For @defector.bsky.social, I wrote about the Zionist propaganda film, “October 8,” paranoia, Adolf Eichmann, and why these people are all obsessed with their phones. This was—even leaving content aside—one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in my life. defector.com/the-paranoid...

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

“Both [Israel and Gaza] are mere background for the real subject of the film, which is the wounded, paranoid feelings of American Zionists. And for this, we must leave Israel and head to the heart of the action: the phone.”

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

I won't speak for others but I want candidates who won't just win the next election but aggressively, unapologetically destroy trumpism and rebuild everything he's broken. If you're too afraid of a 51-49 poll to even talk about an issue I have no faith that will be you

You will never stop me. I love talking on the phone instead of sending countless emails back and forth. I love having a conversation.

Van Hollen has been pretty vocal about Palestine, too. Not a coincidence that he's also stepping up on this.

"Language was a mistake" is one of the very few sentiments I only ever want to see expressed through dance. You must have the courage of your convictions.

This is all going to get harder, but they literally cannot legislate you out of existence. When tomorrow arrives, you will still be here, you will still be who you are, and we will all still be here with you.

This is a very good point that I haven't seen made yet. It's not just Trump that is undermining trust in the US. It is also the inability of US institutions to stop him. And even if you make that "inability to stop him so far," it's already too far to maintain trust.

I would say more broadly that as policy you really shouldn’t allow government officials to accuse people of terrorism anonymously.

One of the sources of rot running through our political, intellectual, and media institutions is the total triumph of the idea that democracy means outsourcing your morality and point of view to a fuzzily incoherent view of what's popular. Total rejection of the idea of morality as personal virtue.

Cuomo rehabilitation is so depressing because of all the guys who got MeToo'd out of politics he was probably the guiltiest. he actually got an investigation and the investigation not only verified the public allegations but also found that there were more victims than the press knew about!
