A quiet moment on U Street in Washington DC as Q and Jay do battle.

"Venezuela did not attack the United States. There was no imminent armed threat. The Security Council did not authorize the operation ...

... Under international law, that makes the attack unlawful."

My latest for @TheIntercept.com:

Oracle's billionaire pro-Trump board members Larry Ellison and Safra Catz now have the power to impose their anti-Palestinian agenda over the content that TikTok users see.

Users need to revolt.

@Wikipedia.org cofounders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger have tried to weaken the "Gaza genocide" entry on the website.

8/ These are some of the reasons why the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism that Rep. Fine uses is so widely rejected.

The fact that such a clear advocate for genocide of Palestinians could lift up this broken IHRA definition of antisemitism demonstrates how broken that definition is.

7/ Israel's preferential treatment of Jewish immigrants and citizens occurs through an apartheid system that oppresses Palestinians.

It is legitimate to question this apartheid system and call for a system of equal rights instead.

Rep Fine's bill defines that as "antisemitism."
November 25, 2025 at 6:27 PM
6/ Given the clear documentation of Israel's genocide of Palestinians, it is reasonable to compare and contrast Israel's genocide to the genocides committed by other governments, including Nazi Germany.

Rep Fine's bill would block this.

5/ There is vast documentation of Israeli soldiers committing heinous atrocities across Gaza.

These genocidal atrocities include killing civilians, torturing civilians, starving people to death, and raping Palestinians.

4/ Under Rep Fine's so-called "no anti-Semitism" bill, if you call for an investigation specifically of Israel, you are an "anti-Semite."

Human rights investigations focus on individual countries all of the time.

Why should Israel be protected from investigation?

3/ Here's Rep Fine's bill:

www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

(Side note: Do other members of Congress really dislike Randy Fine? Even in an extremely pro-Israel Congress, he had zero cosponsors when he introduced this.)
November 25, 2025 at 6:22 PM
A congressman who supports genocide claims to oppose anti-Semitism.

US Rep Randy Fine's new bill uses the broken definition of antisemitism put forward by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).

The only way I can understand the ridiculous criticism of Zohran Mamdani for calling his mom's cousin his aunt is if this is a secret plot to say something so idiotic that it mobilizes the vote in SUPPORT of Zohran.
October 29, 2025 at 12:10 PM
"In a Quinnipiac University poll conducted in early October, 41% of likely voters in New York City said Mamdani’s views on Israel aligned closest with their own, compared to 26% for Cuomo."

For one hour a day, while on break from work, he walks the streets around the US Capitol with a simple sign.

He's asking what you think he's asking.

Who are we as Americans?
Who are we as a society?
What is happening to us?

He says that he has only had good conversations.

Should Trump rule over Gaza?

Obviously not. But that's what his plan proposes.
