[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

In the time since Russia launched its assault, Ukraine has won the battle of Kyiv, reclaimed over half of its seized territory, and safeguarded its independence.

And they continue to defend their freedom.

Today, I'm announcing a surge in assistance to help Ukraine win this war.

"So the US general takes the word of a foreign general over his own officer who he's sent to investigate?"

Some new information here on the awful case of American/Christian/journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, whose death in a press vest and helmet the Biden administration intentionally misled the public on

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Unbelievable (or not really).

Laura Loomer and other Israeli loyalists have spent weeks screeching that Muslims shouldn't be able to vote, be in the US, hold public office.

To satirize that, TPUSA's @EvanAKilgore said the same about Jews, right over Loomer's tweet, verbatim.

But Israel loyalists chopped off the context to make it seem like his statement came out of nowhere, all so they could do what they most love: scream RACISM and self-victimize.

@Halalcoholism i haven't seen the video to be clear, just responding to your general point, im also from an immigrant family btw

[Gadfly @GadflyBeats]

@Halalcoholism your context fails to justify why its a good thing to have our cbd largely comprised of non-citizens. its a fair point about the day/night crowd, still it's had a negative impact on our city's culture, it's about money for universities which have become useless to actual citizens

You will be miserable to the degree that you are hung up on the notion that things should, must, go a certain way—that is to say, to have a fixed view. If you have no fixed view, you remain elastic.

[Ben Avery @benaveryisgood]

Hate when I over-simplify everything by saying killing children is bad. It’s very nuanced. I need to stop doing that.

Matt Taibbi is calling it on Russiagate:

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Israel’s war in Gaza is so lopsided that there’s no rational argument American taxpayers should be paying for it. With tens of thousands of civilian casualties, there’s a moral dilemma too. I vote to stop funding their war and lobbyists for Israel pay for campaign ads against me.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

“If you want be a nonprofit that parrots the line of the Israeli government, you should go ahead and do that. This is a free country...

To then call it The Free Press, to call it a news organization, and to say that it's doing heterodox work against the interests of the powerful — was the part that kind of was a little bit lacking to us.”

— Drop Site's Ryan Grim to @Glenngreenwald on System Update to discuss his recent article with @MazMHussain on the pro-Israel group channeling “news” content through Bari Weiss’s "Free Press".

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

I know I should be celebrating this, but it’s just so dark to only join the consensus when it’s too late to have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

So Trump thinks there's starvation in Gaza because he saw it on TV and Obama thinks there's starvation in Gaza because the New York Times told him it was ok to think that.

Can we PLEASE move on from boomers?

[Gadfly @GadflyBeats]

this is intolerable and has no chance of being a long term solution

🚨Sen. Lindsey Graham: “Israel Will Take Gaza Down Like We Did Tokyo and Berlin”

On NBC’s Meet the Press, Senator Graham touted what he described as a big shift in Israeli strategy:

“I think — what we’re talking about today is a change in strategy. … There’s no way you’re going to negotiate an end of this war with Hamas.”

“They’re going to do in Gaza what we did in Tokyo and Berlin — take the place by force, then start over again, presenting a better future for the Palestinians.”

While endorsing a campaign of mass civilian death and destruction, he called Hamas “religious Nazis” and stated that Israel has concluded it must dismantle the group militarily to ensure its security.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

President Trump is enabling a genocide against the Palestinian people, just like President Biden before him.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

What is happening in Gaza is 100% a "US problem."

The US Government -- the US worker -- has paid for Israel's destruction of Gaza, armed it, and diplomatically protected it under Biden and Trump on a fully bipartisan basis.

It's a US crime as much as an Israeli crime.🇮🇱🇺🇸

[Gadfly @GadflyBeats]

it isnt

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

'Irregardless' is a word.

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

All of these countries now signaling that what is happening in Gaza is wrong and demanding the starvation end is pure theatre.

What it signals is that Netanyahu has almost completed the task— to ethnically cleanse and destroy the region so that Palestinians cannot return.

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

I did a Radar on Israel's "lie, dodge accountability, admit the truth too late" cycle in *November 2023.* I was called "anti Semitic" for reporting on this pattern.

Liberals have absolutely no credibility to talk about "misinformation." It's a bipartisan effort.

[Gene Epstein @GeneSohoForum]

Simple explanation: US gov't & thus its taxpayers, are massively supporting Israel's policies in Gaza, not other atrocities named. So college campuses are quite logically focusing on where our gov't is actively complicit.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Israeli officials now admit: No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid

No kidding. It's amazing how easy it is to deceive Israel loyalists. IDF releases a no-context video of 3 Palestinians eating, and they run around saying: see, Hamas steals the food!

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

Beheaded babies, Hamas mass rapes, Hamas HQ under Al-Shifa Hospital, Hamas blocks a ceasefire, Hamas steals aid: Israeli propaganda to wage genocide.

These lies are always parroted by Israel apologists and media stenographers, and are always admitted to be fake long after serving their purpose of enabling Israeli mass murder.
