Our current leadership thinks this is fine. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov think we should let this slide and get on to "the business of the country". The business of the country needs to be putting these people in jail
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6h agoTrump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."
Impunity provided by all parties across the West, by the way. Never forget that Shireen Abu Akleh was assassinated by an Israeli soldier and the USG, under the Biden administration, buried the report which concluded that it was purposeful and deferred to Israel when it exonerated itself.
Dan Silverman@dmsilverman.bsky.social · 9h agoThe Palestinians routinely victimized by settlers should be no less important but it’s hard to miss here that the photojournalist a bunch of them savagely beat is named Heidi Levine — almost certainly an American Jew. The story says she’s a 64 years old woman Staggering levels of impunity
Has a politician brought up yet that the Republican framing of trans people was literally outlined as a goal of Epstein and his buddies in their emails? Feels like a real slam dunk to point out that it's outrage manufactured by a literal pedophillic conspiracy.
So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

Not at all a novel observation but if pro Israel people are not capable of seeing that Talarico et al are actually bending over backwards to limit their criticism of Israeli policy to one man and that this is the most charitable light for Israel possible then they are simply doomed.
Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 2d agoPersonally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.
Elon Musk is single-handedly funding the Ken Paxton campaign:
One metal magazine of the 90s actually coined the phrase "Hetfield Effect" to describe the tendency of rockers to switch from "anti-war / anti-establishment" to "patriotic / conservative" pretty much the second they passed draft age

We keep seeing story after story about them defying judges and breaking the law, and all the judges do is say "Sir! That is inappropriate, don't do that again!" and "I suspect you may be lying to me, and I do not appreciate that!"
ideally i would love to support minority rights but in this case the minority in question is a minority of the population, so it just isn't worth it, mathematically speaking

Palestinian poet Mohammed El-Kurd is currently being enthusiastically dunked on by western Discourse Guardians for the supposed incoherence of this post & I gotta say the irony metre jst exploded cos Mohammed wrote an entire book addressing exactly the rhetorical policing of Palestinian resistance
People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

The Los Angeles Times is running a full webpage advertisement promoting tourism to Israel. The ad is backed by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism. The ad also includes a map of Israel that erases Palestine.
i know a lot of people really, really want gaza to be a two-sides issue that maps cleanly onto US electoral politics, but it isn't. the mainstream of both parties supports the genocide, because the US as an institution supports the genocide. i know that's uncomfortable but you can't run away from it
