FACT: Ken Paxton has no morals and uses his position to run interference for convicted felon, business fraud, adjudicated sexual abuser, and accused pedophile, Donald Trump.
I told you not to negotiate with these right-wing extremists, but you didn’t want it to look like we were prosecuting political opponents.
Now the domestic terrorists are labeling “the left” as a terrorist organization while giving law enforcement and military “full force” orders as they invade American cities against governor and mayor wishes.
We have felon and rapist simps using state resources to attack political opposition.
Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.
We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.
This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.
IDF is now openly acknowledging the 5 journalists they incinerated were indeed operating as journalists, but the IDF believed their work was “combat propaganda.”
The IDF is entitled to its opinion and is free to engage in media criticism, but deliberately killed 5 journalists because you don’t like their work is terrorism, barbarism, a crime against humanity, and should be prosecuted immediately
The answer is that for those still defending Israel, there is no number of stories that will convince them otherwise, because Israel's righteousness is axiomatic and absolute for them. It cannot be unsettled by facts no matter how gruesome or well-substantiated.
While Mr. Bezos — the 2nd wealthiest person in the world — is dining with President Trump & engaging in illegal union busting, Amazon workers are on strike, fighting for decent wages and working conditions.
Amazon: Obey the law. Negotiate a fair contract with the Teamsters.
Bill has been telling this lie for 20+ years, for the sole purpose of justifying Israeli aggression/occupation and whitewashing his role in perpetuating it.
Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben Ami, who made the offer that Bill complains "Arafat walked away from", has said that: “If I were a Palestinian, I would have rejected Camp David as well.” That's because, among other things, Israel would have its major West Bank settlement blocs without offering Palestinians an equal land swap.
It was Israel that walked away from a major Palestinian compromise -- accepting just 22% of the land that Israel stole from them.
Here's how Clinton official Robert Malley put it: "Israel rejected the unprecedented two-state solution put to them by the Palestinians from Camp David onward, including the following provisions: a state of Israel incorporating some land captured in 1967 and including a very large majority of its settlers; the largest Jewish Jerusalem in the city’s history; preservation of Israel’s demographic balance between Jews and Arabs; security guaranteed by a US-led international presence."
Now more than ever, Austin needs legislators to stand up to the Trump-MAGA-fascist forces who plan to use the violent tools of the state to attack our most vulnerable neighbors, not make friends with them. In District 7, the person for the job is Mike Siegel, not Gary Bledsoe.
FYI Austin’s far-right, pro-sweeps, anti-police accountability PAC, Save Austin Now, is supporting Gary Bledsoe in the District 7 city council run off - in case you needed one more reason to go out and vote for @MikeSiegelTX! Early voting goes through 12/10, Election Day is 12/14
Austin run-off early voting starts today! I strongly recommend folks vote for:

If you’ve already agreed to a ceasefire and you are carpet bombing civilian areas because there are a few hours until the ceasefire kicks in…you are so far gone around the moral bend it’s hard to see how you come back. This is just killing for sport.
Mexican President Sheinbaum fires back at Trump in a statement: "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours."
Abolishing ICE shouldn't even be seen as a radical position. It was created in 2003 and well-understood by all to be a right-wing project of the Bush administration. Indeed I'd say if you *aren't* in favour of abolishing ICE, you are unambiguously right wing.
