Buttigieg considers a free Palestine a "maximalist position" that's unattainable: Zionists can keep the land they stole, and Palestinians have to accept it. He opposes the BDS movement. He hasn't rejected the IHRA definition of antisemitism. In short, anti-Palestinian. apnews.com/article/butt...

Another example of overstating antisemitism by conflating anti-Israel, anti-Zionism and antisemitism. By this measure, antisemitism is rising in Israel as well. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/19/e...

There's a lot of talk about how Europe has to help Ukraine in order to prevent future threats from Putin. While this is true, Europe also has to help Ukraine to prevent future threats from Trump, too. The have to help Palestinians for the same reason. If they capitulate to TrumpPutin, it won't end.

Not true: an idiot would also vote for it. So let's start by no longer protecting idiots from themselves so they learn a lesson. Take care of everyone in your blue state and coordinate mutual aid among other blue states. Leave the veterans who've been extremists for decades to what they voted for.

Parts of this story don't make much sense, like the fact that a lot of Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jews are anti-Israel. I'd guess leaving those parts out make for a better spectacle to market. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

One reason we're where we are is normal being enablers of right-wing dysfunction. Dems should stop being enablers. Let rural, Southern and military voters feel the full consequences of Trump's policies. That's what will get them to sober up and rejoin the rest of the country.

📡🇷🇴 Romania approves a law allowing the downing of Russian drones & missiles. The bill expands airspace control, permitting the interception of unauthorized drones & missiles—even in peacetime. NATO forces may also assist under collective defense treaties. www.digi24.ro/stiri/actual...

No government should subsidize religious education under any circumstances. "Free exercise" doesn't mean subsidized facilitation. There's no public interest in education beyond the intellectual and civic, with the only exception being training in recognized trades. www.jta.org/2025/02/19/u...

Giving up everything to satisfy the sociopathic moron in charge is the only kind of handling right-wingers accept.

It's ridiculous for Buttigieg to talk about principles and values when he supports colonialism and genocide in Gaza. He can't even bring himself to uphold laws more concrete than values and principles by halting the arming of Israel. www.mediaite.com/politics/pet...

The presence of U.S. mercenaries in Gaza highlights a disturbing pattern of American involvement in the region’s violence. www.commondreams.org/opinion/gaza...

🇱🇹 Lithuanian President Nausėda outlined a plan to boost aid to Ukraine: NATO membership must remain Ukraine’s security guarantee, Russia must face justice for war crimes, €10B in urgent arms funding, seizure of frozen Russian assets, and fast-tracking Ukraine’s EU accession by 2030.

Notice how no one else is talking about Ukraine's right to exist? Remember that when Zionists invoke this fictional right for Israel.

For people wondering when the right began falling in love with Putin: It was after the passage of the first anti-gay law in Russia in 2013. That was the moment GOP elected officials and rightwing Christian grifters started showing up on Fox to heap praise Putin. www.theguardian.com/world/2013/j...

Despite decades' long relentless efforts by Dems to protect veterans' benefits against relentless attacks by Reps, those in or formerly in the armed forces overwhelmingly support Reps. So, they must want the cuts to their services, and democracy demands the rest of us give them. Cut those & save SS.

Current American foreign policy is about draining power from the US and its allies, thereby creating atmospherics in which Donald Trump feels good and Elon Musk converts lost state capacity into personal profit. The weakness, in other words, is the point. snyder.substack.com/p/affirmativ...

"Putin cannot be trusted, he is a war criminal. He should be in prison for life, or even executed," says U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker.
