A reminder that Netanyahu is still starving Gaza by blocking aid—which is a war crime. Recall that when Yemenis blocked ships to prevent genocide, they were bombed. Now, as Israelis block aid to enable famine, they’re protected. If you don't see the grotesque white supremacy in our foreign policy then you're either not paying attention or you're happily complicit. The world must unite to end this blockade and stop this genocide.

WOW. The Guardian is reporting that Israeli troops fired ‘warning shots’ at 25 diplomats visiting occupied West Bank. The delegation comprised ambassadors and diplomats representing 31 countries, including Italy, Canada, Egypt, Jordan, and the United Kingdom. Israel claims it was an "inconvenience" and they're investigating. Make no mistake, this is deliberate intimidation by a regime committing daily genocide. If this is how they treat diplomats, just imagine how they treat Palestinians.

Fascism is when there are documented cases of the KKK mass murdering at least 5000 Black people and terrorizing millions more, but they're still allowed to exist and hold public marches due to "free speech," but Black and brown people are disappeared, deported, and tortured on the mere accusation that they said things the Government doesn't like.

Before leaving office Joe Biden is set to pardon his son Hunter. He can't stop there. Right now ~2500 people sit on federal death row. When Trump was in office he lifted the moratorium on executions. Biden should commute their executions to life in prison. Do it.

How Joe Biden Can Still Slow MAGA Fascism & Save American Lives

In his final two months in office, Biden can make seismic changes to help tens of millions of Americans — but will he have the courage to act?

Netanyahu’s response to the ICC arrest warrant is to claim antisemitism. But this is without merit. Not only is the ICC charging both Israeli and Hamas leaders for war crimes, among the key advisors to help issue these arrest warrants is 94-year-old attorney, renowned humanitarian, and Nazi death camp survivor, Theodor Meron. Netanyahu is accusing one of the last living Holocaust survivors of antisemitism😐

BREAKING: ICC Issues Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu & Hamas Leaders

Biden stands by Netanyahu, even as his own White House staff openly rebukes him for refusing to uphold US and international human rights law

Watching MAGAs panic at the thought that women might vote opposite their husbands reminds me that after no fault divorce was legalized in 1970, female suicide rates dropped 20% The "strong 1950s family unit" that GOP is nostalgic about ignores record high female suicide, suffocating DV, & 0 female financial autonomy. GOP was always about control of women, and nothing about that has changed today.

WOW this is incredible & terrifying. Israel spent over a decade spying on ICC prosecutors to "retroactively investigate incidents of interest to ICC to prove Israel’s legal system is accountable." Meanwhile Israel has banned all journalists from Gaza and has killed 100+ journalists. This is totally what you do when you're not guilty of war crimes. How much longer will the USA, UN, & the world enable this injustice? https://www.972mag.com/icc-israel-surveillance-investigation/

As you watch Justice Thomas and Alito explicitly endorse racism and gerrymandering, and even go as far as to slam the Brown v Board ruling—a reminder that this corruption is who SCOTUS has always been. Here are the receipts:

What If The Greatest Obstacle to Justice in America Was...The Supreme Court Itself?

Receipts show the current Court's right wing extremist rulings are not aberrations, but manifestations of SCOTUS history—and that must change

Why we must divest from funding the siege on Gaza. My remarks before my city council last week make the argument historically, contemporarily, and looking towards the future—as the right and moral thing to do.

Consider employing my remarks at the Naperville City Council meeting as a template for your city council meeting as well

This is just absurd. Israel is invading Rafah and meanwhile… “Biden administration’s report on whether Israel has violated U.S. and international humanitarian law during the war in Gaza has been delayed indefinitely.” INDEFINITELY😐 https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/07/israel-gaza-state-report-00156619

US House has just passed HR 6090 to expand the definition of antisemitism to include the criticism of Israel. This is a massive chilling of free speech and makes no sense.

So we're just going to ignore that authorities confirm an anti-Palestine agitator yelled "Kill the Jews" to ignite discord & get people arrested? Antisemitism is a real threat to humanity, and extremists like this harm both Jews & Palestinians. Shameful.

BREAKING: A special State Dept panel told Sect Blinken in December to sanction the IDF due to war crimes and rapes—& he’s taken no action.😳 Remember, the US Govt immediately pulled UNRWA funding on the mere allegation of Hamas, and without any evidence, but now 5 months later zero action against IDF despite extensive documentation of rape & murder by IDF as proven by the U.S. State Dept itself!😐

March is Women’s History Month. A reminder that after no fault divorce was finally legalized in 1970, female suicide rates dropped 20%.🤯 The "strong 1950s family unit" GOP is nostalgic about ignores record high female suicide, suffocating domestic violence, & zero female financial autonomy. Or maybe that’s the GOP’s goal.😐

Truly unbelievable that after bombing Afghanistan for 20 years, & bombing Iraq for 20 years, & leaving both nations in even worse condition by killing hundreds of thousands of civilians—people still think that bombing Palestinian civilians is the path to peace.😐 #CeaseFireInGaza

MAGA Logic: -Abortion: Ban it -Marijuana: Ban it -Drag shows: Ban it -Immigration: Ban it -Public Schools: Ban it -Dialogue on racism: Ban it -Books by Black or LGBTQ authors: Ban it -Guns: BANS DON’T WORK YOU SNOWFLAKES #Lewiston

Horrific. I am Beside myself. In Plainfield, IL, a 71 year old man is in custody for stabbing to death an 6-year-old Palestinian child named Wadea Al-Fayoume & nearly killing his mother.😓 The murderer stabbed the child 26 times & yelled "you Muslims must die!"😳 No charges filed yet. Police are investigating. Please be safe my friends. Be diligent and look out for each other. God help us.

The Israeli army has issued an order for the immediate relocation of 1.1M Palestinians from northern Gaza to the south in 24 hours. The UN has categorically condemned this order. Forcing 1.1M people, including 550K kids, to evacuate in 24 hours or be bombed to death is even more cruel considering THERE’S NOWHERE TO EVACUATE TO. We need a ceasefire. The response to war crimes against civilians cannot be more war crimes against more civilians. I’m horrified that this is a controversial take.
