Devastating exposé of a historic war crime, the contours of which we haven’t yet fathomed

1. Nearly 100 million eligible voters sat out the last two elections. There are more than enough voters to upend this awful system.

2. If you're so worried about the Supreme Court, explain why Dems haven't tried to expand it.

Biden just approved the Sea Port Oil Terminal, the equivalent of ~90 coal-burning plants of global heating pollution.

Biden has betrayed every voter who believed his climate promises.

To preserve a livable world for our children, we need to dump both planet-killing parties NOW.

This is unreal: Biden is twisting arms in Congress RIGHT NOW to try and bully them into legalizing the UNCONSTITUTIONAL search of Americans' internet activity ( #FISA 702) without a warrant! Call your rep and tell them to GET A WARRANT!

The occupation of the Palestinians is one of the great moral crimes of my lifetime. Keeping those people as your prisoners for 75 years is morally reprehensible and completely indefensible. The United Nations should immediately declare Palestine a state.

It is not widely known that every morning, intelligence agencies brief Joe Biden with detailed satellite pictures of the Israeli destruction of Gaza, down to bodies of children in the streets. Day after day, Biden sees what few others see, yet still knuckles under to Netanyahu.…

Instead of a human model, we've applied a business model, often intertwined with gross nationalism, to all our technological inventions. This model is not sustainable for human life.

455 Jewish creatives, including composer Alan Menken, “SNL” star Sarah Sherman, actor and documentarian Alex Winter and “Seinfeld” writer Larry Charles, have signed an open letter in support of Jonathan Glazer’s Oscars speech. bit.ly/4akBD85

4. It is good that Biden finally exercised his obvious leverage.
5. It is unforgivable that it took this long for him to do so.
6. Looking forward, a full spectrum humanitarian effort remains necessary to slow and reverse the momentum of famine. That requires a ceasefire. 2/2

6 observations:
1. Israel opening Erez and Ashdod for humanitarian aid into Gaza is unequivocally good news.
2. The decision to do this contradicts Israel's repeated claims that there have been no restrictions on aid.
3. Their closure until now was one part of a war crime. 1/2

“As serious scholarship has shown, the right-wing rage we need to worry about is not coming from deep-red rural areas,” Tyler Austin Harper writes. “It is coming from cities and suburbs.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I wrote about the book White Rural Rage and the scapegoating of rural people.

I talked to over 20 experts in the field of rural studies and found a pattern of errors, distortions, and misleading uses of scholarship in Schaller and Waldman’s book. It’s egregious.

Buckle up. 🧵

This US-backed operation must end now.

TRUMP: I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose voters.

BIDEN: I could genocide 2 million Palestinians and my voters would cheer and call me Dark Brandon.

This is a fascinating interview.

And at the end - Aaron David Miller says out loud what countless Muslim and Arab-Americans have told me, including some who’ve met with the President and his senior staff behind closed doors.

The United States has 'one party, the property party...with two right wings: Republicans and Democrats.' - Gore Vidal

How do I get this into liberal heads:

BIDEN ***IS*** COMMITTING GENOCIDE

is exponentially worse than:

TRUMP ***WOULD*** COMMIT GENOCIDE

If you don't hold those currently in charge accountable, you have no principles. NONE.
