There has been an absolute deluge of bogus, inaccurate, and outright untrue reporting that relies on only Hamas as a source, and that considerably complicates the problem, but it’s is not antisemitic to criticize a government in the same way you would any other.

And to reiterate: being anti-Zionist is not the same as being critical of Israel. Because who in their right mind isn't critical of the current Israeli administration, which has so much to answer for? But being anti-Zionist means you want to wipe out the state. And that to me is intolerable.

Saying you’re anti-Zionist is destructive AF and it’s never called out. When the DSA is debating whether they should celebrate the murder of two kids on the street outside a Jewish community event because “they were Zionists” it’s past time to stop dismissing the problem.

There’s a name for legitimate criticism of Israel: criticism. People who claim they are not antisemitic but just want to abolish the state of Israel have normalized this absurd shit. That’s hateful sentiment that obviously involves mass bloodshed.

The Cabinet of Dorian Gray is clearly keeping Trump alive.

Trump has never mentioned the dead firefighter from his first assassination attempt. He used the Las Vegas shooting as a fucking PR event. So you're exactly right: He simply couldn't care about that random asshole he is employing to be a random asshole.

extremely funny that this was a health related press show

lol

feels like only yesterday i was reading reporting about how dems were ready to cave

i think she should have retired when she stepped down (which is a normal org expectation for longtime leaders) and i could quibble about things i have disagreed with her on, but i think there’s a very good case that she’s one of the most effective congressional leaders in american history

Drug executive of Novo Nordisk, Gordon Findlay

also making them wait in the super hot sun or snow for hours on end. That one story in CA where the buses abandoned voters-- and still, they vote for him. Really a picture of the abuse cycle.

People collapse at political rallies all the time. Walz, Harris, Sanders, Obama--they stop the rally, they call for water and for aid. Someone passed out at a Trump rally. Trump took the water bottle for himself and stood there swigging it while people went to the person's aid

Obama would've been kneeling on the floor next to him leading the first aid efforts...

I thought this but according to some comments, apparently he's pouting/mad someone else is getting attention. I thought he was in mid stroke bc he's just ... standing there in what looks like a complete blank stare. Nope. Just hangry.

Another shot from the scene. He is not human.

The right side of his face is still drooping, and his right hand looks swollen. He is not well.

You could superimpose so many different phrases over the right side of that image that would be completely accurate metaphors. AMERICAN ECONOMY AMERICAN VOTERS AMERICAN FARMERS AMERICA'S REPUTATION MY DIAPER IS FULL All worthy additions.

This is BY FAR the most iconic representation of him, the country and more. Even better, as it becomes a meme, he’ll go crazy. Its “sad” that the person on the floor is a representation of the state of America right now.

Never forget his “blood coming out of wherever” comment. Maybe we are on to something here—run him off with his fear of blood.

He was annoyed at blood on the marble floor.

So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away.” www.indy100.com/news/donald-...

At Mar-a-Lago he let a guy bleed out who fell and smacked his head. Did the Media forget that. And he was mad about it.

I don’t disagree. It’s deeper than “wahhhh cameras look at me!” In that moment, I think he’d have been very happy to just slowly back out of the room altogether. At least other folks present reacted in a normal fashion. Whoever was speaking when it happened had a very gentle, human tone of voice.

HHS RFK Jr ran out of the room.

He's a sociopath and doesn't know how to react to human suffering. He can't figure out how his possible reactions are going to play out in the media, so he's just not doing anything.

Yessss! God I miss having an actual human being in the White House.

If it were Biden, he would have yanked off his jacket and rolled it up to put under the guys head. He'd be right down there talking to the guy and reassuring him.

New ad dropped:

He is. That is the only way narcissists are capable of reacting. They do not have human empathy even in moments like this. It's all about him. His ego. He called for his shoes after being shot at...

Well, he had just woken up. This was shortly before . . .

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Holy ducking shit

Yes! And it's apparently been shown that if you're nice to people, your subconscious comes up with reasons why they must be good people worth being nice to, and vice versa for if you're mean to them. So you can kind of hack your feelings about other humans by *treating* them well.

yesss. just made this point more laboriously but there is definitely not *just* the feedback loop of "you're nice so they're nice" but also the "you're nice so you get in the habit of being nice and over a lifetime, that leads to a lot of great feels for you *and* others!"

Best feedback loop ever. The nicer you are, the nicer you get. Once I was walking with my 5yo and he was greeting everyone with a smile, wave and hi! Making peoples day left and right. I told him how much I admired how friendly he was with strangers. He said, if you're nice, they're nice back! Wise.

If your leftism is the former, we're good (at least on that front), we're probably on the same team. If it's the latter, it's the same-old same-old misogyny hours, and the chance that you end up doing some red-brown bullshit is too high for me to feel comfortable cozying up to you. Fix your hearts.

This to me is one criteria for whether I consider someone truly on my side or just a conditional ally under the Big Tent. There are people like Mamdani who's picking women for positions of power & seems to actually respect them, and then there is the wing that posted 🐍 at Warren supporters.

I have been saying!! Let them make their own "Dems feckless, such useless opposition to the might of Great Leader" propaganda if they must. Don't go out of your way to help them, people.

pursuant to what I just RT'd it's worth reminding everyone that "loudly claiming that the Democrats cannot walk and chew gum at the same time" is DOING THE FASH-CURIOUS MEDIA'S JOB FOR THEM. Listen, I KNOW we can put our haterade guzzling to a good use, here.

and this one!

Just going to save this to use as a reaction image whenever someone comes out as trans

Holy crap. MAGA diehard Danielle Jurinsky lost her city council seat in Aurora, Colorado. She more than anyone is responsible for ginning up the false claim that Tren de Aragua had "taken over" the city. She also repeatedly tried to dissolve the city's groundbreaking public defender office.

I kind of love this

Oh this is fascinating

i got blueskied last night
