« [C]omme l’écrivait il y a plus de vingt ans l’historien anglo-américain Tony Judt, #Israël apparait aux #ManifestantsÉtudiants comme «un anachronisme», un État d’un autre temps, à la fois ethniciste et colonial, l’un des derniers de la planète. C’est pour ce motif qu’ils s’insurgent contre ce qu’il advient à #Gaza. »

Bill Clinton betrayed the working class Americans, sold his soul to wealthy hedge fund guys, deregulated the financial system, oversaw US foreign direct investment in China and totally undermined its most loyal ally, Japan. He was also a serial sexual harasser and a friend of Jeff Epstein. Hillary went along with it all and insulted so women who were abused by Bill. Biden looks like a saint compared to the two Clintons. #uspol

The US has created special mechanisms to shield Israel from sanctions that are designed to punish countries for human rights abuses.

@randahl @djr

the law is very similar to FARA and would allow them to better understand Russian influence there. but it would also allow them to better understand US/EU influence, which is why Western media outlets want to promote these protests. the people in all these countries want to be independent and play the two sides of each other. obviously the US/EU don't want that. recall Victoria Nuland's leaked call from Ukraine in 2014. this is just another coup effort.

"They Used to Say Arabs Can’t Have Democracy Because It’d Be Bad for Israel. Now the U.S. Can’t Have It Either"

"Arab publics favor the Palestinians, the thinking goes, & will vote in governments that act accordingly — & that is a no-go zone."

Now, "the U.S., it seems, can’t have democracy either, lest an American democracy end its support for everything & anything Israel wants to do to the Palestinians."

"The most powerful weapon you have is the weapon of truth & justice. You should never create a situation where you can be silenced on the grounds of feelings & emotions."

Columbia President Shafik’s remarks were all about hurt feelings. "That whole language has completely corrupted the notion of free speech & academic freedom."

As someone who keeps her children (born and unborn) away from data detection, I know how catastrophic the bill’s national database is.

But I am also a scholar who studies , so I know a government handout bill when I see one.

Look past the website to Title II, section 1a, eligibility for government grants for maternal support.

This is a for pro-life nonprofits, with restrictions against funding for orgs like , dressed up as maternal support.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite I’m not a #uspol expert, but the novel enmeshing of a privacy-violating technical system with anti-abortion politics might mean there is an opportunity for new bedfellows when it comes to lobbying on the Hill. Pro-choice and pro-privacy advocates must join forces to guard against the dual dystopias inherent to this Attwoodesque proposal. As in, @eff meet #PlannedParenthood

It is wild to me that the would call the right to be free from social consequences a “fundamental right” and it presumably made it past multiple reviews.

It is directly in conflict with First Amendment rights of free speech and association.

Which is the core set of (truly) fundamental rights which underpins their entire organization.

It’s a warning. No, like many other institutions which are critical to democracy: the Press cannot save us either.

I see the demented, decaying orange turd is conjuring up Hannibal Lecter, presumably thinking he was a real person, at his rallies these days.

He could literally eat and serve human remains at a rally and the media woud give him a pass.

After they helped themselves to the buffet line.
