If you can’t see what’s happening in the US right now to protect Israel — the systematic assault on our basic rights of free speech and academic freedom — it’s because you don’t want to see it:
White House: “Nobody was asking me about red lines a week or so ago when there were other airstrikes in Rafah that didn't cause civilian casualties.”
Last month I asked about Rafah strike that killed 17 kids, 2 women + a man, his pregnant wife, their 3-year-old kid.
No response.
It's true: the House is about to pass a bill that would de-fund the Defense Department, State Department, and National Security Council unless and until Joe Biden agrees to facilitate the totally uninhibited, conditions-free transfer of US arms to Israel. Simply incredible stuff
Israel and Ukraine, the two most lavishly-funded US client states -- which we're always being told are glorious bastions of freedom and democracy -- oddly continue to aggressively abolish any remaining remnants of basic press freedom

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: Students have taken over Hamilton Hall.
This escalation is in line with uprisings in 1968, 1985 and 1996, which Columbia repressed then and celebrates today.
All power to students putting their bodies and livelihoods on the line to stand against genocide.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
Your regular reminder that genuine religious fanatics play a large role in dictating GOP foreign policy on the Middle East, and they want to take as all on the apocalyptic ride
