Just reposting this here so there’s an indelible record when everyone later pretends they didn’t see it coming:

I told you so. This is a bad idea.

Handing privileged access to U.S. defense technology to a foreign government under the branding of “strategic partnership” is not America First, not fiscal responsibility, and not national security. It is exactly how foreign entanglements become permanent obligations — paid for by American taxpayers and justified after the fact by the same people who created the dependency.

Your "representatives" just represented someone else.

84% of you don't want us to continue to transfer weapons to Israel without new restrictions.

Congress just voted to do it anyway.

Yesterday, the House Armed Services Committee voted on whether to strip Section 224 from the 2027 NDAA. Section 224 would formally merge U.S. and Israeli military technology, weapons development, AI, and defense supply chains. That is more integration than we have with any NATO ally. In case you didn't know, Israel is not part of NATO. This makes it federal law. No more congressional oversight. No more debate. Forever. Regardless of what they do.

Every member of the committee voted to keep it. Every member except two.

Ro Khanna. Sara Jacobs. Both from California. Both Democrats.

Every other Democrat voted with the Republicans to advance this.

This is what empires look like while they are dying. A voice vote. In the open. In front of everyone. In your face.

They don't think you're watching, and they think you won't do anything about it. And you probably won't.

One last thing: if you vote to keep your current representative in the House or Senate, who just voted against your wishes and locked you and your children into a forever conflict in the Middle East, You are the problem, not them.

@clayton_karsten @lionessvibes @Ersin0X Is it possible that you’re way too emotional while/about driving? And that perhaps everyone else would be a lot safer if you gave up your license?

@RepClayHiggins Go to hell, what is wrong with you?? Take Israel out of your mouth before you start trying to speak on anything else you weirdo.

@SeeRacists A Latina woman was mad once that I was reading a book at a table she wanted in a coffee shop and had a whole freak out about how she didn’t believe I could read.

The United States Congress in a nutshell:

[Stew Peters @realstewpeters]

RO KHANNA: “Let me be clear, Netanyahu is the one that actually told members of congress to add section 224 (merging the U.S. and Israeli militaries) into the bill.”

Khanna says the quiet part out loud. Our elected officials are subservient to a foreign nation. We are Occupied.

Landlord: Rent has gone up.

Businesses: That’s a natural part of doing business.

Suppliers: Materials cost more.

Businesses: That’s a natural part of doing business.

Worker: My labour costs more.

Businesses: Whoa, whoa... Let’s not get unreasonable here.

He’s not your Tío. She’s not your Momala. They are elected officials that, when push comes to shove, will sell you out at every opportunity.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

The thing about libel is it has to be untrue.

A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out.

That’s apartheid. It’s just literally apartheid.

If you think apartheid is really evil, such that it’s a terrible thing to say about a country, well, you’re right, it is. That’s why we have an issue here.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

The lesson Israel has learned, time and again, is that it can commit genocide and other atrocities with near-total impunity.

Now it's exporting the Gaza playbook to Lebanon.

Israel's war in Lebanon is killing thousands and displacing over a million.

NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL.

How many times have they sold and resold this same story about Biden and now Trump being secretly VERY VERY mad at Netanyahu

[TrekkerTeach @trekkerteach12]

This is actually a good example of a larger problem w Becerra - he sees the law & status quo as something to uphold, even if it is unjust. He doesn't FIGHT to CHANGE immoral policies. It's just a shoulder shrug and a "it is what it is" attitude. NOT leadership material.

[Emily "My Former Ignorance Was Bliss" B @EmilySD101]

@JiimBobCorndog @j3lte That I agree with you that suing and also getting the attorney general involved is a good idea. You don’t need a lawyer to call the state and ask them to investigate.
