I generally think this as well. But then I also think about the large variety of human societies that we have today, and how I would rather live in some (say, France) rather than others (say, the US, or those with no women's rights). If everyone could live everywhere without having to accept the laws of each country because there was no concept of country - wouldn't it end up being about "might makes right"? Or maybe we can have no borders, no countries, and still somehow all agree to live in harmony, between each other and also between humans and nature? 🤔
with everyone free to go anywhere on this planet there would be total anarchy. If you have issues with the concept of country or border you would have issues also with the law that regulate the society enclosed inside those borders.
I think about it like, OK, arbitrary line in the dirt, on this side my rules my taxes, on that side your rules your taxes. If you were the controlling type, who wouldn't want more people on their side of the line? There should be billboards.
this is what many indigenous peoples always found difficult to believe, that, just by claiming a place where you happen to be, you reduce the rights of anyone who steps there in future.
As arbitrary as borders and the concept of land, is the fact that nobody chose to be born where they were born. So just randomness decides whether you're born in a rich country under the rule of law, or in a war zone.

Republicans have made it crystal clear they hate everyone, but I guess we can just ignore that. Guns, white jesus, and as many dead mothers as possible, that's the only thing Alabama loves.
Mousa Hamdan Khafaja, a consultant in the obstetrics and gynaecology department at Nasser Medical Complex, has been killed along with several members of his family, including his three children, in an Israeli air strike that targeted a tent for the displaced in the al-Mawasi area. Al-Mawasi was designated a “humanitarian zone” by Israel.
The Spectator has long been a dishonest, racist, far-right rag. It has openly normalised hate. And the political and media establishment have barely batted an eyelid.
But as the desperate elite defence of the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza continues, it seems the word police are out in force again.
So we might want to take a look at how the Spectator just published a piece saying: "And now let’s bomb Glastonbury."
I had to print a return label from Amazon; it's usually right in th email they send after beginning a return. This time it was a redirect, back to Amazon.
I printed it using a laptop, and a PC, just because there were a few glitches.
BUT, as soon as I did, both keyboard and mouse would not function on both my laptop nad PC. It took a few hours of sheer panic (were we hacked?) and a deep dive investigation, but we finally discovered that the settings on the mice were reversed.
@Bleukitty No...but the whole experience was just so odd...Amazon usually just sends the return label in an email, and you download it. And this was on both devices...immediately after printing.

“I never expected our local government to enact retribution against an arts organization for extending and fulfilling their artistic license and freedom to show films.”

Until recently, the accepted wisdom in Mexico was that Mexico’s economy is simply too integrated with the US and Canada’s and too dependent on the US for it to be able to join the BRICS.
Fast forward to today, and President Sheinbaum has just announced that her government will be participating as an observer in the 17th annual meeting of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6-7.
I don't know what happens betwern Mexico and the US but if we follow that extended fortress America of Trump we are heading toward threats of annexion like it happens with canada before.

Still far below the the $81 per day we need to reach our goal of raising $2,500 this month. All we need is two donations a day for roughly $40 each to reach and maintain that average.
This brings our total, through the first four days of the month, up to $170

Being anti apartheid, anti genocide, anti occupation does NOT make one pro Hamas. Nor does being against vengeance, cruelty, racism, hate. Turning all Palestinians into Hamas is to justify genocide. Just as they turn all Jews into Zionists so they can justify ongoing arms deals, defence funding, occupation, and ignoring ICJ…and claim critique of Israel’s genocidal policy is antiSemitic…
… They conflate the Zionists with not just all Israeli Jews, but Jews the world over, making us all targets bc of Israeli gov’t & Zionist actions. Trying to force us all be in accord and of one opinion and mind with what is clearly immoral and force us all to share in their doing evil. This is antisemitic. Jews have a saying 2Jews, 3 opinions. We are not a monolith. We even argue and have it out with God! Our whole schtick is questioning!
What is happening now, is anti-Jewish and antisemitic.
…Do they really think a people who are known to question G-d will be so easily silenced when they are standing in truth & the highest laws?
Israel actually means “One who struggles with G‑d.” The origin of the name Israel is a Biblical verse, “Your name is Israel, because you struggled with G‑d and with man, and prevailed.”
All the silencing dissent, conflation, propaganda & lies, is bc they only have malice…
The framing of the narrative conveniently frames both all Palestinians and all Jews as wicked depending on what brand of apathy & propaganda people drink. Two+ entire races and groups of people to hate. Take your pick. No one really cares about either. It makes all of us, Jew & Palestinian alike criminally framed by Zionists or Hamas respectively for their actions. They gather us in as human shields against our will to protect them from their crimes & to continue to crime without consequences.
And frankly US and Germany and anywhere that is putting forward this narrative and enforcing it is using ALL Jews as human shields to stop dissent against a genocide and enable continued noncompliance with ICJ. That is antisemitism and injustice. That isn’t about caring about Jews. It’s about betraying us with a kiss.
Honestly, if you look at it from the perspective of a Palestinian person, militancy and partisanship is inevitable.
If you are born in the occupied West Bank or Gaza under the boot of the Israeli occupying army, denied any ability to contribute to the political leadership of your country, and subservient to the economy of your occupier, it's perfectly reasonable to take up violence.
And we're going to see the same happen in America if Trump's agenda hurts enough people. When the Trump government starts deporting people's kids, ruining the economy, and slashing at workplace benefits and protections, people will become violent.

You may hear the phrase “electronic music” and think of superstar dubstep DJs in funny helmets at beachside celebrity parties.

Aid distribution in Gaza used as a tool of genocide
Amid the near-daily killing of aid seekers around the Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) aid sites, academic Pietro Stefanini says the US and Israel are deliberately weaponising humanitarian assistance to serve military and strategic objectives, bypassing established aid channels.
“There is this weaponisation of aid distribution as a tool of genocide, which is done specifically to advance strategic war aims.”
"Jesus, as a sign of his presence, chose bread and wine. With each one of the two signs he gives himself completely, not only in part. The Risen One is not divided. He is a person who, through signs, comes near to us and unites himself to us."
Gaza’s remaining #hospitals operating under unimaginable conditions
They are overwhelmed, under-resourced and understaffed as medical teams continue to work around the clock to provide medical services while suffering from acute malnutrition.
They are receiving casualties on an hourly basis and are reporting a severe shortage of medical supplies, including antibiotics and anaesthetics.
At least 90 doctors and 132 nurses have been killed by Israeli forces since Israel’s war on #Gaza began.
RT @yanisvaroufakis "May constitute a war crime"? May? What will it take for the Western Press to get off the damned fence? Israel's war criminality has been established in fact long, long ago
That's UN convention. When their experts or spokesperson says "This may be a war crime." it means "This is s clear-cut war crime, but I personally am not a jurist." If they meant "may" it would be "raises concerns about the respect for IHL" or something along those lines. Bottom line is, that statement at this stage is diplo-speak for "Yes, it's a fucking war crime"
@bifouba I, personally, do have a law degree - and I do take exception at this "convention". I damn care, but I cannot stand this pussyfooting any more. @remixtures
@GRA3432 I fully agree with you, personally. It's too cautious in ⋅effect⋅, But in terms of inferring the ⋅intention⋅ behind the statement, if that is said by someone within the system it's more likely they are at least trying (within their framework) to sound as harsh as they can get away with, rather than trying to weasel out.
@bifouba You are right, ok - let's say that my patience is wearing very, very thin these days. It's not just the pictures in the Media - I just spent several hours in company of a 70-somthing lady whose sisters of the same age group are still in Gaza with their families - as far as they are still alive. @remixtures

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.
"American contractors guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza are using live ammunition and stun grenades as hungry Palestinians scramble for food, according to accounts and videos obtained by The Associated Press.
Two U.S. contractors, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were revealing their employers’ internal operations, said they were coming forward because they were disturbed by what they considered dangerous and irresponsible practices. They said the security staff hired were often unqualified, unvetted, heavily armed and seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished.
They said their colleagues regularly lobbed stun grenades and pepper spray in the direction of the Palestinians. One contractor said bullets were fired in all directions — in the air, into the ground and at times toward the Palestinians, recalling at least one instance where he thought someone had been hit.
“There are innocent people being hurt. Badly. Needlessly,” the contractor said."
The attempts by law enforcement & governments to subvert end-to-end encryption are ongoing. The European Commission is going to spend a year thinking about their new "Roadmap for law enforcement access to data", and they are (genuinely) asking for people to join their expert group to help. Here I urge you to join that group (also because I can't): berthub.eu/articles/posts/poss…
tl;dr: The European Commission is honestly asking for experts to advise them on ways to institute “effective and lawful access to data for law enforcement”. If you are an expert, I urge you to apply to join this group. You have until September 1st.
"The solution is not returning to some mythical state of pre-Trump administration American equality, but actually understanding and fixing what is broken," argues writer Joseph Lee.

in reply to stux⚡ • • •How do you approach in-group favoritism (a.k.a. in-group bias) and its effects when anyone can move anywhere?
Does that risk creating tensions and undermining the cohesion of the host country?
Even in places like the US and EU where people are free to move around, most stay in their country/state of origin.
When people do migrate en masse, they tend to stick together and form enclaves like Brits and Scandinavians do in Spain.
It's a lofty idea that I think is fraught with challenges.
