Regarding #AOC on #Harris:
“Rep. Omar: it’s been unconscionable ‘to witness my colleagues in this administration refusing to recognize the genocidal war that is taking place in #Gaza … working tirelessly for a #ceasefire is really not a thing and they should be ashamed of themselves’”

The “moderators” at #mastodon social took down 2 of my posts. One was a quote about intifada in response to #US #police receiving urban combat training in #Israel. The second was a post deploring Zionists who steal Palestinian cultural sites and build their places of worship. Masto “moderators” claim that both “incite violence or promote violent ideologies.” I’ve seen far worse posts justifying #genocide and #war from anti-Palestinian toots.
There are ways that Masto sucks more than Twitter.

I know that someone is very unserious about #climatechange when they accuse me of being a #climate #science denier for no other reason than I won’t vote for #Biden a second time.

This seems like kind of a big deal.

It’s almost like #Biden doesn’t care if he loses. Almost as if he’s as authentically tilted to fascist xenophobia as #Trump is. Maybe he’s not just trying to attract conservative voters. Maybe he’s showing exactly who he is.

“‘Since the war in #Gaza started, 508 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, including 124 children. More than 5,000 have been injured, including about 800 children.
WHO has documented 480 attacks on health care in the #WestBank since the 7th of October last year, resulting in 16 deaths and 95 injuries.’ — Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus”

The thing is, Reagan made a phone call and Israel stopped in 1982. #Biden doesn’t have the guts or the scruples to make #Israel stop the #genocide. I deplore Reagan. So, imagine how much more I detest #GenocideJoe. He is leaving us with a moral stain that will revisit us nastily in the future. The chickens will come home to roost.

Every single foreign aid worker is now a hard target in war. This will translate to less humanitarian aid, more pandemics, more famine, more #genocide, because who will want to deliver foreign aid relief anywhere?

The #police even said, “You don’t pull a knife on people.” But I guess because she’s white and Zionist threatening-with-a-knife is not really assault on a nonviolent protester in the eyes of the cops.

I’m 61yo, vote in every election. Never voted #GOP. Have voted mostly for #Democrats, and even worked in Dem campaigns.
All I got in return is rising fascism, aided by triangulating Dems. It’s radicals who change the country, not incrementalists or centrists or reformers pounding an election every 4 years.

#Obama should have codified #Roe as promised. #Biden should have codified Roe as promised. Campaigning on the Court is a ploy to GOTV and to raise more campaign cash:
“We really need a book titled ‘Those Who Knew Roe Was Never Enough and the the SC would overturn Roe.’ There are thousands such people.”

“‘The #ICJ ruling is not in the abstract, nor is it in need of detailed interpretation. This is the highest court in the world, and they’ve said any action in #Rafah that could bring about the destruction of Palestinians needs to immediately stop. So you either support international #law or you don’t.’”

“White nationalists and neo-Nazis joined forces with Zionists (including some saying they were Israelis) to attack #UCLA’s #Palestine Solidarity Encampment, whose residents included a large number of Jewish students. The assailants were not affiliated with the university. One neo-Nazi was heard shouting, ‘we’re here to finish what Hitler started,’ without any apparent protest from the self-identified Zionists.”

Even when groups conform, there is still yet unacknowledged power in the impractical bucking of even one dissenter. Don’t tell me this doesn’t matter. All change begins in the slightest act. Let it be with her, even if no one else.

“Interviews with current and former … [USAID] and State Department officials, aid agencies … in #Gaza … reveal that the administration rejected or ignored pleas to use its leverage to persuade its ally #Israel … to allow sufficient humanitarian aid into Gaza …. the US also provided diplomatic cover for Israel to create the conditions for famine by blocking international efforts to bring about a #ceasefire … making the delivery of aid almost impossible”

“#Israel has closed or rendered inaccessible both major border crossings in southern #Gaza. No supplies have entered through the #Rafah crossing since Israeli forces took it over last week. The Rafah crossing was the primary entry point for humanitarian aid …. #UNRWA officials say that it is impossible to combat the famine while there is no #water, sanitation or #health care services across Gaza.”

“In the dark of night, dozens of men wearing black or blue sweatshirts with full-face white plastic masks, some with Israeli flags draped on their shoulders, converged on the #UCLA encampment that #students had assembled in peaceful solidarity with the beleaguered Palestinians of #Gaza.
Armed … [and] chanting anti-Arab, anti-Black, and anti-Palestinian slogans, the mob set about attacking students and #faculty in the camp.”

#Police fear *aggressive* umbrellas.
“Among their provided explanations: protesters’ refusal to take down tents, four mysterious individuals who UVa said posed a threat to the community joining the encampment, protesters using umbrellas ‘in an aggressive manner’ and Longo himself feeling fearful upon approaching the group.”

On Al Jazeera this morning the reporter at George Washington University described the unwillingness of the DC #police to respond to GW administration requests for arrests of nonviolent #FreePalestine protesters.
The reporter added that the cops and the District may be hesitant due to the tens of millions of dollars they had to pay in damages for their crackdown on Black Lives Matter. They don’t want to risk any more lawsuits. #BLM still having an impact.
