There's a finite amount of things you can emphasize, given the nature of time and attention, and how one allocates that time is far more instructive as to their ideology than their explicit identifications.
I voted to censure Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for her willful spreading of misinformation that is fomenting antisemitism. Read my full statement below. ⬇️
5 US Citizens from Pennsylvania are seriously injured after their bus out of Gaza was bombed. The family was on the State Department list of evacuees, and followed instructions.
Your very own citizens are victims.
Reporter: Evidence at Gaza mass graves show torture and signs of being buried alive, Palestinians called for an independent investigation, what’s wrong with that?
Patel: We’re asking Israel

NEW: UNC Chapel Hill frat boy says he would have protected the American flag with his "dead body" from protesters.
One of the students who protected the flag at UNC, Dan Stompel, gave an interview with Fox News as their GoFundMe has surpassed $400,000.
Stompel said holding the
Please don't kill peaceful protesters for blocking your vehicle!
You don't have to stay calm, but assault is illegal.
Protesters don't like that they have to do this either.
But they are desperate because nothing really worked the past 40 years.
One thing that's bad for mental health is your government facilitating genocide through bombing and mass starvation and powerful people lying to you about it
I repeat this often but Tim Pool once guest lectured my media studies class at NYU (that cost like $400 a class session) re his Occupy reporting and he basically just showed off how he packed his backpack and stressed the importance of portable chargers for like 20 minutes
I'm sure I'm opening a giant can of worms here, but uh it seems fine to raise the retirement age very slightly in nations where populations are healthier and living longer?
Fox & Friends this morning defended Ted Cruz for trying to vacation in Mexico while his constituents are struggling to survive on the basis of whatabout Andrew Cuomo
Fetterman has proven his critics right about him being beneath the dignity we should expect from public service. A pathetic hysterically racist man-child who should be nowhere near power.
A US Senator posted a meme about sexual violence (with a celebrity who’s called for a ceasefire) right after the IDF called discourse about female hostages “irresponsible” & “inaccurate,” and on the same day Israeli forces detained & stripped Palestinians (including a journalist)
BREAKING: New leaked audio of Matt Walsh arguing with his co-host about how you can't "separate race and culture" and how Mexicans can never be Americans or "white". He goes on to mock Indigenous genocide and boast about the superiority of white culture and society (🧵1 of 3)
This year I met this young American, a journalist, who turned out to be a friend, who I thought that we would meet again. How is it possible? My heart and prayers go to his family and friends. May his passion for social justice be remembered and inspire people around the world.
Demonstrators protesting evictions have blocked off both enteranxes to first city court, which handles evictions on the east bank for rents less than $3000 (most New Orleans evictions)
These guys are trying to prove that Tesla FSD is better than Waymo and their car attempts to murder them no less than 3 separate times lmfao
You gotta see the ending too
You can tell the people who have zero interest in supporting a genocide bc they have hundreds of graphs on the growth of an unwanted population saved on their camera reel
Until all primaries are on the same day, future left candidates should say from the outset that they will run until the convention and anyone who has a problem with that can fuck off.
Michael Brooks in Idaho in October 2018, knocking a door and getting ready to persuade a Republican to vote for Medicaid Expansion. (Three weeks later, we won with 61% of the vote). Rest in Peace. ❤️
Dwyane Wade explains why he moved out of Florida
“My family would not be accepted or feel comfortable there. And so that's one of the reasons why I don't live there.”

"In heated Twitter exchange, millionaire Fox News commentator Glenn Greenwald insinuates that a labor union representing petroleum platform workers who made an average of US$350/month in 2020 is “privileged”."
Glenn Greenwald has clashed with the Brazilian Petroleum Workers Union, calling them "privileged leftists" for questioning libertarian billionaire Jack Dorsey's investment in Rio favelas.
Goddamn it's so funny telling someone scale is why they should finance an industrial tomato operation with $50 a month instead of a giant lump sum to throw around
Think of everything you've done since New Years Eve

Charlie Kirk criticizes Mitch McConnell for congratulating President-elect Joe Biden: "You typically don't use the term 'congratulations' when someone just stole a bank"
If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss
@bariweiss
and her likes.
Many maniacal Israeli soldiers already bombing Gaza take these lies and smears seriously and they act upon them.
Nobody will change their vote from Bernie because he tweeted out the Joe Rogan endorsement. There will be people that vote for him because of it. Power is more important than media criticism, which is also fine and not the reason there are fascists.
It happened. The Senate left town knowing that failed negotiations would ensure the expiration of enhanced jobless benefits for millions of Americans laid off and furloughed amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Bari Weiss was hired by the
@nytimes
because of her history as an islamophobic propagandist, not in spite of it. She's otherwise a dimwit in her mid-thirties with nothing on her resume.
All the polling makes it pretty clear - if Joe Biden is genuine about reaching out to the left, to progressives and to, yes, Bernie Sanders voters, he should make Elizabeth Warren his running mate.
If he doesn’t, we know he’s not serious.
Now is not the time to talk about a ceasefire. We must support Israel in efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered innocent men, women, and children.
Hamas does not want peace, they want to destroy Israel. We can talk about a ceasefire after Hamas is neutralized.
I admit I haven't followed the nitty gritty details, but I just saw a video where a Columbia University protester is whining about lack of food and water in a building they chose to occupy and referring to it as "humanitarian aid." Am I missing something?
Former Bolivian president Jeanine Áñez has just been sentenced to 10 years in prison for her role in the 2019 right-wing coup that toppled Evo Morales’s government and brought her to power.

This is an accurate representation of how far to the right the Overton Window is in American politics. We do not have a *major* left party in America and we desperately need one.
We need to fight to make "essential worker" mean "someone who deserves a significant increase in pay due to new hazard and previous undercompensation" and not "person we can force to work during the worst pandemic in a century."
again, AIPAC was founded in the 1950s precisely because Israelis were massacreing palestinians (Qibya 1953) and being photographed joking about it in ways zionists knew would be bad PR. The function is ethnic cleansing; it's still functioning after 75 years.
Insane that this is happening -- that any person would be cruel and sadistic enough to post stuff like this, and that the IDF doesn't enforce tighter control of its soldiers. This makes the whole institution look so dysfunctional.
@Columbia
Cornel West arrived to Columbia and hopped the fence of the south lawn, to massive applause (and some kids asking “Who is that?”).
“Use your platform for peace!” someone tells him as he readies to hop. “And justice!” he adds.
The correct left criticisms of "wokeness" are about exactly this symbolic/material bait-and-switch and acting dumb about that is like trying to beat the 90s Jazz without acknowledging the pick-and-roll.
NSC’s John Kirby: "Israel isn’t trying to wipe the Palestinian people off the map. Israel isn’t trying to wipe Gaza off the map. Israel is trying to defend itself against a genocidal terrorist threat. So if we’re going to start using that word, Fine. Let’s use it appropriately.”
The Teamsters have a powerful argument why Amazon drivers should unionize >> Teamster official says Amazon drivers earn $16 an hour in southern California, while unionized UPS drivers there earn $38 an hour, with $29 more an hour in health & other benefits
You recently dm'd me to say that "while you work with Cenk, MR are your favorite." So frankly: you have no credibility and have been a galloping genocide apologist for months. We wonder if undisclosed financial interests contribute to this demented behavior or if it's simply you.
Wow.
@normfinkelstein
tried to ethnically cleanse his apartment building from neighbors with a noisy child, threatening to get them deported and using slurs.
He ended up in a lawsuit, and sounds absolutely INSANE in the letters brought as evidence.
What gets me most is seeing Michael remembered as empathic, global in his scope for care, and funny. Hoping he had some notion of the degree people viewed those as qualities he represented exceptionally and not just ideals he privately strove toward.
BREAKING: South Africa just issued a warning to any citizen serving in IDF. Says they could face criminal prosecution over war crimes in Gaza. Naturalised citizens could lose South African nationality. It comes 1 month after South Africa's severed diplomatic relations with Israel
