do not despair but be heartened - this is a desperation tactic because they've lost control of the narrative and they know it
hate speech is rarely prosecuted, this is just an intimidation tactic, to make you think twice before saying Israel is evil
don't let them silence you
The House just passed the "Antisemitism Awareness Act", a bill that classifies any criticism of Israel as antisemitic, particularly the Free Palestine protests on college campuses. Giving law enforcement legal protection to act against protestors.
I feel sick
Democrats: Biden's pissing off the far-right AND far-left. I guess he's doing something right ๐
the far-left: American imperialism is the greatest source of evil in the world and should be dismantled
the far-right: Jewish space lasers are vampire adrenochrome Q
When I was 11, I was a victim of police brutality just for being Black in America. Now I see that brutality being inflicted on peaceful students at Columbia and across the country.
We must stand with our students to demand liberation for Palestinians and everyone in this world.
@JohnBalash then I guess Biden and the Democrats should reverse course so they can earn more votes
if the literal planet is on the line, it's time for them to put their egos aside and do the right thing
@SeattleSamuraiS and Biden has no responsibility? the Democrats have no responsibility?

@thefurlinator well wtf did you expect? these are the politicians you champion. this is who you're running defense for in all your screeching about leftists
this is what WE'RE against and YOU support, you bootlicker
@tbailey1976@DavidAstinWalsh I'm a disabled poor trans lesbian and he's completely in the right
what we saw today was naked fascism lead by Democrats, and I will not vote for that
I'm willing to suffer whatever happens under Trump
I will never vote Democrat again
I'm not even going to bother to respond in detail to the hornet's nest in my replies, but look:
I've voted the straight Democratic ticket my entire life. I've *never* missed a major election. And I wrote an entire goddamn book about the fascist tradition in American conservatism
@CantEverDie by the end of the year they're going to repeal the First Amendment
I wish I were joking, but they'll absolutely go that far to stop criticism of lsrael
