Expand the Supreme Court or we lose our democracy to a right-wing Christian theocratic autocracy.

You don't seem to understand that nobody buys your bs anymore. I would have been glad to see the Allies force Germany to create a Jewish homeland in a prime part of their country, guaranteed by US troops. But even as a kid I wondered why would you go from the Holocaust to trying to have a nation amidst hundreds of millions of people who don't want you there. As the founders of Israel admitted, the only way to create Israel was to drive out the people who were living there. Any group of people, Jews included, has the right to a homeland. They just don't have the right to someone else's homeland, unless you're going to say that every ethnic group who lived somewhere 2,000 years ago can go back to it and kick out the people currently living there. If you don't agree with that, then you're supporting Jewish Supremacy.

MAGA man punches Amazon delivery driver in face—for speaking Spanish.

Man put his hands in his pants pockets and acted like he had a gun.

Threatened his partner to "stop recording" and to "put the phone down.

Despite fear of retaliation—she did file an official police report.

The husband-and-wife team works together delivering packages for Amazon.

Their assault was filed with the Smithfield Township Police Department in Jefferson County, Ohio.

Support for Israel is increasingly a minority position in America. From the latest @pewresearch poll:

"60% of Americans said they hold unfavorable views of Israel, compared to 37% who view it favorably." (last year those figures were 53%/45%)

"74% of Americans ages 18-34 hold unfavorable views of Israel, compared to 65% of those aged 35-49 and 49% of those 50 and older." https://t.co/xOGyemJZ1j

Israel was meant to fully withdraw its troops from Gaza under the ceasefire signed in October. Instead of pulling back, Israeli forces are expanding and entrenching heavily fortified positions across the enclave.

I just offered an amendment to prevent anyone convicted of heinous crimes — from attacking law enforcement to molesting children — from getting money from Trump's taxpayer financed slush fund.

Republicans blocked it.

All to please the Dear Leader. It's sick.

[Progressive Avenging Angel @JeroldBlock]

Only if you equate anti-genocide with anti-Semitism is his statement true. Meanwhile his Republican party, especially the MAGA part of it, is infected with a virulent racism. This type of obfuscatory bs doesn't work with the American public anymore, as polls show. Doesn't work with the vast majority of the 7 billion people on earth.

'We were ordered to kill': The 1967 Nakba that Israelis don't know about https://t.co/RpZHWc6IhN

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

The House voted today on a new measure to fuse elements of the Israeli and US militaries, particularly on the cyberweapons front. Section 224, as its known, is included in the National Defense Authorization Act. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced an amendment to strip it from the bill. Watch as a stream of Republicans and Democrats stand up in support of the enhanced cooperation. Only Rep. Sarah Jacobs (D-Calif.) joined Khanna, and the measure failed in a voice vote. Watch:

Remember how everyone rushed to use his photo, of his walking toward an IDF tank to advocate for the lives of his patients? Rushed to plaster it everywhere, rushed to make AI edits, art, whatever. That was in December 2024.

How often is he mentioned today? He is alive, he is being tortured and slowly killed - he, alongside every Palestinian hostage, must be freed.

@MarcoFoster_ @MaryLTrump @WajahatAli Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Especially adding the seats!!

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Mary Trump: “Don’t waste our time running as a Democrat if you are not running on Supreme Court reform. And I don’t mean reform around the edges. I mean you’re gonna add 4-6 seats immediately. You’re going to implement term limits. You’re going to put in an ethics criteria and you’re going to make sure many of these most egregious decisions are undone”

BREAKING: HELL YES! Albania strikes a crushing blow against Jared Kushner's corrupt private island development by FREEZING the bank accounts of a major company tied to the project.

And it gets even better...

According to Albanian reporter Lindita Cela, the nation's anti-corruption prosecutors have frozen the accounts of a landholding company involved in Kushner's $4 billion luxury resort plans.

The move comes as massive protests sweep the country, with local residents incensed at the idea of Ivanka and Jared gobbling up coveted real estate to create a vacation spot for the Epstein Class. The slogan “Albania Is Not for Sale" has been spreading like wildfire and clashes between police and protestors are increasing in intensity.

The asset seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime and is part of a broader investigation into possibly fraudulent property titles.

Suspiciously, the company in question is owned by Qatari oligarchs Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat. Kushner's ties to dirty Gulf money are well-established. They blossomed during his time in the first Trump administration, where he twisted American foreign policy to benefit specific actors in the region in return for massive investments and business advantages. This deal is rotten all the way to the core.

The Al-Khayyats have snatched up property along a protected stretch of coastline of the Adriatic Sea and it's here and on a nearby island that Kushner intends on erecting his resort for the top 1% of the top 1%. Given what we know about the Trump family, it's safe to presume that the development will serve as a paradise for pedophiles, war criminals, and human traffickers.

But this time, Jared bit off more than he can chew. Albanians are a proud, defiant people. They've survived centuries of larger regional powers seeking to divide their land, rewrite their history, and erase their culture. They're not going to let one greedy businessman defeat them now.

We stand with Albania!

Kushner out! Ivanka out!

Do you stand with the Albanian people?

Please ❤️ and share to demand more investigations into Kushner!

Good to see the Israel supreme court ordering Red Cross visits to the 9,000-plus Palestinians held as security prisoners. If Netanyahu thinks that reports of rape of prisoners are false, he should welcome investigation and exoneration by the RedCross. https://t.co/LsrmomsR73

@grok @academic_la Is that article available in English?

[Progressive Avenging Angel @JeroldBlock]

I must admit, I misread the article and thought that the guest was identifiable as Israeli. Still, the Israeli government says Zionism is inseparable from Judaism. As others have said, that endangers all Jews worldwide. If someone is Jewish, I would think it's okay to ask them if they support the Israeli genocide, and if they say yes, then bar them because they are supporting the actions of a genocidal government. Again, not because of the religion they practice or the ethnic group they're a part of. The bottom line is, pro-genocide Jews are reaping what they sow. And then in a self-pitying fashion lamenting what's happening.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

The 1948 Nakba is very well known, but the ethnic cleansing of 1967 is discussed far lesn, ad it was utterly horrific. Historian Adam Raz has p,ublishsed a well-resourced account in Haaretz today, built on Israeli documents. Here are the main findings:

1) Israel expelled and drove out roughly 300,000 Arabs in 1967, about 200,000 Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, and about 120,000 Syrians from the Golan, where only some 6,000 of an estimated 130,000 remained. One soldier described the Gaza raids: "We grabbed guys, stood them up and eliminated them. In hindsight it looks like murder."

2) This was not an accident; it was intentional policy, prepared for since the early 1960s. Defense Minister Dayan wanted the West Bank emptied and repeatedly welcomed reports of flight. Many villages were destroyed. The KKL later planted Canada Park over the ruins of Imwas, Beit Nuba and Yalu. One soldier said the columns of expelled families reminded him of Jews "trudging through occupied Europe," and his heart sank at the sight.

3) Those trying to return were slaughtered. Troops were ordered to shoot to kill without warning. When one soldier asked whether to fire even if he heard babies crying, the answer was: "Don't be a girl." The IDF itself reported nearly 150 Palestinians killed this way by early September, and Chief of Staff Rabin confirmed these were the standing orders.

4) Crimes were widespread: systematic looting, the execution of unarmed prisoners and civilians, and the bulldozing of Golan villages "so there'd be nowhere to return to." One of the officers who ordered prisoners executed was Moshe Levi — later IDF Chief of Staff. A soldier wrote to his girlfriend that they had turned Sinai into a "valley of slaughter," adding: "I saw too many murders to cry."

5) The legal warnings were ignored. In December 1967, Foreign Ministry legal adviser Theodor Meron wrote that the expulsions were "a grave breach of the Geneva Convention." His summary line captures the whole episode: the Ministerial Committee for Security Affairs "decided to approve the policy anyway."

This sounds incredibly familiar, doesn't it? This is the Israeli way of war, based one slaughter and ethnic cleansing. Nothing changed.

He also then rejected and disowned that guy, treated victims on 9/11 in New York, and served in Iraq where he saved the lives of US troops and eventually rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

But the The Free Press won’t tell you that because The Free Press is trash.

[Progressive Avenging Angel @JeroldBlock]

@danielsgoldman @bradlander Whatever you say is irrelevant, because he won't vote to support Israel's genocide like you will.
