#JonathanCook | It's time to stop buying into tooth-fairy #politics. No one's bringing salvation

Harris "lost because, if your political and media system – rigged by donors – limits the choice to two hardline neoliberal candidates, with anything else denounced as “communism”, the most hardline, neoliberal candidate has an edge."

It's not just the misogyny and racism, I'm astounded that over seventy million Americans hate America so much they would vote for a man hellbent on destroying it.

Reporting about IDF crimes against Palestinians is blood libel. It is antisemitic to let the world know what Israel is doing that Palestinians.

Don't you understand that "children of light" are protected by default and their crimes are all part of their "birth right" against "human animal".

So shut up and stop sharing those horrible stories. Send something fun instead. Like the lie peo-israelis sharing about a new hospital built in Gaza by àIDF.

Welp.

And to everyone feeling deep pain, vulnerability and existential dread right now. I feel you. Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Stay calm, stay strong, and know that you have survived these shitheads before.

We can hold their feet to the fire, and we can protect each other from their bullshit attempts to oppress and divide.

We've got work to do, but as of polls closing, our work here is done for now.

Good night all, thank you for giving a damn.

We won't give up the fight for democracy.

We won't give up the fight for equal human rights for all people.

We won't give up the fight to protect our environment.

We won't give up our fight for justice.

We will live to fight another day and we aren't going to let authoritarian fascist bigots and morons walk all over our lives and dreams. I'm damn sure of that.

We have the right to self-definition and self-determination; so don't even think about giving up.

Well...

I voted for Harris, I tossed my pittance into the tsunami of corporate oligarch money, and now my part in this process is done for now.

Election Day is over now and the people have spoken. we've played our bit part in the biennial republic process. Count every single vote, let the chips fall where they may, and let there be a peaceful transfer of power.

Hopefully we have the chance to vote again in 2 & 4 years.

My choir leader just called with a list of stuff we'll be learning this year. Apparently quite a few people have already requested protest songs of various kinds, but the most popular one - apart from Yma O Hyd, natch - was this. Hurrah for socialist singers!

"False allegations, heavy-handed investigations and legal action under draconian laws look like being the bludgeon of choice for governments to attack political and other dissidents, including journalists and activists."

Protests have erupted in Israel after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired the country's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
Netanyahu said a "crisis of trust" between the two leaders led to his decision... #Israel #gaza #war #middleeast #benjaminnetanyahu #MiddleEastCrisis #middleeastwar #politics #geopolitics #middleeastwar

As David Edgerton concludes:

'Labour’s basic growth policy is much the same as the Tory policy of the last 40 years: liberalise, encourage foreign investment, support innovation, invest in some infrastructure & now make Brexit work'... so if you were looking for some new ideas about how to 'transform' the UK political economy you'd need to look elsewhere.

A different (more equal, greener) future is clearly visible, but Labour is unable to see it!

Well at least we have a pretty solid answer to the question "how on earth does Nazi Germany happen?"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, citing a "crisis of trust," and replaced him with close ally Israel Katz to lead the country's war in Gaza and Lebanon. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/06/world/politics/netanyahu-defense-yoav-gallant/ #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #iran #lebanon #hezbollah #yoavgallant

“These kinds of activities breach public trust in the nonprofit sector at large. Public charities (501(c)(3)s) … were designed to be used as tools to promote the public good, but are now frequently being used as weapons in battles for political gain.” https://www.texasobserver.org/nate-schatzline-nonprofit-partisan-politics/

In the U.S., "Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed Tuesday a bomb threat was made against a polling place, but he said it was of Russian origin and not credible."

“They’re up to mischief it seems,” he added, about the Russians. “They don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election.”

“There are really serious implications for LGBTQ communities in states where we’re seeing more severe restrictions from the legislative side. It also emboldens folks to go out and harass LGBTQ people, trans and gender non-conforming people within their own communities.”

In my latest for Austin Free Press, I took #GLAAD data on hate incidents and looked at how bigotry has manifested in Central #Texas. Incidents have included assault, protests, and even a murder. https://austinfreepress.org/legislating-intolerance-anti-lgbtq-legislation-tied-to-massive-rise-in-hate-incidents/

Warning: Grumbling about Media

For what seems like a year (may be not but it feels that long!!), it's been an endless barrage of headlines like
" How this US Election Could Affect Canada".

What a waste of time and energy!
It's not like the outcome will change each day, it is the same candidates, they are not switching candidates for crying out loud!

One is a dictator in waiting wearing a mantle of dark threats and promising violence, and the other offers Americans the brilliant light of democracy.!!

It really doesn't take a lot of mind power to figure out "What it means for Canada!"

Occupied Palestine: Al-Mayadeen correspondent in #Gaza: #Israeli occupation forces blow up residential neighborhoods in Jabalia camp, north of the #Gaza Strip


They told us that they will make Gaza unhabitable, and we were silenced when we warned about their intentions last year.

Now they are doing it, again, and again and again and no one seems to care about their repeated crimes against humanity.

Results of US election are in already.


No need to vote or count the votes.

Just pick one of the servants of Netanyahu and his fascist gang.

Interestingly Oliver Heath & Laura Serra conclude that:

'While it is certainly true that class divisions are not as evident as they once were in terms of structuring vote choice, this is because class has been pushed outside the political system. Whereas previously the middle class & working class were divided on who to vote for, now they are divided on whether to bother voting at all'!

Is democracy now becoming more a middle-class activity?

Despite the change in Govt. for the disabled austerity continues remorselessly...

as Frances Ryan details once again its the disabled who will be bearing the brunt of a Govt's 'difficult decisions';

f we judge a society by how it treats it vulnerable & disadvantaged (which is how we should judge a country!), then the UK stands accused of a callous inhumanity towards those type able ignore or discount.... we should and can do much better

There is something rather optimistic about this work/installation - Passage, 2007 by Cornelia Konrads - it suggests (to me) there is always a passage to another (better/brighter) part of the forest - we just need to find it.
