The answer to "is Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal?" is "yes, but he's also a genocider," and this should not be controversial.

No, this is the result of failing Reconstruction (everything before/ after that).

The culmination of 400 years of hatred. Filled to the brim with disinformation, propaganda and bigotry.

This is the result of almost 10 years of Trumpism. The GOP wasn’t like this under McCain or Romney. A sad evolution

Was looking at campsites in RI and the website literally starts with “due to rising temperatures…”

Gunna be real awkward for the climate change deniers to wake up underwater or on fire one day

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

Exactly. Instead of saying she should have acknowledged the genocide and promised to take action, he put the onus on people who didn’t want to take part..

When people are suffering on that level, incremental progress is a death sentence

An extraordinary new policy from the Defense Department that equates basic reporting methods to criminal activity has prompted a revolt among Pentagon journalists that could leave the nation's largest agency and the world's largest military without a press corps.

'Without precedent': Virtually all news outlets reject restrictive Pentagon press policy

The policy would force news organizations to refrain from publishing material not approved by the military. Media lawyers say it violates the 1st Amendment.

I made the mistake of listening to Obama on the last Maron podcast and it was fucking painful

When Marc talked about non voters who were sat out over the genocide, he talked about concessions

About a fucking genocide

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

The destruction of Gaza and the deaths of more than 60,000 people demand accountability, justice, and a properly funded reconstruction plan.

Not Trump salivating over potential new beach front property to exploit.
