AIPAC isn’t registered as a foreign agent, but it’s considered by many analysts as one. AIPAC represents the foreign interests of Israel, in the US. Its aggressive lobbying interferes with the US democratic processes, manipulating election outcomes and policy decisions on behalf of Israel. #AIPAC 😡
We are watching, in real time, the biggest fuck-up by any president in the history of the United States of America.
Remembering how the "Ebola Crisis" was literally *the* most covered news story - consistently framed as though it was a huge embarrassment to Obama - before the 2014 midterms (after which the media totally abandoned the story)
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6d agoThe Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed more than 1,500 people in just over two months, and it is spreading much faster than previous outbreaks, the nation’s health ministry reported on Thursday.
The SAVE Act is stalled and looks dead in the Senate — but they keep trying to revive it. Stay loud and tell your Senators to kill it for good.
Tell Your Senators: Protect our Democracy, Vote NO on the SAVE Act

History indicates that the targeted population includes more and more groups, and the lost rights almost immediately include “all of them”. We are all targets, so we’d better stand up while there are still the most of us.
"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

Even some Republicans retain a bit of loyalty to the Constitution.
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 7d ago🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania’s top election official, a Republican, rebuffed the Trump administration’s claim that nearly 15,000 noncitizens could be registered to vote in the commonwealth, demanding it explain how that estimate was calculated. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
The fact that Blanche refused to terminate the slush fund in writing for Trump’s criminal cronies as well as his IRS immunity deal proves that his testimony at his confirmation hearing that these things were “dead” was always a lie. They were dead only until he got confirmed.

Netanyahu briefly ran into Zelenskyy which ended in what appears to be an argument. Through out the war Israel has conspired with Russia behind the scenes, including backing Trump’s 2024 campaign which resulted in Ukraine aid being stalled or reduced, affecting its defences.

You know the Epstein files are *bad* when Donald is drawing our attention back to COVID, his most deadly blunder, to distract from them.
#30million8/30 How can we be assured we will stand for our democracy when we cannot even assemble a mass protest? Are we pathetic and weak? 30 million marching on August 30th. I am not seeking likes. Repost. It requires all of us to participate. We are not weak and we are unafraid.
Katy, my youngest, was just spayed. She’s still pretty drugged from the pain medication. Sleeping is best for now. Isn’t it hard to see your pets in pain and you can’t explain to them why it’s for the best?
Yale is on the verge of cutting a deal with Trump to change its admission procedures. Reminder for any school dealing with Trump's extortion: You can't appease a tyrant. Surrendering to authoritarianism only invites more of it.

The fact that this hearing is even taking place says how unserious the Republican Party is. Nobody in America is concerned about Covid conspiracy theories. When is the cost of living, gas and food going to drop? Let’s talk about that! #Pinks
1/ Elon Musk ran DOGE while his own companies had 19+ open federal cases against them, including 10 at one agency, the NLRB. That same agency’s access logs got deleted before anyone could check them to see what was done to the data. Ask yourself why. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
