Amazing how the replies are filled with Americans with no understanding of basic American history.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts Social media accounts that appear to be connected to the 16-year-old shooter are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.

The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

If you imposed a carbon copy of the U.S. Constitution on Kazakhstan tomorrow, Kazakhstan wouldn’t magically become America. Because Kazakhstan isn’t filled with Americans. It’s filled with Kazakhstanis!

Search results on Google to the prompt "gaza genocide."

Search results on Yahoo to the prompt "gaza genocide."

Interesting how Google and Yahoo's search results signal boost real-time genocide denial, but Yahoo (right) is even more aggressive, even referring to the Gaza genocide as a "characterization" under the Wikipedia preview.

I took these screenshots about a minute apart.

There's a lot of talk about medicaid in the big awful bill but hardly anyone talking about how it will turn ICE into the largest law enforcement agency in the country and world's largest jailer. This is the equivalent of the enabling acts and will be the start of an ethnic cleansing campaign.

We have issued a researched statement on the necessity of the PIP Program as an essential provision for personal safety following the Lemkin Institutes 'Red Flag Warning' regarding trans and intersex discrimination and persecution in the UK.

"Zohran Mamdani's father stated the basis of our entire political tendency in plain words"

"Wir haben Duschen. Dort sehen Sie die Dusch- und Badeeinrichtungen."

It's only a matter of time before parents who believe that God created separate races start trying to opt their kids out of learning about the common origin of humanity in Africa.

In a deathblow to the ability to stop blatantly lawless and unconstitutional actions by the government, the Supreme Court just gutted the ability to get universal injunctions.

one of the projects of the court is to expand the ability of states to pursue reactionary ends and constrain the ability of the federal government to set minimum standards *or* of democratic-led states to expand upon existing rights

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district)

Two feminist collectives - made up of Iranians, Hazaras and Kurds (one is Iranians only I think, the other all three) - have released important statements about this Israel/USA vs Iran war, that you should read and share.

one thing i think people should ask the court conservatives given this ruling is what, specifically, was wrong with plessy?

There's a kind of male violence that is often misinterpreted as being in defense of women when it's actually in defense of who has the right to harm women (in a "we do; they don't" mode, see KKK, southern lynching, etc.)

YES, THIS.
