Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer caught on a hot mic talking about the controversial Al data center being built despite overwhelming opposition: "We're used to people saying 'f*ck no!', and then doing it anyway."

Wild that this is 1 min and 43 secs long and absolutely nothing of meaning is said. Just a string of faux-authenticity cliches
.@ChrisMurphyCT and I share a belief that we need a better Democratic Party. We have to break norms and be willing to fight for people. We can’t just hold fast to the institution when the opposition is tearing that institution down. And we absolutely have to deliver.

Applebaum’s “liberal language:”
Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology. China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

The Trump administration is dismantling the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a key monitoring system for tracking the climate crisis. Policy expert David Helvarg calls it "the most advanced system for understanding the deep ocean," which was set to continue operating for at least another 15 years. He says the Trump administration, however, is more focused on oil drilling and deep-sea mining, treating the ocean "as a gas station and a garbage dump."

She flipped really quick from the “warmest, kindest and most caring people” to “I don’t give a F*** what they do in Gaza”.

This isn't hard: Condemn Israel’s genocide without equivocation. Israel’s violent ethnic cleansing of Palestine is wrong. This is simple and any leader should be able to say so. The fact my colleague cannot bring herself to say that is concerning.

Even ignoring the revised charter, if you do the math it comes out to something like 8% of Gaza's current population ever cast a vote for Hamas. So apparently due to the actions of that 8%, no Palestinian can have human rights. Every Ethan Klein defender is a psychotic racist. 🥴

Which is literally 100% true. It’s in their fucking charter.

Dude's an idiot but it is kinda perfect that the employer immediately chose to demonstrate that he's a power-tripping, revenge-obsessed, tyrannical psycho who will contact his friends in the media and a PALANTIR CO-FOUNDER to doxx and destroy the life of any 19 year old who slights him lmao literally any other demographic would 100% just laugh it off and go on with their day. 🥴
Cornell student Austin Franco was doxxed by Jewish business leaders after explaining that he “didn’t want to work for a Jew,” claiming his experiences with Jews were not “pleasant,” after a NYC startup he had applied to reached out to him three times. After one of the cofounders, Gabe Einhorn, posted Franco’s reply with his last name blocked out, Franco was quickly identified. Einhorn said he did not “want to ruin his life,” but wanted to “raise awareness” of antisemitism. Franco, in a now-deleted post, said that in his personal and professional experiences, Jews were tribalistic and vengeful, and tended to ruin and bully others who opposed them. Franco stated, “I am sure that if you indicated you didn’t want to work for someone who was White or Christian this would not have blown up…” Franco claimed that the actions by Einhorn and the Jewish community, posting his reply, doxxing him, and then trying to investigate and uproot his personal life, vindicated his concerns that Jews do not work with others politely.

In case people didn’t know: The former UofM regent (Jordan Acker) who initially pushed for the charges against the student protestors/is openly a zionist was endorsed by Mallory McMorrow
This is insane: • UofM cracks down on and arrests anti-genocide student protesters • Ann Arbor prosecutor Eli Savit declines to prosecute • UofM recruits MI AG and Zionist lunatic Dana Nessel to personally prosecute the case—HIGHLY unusual for such low-level charges • Nessel forced to drop all charges to preempt court finding her unable to fairly prosecute the case due to her bias against Arabs and Muslims as well as her ties to Zionist extremist groups caught attempting to influence the court • Nessel (a Democrat!) turns to Trump DoJ and Kash Patel to bring felony conspiracy charges against the students

Immediately after October 7th Ethan Klein went live to argue that if Palestinians were ever granted full human rights they'd immediately exterminate every Jewish person in sight.
Denims reacts to a clip of Ethan Klein saying "this is all started because I was not down with Hamas" "If you misrepresent the fact that people were actually upset that you spent so much time talking about how great and multicultural and diverse Israel is"

Why is it that Jews can publicly hyperventilate about a mosque being built in Dearborn, but if you said the same exact thing about a synagogue they'd all shit their diapers till they died and we'd get multiple congressional hearings about it?? 🥴

There's a fascist in the White House. For New York to put new restrictions on the right to assemble is a terrible idea. And the illegal sale of Palestinian land should be protested.

Oh, so it's bad to challenge a Dem incumbent in a primary now.
Kind of gross for Bernie to endorse against sitting members of Congress. Bernie is not a Democrat and we should stop treating him like he is.

Since I started my work in the field of human rights in 2014, I have submitted my resignation multiple times after each Israeli offensive on Gaza. After having done my duties as a human rights advocate and -before anything else- as a human being, I fell into depression resulting from desperation over international inaction towards war crimes, and for weeks, sometimes even months, I felt we were screaming into the void. I was known for submitting resignations after each attack until it turned into a joke at the organisation and among my colleagues. As we move to close the physical space of our Euro-Med Monitor (@EuroMedHR) Gaza office, fearing for the safety of our staff following an escalating Israeli campaign in retaliation for our documentation of Israeli abuses, and most recently the release of our report on sexual violence in Israel’s places of detention, I came across this message sent by my manager on the morning of 7 October 2023. Jokingly, he said: “I’m telling you from now, your resignation will be rejected,” and then followed it with another message: “If you stay alive, of course" I sent him the screenshot this morning, reminding him that I “happened to” stay alive, but that, bizarrely, I haven’t submitted my resignation, not during the genocide, not following the ceasefire agreement, and not even now, as an Israeli incitement campaign is escalating. While the world was looking away as a genocide was being livestreamed on their screens, I questioned the point of our work countless times. As I quietly recited the Shahada (the statement of faith before death) each time I entered a school to document testimonies, I questioned whether the world actually deserved more evidence to finally acknowledge that the target was everything called Palestinian, not just a certain political or armed group. I had so many existential questions, but, to my astonishment (and that of my colleagues), not even once did I submit my resignation. With each human rights defender, activist, or journalist targeted, I came to realise more and more that something about them was annoying the perpetrators. And for the first time in my life, I found a purpose in what I want to be; that if I couldn’t stop war criminals, I want to live the rest of my life annoying them. As we close the door to our beloved Gaza office, we have finally, more than ever, found a purpose in continuing what we do by all means, under all circumstances.

Today we honor the memory of Mohammed Abu Khdeir, who was just 16 years old when he was kidnapped in Shuafat in occupied East Jerusalem, beaten, tortured, burned alive and brutally murdered by zionist settlers 11 years ago on July 2, 2014. NEVER FORGET! NEVER FORGIVE!
