Summer Lee is criminally underrated, and it's frankly odd that left electeds like Summer and Rashida aren't talked about the way AOC is.
Kate Willett@katewillett
We aren’t talking about Summer Lee for President. That’s too bad, bc she’s amazing. The entire reason an AOC for President discussion is on the table is bc she’s mega famous. If AOC’s reach doesn’t matter then we should simply support whoever has the best votes- not AOC.

God bless her, but she might as well be talking to a brick wall.

UN special rapporteur Francesca Albenese @FranceskAlbs speaks to pro-Israeli🇮🇱 protesters following a public event in cologne. What a strong woman. Heard that they insulted her many times before and after, but she stayed calm and respectful. Respect her for staying so composed and reasonable, even when others were completely out of touch with reality.

Corey Bpoker is asked if he supports Trump's diplomatic efforts to end the war on Iran, and he says no.
There is one party, folks. And neither of them cares if your kids die in an unprovoked war in the Middle East or if gas goes up to $8 a gallon.
Ryan Grim@ryangrim
Cory Booker was asked if he’d support Trump’s diplomatic efforts to end the war and weirdly says no, because he doesn’t support anything this administration does. Ok Trump sucks but can we end the war? This is crazy talk

AOC voted to essentially make Palestinian activism illegal
Meanwhile white boys from DSA keep gaslighting Palestinians and the movement about her
AOC is a Zionist and if you support her you are a Zionist to

Benjamin Netanyahu has been prime minister off and on for more than 17 years -- more than 20% of Israel's entire existence as a country and by far the longest serving prime minister in Israel's history. When he goes, there's every likelihood (given polling among young Israelis) that he'll be replaced by someone to the right of him, a Kahanist of some sort. That is what Israel is and any pretence otherwise is delusional.

I love Israel, and I love Israelis, but the morons in Netanyahu's government sure don't make it fucking easy.

@AOC I didn’t give the mass shooter guns and ammunition, I just bought him a bulletproof vest so nobody could stop the massacre.

New Yorker today reported that thirty-nine per cent of US Jews believed that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza.
Rephrasing that for you: after 2.5 years of live streamed genocide, 61% of (using the New Yorker language here) "US Jews" deny that Israel is committing a genocide.

The German police have no issue with this abomination of a placard. But they don't hesitate to arrest and beat up anyone who campaigns for equal political rights from the river to the sea!

Cancel your subscription to the @nytimes and support independent journalists like @dimitrilascaris.

Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) has written a critique on the NY Times’ coverage of the Iran war. As FAIR notes, the Times has multiple correspondents on the ground in Israel, but none in Iran. The Times claims that the press conditions in Iran are too restrictive, but like the CNN correspondent who is quoted in the FAIR article, I’ve been able to report on everything I wanted to cover during my time in Iran. Moreover, the NY Times has people on the ground in Israel despite the severe censorship Israel imposes in times of war. Even worse, Israel has murdered hundreds of journalists whose coverage it did not like. There’s no worse form of censorship than murdering journalists, but the NY Times correspondents have nothing to fear in that regard because their reporting is fanatically pro-Israel. fair.org/home/nyt-cover…

This photo was taken on April 22, 2024. At the height of the genocide he unconditionally armed. Six of his own staffers had already resigned due to his Gaza policy at this point

Approval of Israel is at 13% among Democrats. Even Matt Yglesias has come out against aid to Israel because it’s so extremely unpopular.
Publicly opinion would absolutely tolerate AOC saying no more aid.
She’s lagging behind arch centrists.

It’s also misguided to view punishment as the primary method of moving people that are under that intense pressure. If you accept in good faith that they are doing everything they can as individuals under the conditions they operate under, then our job is to change the conditions

It's like when the MySpace algorithm turned everyone against the perfectly good war in Iraq.

I'm concerned we are falling into a trap with exaggerated, social media driven hysteria over the Iran conflict.

No Kings is a Democratic Party psyop.
We need no empire, no genocide, no oligarchy, and no warmongering duopoly.
Ajamu Baraka@ajamubaraka
These rallies are not opposition but instead affirm the legitimacy of a system that has never been legitimate for millions of us in the U.S. and around the world. Not centering U.S. warmongering & bipartisan support for genocide reveals the phony nature of these social outings.
