NEW

U.S. Senator Angus King of Maine has issued a new statement in which he says that the Israeli government’s actions are “an affront to human decency.”

He refers to a “deliberately induced famine.”

King says the horrific attack by Hamas “cannot in turn justify the enormous toll on Palestinian civilians.”

He says he will vote to end U.S. support for the current Israeli government until there is a demonstrable change in the direction of Israeli policy.

“I cannot defend the indefensible. Israel’s actions in the conduct of the war in Gaza, especially its failure to address the unimaginable humanitarian crisis now unfolding, is an affront to human decency. What appears to be a deliberately-induced famine among a civilian population—including tens of thousands of starving children—can never be an acceptable military strategy.

While clearly justified in responding to the horrific attack by Hamas on innocent Israeli citizens, that tragic event cannot in turn justify the enormous toll on Palestinian civilians caused by Israel’s relentless bombing campaign and its indifference to the current plight of those trapped in what’s left of Gaza.

I in no way accept or condone the actions of Hamas, but recent events have placed a moral burden on Israel to ameliorate the current crisis, a burden it has thus far totally failed to meet.

For these reasons, I am through supporting the actions of the current Israeli government and will advocate—and vote—for an end to any United States support whatsoever until there is a demonstrable change in the direction of Israeli policy. My litmus test will be simple: no aid of any kind as long as there are starving children in Gaza due to the action or inaction of the Israeli government.”

How did we get into this mess? You ask. Well, too many of you had football coaches for social studies teachers.

She has never claimed a hood, set, or street colors. Private schools do not mean she should sound or act white. You’re calling her hood, street, and gangsta because (as a racist) that’s what you think about Black people & Black culture. White is not the standard. @toddstarnes

@megannn_lynne My grandma loved to try new foods, and my whole life she introduced me to so many new tastes. It was fun to cook her something "new" as she forgot.

When that butcher Putin invaded Ukraine, Trump called it “genius” and “wonderful.”

But people would rather talk about how I mix up names.

Benjamin Franklin wearing a coonskin cap while being received by the French court. "Proper" attire at the time would have been a powdered wig, but Franklin enjoyed playing up his "rustic" American identity. On these trips, he asked for military support for newly independent US.

I honestly can’t believe this needs to be said but: I can understand deportation of people in the country illegally, and I can understand the need to restrain some. I cannot understand MAKING A FREAKING RELAXATION VIDEO OUT OF PEOPLE IN CHAINS. That is some dark shit.

Back in my day there was so much toilet paper and so much eggs that we gathered at night and threw them at the houses of our enemies.

@NBABabySecret My friend and I went to New Orleans in college and decided to do one classy thing, so we booked a brunch at Brennan's. We thought we dressed up enough, but we got sat next to the register, and we could see how much all the other tables were paying.

Slavery is white history.
