Israelโ€™s Last Chance Flooding Gaza with food is the only way out of a crisis largely created by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.

[I have otherwise run out of things to say trying to defend myself as an American Jew who opposes the Israeli government, wants peace for all, and suffering for none.....]

We are already an authoritarian country. Weโ€™re not working to prevent it; weโ€™re now workingโ€ฆto get out of it.

I can't even (belatedly) respond to that as it is a. filled with hate speech (what exactly is "murderous, racist Zionist propaganda"?), b. based on your "listening to Jewish people" (context? and describe what? the Hamas attack on Oct 7th??), c. still irrelevant; as a Jew, I support peace for ALL

Texas Democrats arenโ€™t running away from anything. Theyโ€™re fighting, with every tool they have, to save our democracy.

Kudos to each and every one of them for taking this stand. We should be inspired by their courage and reminded that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.

NEW: Gov. Greg Abbott's legal threat against fleeing Democrats may not have the teeth it appears โ€” it could take months to resolve and is not certain to work even if he wins in court.

Hamas Wants Gaza to Starve Starvation only helps Hamas end the war in a way that advances its aims.

an important piece by @afalkhatib.bsky.social

(depressingly important for those with extremist views and mentally incapable of considering any future in which BOTH Palestinians and Israelis live in peace...."the two-state-solution...shows the way forward")

Oh, one more thing:
the objective is peace for everyone โ€” not โ€œdeath to Israelโ€ and not โ€œdeath to Palestineโ€.

We are ALL human beings, whether you want to acknowledge that or not โ€”- and ALL human beings deserve to live in peace, free of oppressive, destructive regimesโ€ฆ

If youโ€™d like to direct your righteous indignation appropriately, I suggest looking squarely at the government of Israel and the de facto rule of Hamasโ€ฆ..

"The Israeli Government has to realize"...

Do not make the asinine mistake of conflating the people of Israel w/ the government of Israel.

Are the people of the United States = the government of the United States?

A: Fck no -- one can support a nation's people w/out supporting the govt; I do!!

While Trump and Texas Republicans scheme to steal the House for life, Newsom is planning to flip the table in California, and every blue state should be planning the same.

Enough of Dems playing nice or being a doormat for Republicans.

Watchdog: 13 Trump officials violated Hatch Act during 2020 campaign The list includes several cabinet officials and top White House aides, including Trumpโ€™s former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, chief of staff Mark Meadows and press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.

The Hatch Act, you say?

and Jack Smith, fmr Head of DOJ's Public Integrity Sect., who has decades of experience leading investigations into public corruption and war crimes, with a reputation for moving investigations along 'without an agenda', is the target?...

I love America and am proud of much that this nation has accomplished.

But, undeniably, we now face a brutal set of crises, headed by the decline of democracy and deterioration of the rule of law.

How did we get here? I explore this in my new book. More info here: https://sites.prh.com/reich
