This week in Gaza, Israel’s “precision-guided weapons” have hit and destroyed: * Hospitals * Homes * Media offices * Schools * Electricity and water infrastructure In response, the Biden admin offers even more US money for Israel to to check off its war crimes wish list

Too much foreign policy criticism blames Jewish groups for US support of the apartheid in Palestine, when Christian Zionists are truly responsible. That's its own kind of antisemitism.   So let's talk about Christian Zionism. /1

Christian Zionists do not want peace. They do not care about the safety of Jews or Palestinians. They only care about using Jewish people as pawns for their own warped eschatology.   It's violent and grotesque—a violation of divine love that wants us all to coexist and thrive. /6

Anytime you hear a “rise in crime” or “spike in shootings,” remember: whatever they claim, is happening despite investing most on policing in the history of the world. A brutal indictment of the efficacy of policing. Yet police are using their pathetic failures to demand more?

500 water protectors put in jail for fighting the Line 3 pipeline. Many of them will spend this whole weekend in the box until Tuesday. How much you wanna bet no one will be put into jail for this? President Donald J. Trump

Suppose your child did not want to go fight countless and endless shadow wars across the globe, at this time, but you’re paying taxes to fund all of that. You may not be happy about it!

One core lesson about why "police reform" has been a disaster is that most reforms have given cops more resources "to do better." The ironclad rule is this: when you have a wasteful, corrupt, violent bureaucracy, the first step must always be to reduce its size and power.

Like an earthquake shaking the federal mass incarceration system to its core, Judge Du in Nevada rules the illegal reentry statute unconstitutional because of its racist origins in US v Carrillo Lopez. webshare.law.ucla.edu/CILP/Nevada_or… Kara Hartzler Ingrid Eagly 🛑👮🏼‍♂️🏙️ Sirine Shebaya

The opinion includes detailed analysis of why the 1952 reenactment perpetuated the original racism from the 1929 law. Let's see if the Biden SG's office authorizes an appeal to defend this racist statute or instead uses this to dismantle a key engine of federal mass incarceration

Have you ever wondered why 780 men have been imprisoned in Gitmo, but only 8 have been convicted of a crime? One reason is that the US blanketed Afghanistan with flyers offering lots of money to anyone who brought in a "terrorist". What proof did they need? Just their good word.

In short, the US runs a torture camp in Cuba, in which they imprisoned Afghan child sex slaves, Uighars fighting against China, and a bunch of random Muslim guys... alongside Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who actually masterminded 9/11. They use the latter as an excuse for the former.

Americans should be ashamed by the fact they create refugees. These delusions of grandeur are the placid grins of amnesiac murderers

the entire legal fiction of reasonableness is grounded in white fear of the other. it's why white men can escalate and create dangerous situations and later claim they were afraid.

2021 started with Biden admin saying its priorities were ending MPP/Remain in Mexico & reunite separated families (a task force!) and ends w/ MPP back (expanded!) and the task force only reuniting a few dozen of at least 1,000 + Biden admin pulling out of financial compensation

This is astonishing, yet not surprising. If it feels like you're far less safe in NYC than ever before, it's not bc shootings are up. It's because the media (fueled by lies & fearmongering by NYC Mayor Eric Adams) is up. Look at this chart. Red line is shootings. Grey is media.
