It's no longer the case that China only exports Bad Clothes and that the US only makes Good Clothes. In fact, we have a ton of sweatshops in Los Angeles churning out crappy fast fashion. US companies also rely on global supply chains for their production.

It is a very distinctively English thing: anything said with a mouth full of marbles is evidence of brilliance. For my sins, I've had twenty years of listening to bigoted rubbish articulated with a posh accent & an air of authority.
Douglas Murray's whole trick is just to say thuggish stuff but in a posh accent and there's a solid 30-40% of journalists who fall for it and think there is more to him than fashy blood lust.

ever since i read about the weapon israel used to kill those kids - not an explosive bomb, but a weapon the pentagon and CIA developed in secret that blasts knives out to slice people to pieces - i couldn't stop thinking about that maxim: "the purpose of a system is what it does"

“every single [doctor and nurse] saw young children sniped to death in Gaza with deliberate shots to head and chest.” Over 3 weeks since the Politico article, and 2 weeks since the open letter was sent, and still not a word of coverage in any of the major American newspapers.
45 doctors holding prestigious positions and with long, lauded careers under their belt wrote to Biden saying every single one of them saw young children sniped to death in Gaza with deliberate shots to head and chest. Almost complete silence and some of them under death threats

Dems have to listen. This is not about niceties or identity politics but accountability. Democrats cant be leading a genocide for 10 months and demand respectability politics by threatening that the alternative is worse. Genocide is not better if facilitated w empathy. #Gaza

Evergreen 'They Will Call You Violent' extract in Let This Radicalize You (@MsKellyMHayes & @prisonculture)
There's actually no polite or correct way to confront empire. You can't. You're always going to be a heckler or a violent protestor and it has nothing to do with how you nicely you act or whatever rules you follow.

There has never been a war in history where 80% of the country has been destroyed, 100% of the population displaced, and 50% of the deaths children. Call it what it is: GENOCIDE.

It wasn't just scientists who were worried, but Congress, the White House, and even Sports Illustrated, newly unearthed documents show.
