Though nice to see Jon Finer and Philip Gordon catch up to bare minimum of where activists and the public have been for nearly two years on restricting US arms to the Israeli government, their article erases their own role in abetting the Netanyahu government’s genocide

These men held some of the highest positions in national security under Biden. When members of Congress began to question Biden’s obsession with giving PM Netanyahu any bomb, shell, or UN veto he asked for, their team was on the phone whipping against Congressional oversight

U.S. law is clear: it is illegal to ship arms to a government that restricts U.S. humanitarian aid deliveries. Instead of enforcing that law, they worked to obfuscate facts at the cost of thousands of lives in Gaza while undermining the rule of law at home.

Their colleagues persistently accused ceasefire activists of aiding Hamas and, when they were told repeatedly by activists that such messaging was both wrong and dangerous, the wild accusations only continued.

So it’s hardly surprising that in their sudden embrace of common sense, they take no accountability for their actions. The situation in Gaza – and for activists at home – has worsened under Trump, but Team Biden paved the way.

As Jon and Phil say, Democrats should clarify where they stand. Among other things, they should clarify that former senior officials who authored the Biden admin’s failure on Gaza and failed to uphold U.S. laws should have no place in future Democratic admins.

If former Biden officials believe that their past positions give them enough power to skirt accountability, they are mistaken. The national security space has changed and is changing.

We will not forget their failure to uphold U.S. laws, we will not forget the ways they let discriminatory discourse fester, and we will not forget the thousands of people that died because of their cowardice.

I think we should stop framing the online right as addressing the problem of male loneliness and start thinking of it as helping to create it.

STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST!

Have you ever seen a MSNBC host speak like this? With this viciousness, this open desire for vengeance and ‘payback’? There’s just no equivalent to the propaganda and open partisanship of Fox, to its authoritarian and power craziness. There are no ‘both sides’ here.

The below tweet constitutes the entirety of the response by PBS News to my raising serious factual and ethical issues with their sycophantic reporting. Take a look at each point in my thread that he ignores. Hopefully will be a good moment for public debate.

Can’t wait to hear why the private jet kid thinks the minimum wage should remain as is.

Accountability is essential to democracy. That means we hold *ourselves* accountable as well. The Biden administration and many within it not only aided and abetted a genocide but also undermined the first amendment and civil rights here in the states.

Here’s you calling Merrick Garland a fascist. Do you want to go hand yourself into your local police station as you yourself now say it is criminal and and an act of domestic terrorism to call someone a fascist?

Transportation Minister Miri Regev declared "there is no chaos" about Israel's railroad shutdown, then flew to the U.S. for a two-week taxpayer-funded trip that included luxury hotels and extended weekends in New York and Los Angeles haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

As a Jew I find this letter disgusting. Stop supporting genocide.

Here is openly racist rightwinger Will Chamberlain calling for the deportation of an American-born American citizen because he doesn’t like his views (or his ethnicity). If this isn’t racism and fascism, not sure what is.
