Musings from Anna Fusco

"The Biden administration, after reportedly finding three battalions within the Israeli occupation forces to be violating human rights and taking the decision to sanction it, decided not to proceed with the punitive measures.

The three battalions, found to be committing 'gross human rights violations' against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, will walk away scott-free as no sanctions will be imposed on them, ABC News reported.

US Secretary of State Antony Binken informed US House Speaker Mike Johnson of the decision in a Friday letter, wherein he reportedly said the fact that they were found to be violating human rights would not impede or delay the delivery of any type of assistance to the Israeli occupation.

Blinken underlined that the Israeli occupation forces would receive the full amount of arms and funds appropriated by Congress."

It’s easy to lose sight of some of life’s simple pleasures when you’re mired in the politics of a land you’re forbidden to enter. But every now and again we deserve to be reminded of just how beautifully the sea sparkles in the Gaza Strip, or just how high the rainbows over the West Bank’s grassy hills can go, or just how easy it is to visualize the earthy way of life in villages wiped away in 1948.

This is different from Al-Shifa:

There are images of decomposed bodies wearing what appear to be scrubs... with their hands tied. Meaning they were executed while bound. I will not be sharing them because I'm tired of showing our martyrs' bodies to people.

Every discord I’ve ever been in has had a pets channel. I like that about humans. Our companions will never understand this form of affection, yet we still love them so much that we make space for them even in a virtual communities. We care regardless of whether it can be understood or returned.

Joe Biden would rather risk full on war than stop genocide.

I love you folk music I love you drinking songs I love you sea shanties I love you work songs I love you lullabies that have helped send countless generations of children off to sleep I love you music the poor and non-white and oppressed used to fill their difficult lives with joy I love you protest songs and coded music that helped people escape to freedom and connect with each other and keep their cultures and languages alive I fucking love you "this machine kills fascists" I love you banjos and bagpipes and all those other instruments people love to hate I love you modern artists keeping these songs alive and writing new ones I love you people writing new folk songs for fictional worlds because even people who don't exist deserve to connect through song I love you queer artists finding themselves in ancient songs I love so so so much

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

It's not the first time that has happened

I think what a lot of liberal zionists who think they can change the politics of Israel while maintaining its existence are missing is that Israel cannot exist in any other way than as a military asset of the United States to destabilize the region

just another ten million dollar bump in the police budget, please one more funding increase so we can create a real life counter-strike map based on the over-policed majority black neighborhoods we do no-knock raids in every week, just one final municipal service defunding, we just need to shut down the libraries earlier and fire half of our public school teachers, please the police need one final additional million dollar cash injection and they'll finally stop racially profiling minorities, i swear, one final billion dollar statewide cut to road maintenance and the police will stop throwing flashbangs into the cribs of sleeping infants
