The IDF has intercepted and kidnapped the Madleen because they didn't want it to deliver baby formula n other things like that to Palestinians who are experiencing starvation due to the Israeli government refusing to allow aid in. That's the story no matter how you window dress it.

This is a consistent theme since yesterday from people on the ground in Paramount. Yes, there are crowds, there are protesters. But they are PEACEFUL. ICE began firing tear gas, flash bangs and smoke bombs once they saw people who happened to be there start filming.

I think we’ve reached the point where it really doesn’t matter if it is ICE or Proud Boys. For these communities, they are all ICE, all Proud Boys, all KKK, all migra. Call them what want, the result & the behavior are the same.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Andrew Cuomo harassed women, covered up deaths, and abused his power. Now he’s being quietly protected by the same New York Democrats who once condemned him. As @lindseyboylan.bsky.social says, they are choosing safety over courage. That choice is cowardly and shameful.

The International Red Cross is the custodian of the Geneva Convention. The 4th Convention after WW2 is to protect ALL civilians during war. Nothing justifies what US and Israel are doing to Palestinians. "We are hollowing out the very rules that protect the fundamental rights of every human being."

I'm only half-watching this Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, but it is hard to overstate how unprepared the committee's Democrats are to fight these nominees. A bunch of elderly statesmen bringing decorum to a gunfight. Pathetic. Get these losers out of my face forever.

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, and paid holiday and sick leave. It would make them tens of billions a year. But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

Why do so many people believe that the function of democratic politics is to win over the people who are diametrically opposed to one's own worldview? The function is to defeat those people. That primarily means getting the people in your faction to vote, not changing people's whole personalities.

Imagine if a referendum were held in which 52% of those who voted declared that the Earth was flat. And that subsequently everyone in the UK was forced to behave as if the Earth was indeed flat, and all main parties said "Ok, flat it is. Evidence be damned." That's Brexit.

According to WAPO, there are currently ~23,000 US citizens in the IDF, part of a military whose two highest officials are under ICC indictment for war crimes and which the ICJ found was plausibly committing genocide. And yet I've never seen anyone talk about the legal issues they might face.
