The teens in questions not only beat up these Marines, they have now compiled a compelling dossier of video evidence and testimonials suggesting these guys were going around groping young girls and got what they deserved
Her grounded teen daughter making a single TikTok and being immediately acclaimed as a filmmaking genius across the web has gotta feel like a worst-case scenario for Sofia Coppola.
Amongst these Palestinians we recognise journalist Diaa Al Kahlout. He could not move down south because he has an elderly mother and a child with disability. Of course Israel will tell you they are all terrorists
There's "America is losing credibility at home and abroad" and then there's "the political theory of Osama Bin Laden is resonating with a diverse swath of America's youth"
Don't mean to exaggerate or be too harsh or whatever but if you think sleeping in a park is a crime against society that needs to be met with force, you are a nazi
Van Jones at the March for Israel: “I’m a peace guy, I pray for peace. No more rockets from Gaza, and no more bombs falling down on the people of Gaza.”
The crowd breaks out into a “NO CEASEFIRE” chant shortly after
Breaking: Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg is interrupting President Biden demanding a CEASEFIRE NOW. She is speaking on behalf of thousands of American Jews who say Not In Our Name! We refuse to allow a genocide be carried out in our names.
Ceasefire Now to save lives!
Not to be too "grew up under George W. Bush" but using the term "Terrorism" politically as a rhetorical tool to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable forms of organized violence marks someone as unserious and generally beneath consideration.
We laid out 11,000 candles to mark 11,000 lives lost in Gaza.
Democratic Party leaders want the bombs to keep dropping, ignoring 80% of their voters who want a ceasefire.
They wouldn't even let us sing about it. They had us thrown down the stairs.
"Why does the left care so much about Palestine?" Because it's been a keystone struggle in the world decolonization movement for multiple generations. Pretty simple answer.
There were 30 cops, literally, in my subway station last night. Just standing there in a vast crowd, getting paid overtime. This is why libraries are closing on weekends and public schools are falling apart
This clip is so funny because I believe she's quoting her mom, the rad intellectual Shyamala Gopalan, who was probs referencing the Marxist line about man making history under circumstances not of his choosing.
“Were there no Israel, there wouldn’t be a Jew in the world that is safe,” Biden says at the White House Hanukkah party as he reaffirms support for Israel against its war against Hamas.
@americanwombat
Warren going totally blank, totally cruel and unsympathetic in what should have been a moment of humanity will really stick with me. Bleak indeed
Line of riot police shutting down Dolores Hillbomb this year. Officers are walking with riot gear down Dolores Blvd., confronted by some skateboarders.
To be clear: Some people think Yemen is cynically using Gaza to play power politics in the region, whereas the United States is acting on a deep commitment to the principle of anti-piracy?
Telling people who have to walk through armed checkpoints that their ancestral "Freedom from here to there" slogan makes you feel bad is a little silly, isn't it?
The person behind this semi-viral Great Replacement Theory tweet recently moved to Texas for a job at Pale Horse Strategies, a consulting firm that works with far-right groups/candidates funded by West Texas oil tycoons Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks.
Didn't it used to be that assuming American Jews were loyal to Israel was... antisemitic? Like that was a standard form of antisemitism? Dual loyalty? That was a thing, right?
Solidarity with Columbia students and Google workers who recognize the involvement of their institutions in the ongoing genocide of Gaza and are throwing themselves on the gears
On what basis are people including "Jewish" here? He's Israeli, the restaurants are branded as Israeli, he's used them to fundraise for Israel, it's about Israel. Where does Jewish come in?
Tonight in Philly, we saw a blatant act of antisemitism — not a peaceful protest.
A restaurant was targeted and mobbed because its owner is Jewish and Israeli. This hate and bigotry is reminiscent of a dark time in history.
When it comes to Israel I think a lot of liberals can't deal — emotionally or intellectually — with the fact that they've been identifying with the bad guys. They know it on some level at this point, they're not that ignorant, but they haven't internalized the implications.
BREAKING:
⚡ 🇺🇸🇾🇪 The two Navy SEALs that are missing in the Gulf of Aden were allegedly attempting to board a ship carrying weapons from Iran to Yemen.
Most likely the operation was exposed and the two Navy Seals were eliminated by the Iranian-Yemeni guards.

One of the likable things about Emily in Paris is that it's not trauma-driven on any level, to the degree that the main character seems never to have had parents.
Very weird discourse from liberals this week that's been like "Sure you'll oppose the crimes of your own extremely powerful government, but the real moral test is whether you'll condemn the actions of the most marginalized people on earth when they have no other option 👀"
In the context of the national discourse, Stanford unequivocally condemns calls for the genocide of Jews or any peoples. That statement would clearly violate Stanford’s Fundamental Standard, the code of conduct for all students at the university.
Treating the Hamas attack as an attack on Jews rather than an attack on Israel is fundamentally dishonest, precisely akin to misrepresenting Israel as the state for Jews or anti-Zionism as antisemitism.
If you have complained about pro-Palestine statements that neglect to mention Israeli suffering, why support posters that neglect to mention Palestinian suffering? Why is one kind of partisanship a monstrous celebration of violence while the other is a mourning of innocence?
There is nothing inherently antisemitic about antizionism. You can crank the antizionism dial to 11 and love Jews. Many Jews do it every day. Anyone saying otherwise is a liar who's trying to trick you based on your unfamiliarity on browbeat you.
The "masks forever?!?" thing is so symptomatic of the denial people are in about what is actually happening to our environment (and that we are also parts of our environment)
Over the past week, there has been a major shift in the debate over school conditions as students around the country have stepped up and organized to protect their communities. I want to highlight their efforts here in a thread...
Is it me or is the "We need to vanquish Hamas" stuff kinda Disney-brained? Like every actual analyst says that is obviously impossible for many reasons and yet many people are out there like "The multiverse will never be safe as long as Hamas wields the mega cube"
Uber is lobbying for Prop 22-style legislation to be implemented in Europe so that it can avoid having to classify its drivers as employees and thus continue to exploit them for their labor.
We as a society seem to have assimilated the fact that the Satanic Panic organized sex abuse stuff was not real but have not really come to grips with the fact that that shit really was happening, and on a much larger scale, in churches.
The bans on sleeping in parks are all recent, the state has people thinking it's always been illegal to sleep outside. That is absurd, you are being played. It is outside. The sleep police are new, do not be fooled.
I wish we had an account on here that gave us live updates on the COVID precautions that rich and powerful people are taking at their meetings and stuff
"I hope that my 13-year-old son grows up to be just as amazing as they are."
Rahul Dubey opened his home to nearly 70 strangers overnight and sheltered them during D.C.'s curfew. He says our country needs people like THEM.
FULL INTERVIEW:
For our own part, as members of the faculty of the department of sociology, we will continue to keep our courses open to these students, we will grade their exams and papers, and we will give them final grades in our courses so they may receive credit. (12/16)
Veterans developing a meme where they compare their joy at Bin Laden's death with their sadness now that they realize he was right all along. Whoever's job it is to watch for stuff like that must be working overtime.
As a secular Jew I find the accusation that we believe in "nothing" to be incredibly offensive. We believe in the immortal science of dialectical materialism.
People arguing against the "Everyone for Everyone" prisoner swap because "some of the Palestinian prisoners are real militants." Some of the Israeli hostages are real IDF *soldiers*!
Genocidaire Benjamin Netanyahu is privately concerned about the "huge demonstrations in western capitals".
"We need to apply counter-pressure," he said.
Keep getting out on the streets. It's having an impact.
#GazaGenocide
Very bizarre situation where the solutions demanded for Covid—like ventilation and sick leave and stuff—are so simple and modest and reasonable that I think most people can't believe it and just imagine it's something outlandish instead.
“But what concerns us is what we’re seeing in the clinic every day: More young people, otherwise healthy with no genetic syndrome, being diagnosed with very advanced stages of gastrointestinal cancers.”
Holding copies of a mock newspaper — The New York War Crimes — protesters chant “From the river to the sea, no IDF, no NYT” and “NYT, blood on your hands!” as attendees leave the gala
Scapegoating Netanyahu is a way to try and shield Israeli society and the Israeli project in general from culpability for genocide, not to mention the American government and American society. Transparent and despicable.
Why is the commentary line about activists' feelings and not the objective effects the completion of such a project would have on the world's carbon budget?
When Shell invited me to come to London and advise the company's global warming response, I asked if there was an NDA. When they said no, I called my editor.
You are literally a colonizer sitting on colonized land in North America, yelling at the fucking sky to decolonize a sliver of land in the Middle East that was decolonized in 1948 when its original indigenous population declared their independence.
Your “decolonization movement”
Also: Don't let your enemies demonize your voters. They say underwater basket weaving you say, "This is Suzanne, she's a social worker and we're glad she chose to go to college."
I always forget how many people think that America's "enemies" are fundamentally irrational. They hate us for our freedom type stuff. I don't know how to describe it, it's something less than thinking.
