The ceasefire deal should have bipartisan support. World leaders must continue to pressure Hamas to see this through.

Because it was never about Gaza, Palestine, or the Palestinians.

It was about tanking Kamala.

It was about mediocre progressives needing extra credit for school.

It was about giving Biden/Harris the Carter treatment.

Maybe their point was made too well. The hate they unleashed against AIPAC and confusion they intentionally created btw PACs and foreign lobbyists is extremism defined.

Gazans beliefs are NOT aligned w/sane Black people

Nor our continued struggle for civil rights

Pro Pali Peeps want to murder Jews & will reveal long held anti Black sentiment to anyone who pushes back on their antisemitic views

I condemn all pro Hamas rhetoric & the people who support them

Putin's apology to Pr. Aliyev,his acknowledgment that the Azerbaijani passenger plane was downed by a Russian missile (or,as he put it,its "fragments"),&his promise to punish those responsible (all said live)are a vivid demonstration of how the balance of power in the post-Soviet space has shifted⤵️

Anton Gerashchenko @antongerashchenko.bsky.social · 1d

❗️Putin admitted that the AZAL plane was shot down by Russian air defense, apologized to the families of the victims and promised compensation.

He added that Russia-Azerbaijan relations need to grow.

Previously, Russia refused to take responsibility for the catastrophe.

As per @joelmrubin.bsky.social, the Gaza ceasefire for hostage deal is not just a pause in the fighting - it’s a strategic win for Israel, the Palestinian people, and American diplomacy.

The goal of stopping the killing is reached, and the “pro Palestinian” movement is silent.
No relief, no celebration, just silence. As Haviv Rettig Gur said, “It’s no longer possible to pretend the pro Palestinian campaign’s interests overlap with the interests of a better future for Gaza.” 🧵

Imagine being threatened by a rainbow….

Did you know that rainbows are regarded as a universal symbol of peace, harmony, hope and promise among other things?
They also have cultural and spiritual significance to some as well.

Regarding the alleged arrest of “the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa.”

1) it’s not illegal to date someone.

2) antifa is a leaderless and loosely organized ideology, not a group

3) if antifa did have a founder, I’m pretty sure it would be a 150 year old Italian person.

I hope everyone praises @schumer.senate.gov because positive reinforcement matters.

And this is fucking good.

Democrats say: NO FUCKING WAY.

Please repost this video. Add commentary. Make sure folks see it.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Write your representatives!

Doesn't matter if they're Democrat or Republican. Let them know that what you're thinking.

Get the Democrats motivated to hold the Republicans accountable. Get the Republicans to feel the pressure. Don't stop contacting them.

People believe it because they're predisposed to suspect Israel (aka Jews) of doing wrong, and they see the onslaught of accusations and AI generated and Pallywood images. The failure of people generally and journalists specifically to question announcements (press releases) contributes.
