Fun Fact: The President of the goddam United States paid nearly $6 million in damages today to a woman he raped. Once upon a time, this would have been the only news you heard.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE CLEAR: NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL
Today, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie to cut the $3.3 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel. I strongly support this amendment.
Israel, like any other country, had the right to defend itself against the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people. But it did not have the right to go to war against the entire Palestinian population. It did not have the right to kill more than 73,000 Palestinians and wound over 173,000 more — the vast majority of them women, children and the elderly. It did not have the right to destroy virtually the entire infrastructure of Gaza — the schools, the health facilities, the water systems, wastewater plants, the electric grid that a civilian population depends on to survive. It did not have the right to destroy or damage 92% of all housing units in Gaza. In other words, Israel did not have the right to commit genocide. And it did not have the right to escalate its violence and annexation of the West Bank while the world's attention was focused elsewhere.
Tragically, almost five months ago, Israel, with strong support from the Trump administration, launched a reckless and illegal war against Iran — a war that has killed thousands of people and left an already unstable region of the world even more unstable. That war expanded into Lebanon, where Israeli strikes have now killed more than 4,000 people and displaced some 20% of the entire Lebanese population. That is not "defending Israel". These are regional wars of expansion and terror, waged without a clear strategy, and without an end in sight.
The American people are catching on. Polls show that nearly three-quarters of Democratic voters now oppose sending military aid to Israel, as do more than one-third of Republican voters. Just 16% of all Americans support giving Israel unconditional aid.
And I am proud that this past April, 40 out of 47 Senate Democrats — a record number — supported my bill to block arms sales to the far-right, extremist Netanyahu government.
We have enormous unmet needs in our own country. Today, while 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, tens of millions of Americans cannot afford housing, healthcare, childcare and other basic needs. Congress must focus on the needs of their constituents, not an Israeli government that is undermining American values. I urge my colleagues in the House to vote yes on the Massie amendment.
These people are so fucking stupid it hurts to listen to. If someone hides the fact they are gay then they are lying to you, but if they talk about it openly they are shoving it in your face. Stop with the mental gymnastics. Just say you hate them bc ur fragile.
A cop pointing a gun at a guy burning to death is just a perfect image of US police. Literally no sense of duty to help anyone at all. Terrified fascist losers only thinking about how to protect themselves
People who keep talking about “mental illness” here disgust me. As someone who has dealt with suicidal ideation most of their life, the idea to go out in the most painful way possible has never entered my mind. This was a brave political act and you will not erase that.
Her side of the story would give him millions of views, people who don’t watch his show would tune in. He would capitalize off of it and make bank. She would be ridiculed, made fun of and bullied. So why shouldn’t she at least get some money out of it? So exploitative.
If you're going to show up to an interview wearing a shirt with the reporter's face on it to try & troll them, you should at least be prepared to answer relatively straightforward questions about a set of ideas you've built your entire online persona around. Incredible faceplant.
@DLee075 I’m a Sens fan born and raised in Tampa so I follow the lightning a bit as well, Cernak has struggled with injury for the last several years and hasn’t been the same player he was when he came into the league. I wouldn’t take this trade
The post in question was her asking people to donate to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.
That's what she's going to be blacklisted for. Really let it sink in how pathetic the industry leaders are.
There’s really no wonder the original writers left, every interview makes this feel more and more made by execs who have no understanding of the source materials charm
if this were in reverse, we’d see it blasted across every news outlet, hear about it endlessly for years. israel’s evil and the west’s hypocrisy know no bounds
