This photograph should win a Pulitzer for capturing the media's role in America's descent into post-fact fascism.

This total lack of self awareness is only possible when you don't see the "other side" as human.

What a dumb fucking world we live in where the country that carried our retaliatory attacks is being sanctioned, not the country that provoked the attacks and whose leader has overseen the slaughter of 30,000 men, women, and children in the last 6 months.

[Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi]

To recount: Israel attacked Iran's consulate, killing 16. Iran retaliated with a symbolic show of force, killing no one. Iran is being sanctioned, and Israel (who started this) is demanding an invasion of Rafah in exchange for not continuing to escalate towards WWIII.

I remember when Columbia invited me to give a talk on authoritarianism and dissent in the former Soviet Union and I described…the type of things Columbia is doing to its student protesters now

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

Read it.
Read it again.

Republicans in Louisiana voted to repeal lunch breaks for child workers.

Wrap your head around modern slavery.

This is the Republican Party today.

So cool that the NFL effectively blacklisted Colin Kaepernick for his racial justice stances. But Aaron Rodgers can spout reckless conspiracies about HIV, Sandy Hook, etc, and continue to be one of the highest-paid players in the league.

Imagine if you had a 13% approval rating as a cashier. A 13% approval rating as a server at a restaurant

I wish Americans got more angry at politicians than they do customer service workers who simply get their order wrong

We were the only country to vote against it.

We are the biggest threat to justice in the world.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Only 1 vote against Palestinian statehood at the UN Security Council: the United States.

But the US has veto power, which means it doesn't pass.

If that doesn't convince you of the extreme unfairness of the veto system, I don't know what will.

Yesterday, Rep. Omar provided this line of questioning to the president of Columbia University.

Today, her daughter was suspended by Columbia University.

Alarming, to say the least.

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

“You can’t arrest us all” is actually an approach with a lot of historic precedent and success. Columbia is playing with fire by calling the NYPD on their own students.

This video right here is the finest example of why lawmakers want TikTok banned in America or sold to an American entity.

I don’t ever want to hear anyone say that the US & UK couldn’t intervene on the genocide in Palestine again.

[Taleed El-Sabawi, JD, PhD @el_sabawi]

Don’t tell us we couldn’t have had Medicare for All. Or at least a public option.

[Roger ZenAF 🖕🐸🖕 @RogerZenAF]

See that big white line in the middle, the one where everything started to go to absolute shit?

That's ronald fucking reagan.

It is almost impossible to explain to people how badly reagan fucked this country. They don't believe it, because the gop has turned him into a saint.

[Abier @abierkhatib]

I had a sudden hysterical laugh when I realized that at least 5 countries joined forces last night to intercept the Iranian drones before they hit Israel. This tells u that they could have easily prevented the genocide in Gaza from day one, but they chose not to.

And I'm sad, shamefull and in rage.

[Y Disassembler @loomdoop]

Didn't cost them a penny.

It's all paid for by the American denial of healthcare, child poverty, widespread homelessness, and crushing student debt.

That's the American social contract. We have these dynamics at home, so we can have consequence-free genocides abroad.

[A Left-Wing Account ™️ @PushDemsLeft]

An Israeli cop just brutally murdered a US government employee while he was attempting to rescue an injured person.

Biden promised that "If you harm an American, we will respond," yet his embassy won't even acknowledge who killed him:
