this appears to be the go-to spin for every major escalation by Israel: it’s actually a gesture of peace. The NYT’s Patrick Kingsley let Israeli warmongers shop this line a few days ago without an ounce of pushback. columnblog.com/p/western-medi…

Dana Nessel has provided zero evidence for her incendiary claim against Rashida Tlaib amid a disgusting, racist political cartoon targeting the Congresswoman by a staffer at Detroit News.

All govvt propaganda about how Israel weathers conditions of war time is an image of scantily clad people raving or partying at a beach. It's clear population is not accustomed to the kinds of war conditions regularly imposed on enemies and won't tolerate it if there are options

Coming over increasingly to the idea that Netanyahu is simply an employee of the US setting the predicate for the next multi-generational US military involvement in the Middle East

These shameful lines were written by Adam Rasgon who smeared Al Jazeera and Wael Dahdouh in the The New Yorker days after Wael’s family was killed by Israel. He is a journalist who smears Palestinian journalists, helps Israel justify killing them and puts a target on their backs.

Increasing evidence that the local labor ecosystem [with of course the exception of the OPOA] is following an "anyone but Leronne Armstrong" policy in the at-large race.

This meeting is happening now. I get to say "I told you so" about the school board recall. All these people who claimed they wanted to focus on governance and not "distractions" and care about racial equity in schools got their way and their people completely fucked this up.

The Mayor appointed a bunch of members of the BOE. Whatever is the result of today, responsibility for the threat of state takeover and the push to close schools even though it's not necessary financially lies with the School Board, the Mayor, and the recallers.

The Chron might have had a thinkpiece about the specious logic behind local recallers given this outcome...but its reporters would have to reveal the Chron's complicity in stoking the energy for it.
