The DOJ says it will investigate a US citizen for saying β€œfuck Isr**l” to a guy in an IDF shirt.

Absolutely the most anti-free speech admin of my lifetime. Probably since the Red Scare, if not earlier.

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza.

β€œA whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said.

Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn

If I ever found myself defending the starvation of a child because β€œhe was born into an ongoing genocide in an already resource starved and oppressed community, so actually he’s not starving he is just a sickly child” I would simply blow my own brains out.

Israel's own genocidal actions along with the worldwide protest movement are responsible.

NEW: Bob Geldof lets rip over Gaza genocide.

PRESENTER: "Isn’t it a bit unfair to say this is the Israelis as a whole?"

GELDOF: "Stop it Trevor. If Israelis want to protest, get in your cars. Stuff your cars full of food & drive through that border. Let your own army stop you. Shame on you.”

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders? A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

The

 is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. 

No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. 

GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. 

IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT.

Wowβ€”the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:

"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."

"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

The Democratic Party’s capitulation to the Crypto lobby is one of the most nakedly corrupt things I’ve seen in my life.

Crypto is a blatant scam with zero value that is designed to end popular control of our currency. Dems just co-signed the next global financial crisis. It’s unforgivable.

A siting U.S. senator is suggesting here that two Trump judges in Washington have been unjustifiably blocking a contempt proceeding into DOJ and Emil Bove until he can secure a lifetime appointment and become untouchable.

Sounds very sinister when you put it that way, but he has a point.

Turns out that NPR and PBS' pandering to the right still didn't save their funding. Maybe there's a lesson here for media that think that tilting to the right will spare them from accusations of "liberal bias."

These 14 US Senators smiled for photos with Benjamin Netanyahu, a man wanted for war crimes, while at least 7 Americans have been killed since October, including 20-year-old Floridian Sayfollah β€œSaif” Musallet, who was beaten to death while visiting family in the West Bank.

US sanctions are life-shattering: when they slapped them on the ICC it meant staff couldn't access their emails any more, because Microsoft wasn't allowed to engage with them. Really exemplifies a) how integrated US empire and economy actually are and b) why no country should have this much power

HUGE admission by El Salvador here; it completely puts to lie the Trump admin’s repeated claims in court that it has no control over people sent to El Salvador to be imprisoned without trial.

El Salvador told the United Nations definitively; these people are being held under U.S. jurisdiction.

Without exaggeration, the last 50+ years of biological research completely discredits every race science claim. It is the single biggest indicator of being a malicious dullard and a reactionary ideologue. The fact I’ve had to dedicate a single minute of my career to addressing it is absurd
