This new essay from A.R.Moxon @JuliusGoat is about shame.
"I'm ashamed to live in a country that treats people as if they are disposable, as if they are trash, that celebrates ignorance and indifference, that embraces propagandistic narratives of dehumanization and immiseration and genocide and slavery, that calls murder safety, that calls brutality order, that calls corruption justice, and embraces our old traditional foundational lies of supremacy."

It’s horrifying how many of our global issues have been caused by three white men in their seventies clinging to power to avoid prison.

Today in Labor History August 16, 1933: The anti-Semitic Christie Pits riot took place in Toronto, Canada. At the time, Toronto’s Jewish community was predominantly poor and working-class. During the summer, they would go to the predominantly Anglo Beaches to swim. Some of the locals formed a "Swastika Club" and openly displayed the Nazi symbol to intimidate the Jews. The riot broke out after a baseball game when people displayed a blanket with a large swastika painted on it. A number of Jewish and Italian youth rushed the Swastika sign to destroy it, resulting in a melee with fists and clubs. A mob of more than 10,000 joined in, amidst cries of Heil Hitler. Miraculously, no one died. However, scores were injured. Many required medical and hospital attention.
The incident was depicted in two graphic novels: “Christie Pits” (2019) written by Jamie Michaels and illustrated by Doug Fedrau, and …

Netanyahu has tried for two decades to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran & finally found a president stupid enough, narcissistic enough, and easily manipulated enough to do it.

Someone educate the admins at mastodon.social that holocaust and Holocaust are different things. Note the capitalisation.
What israel is perpetrating in Palestine is *a* holocaust, not *the* Holocaust. And yes, it is genocide. And yes, they’re also guilty of close to eight decades of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler colonialism. All these things can be (and are) true at the same time.
Basically, if you’re defending israel in any way, shape, or form right now, you’re the worst of the worst. Almost a century ago, you’re the kind of person who would have been cheering on Hitler. And yes, that’s also a valid comparison.
(Genocide-loving Germans on mastodon.social don’t @ me. My mentions are a genocide-apologist-free zone.)
