@suekhi Fact-check: The Democratic Convention is at the end of August.
Parties decided at open conventions for over a century. It's the way conventions worked from the mid-19th century through 1968.
It's why we still have conventions and delegates and super-delegates.

The New York Times reports Israeli military is torturing people by impaling them with hot metal rods in their rectums and tying them to electric chairs. This information is buried at the end of a single article where these details are unmentioned in the headline or subheadline.

[Hadi @HadiNasrallah]

The US officially went from “Israel has a right to defend itself” to “Israel has a right to target civilians”. This is evil.

Israeli officers have sodomized Palestinian prisoners to death at Sde Teiman desert concentration camp, after kidnapping them in Gaza

According to a leaked UN report, one prisoner said interrogators “made me sit on something like a hot metal stick and it felt like fire,” and said another detainee “died after they put the electric stick up” his anus

This sentence should bring shame to the world.

You have to read the very bottom of the New York Times investigation into Israel’s torture center to find the most horrifying discoveries, including systemic rape with a metal rod

It is an enormous fucking problem with our democracy that a lobby organization — whose entire mission is to ensure Congress gives unconditional support to another country currently being investigated for war crimes — can upend a primary election by spending 10x more than anyone.

Israeli soldiers rounded up Ahmad Safi and his male family members in Khan Younis and made them stand atop a sand dune for 12 hours as the soldiers took cover behind them during a firefight with Palestinian resistance fighters. This is their story.

Ending the Jewish state is not ending the Jewish people. No one needs to die. No one needs to get hurt. They simply need to let go of their privilege over others, which often is lethal for those others.

"West Bank land long used by Palestinians" is an incredibly tortured way to say "Palestinian land" or just "Palestine."

NYT never ceases to amaze in its deliberate refusal to use straightforward language about the violence and crimes committed against Palestinians.

[Tom Gara @tomgara]

Israel has rejected Israel’s ceasefire offer, once more raising the pressure on Hamas to accept Israel’s ceasefire offer. This could all be over tomorrow.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Netanyahu should not be involved in any negotiations, he should be arrested and tried for the crime of genocide.

That’s why these ceasefire negotiations keep falling through, because it’s not a war, it’s a genocide and an ethnic cleansing campaign of Palestinians.

@robinbudd_vfm @halalflow @NaomiAKlein I’m at my wit’s end over the fact that “Biden v Trump” is the choice that’s being forced on me. Why don’t we have other choices, when we know a majority of Dems, let alone Americans, have opposed this genocide for months?

[Greg Goodman @gregrgoodman]

@robinbudd_vfm @halalflow @NaomiAKlein Why is this the only question? Why not, “What do we need to do to stop Biden’s (and USA’s) support of a genocide?” “What do we need to do to get a different candidate who doesn’t seem sure to lose?” “Why are candidate more important than policies?”

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

These issues are linked. The elected officials who fund a genocide will never have the empathy needed to address the needs of the working class.

If someone can send bombs to slaughter kids, they will never care about people going bankrupt due to medical debt.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

This Rafah attack by IDF is horrific, killing innocent children, women and elderly. This IS an incursion into Rafah, the very incursion that @POTUS said he would not tolerate & would lead to stopping aid. It's past time. There is nowhere safe in Gaza.https://t.co/vxqBIYnSOF
