A warning by @mjrosenberg.bsky.social that is worth reading, even if you, like me, work to get Dems elected to further social justice, and reject 'both parties suck' type arguments as oversimplifications rosenbergm.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Trump faux campaign against #antisemitism is in fact designed to both suppress #freespeech & foment antisemitism. The #Jewish organizations are his useful idiots #gaza #israel #aipac

#Israel calls itself a #jewish state but no Jewish state would commit #genocide or sacrifice its sons and daughters for nothing.

What? Not everybody in #Gaza is dead yet. FROM THE NY TIMES "Israel approves plan to expand Gaza war, including occupying territory. Israel plans to mobilize tens of thousands of reservists. Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched a missile that disrupted air traffic at Ben Gurion Airport."

TODAY. Israel's latest plan to starve the children of #Gaza. They have so many balls in the air: killing and starving #Gaza, getting the US to bomb #Iran, bombing #Syria, killing teenagers in the West Bank. They do whatever they want whenever they want. Total impunity.

Israel will never live down the #Gaza genocide. It now defines the country. For the record, Joe Biden and his administration which could have stopped it with one phone call will never live it down either.

Trump's campaign against antisemitism is a brilliant attempt to instigate antisemitism among his base, while at the same time crediting credit from Jewish organizations for "standing with Israel." I explain here. rosenbergm.substack.com/p/congress-t...

Never forget how much responsibility Merrick Garland has for Donald Trump’s second presidency and total evasion of legal accountability.

And just like that, Donald Trump gets away with his insurrection. Something that would have never happened in any other democratic country on earth. Astonishing.

"The ‘Son of a Bitch’ Is Back. So What Comes Next?" - @jilldlawrence.bsky.social

I wonder if @mattyglesias.bsky.social became a neoliberal after falling out with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social or did Yglesias's shift to the right produce it. Or is MattY just jealous that his pal skyrocketed while he did not. Or maybe they are still close friends?

Ceasefire might actually happen, if Israel is going for extra mass murder right now

"“President #Biden today presided over the annual White House #turkey pardon. Well, he didn’t exactly pardon them, he just turned the investigation over to Merrick Garland, and then it just kind of petered out.” — SETH MEYERS Trump is the person I hate most in this country. Next is #MerrickGarland

The Israeli #hostages are still suffering in Gaza because Israel insists that once #Hamas has freed them #Israel can continue bombing #Gaza. That's it. It's like ending WW2 on the condition the US can still nuke Japanese cities. Read my piece on this here. rosenbergm.substack.com/publish/post...

If I had it to do again I would join the Loyalists in 1776 and following US independence flee to #Canada. Sure I'd be horrified by the US as I am by by #israel but i wouldn't be in the heart of the beast.

Time to send Biden to the retirement home (The Hague)

Biden has two legacies. Appointing Merrick Garland who ensured the clock would run down on prosecuting Trump. And Israel's war on #Gaza and #Lebanon. On my official ranking of Democratic presidents he ranks above only Andrew Johnson and Andrew Jackson.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in. The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers. This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

Racist Rahm Emanuel is up for DNC chair. Here is what his Israeli dad said when Rahm went to work in the White House. From TIME magazine: “Obviously he will influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn’t he be? What is he, an Arab? He’s not going to clean the floors of the White House.”

FREE VERSE by me on Israel's war crimes #Israel #ICC #Gaza #Beirut

#Israel bombs apt building in central #Beirut today in pursuit of some Hezbollah guy. Killed 20 innocent people. Once the world considered Israel's mode of behavior horrific beyond belief. For Israel it's a daily occurrence. My Lai over and over.

Israel just brought down a full residential apartment block in the Basta area in Beirut without warning, at 4am in the morning. Families sleeping soundly in their beds, to wake as their ceilings collapsed in on them. This is the US-Israel axis of evil at play

Yesterday, senators voted to limit arm sales to Israel. It failed. But by less than expected. Read why "the closeness of Israel and the West is showing signs of cracking."

John Fetterman is the new Joe Manchin except Manchin was not owned by #aipac, everyone else though. #Fetterman in the Senate and Ritchie #Torres in the House have found their funding for life. Horrible people.

He watched democracy die in his home country of Hungary. Here is his advice to Americans getting ready for a second Trump term.

The neoliberals are psyched. They think that after a black woman lost they can go with a centrist white man and make believe it's 1960. They are dying to dump #black people, progressives, feminists, #LGBT+ folks and anyone who has any identity other than mainstream.

Trump is going to use #Palestinian organizations as their scapegoat when they start removing tax exempt status for progressive groups. As antisemites always do they use the Jews as their tool. They are counting on ADL and other Jewish organizations to support them because #israel always come first.

Howard Lutnick lost 600 employees on 9/11 and cut of their salaries that very day. A perfect cabinet member for Trump. #Lutnick

"Ta-Nehisi Coates, an off-key voice for the silenced Palestinians." From Haaretz. How dare this uppity young black man have the temerity to address apartheid in Israel Palestine. Who does he think he is? Answer: he is a great writer who cannot be bought by the lobby? #ta-nehisi #israel

The New York Times obituary of Steve Rosen from #aipac was absurd. The guy was such a lying warmonger than Rabin banned him from his presence. Good riddance.

The ICJ arrest warrant for Netanyahu was my first bit of sunlight in a long while.Israelis ask according to Haaretz how he can be in same category as Putin. Maybe not. Netanyahu has killed 4 times the number of civilians in less than half the time. They are both war criminals. #Gaza #ioc #netanyahu

It was only on Saturday that Donald Trump publicly admitted that his support is based on hate. Really. Check it out. https://mjx847.substack.com/p/trump-admits-his-support-is-all-about
