But Ya ARE Blanche

His family survived the Holocaust. He founded Human Rights Watch. He directed the ACLU. Now he’s saying Israel is engaged in genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Excellent CNN interview:

@john_xmr @Gettingcontext Re-read

Kills 15,000 kids, starves a million others. Why aren't you crying for our small number of hostages, you terrible person!?! They really think their lives matter more.

“Israel continues killing women and children in Gaza. We cannot remain silent in the face of these atrocities. We cannot stop being supportive, because tomorrow we will need solidarity.” —President of Brazil, Lula Da Silva twitter.com/HoyPalestina/s…

@RitchieTorres What we invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and upwards of 500,000 people were killed? Would that have been war crime? Oh wait we did do that.

The ICC issuing an arrest warrant against Israel for defending itself against Hamas amid October 7th would have been the equivalent of the ICC issuing an arrest warrant against the US for defending itself against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban amid 9/11. It would have been the equivalent of the ICC issuing an arrest warrant against the US and Britain for defending themselves against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. The ICC prosecutor has set a dangerous precedent that all but criminalizes self-defense.

@RnaudBertrand It’s the old accidental truth telling- happens every once in a blue moon.

This is hilarious. Lindsey Graham says that if the ICC is allowed to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders then "we're next". To this anti-war protesters in the audience applaud. "Yeah, you can clap all you want to" says a disgruntled Graham.

“We’re coming back 10X stronger. No matter how much they brutalize us, it is NOTHING compared to what's happening in Palestine, in Gaza, in Rafah” —GWU Student just released from jail If anyone thinks GWU students are deterred by mass 4am arrests, listen 👇 #HandsOffRafah #FreePalestine

@therecount The absolute gall

Hillary Clinton criticizes pro-Palestinian protests and says many young people she’s spoken to “don't know very much at all about the history of the Middle East or, frankly, about history in many areas of the world.”

@gaialect This article and interview is well worth checking out nytimes.com/2023/02/02/opi…

social media is so weird like i randomly get this violent urge to no longer be perceived and i just need to deactivate everything before i explode. i wonder if there’s a name for that feeling because i know i’m not alone.

@spookyknickers @ask_aubry I wasn’t sure about the part where she seemed to have said something about his neighborhood. If she did make a disparaging remark it might well have been racial but it was unclear.

At first I was like ooo she's really harsh and then...

@ask_aubry The woman sounds like a jerk and a snob. Possibly worse if the redacted part “(my neighborhood)” indicates a part of town where Mexicans live. But that’s hard to tell. Threatening her though is obviously not right.

@PaulRudnickNY Stand back Pensacolaaaaaaa 🎶

Casey DeSantis always looks like she's demonstrating a convertible sofa on a 1960s TV ad

@PaulRudnickNY The capes! What is with all the capes!?

@SalvatoreDiMag2 @NY1 Turnstiles like this are in subway systems all over the world- in other cities like DC too.

@NY1 Making it easier to evade fares, bring your encampment with you. Crawl underneath for easy and free access, you can now bring your E bikes, scooters, motorcycles, cars etc.. MTA is brilliant 😀

The MTA will begin installing new “wide-aisle” turnstiles in the subway system later this year. specne.ws/uskKSm

@kycarrerolopez Tyra Banks is the worst. And the rest of them- trash.

remember when yaya was too smart for this show and they hated her for it

@VreelandZap @cocozzello @His_Majesty13 @HenryLouisGates Are you sure? You’re saying it’s her grandfather who was genetically related to the Mayflower passenger and not anyone else in her family?

@cocozzello @His_Majesty13 @HenryLouisGates 1) it didnt 2) Angela Davis’ grandfather was white, and not a rapist, which is the connection

“Do you know what you’re looking at? That is a list of the passengers on the Mayflower.” Our researchers discovered #AngelaDavis’s ancestors traveled to the US on the Mayflower and here is her reaction. #FindingYourRoots

@cocozzello @His_Majesty13 @HenryLouisGates Or had descendants who did so.

@His_Majesty13 @HenryLouisGates The only thing I really got from that clip is that the Mayflower carried people who owned and raped enslaved people.

@CountryKeys79 @His_Majesty13 @HenryLouisGates Man how dumb do you think people are? No the Mayflower wasn’t a slave ship but it’s likely that some of the *people on it* had descendants who owned slaves. And that’s likely why Ms. Davis, and probably some other black Americans, are genetically related to passengers.

@His_Majesty13 @HenryLouisGates It shows WE ARE NO WHERE near knowing what slavery is. 1 the MAYFLOWER WAS NOT A SLAVE SHIP NOR DID IT BRING ANY SLAVES. Totally different storyline 🤧🤦🏾‍♀️

@CruellaDKill @Steveamonowens @AmirTalai It’s not funny. But your phrasing and the characters it’s about made me burst out laughing.

@Steveamonowens @AmirTalai Gus the fireman? I get that you’re thinking people w age gaps can have friendly relationships and of course, yes, it’s true. But I’m concerned about your fictional and dated frame of reference and it’s total irrelevance to the situation in the post.
