My stance is simple: I’m anti-genocide, I’m anti-genocide by bombs, by climate, by virus. People are getting wiped out at various speeds and each of us has to put our sentience to good use. #ClimateAction #Palestine #Israel #covid

You support a man who was found liable for sexual abuse in court, who was recently accused of rape by a beauty contestant in a House staffer report, and who was allegedly accused of marital rape by his late first wife.
Fascinating that Abdul El-Sayed could be the first Muslim senator ever. To put in context, there's been 42 Jewish senators.
How dare they attempt an offensive on the US "defenseive" offensive attack yesterday! (what a fucking show).
BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is preparing for an imminent attack on Iran
Massive airlift of advanced air defense systems is heading into southern Israel from Fort Bliss and Ramstein Air Base, per flight-tracking data.
Washington is replenishing THAAD and Patriot anti-missile batteries in southern Israel, positioning layered defenses ahead of an expected wave of Iranian ballistic missile retaliation.
I'm sure when the time comes I will be longing for a bit more life, but then also hitting 50, and conceiving of that maybe, with medical breakthroughs, that being a mid-point... nah. Not doing this over again. Especially where we are all heading.
Oh no! Like Israel does?!
BREAKING: Israel has informed the US that their intelligence indicates that Iran is "weighing" the use of chemical weapons, per NY Times.
Israeli intel has reportedly been met with "alarm and skepticism" by US officials.
Gulf officials have also questioned the Israeli assessment.
Meanwhile, US Central Command reportedly has plans for strikes as soon as tomorrow, but they have not been authorized yet.
Some US officials have suggested that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is attempting convince President Trump to resume bombing Iran.
This is an incredible talk, Moser cuts through the bullshit and makes clear, irrefutable statements about why Zionism is a scourge to both Jews and the rest of us.
Journalist Madhi Hansen interviews Jewish Pulitzer Prize 🏆winning author Benjamin Moser about the Zionist movement.

Stevens great crime was breaking kayfabe. Indeed this kayfabe is central to Dem leaders/Neera Tanden/Third Way types which is why they issued the harshest rebukes. Youre supposed to have Deep Concerns, use racist innuendo & drive-up negatives while feigning partisan loyalty(6/5?)

The announcement that Trump is cutting off US aid to Israel is false hype to make US voters think Trump cutoff the spigot. The reality is Trump & Congress are trying to replace aid with military tech merger. Israel news, JFeed reported Israel is hoping to get more than $4B per year.
Section 219 has passed the House and is awaiting Senate vote after the election when they’ll push to make it law.
DropSite News reported Israel has been developing weapons using U.S. technology and U.S. taxpayer funds under the guise of “research and development”.
Expanding this grift is not a solution. This is theft.

Note: I was one of the few journalists to write about this, both for @miamiherald and an analysis in my Substack. For some reason, a lot of media didn't run the story, or failed to mention the on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president.
NEW: Former beauty queen accuses Trump of brutal rape. Were Trump and Epstein engaged an an intrasexual competition? jkbjournalist.substack.com/p…
An act of deceit fitting Trump and Bibi, the two biggest fraudsters of the modern age.
While almost certainly for show, the decision by Trump to announce removing aid to Israel does clearly indicate that the wide unpopularity of that support even on the side with the most rabid Zionists in office. Let the rest of the world follow suit.

There’s always a side leaning more into fear and a side leaning more into reason. The merit of the sides are already not equal.

this is not an honest assessment of what El-Sayed was talking about.
Ross asked him about parental control over what kids are taught at school, with a secondary reference to transgender kids playing sports, not "girls being exposed to male genitalia in locker rooms."
El-Sayed answered by referring to the ready availability of information via phones/computers etc.
the obsession of so many on the political right with beating up on a very small number of people with challenging lives is really ugly.
In trying to minimize the wrong of girls being exposed to male genitalia in locker rooms, AES proves much, too much.
He advances an argument that would mean adults never trying to protect kids from *anything*, since they can be exposed, in theory, to whatever it is on the internet at any time.
What is supposed to be a clever defense of the indefensible turns out to be one of the most sweeping, and stupid, arguments we’ve ever heard for trans radicalism
