🚨🇮🇷 IRAN killed 0 ISRAELIS.
🚨🇮🇱 ISRAEL killed 30,000 PALESTINIANS.

Why is the ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD CONDEMNING IRAN, instead of ISRAEL?

the un security council is so funny, every nation is talking about how much iran is destabilizing the region as though israel didn't strike the iranian embassy compound 2 weeks prior. israel is always happens to be defending itself.

This is just ridiculous and frankly, lazy.

Biden is doing a perfectly fine job of losing to Trump on his own.

And either way, the 'spoiler' argument is profoundly anti-democratic. Nobody owns your vote, and voters deserve more than two decrepit genocidal choices.

Yes, the arms that the West sold to Israel were used by Israel to launch an attack on an Iranian consulate in Syria which prompted a retaliatory attack from Iran on Israel which has brought the entire region to the precipice of all-out war.

So, yeah, stop selling arms to Israel.

Devastating exposé of a historic war crime, the contours of which we haven’t yet fathomed

1. Nearly 100 million eligible voters sat out the last two elections. There are more than enough voters to upend this awful system.

2. If you're so worried about the Supreme Court, explain why Dems haven't tried to expand it.

Biden just approved the Sea Port Oil Terminal, the equivalent of ~90 coal-burning plants of global heating pollution.

Biden has betrayed every voter who believed his climate promises.

To preserve a livable world for our children, we need to dump both planet-killing parties NOW.

This is unreal: Biden is twisting arms in Congress RIGHT NOW to try and bully them into legalizing the UNCONSTITUTIONAL search of Americans' internet activity ( #FISA 702) without a warrant! Call your rep and tell them to GET A WARRANT!

The occupation of the Palestinians is one of the great moral crimes of my lifetime. Keeping those people as your prisoners for 75 years is morally reprehensible and completely indefensible. The United Nations should immediately declare Palestine a state.

It is not widely known that every morning, intelligence agencies brief Joe Biden with detailed satellite pictures of the Israeli destruction of Gaza, down to bodies of children in the streets. Day after day, Biden sees what few others see, yet still knuckles under to Netanyahu.…

Instead of a human model, we've applied a business model, often intertwined with gross nationalism, to all our technological inventions. This model is not sustainable for human life.

4. It is good that Biden finally exercised his obvious leverage.
5. It is unforgivable that it took this long for him to do so.
6. Looking forward, a full spectrum humanitarian effort remains necessary to slow and reverse the momentum of famine. That requires a ceasefire. 2/2

6 observations:
1. Israel opening Erez and Ashdod for humanitarian aid into Gaza is unequivocally good news.
2. The decision to do this contradicts Israel's repeated claims that there have been no restrictions on aid.
3. Their closure until now was one part of a war crime. 1/2

“As serious scholarship has shown, the right-wing rage we need to worry about is not coming from deep-red rural areas,” Tyler Austin Harper writes. “It is coming from cities and suburbs.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I wrote about the book White Rural Rage and the scapegoating of rural people.

I talked to over 20 experts in the field of rural studies and found a pattern of errors, distortions, and misleading uses of scholarship in Schaller and Waldman’s book. It’s egregious.

Buckle up. 🧵
