Adam Johnson, author of How to Sell a Genocide says in order to carry out a genocide, the US, Israel, and liberal media “needed to make a ceasefire with Hamas politically toxic… politically ‘unserious.’”
To achieve that, he explains, “it became so central [that Hamas and Palestinian resistance] are removed from history. And their grievances are [portrayed as] not secular or political but as instead driven entirely by hatred of Jews.”
“Then a ceasefire becomes not only impossible, it becomes immoral… and then genocide was inevitable.”

"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it." - Roald Dahl
@jhd4141 Golfers are so hilariously full of it. Can’t think of a sport more full of itself, yet most of its professionals support a guy who lies constantly and is engaging in open corruption, complete with a slush fund for rioters, among a litany of other horrors. Stay classy golf. 🤢
It is amazing how quickly centrists go from preaching the importance of electing working class candidates to becoming condescending elitists the second a working class candidate is progressive.
The same way they used to degrade AOC for “just being a bartender.”
According to the media, just a few months ago, Andrew Cuomo, whom the DOJ found had sexually harassed more than 13 women, was the best choice for NYC mayor
💔😤 Les enfants cubains: victimes directes de l'étranglement du govt🇺🇲.
📈À titre d'exemple, le taux de mortalité infantile a doublé, passant de 4,0 à 9,9 X 1000 naissances vivantes, et l'espérance de vie des enfants atteints de cancer a chuté de 85 % à 65 %. #TumbaElBloqueo
Capitalists actually believe people exist to serve the market. If a person cannot serve the market in a profitable way, their life has no value.
Socialists also believe the market exists to serve people. If a market cannot serve the people in an equitable way, it has no value.
This week, my amendment to ban billionaire-funded super PACs received unanimous support from my Democratic colleagues.
The momentum is growing. It’s time to repeal Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to the public funding of elections NOW.
We should say it: candidacies like Graham Platner in Maine or Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan have not grown in spite of establishment targeting, but somewhat because of it.
Base anger after 2024 is palpable. And some Democrats want not just an elected who will oppose Trump and Republicans, but one who will also change their own party from within.

Centrists have literally lost three elections to Collins and Mills was underwater in polling against her.
Maybe they should have the tiniest bit of humility when voters want to try something different.
Bouie and French think Platner's character is disqualifying. They have never written about:
1) Gaza
2 revelations that Larry Summers and Bill Clinton spent more than a decade hanging out with the world's most notorious child rapist
3) how billionaires corrupt politics
Jimmy Dore: "We preach democracy to China. But we don't have democracy here - the oligarchs run everything. The Princeton study proved 90% of people's wishes never become law. Only the top 10% of wealthy matter.
In China, the government sits above capital. The economy works for the people. Here, capital sits above government. The economy works for billionaires"
