I see reposted video of kirk's infant daughter running up to hug her dad and as a new father feel so much pain and empathy I want to vomit. then I remind myself kirk would've gleefully argued for thousands of children like his daughter to die brutally if they were palestinian. politics just suck man

The people who pretended not to see this coming—every newspaper editor and U.S. diplomat involved with Israel—are the ones who ensured it came.

Biden’s Team Lied About Gaza. It’s Time to Hold Them Accountable. Impunity for abetting war crimes weakens U.S. democracy.

Politico Playbook named this new Foreign Policy piece by @cipolicy.bsky.social’s @mattduss.bsky.social a “must-read.”

“Biden’s Team Lied About Gaza. It’s Time to Hold Them Accountable.”

we could have built them a whole new country for the same amount of money

In Gaza, we know why Israel wants to herd us all into one camp – our lives are bargaining chips | Nour Abo Aisha We’ve fled the attacks again and again. Now Israel plans to force us into the ruins of Rafah in order to increase pressure on Hamas, says Gaza-based writer Nour Abo Aisha

What in the world is going on

A Palestinian Response to Israel's Occupation and Genocide

Pulitzer-prize winning Palestinian writer Mosab Abu Toha discusses growing up in occupied Gaza & remembering the names of the dead as a means to fight for the living & to end Israel's genocide.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to make this joke, but some journalists really do talk about Mamdani the way J. Jonah Jameson talks about Spider-Man

Israeli plan for forced transfer of Gaza’s population ‘a blueprint for crimes against humanity’ Military ordered to turn ruins of Rafah into ‘humanitarian city’ but experts call the plan an internment camp for all Palestinians in Gaza

To all the folks in the West, self-styled liberals & progressives, who have defended Israel's "right to self defense" since Oct 7, who've justified all the bombing in the name of 'fighting Hamas', how do you defend this?? Seriously? Are you ok with this?

Wish Chuck Schumer would investigate this but he’s too busy covering for people who are killing Brown kids

Nice try, but I voted for Kamala genius. Anyway, I’m talking about the Americans who were rightfully horrified over what’s happening in Gaza.

Maybe instead ask the question *why* the uncommitted movement appeared in the first place? I’ve followed the movement and it was stated multiple times that the movement would support the democrats if they changed course on Israel and Gaza. It is all the democratic establishment’s fault.

Breaking:

Israel has just bombed UNRWA’s Rimal Clinic. Casualties reported.

Elect the actual black guy says cremieux and it has a photo of Eric Adams

In case you needed a clearer picture of just how racist the management at the NYT is, the eugenics guy who was the SOLE SOURCE of the Zohran smear is now the Arbiter of who is Black and who isn't, the same way Donald Trump is the Arbiter of who is Jewish and who isn't. Wild shit man.

the coloniser told you
that to have a history
you must put words
on paper
but how can I write
if I am never allowed
to hold the pen

And for the love of God, if the Times tells you Zohran Mamdani is dangerous, ask yourself: dangerous to whom?

“Oh my god he is creating a Gestapo! And he’s going after us, which means he can go after every one of you!”

“Yes! Impeach him!!”

“Whoa whoa hold on a second. We don’t have the votes so this is premature to talk about.”

BREAKING: Eight JVP members are being arrested by DHS, two on their 18th day of hunger strike, after refusing to leave Senator Tammy Duckworth’s Chicago office and calling for an end to U.S. weapons to Israel.

As people of conscience are being detained by DHS, supporters outside are continuing to sing, chant, and demand: STOP ARMING ISRAEL, LET GAZA LIVE!

I hear no lies

Palestinians in Masafer Yatta brace for what could be their final displacement The Palestinian communities of Masafer Yatta have been in Israel’s cross hairs for 40 years. Its inhabitants now fear that a recent Israeli military order is a bid to expel them from their lands once…

"Masafer Yatta's 36 square kilometers have been in the crosshairs of Israeli plans for settlement expansion for over 40 years."

"Palestinians in Masafer Yatta [..] face a new wave of Israeli attempts to displace them — this time for good."

Zohran has patiently & repeatedly corrected these exaggerations in interviews, debates, & his comms, but many will only hear the accusations.

To be this irresponsible or to lack the literacy to acknowledge the evidence/details is dangerous to Zohran, to Muslim people, and to the public interest.

The profound misrepresentation of Zohran’s positions (on police, Israel) and the viability/scale of his policy platform (modest tax increases for small-scale pilot programs) by Democrats and the media are what you would expect from bad faith opponents, which makes me think that's who they are.

The greatest tool working people have to win dignity, power and respect is organizing.

So proud to stand with labor as your Democratic nominee for Mayor of New York City.

Stepping back, it's really wild that Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Dan Goldman, Kirsten Gillibrand, etc., still won't endorse the landslide winner of the Democratic nomination for NYC mayor.

It's not unbelievable,exactly, but it's legit crazy.And then they wonder why they're hemorrhaging support.

Where is the lie

This is a cavalier 'shrug off' response — but it's an abysmal reality that people are held and dying in horrid conditions across US prisons & jail. That's happening under the supervision of sheriffs, wardens, DOCs and governors of all and any party.

A brief 🧵 of some instances to know about.

Eighteen Members of Congress joined me in a letter urging the Trump Administration to stop the Israeli government's mass starvation of Gaza and killing of hungry Palestinians.

Only 19 members of Congress were willing to put their names on this.

Seeing Lib comments under news articles about Trump admin barring Bob Vylan from the US as if that vindicates *them* on Bob Vylan and I want to put my head in the microwave until it goes ping

Bob Vylan should wear their ban as a badge of honor. Years from now, younger generations will ask why we willingly aided an army committing war crimes and genocide and look upon us in shame.
