Just an unconsequential nobody rewriting the power structures that bind us.

  • Right. Like how many times do we read something off the wall and we can’t even tell if it’s satire or legitimate reporting anymore because absolutely any level of madness is possible.

    Recent examples are this whole “President Trump to rebrand Defense Department to Department of War” sounds like a SNL skit setup or “Trump moves Space Command HQ to AL, citing CO mail-in voting” sounds like the onion. There are better examples, but it’s just like every day some new crazy thing. It’s good to stay skeptical because it really is hard to be sure of anything one way or another.

  • It is a restricted airspace so someone ordered it. That being said, there’s a chance it was a flyover for the Polish pilot who crashed and died while practicing for an airshow.

    But, keep in mind, it doesn’t have to be Trump personally. He’s not the only person in a position of power with a vested interest to make those women disappear. Plenty of influential scum bags to go around. And once the names are released, regardless of who releases them, blackmail is a lot harder to leverage. And the people leveraging it are not the idiots Trump and his quasi reality tv goons are. They’re more than capable of pulling strings, making “suggestions” and planning ahead. Trump isn’t hard to fool nor drive. The biggest difficulty with him is anyone can steer him; keeping him under singular influence is the challenge.

  • The answer is actually no. Even the ones that remain semi-operational have all been attacked and damaged. They often target the generators and power supplies for said hospitals and clinics.

  • I still can’t believe they did a military fly over to intimidate these women. I mean I believe it but I don’t believe it.

  • Worm

  • Have they asked for your help? No? No. Just blatant overreach and violation of nation’s sovereignty? Maybe check your own cabinet’s noses and pocketbooks before going after other free nations. Just a thought. Edit: fixed angry typos

  • “Our oil does not belong to the imperialists; it belongs to the people of Libya.” - Muammar Al Gaddafi

    Yup, that’ll do it.

  • How can you possibly enshrine the rights of unbridled capitalism and ensure endless extortion if you let the poors and minorities participate? Think about the profits damn it! How will the share holders survive?!?!!! For the people by the people? Don’t make me anxious. For the markets by the rich white land owning men. * sighs in American relief and comfort *

  • Political outsiders! Isn’t that what the right wanted? Drain the swamp!

  • Very sick of purplewashing everywhere, especially by the right-wing. They only care about women’s safety when they can weaponize it. The rest of the time they’re all for making women’s lives a living hell.

  • Wow that is curious. The article itself changed. Don’t they usually include “update” or “changed to include” and a time stamp when that happens? Or am I just not seeing it? When I read it the first time it definitely didn’t talk about leaving port again. If memory serves it said they had to turn around due to weather and it was unclear if or when they’d leave again. Now it says,

    “A flotilla of dozens of boats loaded with aid for Gaza departed Barcelona port on Monday evening after stormy weather forced them to return to port earlier, Reuters footage showed.”

    Strange. But glad to know they’re underway.

  • I mean, that would be one way to grab the media spotlight! And draw attention to the issue.

  • I mean let’s not forget the World Central Kitchen Workers. They’ll use the same pattern they always do whether aid workers, hospitals, schools, medical staff or journalists:

    1. nuh-uh we didn’t do it
    2. ok, we did it but HaMaS
    3. ok, but they thought it was HaMaS
    4. fine we we did it but look at all these other crimes we’ve done since then! Old news!
    5. dead people don’t come back and justice is never served
  • I reread it and I think I was just triggered and my brain skipped the whole picture. That was my mistake. I’m used to navigating more hostile online environments.

  • Stop making fun of Big Foot like that. What did he ever do to you??

  • Ok. I hope that’s the case. I don’t mean to be defensive. It just seems that’s often the implication with these kind of remarks.

  • Why? You’re not implying Gazans mean them harm are you? I know more than one family that would lay down their lives to defend people like this. They’re not idiots. They absolutely understand the optics and global importance of this style of activism.

  • Absolutely. The media bias is terrible.

    I believe the Freedom Flotilla site posted an interview he did with ABC News where he was able to briefly recounts the horrific racism and assault he endured at the hands of the Israelis. Thanks for raising his name again. More people need to hear what he experienced.

    Anyone who hasn’t seen it should go give it a watch and a listen.

    Edit: to add to your expanded post. I agree Smalls is largely ignored by liberal media but I think his action and involvement reaches to others that Greta can’t. Greta is also selectively called upon when it suits their bias. We need everyone. He took on extra inherit risks and he deserves every bit of credit and validation for that fact. And I think he’s exposed more Israeli lies about how “tolerant” and “progressive” they are socially. Completely ignoring they have massive problems with racism and homophobia in their ranks and society.
