Social justice, freedom, democracy are our responsibility.
Community organizing is something we can all do, right now. For those that don't know how, it's a learnable skill. Meet with people. Talk with people. Learn together. Take it on. Look online for community organizing resources. Do it today and don't stop because democracy, freedom, social justice are bigger than any election. They need to be lifelong commitments. Democracy is you. You are the key.

"Fourteen trillion dollars.
That’s the total amount of money that the federal government owes to Black people in America for the legacy of slavery, according to economist William Darity and his colleagues.
It’s not an abstract figure. As Darity explains in the final episode of our “40 Acres and a Lie” series." https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/06/reveal-40-acres-lie-reparations/

The problem with American "democracy" is not the terrible candidates. The ugly truth is that American's don't want to be BOTHERED with democracy. We don't want to be BOTHERED to take the time out of our private lives to be citizens. We're only ever interested in a quick fix.
We are the problem.

US complicity in war crimes and genocide is clearly not a problem for Biden and the State Department.

So, to summarize, the State Department does not care and will not be bothered.
Got it.
"For four months, Prem Thakker of The Intercept has pressed the U.S. on the killing of Hind Rajab, her family, and the paramedics sent to save her. Over and over, the U.S. has said it is waiting for Israel to investigate itself. Independent investigation from Forensic Architecture finds it “not plausible” that Israeli forces did not see who they shot 335 bullets at.

They're really showing the world who they are. They're proud of their dehumanization of Palestinians and their continued war crimes. There's no shame for them, just pride in their deliberate acts of cruelty.
Reuters reports that Israeli army forces strapped a wounded Palestinian man to the hood of a military jeep during an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Saturday.

Mehdi Hasan's latest is important for anyone that may not have a grasp of the role AIPAC is playing in pushing US politics further and further to the right.

"In Mehdi Hasan's latest monologue, he unpacks how and why AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, one of the most powerful lobbying group in the US, is spending record amounts of money to topple - not for the first time - a pro-Palestinian Congressman.

"Israel’s near-total blockade of humanitarian aid has pushed tens of thousands of children in Gaza to the point of requiring medical treatment for starvation and malnutrition, the UN reported on Saturday.
According to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), there are currently [over 50,000 children in Gaza](https://x.com/UNRWA/status/1801887371350446134) who need to be treated for acute malnutrition — or nearly a tenth of Gaza’s population of children."

When it comes to confronting the white supremacy that the 10% of the Global North quietly uphold and defend we can't be polite. This system is violent, genocidal and is responsible for our climate emergency.
There is no reason to play nice. Their lifestyles are making the planet unlivable.

Are you a part of the global north, which is to say the wealthy 10% of the planet primarily responsible for climate change?
Do you own that responsibility and your contribution?
If not, why not? Are you somehow exempt?

Yesterday's Majority Report includes an interview with Greg Stoker that provides a great deal of context and insight into the complete clusterfuck that is Israel's operation in Gaza. The interview begins at 15:00
"Stoker looks to Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza, which has made the US military look nearly discriminate by contrast, walking through how Israel has eviscerated every central piece of infrastructure of Gaza society, and demonstrated..."

The word choice of this headline seems way off given the seriousness of the story: Justice Department Chides Phoenix Police Over Civil Rights Violations

“There are no more words to describe the horrors in Gaza. The words ‘apocalyptic,’ ‘exceptionally grave,’ ‘disastrous’ and ‘catastrophic’ have all been used to describe the current situation, and all seem to pale in comparison to what is unfolding before our very eyes. Almost daily we are confronted with gut-wrenching accounts of victims and survivors and images of unimaginable suffering.” - Judge Dire Tladi of South Africa, ICJ Jurist

It’s been clear for months that Israel is carrying out Genocide in Palestine. And yet I still see Americans suggest it’s not happening, not genocide. Just two days ago a blogger citing the New York Times to suggest that the problem is confirmation bias and TikTok having undue influence.

Mass die-offs and constant crisis will define the brutality of our future as we attempt and fail to adapt to a completely destabilized climate.

It has begun! I found this year's cicadas in my garden this morning. Magicicada septendecim, sometimes called the Pharaoh cicada or the 17-year locust, is native to Canada and the United States and is the largest and most northern species of periodical cicada with a 17-year lifecycle.

That's delusional and so far off from reality. A denial of all evidence and awareness of the trajectory we are on.
