The government brings a verified war criminal to speak before Congress, where he gets a standing fucking ovation and then government has the nerve to lecture protestors about “not supporting terrorism” … like ok sure you first
Grave concern for the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza cannot justify defacing federal property with Hamas slogans. Passionate differences are grounds for fierce debate and meaningful protest, not intimidation and certainly not support for terrorism.
@rabbijilljacobs If someone wants to disagree about whether or not the definition of genocide has been met so be it but the article suggests we are not aware of what the definition is and that’s simply not true for a lot of us. We know. This to me meets the definition of genocide
@rabbijilljacobs But even more troubling is the way Isrrael justifies these actions with language that suggests there are no civilians, that even children are complicit somehow in Hamas’ terrorism. Or that anyone who doesn’t evacuate an area will be considered a militant combatant
Collective punishment is not a Jewish value.
Genocide is not a Jewish value.
Murder is not a Jewish value.
Vengeance is not a Jewish value.
The Jewish thing to do would be to stop the massacre in Gaza and end the occupation.
No killing in my name.
@councilofdc Ffs if you’re gonna make the building blue just say that you mean Israeli lives in the tweet... Do you think none of the 1500 Palestinians who have been killed are innocent? Or that it’s somehow honoring them to display the colors of the army that slaughtered them?
@quartzion55 Yeah plus a critical element of movement building is having lots of people invested/buying in! Dunking on people for liking (progressive!) stuff is simply not a winning strategy
Every time I see that pic of Matt Gaetz at the Barbie premiere I think of this bit from Veep with Jonah Ryan and the focus group

As Sag-Aftra goes on strike, its president condemned a media report that studio executives planned to “bleed out” writers.
“You know what? Eventually, the people break down the gates of Versailles. And then it’s over. We’re at that moment right now,” @frandrescher said.
@BarredinDC@ggwash Ok but this doesn’t seem good at all…the bus lanes are nice but a massive 7 lane highway in the middle of the city is an eff you to almost everyone, and to the bikers who lost the protected bike lanes especially
Mifepristone is safe, effective & still legal. The opinion of one far-right, Trump-appointed, anti-abortion judge won’t change that.
The @US_FDA’s authority over the drug approval process is clear & it must disregard this lawless, dangerous ruling.
