🧵BREAKING: Today, on Nakba Day, we submitted to the UN the most thorough legal analysis of Israel's actions since Oct. 7, finding that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”
As a senior Dem aide told me yesterday: People don’t trust us. We say things like Black Lives Matter and defund the police then we fund the police. We say ceasefire in Gaza and then we send weapons to Israel. People hate institutions. We are the institution
This otherwise pedestrian incident has now received official comment from both the US President and Canadian Prime Minister, in defense of the hooligans that actively instigated the incident, while the media refuses to provide even an objective account.
Why is Israel special?
AOC: “Democratic Party is not a left party. Um. The Democratic Party is a center or center conservative party. We can't even get a floor vote on Medicare for All. Not even a floor vote that has voted down. We can't even get a vote on it. So this is not a left party. There are left members inside the Democratic Party that are working to try to make that shift happen. But you're right, it does convey a certain sentiment about true believers and, and there are a lot of true believers in that we can capitalism our way out of poverty, um, in the Democratic Party, if anything, that's probably the majority, um. And that's an area in which I agree with dr King, that that assessment is flawed.”
Nothing that happened in Amsterdam is a fraction as tragic as what occurs every day in Gaza as a direct result of President Biden's callous disregard for human life, and prioritization of Israelis over others, as demonstrated here.
A stain on the history of America.
The Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted.
We've been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable.
We must relentlessly fight Antisemitism, wherever it emerges.
This is Israel's starvation strategy in action. It allowed only 30 trucks a day into Gaza in October compared to 500 before the current war. That doesn't begin to support more than 2 million Palestinians. https://t.co/tlajejWeZy
@terryjt1 I think the biggest liability for Walz is that he's not a great debater, and being amicable (as with the Vance debate) means the best you do is break even. In a crowded field, that's probably not enough.
I'm all for Tim Walz 2028. Just seems like an excellent, genuine human being who believes exactly what he says, and tries to improve people's lives.
Democrats need more like him.
There are a lot of Mike Davises in the world. I am just now learning that one of the worst ones may soon become the most famous one.
Preemptively:
"No way! Why should I change? He's the one who sucks."
"We're gonna deport a lot of people, 10 million people and growing - anchor babies, their parents, their grandparents. We're gonna put kids in cages. It's gonna be glorious."
-Benny Johnson, linked to Russian disinfo, with Mike Davis, a possible Trump AG.
Dropout is one of the most genuine, kind, hilarious collections of creative people I've encountered on the internet in years. Maybe ever.
To see them threatened is unconscionable. Particularly given the cause for which they're being threatened. Appalling.
Since Monday, Dropout has received an unsustainable amount of physical threats to the safety of our staff and existential legal threats to the company.
To Israel, these were all terrorists, or terrorist sympathizers, or potential terrorists.
There will be no restraint and no remorse, because they do not see Palestinians in human terms.
And Americans are funding and facilitating this atrocity.
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.
“20,000 missing children in Gaza — some maimed beyond recognition.
On top of the 17,000 killed in 12 months.
We call it genocide because it is genocide.”
—UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese
This is truly despicable rhetoric from someone that represents our nation.
Documenting genocide and atrocities does not make someone antisemitic. But it's certainly inconvenient to have those truths publicized, so the choice is to slander her character.
A former Biden State Department official says the administration's human rights ultimatum to Israel was a fraud designed to trick voters into thinking that policy might change if they vote for Democrats.
The fact that Harris believes 1,200 Israeli deaths is the "most tragic" aspect of a conflict that's killed 40,000+ Palestinians, over 14,000 of whom are children, speaks directly to what her policies and priorities will be in office.
Damning and disheartening.
The fact that Harris believes that 1,200 Israelis is the "most tragic" aspect of a military offensive that's killed 40,000+ Palestinians, more than 14,000 of whom are children, says all anyone needs to know about what her policies and priorities will be.
