This is the same Kamala Harris who:
1. Refused to meet with Arab
and Muslim leaders in Dearborn
2. Had a Muslim Democrat (and former congressional candidate) kicked out of a speech before she went on stage (no, he wasn't protesting)
3. Had 2 hijab-weating Muslim women banned from a campaign appearance (again, not protesting)
4. Refused to allow a Muslim/Arab Democrat (who endorsed her) to speak on the convention stage
5. Silenced people in the crowd who called her out on her complicity with genocide
So good luck with all of this.
the fell for it award should be tattooed on anyone in advance if they genuinely think aoc's "tirelessly working for a ceasefire" moment wasn't an absolute fuckin tell.
Israel killed Mona Khalil in South Lebanon.
On June 6, they dropped a bomb on her home in Mansouri — flattening it.
Mona, an environmental activist, dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles along Lebanon’s coast.
She died of her injuries today.
"We had a good life in our own country, but we decided to do an armed invasion of someone else's, because we are religious supremacists. Why are you mad at us?"
The planet's most fanatical Israel loyalists now own and control (or are about to) Paramount, CBS, TikTok, Warner Brothers, CNN: all acquired in the last two years by Netanyahu's close friend, Larry Ellison, right as public support for Israel in the US and the west collapses:
City vibes are hard to explain right now. There’s a guy smoking a cigar and holding a broom and everyone is shaking his hand as if he’s an essential worker during the pandemic.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
I don't think people in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran care whether the westerners who oppose their slaughter espouse a left-wing or right-wing political ideology.
I reject the idea that there can be no points of human commonality between the right and left. It is being demonstrated, in real time, that a live-streamed genocide can, in fact, blur (or even erase) hard divisions. The normal revulsion one feels from watching, day in and day out, the unrelenting slaughter of infants, toddlers, children, and innocents is not unique to those on the left or the right. It is a human revulsion.
The realization that a small group of people seem to wield inordinate influence, control even, over our political institutions, financial institutions, media institutions, education institutions, and so on, is also quite the unifying collective event that puts left and right on common ground.
I fundamentally disagree with Norman that some issues are the exclusive purview of the right or left.
Farewell to Stephen Colbert! I will miss your laundering the reputations of war criminals, like when you danced with Kissinger. It's a shame Trump got you fired because he made you a liberal martyr instead of the parable of the Obama era’s humorless and empty corporate moralism.
The nerve @JasmineForUS!!!
To say that @WesleyBell4MO stands for the people of St. Louis and that @CoriBush doesn’t. SMH.
Representative Bush never sent their tax dollars to Israel. She’s St. Louis first!
There are people behind their screens who see these rescue workers tending to a girl and her father, and they press a button and end their lives, then go get lunch as if they are not monsters who should be in prison for life
It is completely insane that we had two teenagers try their best to do a one-for-one replica of one of the deadliest racist mass shootings in history, and somehow it is not the biggest story in the country right now
