What if we don’t? Because the evidence shows us over and over, the criminal legal system protects the powerful. This is what it actually does. It’s not an exception.
We have a broken justice system.

I’m going to say it again, generative AI and the push for it to be used in every Avenue of learning and education is because generative AI literally is a weapon for knowledge destruction not a knowledge creation tool and silicon valleys goal is to monetize and gate off all of human knowledge

Watch all the prison release videos from Syria. Let Syrians feed you a taste of freedom. Imagine your own society opening its doors and borders. Imagine being free one day yourself, truly free. That’s what this moment invites.

I said so many times in so many ways that every election is a base election, and the consultant class that saw that money pour in on July 21 and made it their mission to get their cut, insisted on running a strategy that took base voters for granted. Again.

Watching the videos of Syrian prisoners liberated, I’m reminded of the videos of Lebanese prisoners being freed from Khiam after Israel left Lebanon, and I hope for the day we see Palestinian prisoners walking out of Sde Teiman, Ketziot, Ofer, Gilboa, Damon, Megiddo, Petah Tikva.

To all the analysts jumping on here to warn about tomorrow, Syrians are ten steps ahead of you.

Have some basic human empathy and let those celebrating the release of the unjustly detained, the reuniting of families, the hopes of return, and the end of a brutal regime do so in peace.

Joe Biden is a war criminal who should never know peace
The ICC charged Netanyahu and Gallant with criminal responsibility for withholding humanitarian aid and deliberately starving a civilian population.

Meanwhile, Biden & Blinken claimed no such thing was happening. It is unreasonable to single out Netanyahu. Biden & Blinken should be charged as well

The Biden admin has lied to congress about what it knew, that Israel was in fact blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. Two separate government bodies told them.
