Rob Lavender Woke Up Cranky #TaxTheRich #NHS

Idk what’s going on in New Zealand but she ate this. Tearing the paper, the room erupting in Haka. Non-Māori shitting themselves. Iconic 🙂‍↕️

if right after picking Tim Walz as her VP Kamala had explicitly vowed to end the ongoing Gaza genocide by saying she would withhold all arms and funding supplies and diplomatic cover if it did not stop, and then also unveiled an economic package of free college, medicare for all, and a 15 or higher minimum wage, she would have easily won the election. That's just a fact, as all of this would have energized the Dem base and also poll very well among independents and even some Republicans. Instead she ran on being the new version of Liz and Dick Cheney, vowing to endlessly continue the ongoing mass killing and rape of Palestinians and regurgitating genocidal atrocity propaganda hoaxes constantly, saying Iran is the greatest threat to the US and must be destroyed, having Mark Cuban as her main economic guru vowing to deregulate and cut taxes and "be good to Wall Street", and saying actually the Genocide Joe economy is wonderful and great and if you disagree you're too stupid to be able to properly read charts per Ezra Klein, Matthew Yglesias, Will Stancil and David Shor. She ran a campaign by and for neo-con neoliberals, David Frum, Jeffrey Goldberg, Yglesias, Shor, and ate shit for it. She was humiliated so badly by a candidate, Trump, who said the most insane deranged shit constantly about Haitians eating dogs and cats, about how she's not really black, not having a plan for doing anything at all. And you know why she and Democratic leadership did that? Because they didn't care if they lost. Losing is nothing to them. They keep their donor money. The Dem political PR strategist media class keeps its jobs. In fact, they get even more money because they'll switch to being epic based "resistance heroes" again and fleece their base of even more cash. Kamala Harris and Democratic leadership intentionally threw the election instead of actually running a campaign that could win, because Israel is Uber Alles for them, Zionism sacrosanct, as are their other corporate overlords. That's what happend in the 2024 election.

The Lemkin Institute has had it with the cynical lies and propaganda from Israel and the USA. One can have different views about the definition of genocide, but one may not use definitional disputes to deny genocide. If a genocide may be occurring, every nation is compelled by customary law to try to stop it. Let us be clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The US is complicit in genocide. These are not political statements. They are statements that are made from knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, you do not need a PhD , a law degree, or X-ray vision to see the genocidal dimensions of Israel’s carnage in Gaza. It is clear in the behavior of the state and its military, on full display in yesterday’s horrific bombardment of a Rafah camp. But even if there were legitimate doubts about Israel’s genocide, there is no doubt that Israel is committing atrocity crimes of the most barbaric kind. Israel must be stopped. Israel must be stopped now. We are disgusted by Western leaders, especially in the USA, Germany, and the UK. They have demonstrated not only that they don’t care one bit about genocide prevention and human rights, but also that they are willing to allow an ally to commit atrocity crimes while they offer material and diplomatic support. It is reprehensible and the individuals involved in this gaslighting campaign should be deeply ashamed. They should also be put on trial. Humanity has a choice: Either we decide that our children can all be killed whenever a superior force alleges that “terrorists” are among us, or we decide that under no circumstances will we allow these superior forces to lay waste to our world any longer. We each must choose and act accordingly. The watershed moment is now.

CNN published a piece today about Israeli soldiers returning from Gaza. One bulldozer driver testifies that they drove over Palestinians, dead and alive, "in the hundreds". This is genocidal and just breathtakingly evil.
