For more than 200 years, generations of Americans fought to make this a free country. Never perfect, but always aspiring to it.

MAGA ripping up that legacy to defend Israel against criticism or protest while it is starving a civilian population.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

the adl thinks it’s okay to revoke the green card of student activists. this is supposed to be a civil rights organization btw.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Just so we're clear, announcing that you will starve a civilian population in order to alter the terms of a ceasefire deal is a flagrant war crime of the highest order.

You would not know that from U.S. headlines.

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

This story is so nuts. A Jewish man sees two other Jewish men in a car driving down the road in Miami, he thinks they are Palestinians so he pulls up on them and unloads 17 rounds into their car.

THEN when the two victims are in the hospital recovering, they post about the attack on social media and literally end their post with “De*th to Arabs.”

Three strangers. All Jewish. And they all hate Arabs so much that one tries to kill the other two because he thinks they’re Arabs and then the other two blame Arabs for the attack. WTAF???

I do think if you buy into RFK Jr. at all, you're stupid not just for like a modern person but stupid for someone alive during like Teddy Roosevelt

Such nice, mild, neutral, inoffensive language for whatever foreign land the Israelis decide to take.

Relatedly, no country has a more fascinating recent (~40 years) history than South Korea in case you’re in the market for a new Wikipedia rabbit hole.

@dberrz well, the right-wing views is what draws her to be a centrist (pro-war/Israel) - would love to see what data you're referencing; you may be right but i imagine most Americans who support backing Israel are solid Trump supporters vs. independents

[azimdamani @azimdamani]

@dberrz maybe we have different definitions of progressive; i would think the only people who would consider her progressive are republicans. she's a classic centrist, her platform was virtually indistinguishable from Biden's by election day despite her best efforts to seem different

[azimdamani @azimdamani]

@dberrz but what specifically is wrong about it? it genuinely feels accurate to me but would love to know what you disagree with

[azimdamani @azimdamani]

@dberrz this feels like more of an observation than a take?

Israel is ordering the evacuation of the capital city of a sovereign state so it can bomb it to rubble.

[Daniel Denvir @DanielDenvir]

The muted response in the United States to a Jewish woman becoming the president of Mexico—a Jewish woman who is a leftist and supports Palestinian liberation—it tells you everything you need to know about the cynical weaponization of antisemitism to silence and repress the left.

[Rembert Browne @rembert]

my guy coates saw the morning show ambush coming and was READY. so so inspirational, to gain access and then make them feel betrayal when you don’t play their games.

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Ta-Nehisi Coates’s writing on race fueled a reckoning in America. Now he wants to change the way we think about Israel and Palestine.
