I remember how much Muslims were lectured about the importance of a right to offend being part of a right to free speech.
We were told that we must accept offensive and racist remarks about our faith, our Prophet, etc, in the name of free speech and integrating into 'Western civilization'. Voltaire and the rest.
Those same folks who lectured Muslims are now saying to people that they cannot be offensive about a dead conservative influencer - and they will be punished if they do so. Even if being offensive in one's speech is literally what the First Amendment guarantees.
Oh, the hypocrisy. Oh, the gaslighting.
@jk_rowling So why is the United States State Department targeting people who are talking about Charlie Kirk in a non-mainstream way? Why are students who protest against Israel at risk of being expelled or losing their financial aid? Free speech doesn’t truly exist.
@ValentinaForUSA Since when do you even live in Texas? Didn’t you just lose an election in Missouri? Don’t let your misinformation get the best of you.
@amuse There’s politicians wearing Israel and Ukraine flags. If you don’t have a problem with that, then don’t bring up issues about having a Palestinian flag. It’s America, you can wear whatever flag you want especially if it’s where your family is from.
Today marks six months of war in Gaza.
We’ve compiled a thread detailing half a year of The New York Times’ complicity in Israel’s genocidal assault. Share widely!

Me: "Hey Siri, describe a win-win scenario."
Siri: "Sure.
An example of a win-win scenario would be the US ending all aid to Israel and withdrawing all troops from the Middle East.
This would save billions of dollars, which could be spent on America's domestic issues, (there's a lot), and would also improve relations between Middle Eastern countries and the US.
Middle Eastern countries like Syria, Yemen, Iraq etc, could focus on rebuilding themselves without worrying about western intervention, and Iran would be far less hostile towards the US because of this."
Me: "Well Siri, that seems great! So why doesn't the US do just that?"
Siri: Good question!
The vast majority of American politicians are bought and paid for by Israel.
Israeli lobbies like AIPAC, and other private billionaire Jewish donors, provide the financial means for politicians to be elected, and in return the politician protects Israel's interests first.
Congress is quite corrupt!"
Me: "So why do Americans perceive Iran as a threat?"
Siri: "Iran is a threat to Israel, not the US.
Iran only hates America for its actions in the Middle East, and its diehard support for Israel.
As soon as this ends, Iran's hatred for the US would decrease significantly.
The Israeli lobby have convinced Americans that Iran is an enemy of the west in hopes of triggering a full-scale war with Iran.
A war with Iran would hold no benefit to the US, but would greatly benefit Israel as it would mean one more threat to the existence of Israel would be wiped out.
This would be another example of American lives, and most likely the lives of other western nations, being discarded for the safety of Israel.
In conclusion, if America wants what's best for its national security and the interests of its people, it should:
- End all aid to Israel
- Withdraw its troops from the Middle East
- Reallocate that money to solve America's own domestic problems"
Me: "Wow Siri, thanks!
I now know that Israel has a chokehold on the US and the sooner that chokehold is removed, the better!"
Ackman: Jews don't plagiarize; only schwarzes do! Jewish billionaire William Ackman was angry that Harvard students opposed genocide in Gaza. He was angry that Harvard president Claudine Gay didn't suppress the students' First Amendment right to speech and assembly. He then demanded that Gay be ousted because she supposedly committed plagiarism. Gay was ousted. When a Jewish billionaire says that the Black president of Harvard must go, she goes. But then it was discovered that Ackman's wife, an Israeli-born former lieutenant in the Israeli air force, committed plagiarism. Ackman is now hopping mad. Only schwarzes are supposed to be punished for plagiarism. Ackman is now threatening to expose plagiarism among faculty at MIT (where his plagiarizing wife taught). I for one am relieved that Ackman didn't order his wife to drop 2,000-pound bombs on MIT.
we got $100 billion dollars for these fuckass governments but not enough for universal healthcare, housing support, to reduce inflation, student loans, etc.?????
