2023: The Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass, added in a separate post that she had spoken with Tuchin – an attorney by profession – about the “disturbing” case. ...
Bass later removed Tuchin’s name from the post, saying it was “for the safety of those involved”.

A search for AIPAC, pro-Israel, & Pelosi returned no indicators that they have investigated the matter of pro-Israel lobby influence relevant to Democrats or Republicans.
Even worse, in recent years they have appealed to Pelosi and Schumer to pass anti-corruption legislation!

I just saw a skeet pop up about Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Inc (CREW), and it hit me that they should have uncovered the pro-Israel lobby's outsized influence ages ago. Why didn't they?
CREW has been around since 2003.

Yet another list of congressional Democrats playing for the other side.
Like the list on skeet #1, Every single one of these Democrats have accepted donations from the pro-Israel lobby¹, and many of them have been endorsed by AIPAC.²

Here's a clear image of the Watergate rundown.
Why wasn't it staffed? Look at Trump's crimes compared to Nixon's, does it make sense that Nadler had 5 people for Trump? Rodino had over 100, 44 of them attorneys, for Watergate.
Now we can see why Trump pushed Pelosi for Speaker (IMG 3).

Stop telling people they’re safe based on demographic even if they’re white. I need people to understand that NO ONE IS SAFE. We’re not shouting because we’re mad. We’re shouting because we’re trying to save people.
I’m gonna try to do some farm watch. Stay safe. Please.

Bruce calls on the people to organize: at home, at work, ands in the streets. Says “a union of people around a common set of values is all that stands between democracy and authoritarianism.”
“At the end of the day, all we’ve got is each other.”

Bruce quotes James Baldwin: “in this world, there isn’t as much humanity as one would like; but there is enough.”

Scott's skeet shows us how people in multiple countries view Israel.
Yet again, there's a contrast between the behavior of congressional Democrats vs what the American people think. When Pelosi was speaker, she ensured that House leaders were pro-Israel against the will of democratic voters.

What's next, saying a member of the press was "hit with a rubber ball" after being shot and seriously injured with rubber bullets?
It seems ridiculous and dangerous to use indirect language like "dropped" instead of "fired."

"While Christian Zionist groups pretend that their support for the State of Israel is rooted in a care for Jewish safety, this is a ruse."

The tail has been wagging the geopolitical dog for far too long due to the insatiable greed of our corrupt congress. Priority towards Israel trumps what's best for our country yet it's something both parties can always agree on.

The very last sentence of the book is wondrous the way it slaps back on all that's gone before and makes the metaphor ring. So much bigger than the words.

*Over 40% of covid cases are asymptomatic, so you can have covid and spread it around without ever knowing it.
The only way to check for sure whether or not you've had covid (AFAIK) is to have a blood sample checked for antibodies.
Yet another reason why vaccines and masking are vital

Thank you so much for this. This happened to me with two very common and frequently advertised pharmaceuticals, and the effects were so debilitating that I thought surely I had long covid. I didn't: we tested for antibodies*, & and I have never had covid.
It took months to recover.

Presenting Trump's voters as the primary driver to his election win is insufficient.
Omitting drivers like gerrymandering, voter registration purging, foreign interference, breaches of election systems, & more obscure problems that led to led to his rise in power & will help keep him there.
