Biden should withhold military and diplomatic support from Israel until the Gaza genocide ends. This One Weird Trick would stem the outrage and tanking support with black, Arab, and young voters, and Dem pundits can go back to talking about jobs reporters and what not. Win-win!

CNN continues to regurgitate the sensationalist claim that “external actors” were involved in the Columbia protest with zero evidence and despite student journalists repeatedly correcting the record. This is utterly shameful and embarrassing.

A Columbia student broke a window to stage a sit-in in a building, and an army of cops were set in against them.

At UCLA, a pro-Israel lynch mob shoots fireworks at peaceful protesters, pepper sprays them and then beats them to a pulp, and the cops are standing around watching.

Palace courtier Peter Baker is a brazen propagandist and will go down in history as a key genocide apologist. The NYT simply allows him to repeatedly lie and label student protesters antisemites. It’s pure defamation and disinformation.

The violence is being perpetrated *by pro-Israel mobs* and *police.* It’s all on video. Look how New York Times describes it—trying to convey falsely that it is people protesting peacefully against genocide.

This feigned helplessness routine is so tedious. The “without a credible plan for protecting civilians” is a deliberately vague modifier that nullifies everything else. Israel will invade Rafah, the US will back it, there’ll be “civilian protection” theater and that’ll be that

This really could not be more simple. Forcibly occupying private space is illiberal coercion, not protest. Imagine dozens or hundreds of people sitting in a business — a department or drug store, perhaps — and refusing to leave unless their demands were met. Not to be tolerated.

i really can't stress how useful it would be for people in political media to occasionally, from time to time, read a book
