"A British-Palestinian surgeon who treated patients at Gaza hospitals estimates that between 700 to 900 children have had limbs amputated since the war broke out."

Most Israel supporters are non-Jews, but when you talk about what awful people Israel supporters are they'll try to claim you're talking about Jews. Israel apologists who aren't even Jewish will accuse you of anti-semitism for saying things that are really about them.

THE UNTOUCHABLES: Part one of my deep dive into the impact of a significant Supreme Court ruling last year that makes it ever harder if not impossible to sue individual federal officials -- including Border Patrol agents -- for alleged constitutional violations:

Companies pulling their ads from X: ▶️ Apple ▶️ Disney ▶️ IBM ▶️ Warner ▶️ Paramount ▶️ Comcast ▶️ Lionsgate ▶️ European Commission ▶️ … and more to come Elon Musk’s antisemitic conspiracy theories and brands being placed next to Hitler praise seems to be the final straw.

Not that you want/need an academic article on this, but I have done some theory work w/ a colleague to try to break academics out of this habit of equating reactionary activism/protest that defend a status quo w/ traditional social movements that challenge them. academic.oup.com/ct/article/3...

Also, beyond the "content" (so to speak), can it be a protest if it advocates for something that's already the status quo?

And they weren't protesting anything because what they want is already in process & underway backed by governments.

I'm sorry just, a pro war protest is not a protest because we have other words for when groups get together to chant about how they want to kill people.

If the head of my political party was aiding a genocide I would spend more time trying to stop that than scolding the people who won't vote for the guy

It ALWAYS begins with people saying "he would not actually do that" and then they vote for him and he does exactly what he promised. Which should come as no surprise, because, well, he PROMISED. It happened in Germany, 1933-1945. It happened in my country, 2019-2022. It will happen to the US.

“Let religious creeps force the nine year olds they raped to carry babies to term” isn’t a great slogan i guess.

I maintain that this is the biggest dog that caught the car moment in American political history.

I can only hope we can overcome their influence as a voting block, I'll do my best to get anyone else past her in the primaries. I don't vote for cops or Israel supporters though, so if that's what happens they can have fun with that. I'll focus on local things instead.

If Biden believes in democracy then why won’t he do what 80% of Dem voters want him to do? #CeasefireNow

At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital. MSF urgently reiterates its calls to stop the attacks against hospitals, for an immediate ceasefire and for the protection of medical facilities, medical staff and patients.

Like, what are these “resister” accounts even resisting if they support politicians who are participating in genocide 🤦🏼‍♀️ #Resist

My Representative and Senators are completely ignoring me, and are losing my vote. Usually I get a form letter that doesn't address why I wrote; on this subject, silence.

Neither of my Michigan senators have sent any responses and I've emailed them almost daily for a month now. My rep sent one response at the beginning blaming it on Egypt and then nothing since.

Direct quote from Israeli Defense Minister:"The Americans insisted and we are not in a place where we can refuse them. We rely on them for planes and military equipment. What are we supposed to do? Tell them no?” Quote is from www.thenation.com/article/arch...

Biden and the Democrat electeds refuse to do what 80% of their voters want, yet we are supposed to believe that Democrats are the party that wants to save democracy? #VoteBlue

That video of Biden, saying, “no, there’s no possibility [of a ceasefire]” Certainly has me questioning my allegiance to the Democratic Party

I keep hearing about how Dems support democracy, if that’s so then you’d think they’d do what 80% of Dem voters want them to do #CeasefireNow #VoteBlue

#VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy meanwhile

It’s like 1984

Biden and the Democrat electeds refuse to do what 80% of their voters want, yet we are supposed to believe that Democrats are the party that wants to save democracy? #VoteBlue

Congressional staffers say an onslaught of calls and emails asking for members to support a cease-fire has caught Dems completely off-guard. “I’ve never seen such a disconnect between where voters and constituents are and where Congress is"

Wow voters dont want to be involved in killing thousands and thousands of people for no fucking reason SHOCKER

Worth noting that Trump did, or tried to do, as President many of the things he said in 2016 he would do, including building a border wall, shutdown travel from heavily Muslim countries, etc. So, if he's saying he will do this, take him seriously

Republicans new 2024 platform: "This whole voting thing really isn't working out for us. Democracy is no way to run a country. Hail Satan" #VoteBlueToCrushRepublicans in 2024 just like we did in 18, 20 and 23

Democrats hiring a strategist for $750,000 a week to write “atrocities = unpopular” on a large board while they stare at it with furrowed brows

The people of Ohio should reflect on the fact that two thirds of the state supports abortion rights while two thirds of its elected representatives oppose them. That’s prima facie evidence of gerrymandering. DOJ should challenge their state LD maps in Federal Court based on these results.

keep calling! make their lives fucking miserable!!

Laura Ingraham says Democrats' platform is pot, porn and Planned Parenthood, and I think we've got a winning slogan for 2024

Family is trying to get Barbara home this week Monday or Tuesday, it’s looking like she doesn’t have much time left 😢

New fella here! I hope to find the nafo community also here

welcome to the new place! the mood is calm and the #Fellas are many! a hug, boost, and a follow!💛💙

it may seem like a small thing to you or not important, but it is, and I still constantly see people doing this. The best way to fight ethnonationalist and fascist thinking is to not accept its framing in the first place
