@sopharela @DelmarHallstl any consideration to canceling/postponing tonight based on the severe weather threats?

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

if right after picking Tim Walz as her VP Kamala had explicitly vowed to end the ongoing Gaza genocide by saying she would withhold all arms and funding supplies and diplomatic cover if it did not stop, and then also unveiled an economic package of free college, medicare for all, and a 15 or higher minimum wage, she would have easily won the election. That's just a fact, as all of this would have energized the Dem base and also poll very well among independents and even some Republicans.

Instead she ran on being the new version of Liz and Dick Cheney, vowing to endlessly continue the ongoing mass killing and rape of Palestinians and regurgitating genocidal atrocity propaganda hoaxes constantly, saying Iran is the greatest threat to the US and must be destroyed, having Mark Cuban as her main economic guru vowing to deregulate and cut taxes and "be good to Wall Street", and saying actually the Genocide Joe economy is wonderful and great and if you disagree you're too stupid to be able to properly read charts per Ezra Klein, Matthew Yglesias, Will Stancil and David Shor.

She ran a campaign by and for neo-con neoliberals, David Frum, Jeffrey Goldberg, Yglesias, Shor, and ate shit for it. She was humiliated so badly by a candidate, Trump, who said the most insane deranged shit constantly about Haitians eating dogs and cats, about how she's not really black, not having a plan for doing anything at all.

And you know why she and Democratic leadership did that? Because they didn't care if they lost. Losing is nothing to them. They keep their donor money. The Dem political PR strategist media class keeps its jobs. In fact, they get even more money because they'll switch to being epic based "resistance heroes" again and fleece their base of even more cash.

Kamala Harris and Democratic leadership intentionally threw the election instead of actually running a campaign that could win, because Israel is Uber Alles for them, Zionism sacrosanct, as are their other corporate overlords.

That's what happend in the 2024 election.

THREAD: It’s now pretty clear what happened in Amsterdam this week. But first some background.

@jake_romm Care to respond to the rumors that J4 will include improvements to our weak and unathletic bodies?

My sources have described early prototypes as being Hank Greenberg-esque. Is this true?

[Yonah Lieberman 🔥 @YonahLieberman]

There is no hierarchy of human life. We can and must mourn Israeli lives today. But it’s morally abhorrent to mourn Israeli lives Hamas took a year ago without mourning the 40x Palestinian lives that Israel took since. We must mourn both and acknowledge Israel’s systemic power.

[Tariq Kenney-Shawa @tksshawa]

Once again, if being pro-Israel was “good policy and good politics,” AIPAC wouldn’t have had to spend $12 million and the ads they paid for would have mentioned Israel. It’s really that simple.

[Jason Rosenberg @mynameisjro]

This is who we lost tonight. Fuck AIPAC.

[Jimmy (not one of those) Rothschild(s) @Pale_0ntologist]

Thinking about the $30M AIPAC et al spent to oust Jamaal and Cori—and thinking about the things that actually keep Jews and our neighbors safe: affordable housing, thriving places of worship, quality education, healthcare, food, etc. How much more good could that money have done?

Thank you!

Got to go on my favorite podcast and discuss the mail, mostly, but also baseball, polycules, and much more! Ben and Meg are even kinder and easier to talk to than I’d imagined.

Check it out, and donate to THISTL at the link in the show page if you can.

Just to be clear: The Anti-Defamation League is calling a Jewish director who won an Oscar for his film about the Holocaust "morally reprehensible".

There is no depth that pro-Israel organizations will not go to smear Jews who dare to speak out in support of Palestinians.

[Dr. Megan Ellyia Green 🌹 @MeganEllyia]

High ranking Israeli officials continue to openly call for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. This language isn’t new. This has been the goal of Israel’s right-wing for decades. The US cannot continue to be complicit. #ceasefirenow

[Alex Levy @IAmAlexLevy]

I go to events, or sign a letter, or make a donation. I do what I can. And then life goes on.

I apply for a new job. I cry in therapy. I spend time with loved ones. I eat Chinese food on Christmas.

In Gaza, life ends. It's taken away. In my name. And I watch. And it hurts.

[Alex Levy @IAmAlexLevy]

I caught up with my Mom this morning. She lives in Israel and was out for a walk. As she strolled past a playground, I heard the familiar noises of children laughing and playing. And all I could think of was the thousands of Palestinian children being slaughtered in Gaza.

[Alex Levy @IAmAlexLevy]

I don't know how to reconcile with the fact that she's ok with genocide. That she justifies it. Let alone that the country I live in funds the ethnic cleaning of Gaza with my tax dollars. Or that, ultimately, there's nothing I can do about it.
