Per recent AP polling, approximately 4 in 10 religious, and only 2 in 10 secular American Jewish adults (and this is the larger group) believe Israel to be justified in its “military action.”
So then the better question is: why are we giving this minority of a minority opinion outsized weight?
in the late 2000s people used to say "the Internet is forever" meaning online evidence of wrongdoing never fades, but that turned out to be very wrong. this shit is mad ephemeral. I executed a family of six with a claw hammer in 2013 and there's no evidence because I uploaded the vid in flash player
You're supporting a guy whose only good points are (supposedly) supporting policies that will *absolutely* never happen in the near future. It's like he was made in a lab to sucker gullible leftists into supporting a violent bigot.
All I'm gonna say is that if you aren't supporting Graham Platner because he doesn't perfectly align with your view of what a Democrat should be, then you are doing what you said leftists who refused to vote for Harris did. Getting control of the Senate is the goal. Fuck your delicate sensibilities.
The GOP operative that the NYT used as a source despite admitting her allegations were uncorroborated. Also, she worked with right-wing groups to advance Kavanaugh. You can dislike and not vote Platner; that's fine, but why are you falling for an obvious right-wing hit job by the worst people?
Tired of Skinner box games that consist of mindless clicking without dispensing cheese, cocaine, or strategic fulfillment?

One thing I love when you talk about inflation is how many people will just make extremely specific, empirically falsifiable claims - “well, the public just bases inflation perceptions on gas, obviously” - and then smoke-bomb their way out of the discussion like some kind of argument ninja.
Anyway the real heroes of Minnesota are the countless volunteers doing boring shifts where nothing happens. The mom of three delivering food to 40 families in her kids’ school. The dad standing at the door of an elementary with a whistle for hours. The drivers endlessly looping, seeing nothing.
im building machines that i keep saying will both throw you out of work and allow masked special police forces in service to a lunatic i bought and paid for to recognize your face and check if i agree with your beliefs. im part of a pedophile ring that put this into motion. why are you rude to me
I don’t want ICE in my community.
I don’t want strange masked men taking my neighbors.
I don’t want strange masked men lighting fires in my city.
I want the world to see what’s happening in my community.
I want Minneapolis to be left alone and not made into a war zone.
Hey Border Czar Tom “Cava” Homan at @icegov.bsky.social:
You know my name. You know where I live because your agents tailed me home twice. I spent 5 hours today following them and will spend 5 hours tomorrow. Come put me on TV so I can tell the whole world what I’ve seen you do to my neighbors.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”
The statement from Alex Pretti’s parents is just “tell the government to stop telling smirking, transparent lies about why it killed our son” which feels like a new low for our nation. This president and his toadies have brought us to our knees and must be driven out
I understand why people dislike cops. But it's very important to recognize that ICE and DHS are not conducting themselves as cops. They are conducting themselves, at various moments, as an omnipresent secret police, and as a completely unaccountable invading army. Totally separate from policing.
ICE is not law enforcement, they are not police, they are paramilitary. Opposing ICE is not against law enforcement, it is not against police, it is against paramilitary.
The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".
The US is collapsing into fascism and going to war with Europe and the opposition party is like “I’m here to talk about the important thing: how your average grocery bill has risen by two dollars over the last year, which I also have no plan or ability to fix”

The ICE guy I was tailing decided to show me he knows where I live. You can’t really see in the video, but as he drove past my place he reached out the window and pointed at my apartment. Real tough guy
🚨"The [ICE] officer charged me with pepper spray and then clocked me in the eye, knocked off my glasses, then he clocked me again with more pepper spray and punching me and then arrested me," -Mark, an ICE protester with severe black eye from being beaten by ICE. LIVE NOW⬇️
Remember we would always see the “Patriot Front” jumping out of Uhauls, marching through towns? That stopped when ICE got started, I just can’t figure that out
Getting a lot of messages. A lot are like "Can I come help?" (appreciated, but unless you know the area very well, probably not THAT useful) or "Can I send money?" (not to me, please).
But the best ones are like "I want to build what you guys have back in my home city." YES, DO THAT. DO IT NOW.
I can't post on twitter for the time being but if anyone wants to like, screenshot this and tag Homan and DHS and Miller, go for it. it's important to call their bluff. they've downgraded from "we will murder you" to "we will harass you on social media." they're losing and they know it
