New talk, from the heart...on what #DNA teaches us about history, sharing, and how to secure a justly equitable future.

@vsbuffalo Are you sure it's not LLMs as lab for confirmation bias ;-)...and baseball an Odyssean (per Bart Giamatti) lab for trying to quantify individual contributions to both team scoring & opponent score-prevention...all with distinctively well structured turn-taking?

[Nathan Pearson @GenomeNathan]

@LeBuzzdilyacin1 @IhabHassane As for tactics, yes, I'd instead pointedly ask "Is any state that exiles its own native majority a 'democracy'?? Do you recognize Palestinians' UN DHR-guaranteed right of return?"

But patience for such grace runs thin, given what he knows — and his party's clear strategy.

[Nathan Pearson @GenomeNathan]

@LeBuzzdilyacin1 @IhabHassane 3/And yes, of course he's doing this not on rules or principle, but just crass political pandering to his own zionist base.

(Imagine a Dem in 1986 saying 'The boycott movement asks investors to treat South Africa worse than other countries. I oppose this effort.')

🤮

@LeBuzzdilyacin1 @IhabHassane 2/Just those 8 votes would thus bring >5x the divestment of bond expiry(!)...

But Lander instead chose to, yes, electorally angle, pretending to oppose Israel & Russia while arming one (Elbit stake reportedly rose >6x under him!), while dissembling w/'no politics'/75 votes/etc.

@Bryce_Nickels @megynkelly Rebut does not mean refute (the word journalists so *often* wrongly use).

Joe Rogan making a better argument for "defund" than half the Jacobin-left.

[Nathan Pearson @GenomeNathan]

@LeBuzzdilyacin1 @IhabHassane 4/And as for visions, he craves some 'Jewish & democratic Israel', which, sans yet more genocide, clearly precludes free return.

If not, let him clearly say so. But as long as he/other Dems/ST folks can rail at narrow vagaries ('Gaza conduct'/'occupation'/&c.) don't hold breath.

[Nathan Pearson @GenomeNathan]

@LeBuzzdilyacin1 @IhabHassane 3/Afaik, Lander has not raised a peep even about trying to legislatively extend 2021 fossil fuel law to zionism (or, better, all humanity-criminal state/securities), instead hoping bond expiry bone toss, leaving $>315m🤷‍♂️plum for zionists, will angle him through, justice bedamned.

[Nathan Pearson @GenomeNathan]

@LeBuzzdilyacin1 @IhabHassane 3/If he wants to *also* advocate right of Israel Jews to stay in a future equitable pluralist Palestine, great. But right of return comes first and unconditionally.

[Nathan Pearson @GenomeNathan]

@LeBuzzdilyacin1 @IhabHassane 2/Would we rally round some US office-holder who glibly conditioned the right of native families to live & vote throughout South Africa, versus only in sham Bantustan exile, on 'the choice of White South Africans' — while *increasing* our public stake in apartheid SA companies??

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

AOC struggling to make sense of her unqualified support for the House’s most vocal Zionist after his meeting with Trump’s son in law.

[Nathan Pearson @GenomeNathan]

@LeBuzzdilyacin1 @IhabHassane 'defend[ ]Palestinian rights'??

Please.

He expressly opposes right of return...as it would end Jewish-supremacist rule that, by definition, *requires* exiling, subjugating, or/and genociding Israel's non-Jewish native majority.

And he uses our taxes to do so.

[Nathan Pearson @GenomeNathan]

@fulop_dan @pastramimachine Then he should have had no problem moving on, rather than trying to dally there for his video interview.

[Nathan Pearson @GenomeNathan]

@fulop_dan @pastramimachine You mean as they have done for decades.

But yes, if only they'd just stay quieter about it, stop speaking up vocally, and indulge self-identifying supremacist politicians with keffiyeh photo-ops, you'd consider letting them come down for a nice quiet genocide dinner.
