@briebriejoy I agree with the ineffectual nature of AOC but do we get to where we are now (the insurgent left taking multiple federal level seats) without the normalization of socialism done by the presence of both Bernie, AOC, and those that have engaged with entryism?
Next Friday, powerful House Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) will join Summer Lee (@RepSummerLee) at a campaign event for Tennessee congressional candidate Justin Pearson (@Justinjpearson).
Summer Lee recently called me a racist after I asked her to condemn Hasan Piker (@hasanthehun) for walking around Delaney Hall with a gas mask hours before the pro-open border riots.
Justin Pearson, on the other hand, recently thanked anti-Trump protesters for getting arrested on his behalf at the Tennessee State House.
AOC is really choosing some high quality company to associate with.
NYT ran the fraudulent “Screams Without Words” Hamas Oct. 7 rape story as front-page News. Meanwhile, an article with actual evidence of unspeakable Israeli rape and sexual violence against Palestinians is relegated to the “Opinion” section:
“Last March, a fog took hold in my head and never left. It settled there somewhere between the moment a DHS agent asked me, ‘Are you Mahmoud Khalil?’ and the moment I realized that I would miss the birth of my first child,” writes Khalil.
A year ago, the Trump administration unlawfully arrested Khalil at his home and detained him for 104 days. “I walk free now, only after an army of lawyers sued the administration for targeting me because of my pro-Palestine speech. But the government is relentless in targeting me,” he writes. “So when I walk, I watch my back.”
“When strangers approach me and ask, ‘Are you Mahmoud Khalil?’ — the same words in the same expectant tone the DHS agent used before the handcuffs — I do not know if they want to shake my hand or spit in my face. I do not know whether they will say, ‘Thank you for what you're doing,’ or follow me through midtown aggressively shouting, ‘Am Yisrael Chai.’ Both have happened. At first glance, I can never tell them apart.”
In a new essay, Khalil writes about grappling with these two truths: “That I walk through the city afraid and that the city, in small and persistent ways, tells me I am welcome. That I am watched and that I am seen.” Read it in full: https://t.co/wQyxkGZoyk
⚡️⭕️ Lebanon: News reporter Amal Khalil was martyred in southern Lebanon after enemy army aircraft pursued her and targeted her with several strikes that first hit her car, then the house she took refuge in, in a clear targeting of the press and journalists in Lebanon.
@BertJohnso21094@mattvanswol Literally all of those agencies and departments existed in 1984 lol and no one in congress is a communist stop deluding yourself
Sumayya, the daughter of Al Jazeera journalist Mohammad Samir Washah, stood in front of the camera two years ago in an oversized press vest, speaking about her dream of becoming a journalist in Gaza.
Today, she is mourning her father, killed by Israel in a targeted strike on his car.
He leaves behind four children.
@preset_2m3 Isn't this just straight up misogyny, like you are only attacked because you are an attractive woman. You are literally a student speaking about your interests that is the foundation of intellectualism. These guys are just upset that you do it better than them.
Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance.
Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.

Well, we are.

on the day that israel officially signed a death penalty law for palestinian detainees, jake tapper is currently doing a panel on cnn about "my antisemitism" absolutely insane.
Here is the spokesperson for the Israeli military back in February, putting a target on the back of Al Manar correspondent Ali Shoeib and Al Mayadeen correspondent Fatima Ftouni.
The Israelis killed them last night, along with Fatima's brother, Mohammad Ftouni, a photographer. They are not denying they did so, and are claiming they killed Ali because he was reporting in the south, a war crime of the highest order. They have not even bothered to present a justification for assassinating Fatima, though this post makes clear she was also targeted, and wasn't just killed because she was with Ali.
To invade another country and then to kill unarmed journalists there because they are reporting on your invasion is so far beyond the pale it's shocking even for Israel.
They didn’t just k!ll him. They cut up & dissolved his body in acid. His k!llers kept his tooth as a trophy and his family only got it 61yrs later. A tooth. Thats all they have left of him. Belgium does not get enough hate imo.
