antifascism and disability! On Sunday the 25th, Moss will weave together history and theory to explore the relationship between fascism and ableism—and how both are driving attacks on our bodily autonomy.

Register for this free event at https://firestorm.coop/events/3145-antifascism-disability-part-ii.html. Not sure if you can make the event? Sign up anyway and you'll receive a link to the recorded conversation when we post it! Moss's recorded September presentation is available from the link above.

This meme came to me in a dream and made me laugh way harder than it probably should've.

Israel has destroyed all the universities in Gaza. Every single one of them. That is a war crime, pure and simple. It’s the obliteration of education and Palestinian future. Every university in the world should be outraged.

I haven't been on social media much this week, so I don't really know how well people are clocking this, but...

The co-founder of the intensely homophobic Moms for Liberty org has been outed as engaging in... gay sex.

And that outing happened because her Florida GOP Chair husband raped her sex partner.

Real cute stuff from the censorship and book ban lobby.

Jack Kennedy was shot, essentially, because he said a black veteran had the right to attend University of Mississippi, which was still segregated. "On the morning of November 22, 1963, the Dallas Morning News contained a flyer saying the president was wanted for “treason” for “betraying the Constitution” and giving “support and encouragement to the Communist inspired racial riots.” Kennedy warned his wife that they were “heading into nut country today.” - Heather Cox Richardson
