This man, almost immediately after this post, voted AGAINST a bill to stop the tidal wave of weapons we send to #Israel to slaughter children. This is the man who proudly hosted a wanted war criminal in his office. @CoryBooker.com you have no standing to talk about right and wrong.

There is no conceivable justification for destroying a desalination plant. The only reason to do it is to commit genocide. That has been Israel’s goal from the beginning.

Every month or so we see some version of this headline, as if it's a brand new development. This offer has been on the table since November 2023 and only #Israel has consistently rejected it.

It's a feat to talk for over 25 hours and Cory Booker's speech was a step forward. But what we need are Democrats who offer a positive vision, a viable and substantive alternative. This wasn't it. Color Me Unimpressed by Booker's Speech open.substack.com/pub/mitchell...

I never thought the Florida races would be particularly close, despite the nonsense. But I was worried about this election in Wisconsin, which I see as more important anyway. So I'll take it.

First Columbia, then Harvard, now Princeton. This has NOTHING to do with protecting Jews, it is putting us all in the gravest danger as Trump assaults free speech and academic freedom and says it's because of us. Will Princeton and Harvard cower before a bully like Columbia did? We must hope not.

This means that Netanyahu, who trails Bennett in most polls, will certainly be laser focused on postponing the elections scheduled for autumn 2026 rather than any strategy around winning them. Unlike Gantz or Lapid, Bennett would certainly be quite capable of forming a majority coalition.

There is no crime #Israel accuses #Palestinians of that it does not commit in far greater measure than even their own accusations. And when you hear that the IDF is "investigating" misconduct remember it's both a sham and a token. www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

They targeted and destroyed the building where the girlfriend of a Houthi operative lived. This is hard and inescapable evidence of a war crime. And it's only one example. That's more important than how stupid these people are to use Signal for this.
