"Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public — and didn't express opposition in private. 'We had a clear U.S. green light,' one claimed. ... The U.S. side has not confirmed any of that."

Not that it matters but: the Iran deal did not fail, Trump pulled out; diplomacy did not fail, it was never seriously tried; Israel's strike was not pre-emptive; the killing of Iranian high-command and nuclear scientists is assassination not a "remarkable coup of intelligence".

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

It is amazing to see one party openly calling for the arrest of their political opposition while multiple mainstream outlets run stories on the dangers of the extremism of protesters and social media users.

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

I can't explain to you how wild it is to be in LA right now. National news is covering protests as riots, even though the violence is coming from the LEO side. It's chaos, but also totally quiet here in my neighborhood. Kristi Noem's saying she's gonna liberate us & they just arrested my Senator.

It's fucking wild that both political parties have accepted and normalized the idea that it's completely fine for the police to use their bodies and weapons to prevent compliance with the law, and then arrest the "criminals".

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

It's crazy to me that we have on video that cop just deciding to randomly shoot at the back of an Australian journalist while she was reporting, but this level of injuries isn't raising a hell of a lot more concern than the flaming Waymos.

Right now, if you are immunocompromised, getting literally anyone in healthcare to bother actually wearing a mask around you is like pulling teeth. You could be in dialysis or chemo, and still have to beg them every time to put on a mask so they literally won't kill you.

I remember back in 2014 when my dad had cancer almost everyone coming into the room at the hospital would be masked. Nurses, but also non-hcw visitors, at home would put on surgicals without asking. It was Common Sense. It is so, so deeply infuriating that healthcare has regressed to this point.

Buffoonery aside, I think a lot of Americans can't process that multiple generations of Germans renounce and revile past actions rather than treat them as an aspect of of their culture that must be maintained.

In 2017, when Trump implemented the Muslim ban of his first term, the ADL was vocally opposed to it. Now Trump is doing it again, and as far as I can see, the ADL has said nothing.

Opposing the violent dehumanization of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing genocide is a moral imperative. Opposing the rising antisemitic violence against Jewish Americans is a moral imperative. All human lives have value and should be treated as sacred. Dehumanization harms all of us.

The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

This has been bothering me all weekend. It is not possible to be an effective judge once you have lost the trust of the community. If judges can’t be trusted to be impartial and fair, it doesn’t matter what else they can do. Any TO hiring Noah isn’t holding themselves to a high standard.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.
