Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

It's good to pressure Zohran (& all electeds), the question is over what & how
Is our main approach to speak truth to power? Or to organize around strategic mass-based fights?
Lots to learn from Jane McAlevey on this 🧵

Van Hollen was already one of the leading critics of the Israeli state in the Senate but you can really tell Mamdani's victory has emboldened him, among others.
Fascinating flash-point here, liberal stalwart Senator Chris Van Hollen's office is explicitly attacking the CEO of the "Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington" for being "an apologist for the Netanyahu government".

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but Noah Smith now apparently thinks South Asians (like the Ugandan-Indian Zohran Mamdani) are using anti-Zionism as an inter-diaspora social bludgeon in order to move up the American cultural strata.

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.
But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

I mean, hardly the first time, but I’ll take it if we’re gonna start enforcing these things.
How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.
