"The Harvard graduating students denied their degrees over Palestine protest"
"The decision by Harvard to delay degrees for 13 students for one year has caused outrage at the university & a mass walkout from its graduation ceremony.
"Harvard Corporation barred these students from receiving their degrees... on account of their involvement in the three-week pro-Palestine encampment at the university last month."
"June 8 marks 8 months of US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, and marks the 54th anniversary of the occupation of Gaza.
"Biden can’t draw the line, but we can.
"We demand an immediate ceasefire, an immediate end to the siege on Gaza, the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners, & an end to the occupation of Palestine."

I get real sick of some of the purity-testing lefty bullshit on here and then I run into a buzzsaw of "you support GENOCIDE OF JEWS" comments elsewhere for supporting Biden's restraint of Netanyahu's government and it's like "oh yeah. It's all fucking terrible, now I remember. All the time. All of it."
I wasn't going to link to this here, but now I am, because what the commenter replied to isn't even primarily about Gaza, it's mostly about how you reward - or punish - politicians with the granting and removal of power.
Even so, just supporting Biden's restraint as an illustration was enough to get me accused of supporting genocide of Jews.
“The word ‘prophet’ might bring to mind a Gandalf-like figure: long white beard, eyes that see into the spirit realm, etc. These Texas prophets don’t much resemble that image.“

putin said to many news outlets that "Russia did not attack Ukraine, but defended itself" (TASS) I guess by invading Ukraine which somehow is not an attack. It's not even a good lie.
He also said "Former US President Donald Trump is being persecuted for political reasons, and this fact destroys Washington’s imaginary leadership in the sphere of democracy" (TASS). Mr. putin, is the imaginary leadership in the room with us?
