seeing as how the WH never defined what the “red line” entailed, and it was a deliberately vague weasel phrase to get Israel critics off their back without committing them to anything that would undermine Israel’s death machine, I’m gonna assume this did not cross said “red line”

THREAD. This is one of the most depraved copaganda campaigns in modern history. Biden's behavior here is shameful, and many Democrats who know better are going along, hoping people won't actually read what is being proposed.
George Floyd should be alive. He deserved so much more.
Today, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death.
He changed the world.
Now, let's act in his memory.

If you ever wanna know why capitalism sucks, think about how many people you've known who wanna open a 24 hour coffeeshop and bookstore (with a cat) if they ever get rich vs how many rich people ever actually open a 24 hour coffeeshop and bookstore (with a cat).

Biden won and moved far right. We are now toe to toe with maga on genocide and immigration, on oil drilling and destroying the first amendment. What world are you living in?

NYT did a detailed, sympathetic profile of 3 janitors who were stuck in Hamilton Hall when the Columbia protestors took over, complete with a photo spread and front page story. Which is exactly one (1) more than they’ve done for any survivors of the Al Shifa hospital slaughter

I will stress again how virtually no pundit wants to debate the SUBSTANCE of the protestors grievances. This is being avoided at all costs because few want to defend clear-as-day war crimes so all there is concern trolling, front row kid legal formalism & anti-zoomer psychobabble

How are people still regurgitating this line? Countless reports have confirmed Netanyahu rejected offers for hostages in exchange for an end to bombing. And even if this wasnt true one cannot, for the millionth time, collectively punish 2M civilians for what a military actor does

That somebody? Countless images of mass death and starvation in Gaza. If only we could stop this fiendish villain with a powerful new counterterrorism tool called “ending the genocide”
"Somebody is radicalizing out students" Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz spoke after NYU and New School raid this morning, "we will find out who that is". Chief of Patrol John Chell showed literature found inside the New School 'Gaza Solidarity Encampment' after it was sweeped, that reads: "Death to Israeli Real Estate, Death to America! Unschool!"

Begging some of you to imagine how you'd feel about this exact sequence of events if the president was the other guy.

i think one thing thats pretty consistent in how we view history is whenever you see a montage of young people in the past protesting, its always the riot cops beating them up that the viewer instinctively aligns themselves with

one of the greatest lessons i’ve learned in organizing is to not blame people for being surprised when they find out how bad the world is, even when it hits them late in life. not people who feign ignorance, but people who are truly surprised

"You're hurting your cause!" I shout at you about your cause, which I fucking hate.
