The Good Samaritan, in providing material aid to the injured traveller, has cruelly denied him the ability to pull himself up through hard work and ultimately fostered a lifelong dependence on handouts

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Democrats have provided reflexive & unconditional support to Netanyahu & Israeli governments, even as they undermined the values we claimed to stand for.

It's time to end taxpayer-funded support & condition arms sales to end the occupation & salvage a 2-state solution.

HUGE: J Street now backs blocking all aid to Israel, including for “defensive” weapons like iron dome.

Just weeks ago this was a controversial position for Democrats, now J Street is backing it. A few years ago a Democrat could get censured for holding this position. @AOC moving on this moved the field.

Leftist radical Dwight Eisenhower: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

While nothing has happened to the men in the Epstein files, people are sitting in measles-ridden ICE jails, 60 to a cell, even after a federal judge has *repeatedly* ordered them to be released.

Even if you take the conservative defense of each ICE killing, you’re left with “We haphazardly scaled up a poorly trained police force to storm into neighborhoods that voted against the president, where we antagonize the local population until someone resists arrest, and then we kill them,” which is morally horrendous on top of being an absurd way to do immigration policy.

By triggering a bond market crash with his research note, Deutsche Bank's George Saravelos might have saved Greenland and the European Union.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

The right wants us to believe that a teen who showed up at a Wisconsin rally with an AR-15 and shot three people is a peacekeeper who deserves to be celebrated, but an unarmed mom driving away from a Minnesota rally was a domestic terrorist who deserved to die.

[Sasho Todorov @SashoTodorov1]

"Fun" fact about the murder of Renee Good. One reason why CBP issued policies instructing officers not to stand in front of vehicles is because of internal reports showing that CBP officers were deliberately doing so to have an excuse to open fire.

In any normal world, the world’s richest man - with multiple government defense contracts - so openly endorsing white supremacist, neo-Nazi views, on his own platform, in broad daylight, would be the biggest story in the world.

After questions from The Intercept, U.S. Southern Command updated its count of civilians killed in boat strikes to 123. https://t.co/Fq3QQK6XjZ

This is rather dramatic but lost in the general media turmoil over everything else - 🇺🇸 is withdrawing from 66 international organizations and treaties, most notably everything connected with climate change, democracy and rule of law.

I worship our brave boys in blue for their bravery. But they're allowed to do anything to anyone when they get easily spooked, like a horse.

Julio Torres' review of BUGONIA: "We have entered an era of necessary skepticism, easily dismissed as paranoia by a ruling class who have positioned themselves as the voice of reason."
