I got permabanned from Instagram. They did not give a reason. You will own nothing and post about it. Sometimes it feels like we are up against an immovable, evil machine that tempts us to join it. I talk with @RobertSkvarla about why our consciences compel us to fight instead
If the democrats actually cared about winning they would just begin and end every political ad with this clip of Trump saying there would be no Israel if it weren’t for him
I learned from @jakebrodes that Texas Gov Abbott got paralyzed because a tree fell on him, sued for millions, then when got elected passed laws to make what he did illegal. There's a zen koan here. If a trees falls on your Governor, and no one is allowed to sue anymore...
The amount of people saying Tucker Carlson is better than Norman Finkelstein on Gaza is alarming. Finkelstein has dedicated his life's work to the Palestinian cause. Tucker Carlson was defending Israel and the genocide just last April.
NEW FROM ME
Morris Katz, a top advisor to embattled Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, admitted in a 2019 blog post that he has also send explicit material to people in the past.
"I've sent nudes and I've received nudes," Katz said.

Wow so true. Check out how vehemently Tucker opposed Trump's invasion of Venezuela during this meeting with these oil execs on how they were gonna carve up the country's resources. He wasn't even clapping that hard
I've already addressed these warnings from Norman Finkelstein about growing opposition to Israel among numerous leading right-wing figures (which he regards as dangerous and anti-Semitic), but there's one other key point about this video here from his @curaffairs interviw:
Norm claims that the only common ground between the left and this right-wing faction is solely about Gaza (and thus implies that this proves that the anti-Trump Right is anti-Semitic because they only find "empathy" when it involves Israel).
That's just false. The right-wing grievances against Trump from this group go far beyond just Gaza. It includes vehement opposition to his bombing of Yemen, his two attacks on Iran, the invasion of Venezuela, imminent operations for regime-change in Cuba, Trump's reckless rhetorical threats generally, the censorship scheme in the US to protect Israel and far more. For many (Tucker/MTG), it also includes opposition to domestic policies serving mega corporations and hedge funds at the expense of ordinary citizens.
I'll never understand why -- if someone genuinely cares about the issues they claim to care so much about (as I believe Norman does) -- they prefer to remain an impotent minority rather than forming majoritarian *ISSUE-BY-ISSUE* coalitions with other factions in order to actually stop these injustices.
@ggreenwald@curaffairs Wow so true. Check out how vehemently Tucker opposed Trump's invasion of Venezuela during this meeting with these oil execs on how they were gonna carve up the country's resources. He wasn't even clapping that hard
@mdubowitz So cool that the FDD was originally titled "Emet," which is Hebrew for "the truth" and it was founded in 2001 to "provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America and the public's understanding of issues affecting Israeli-Arab relations"
