The fact that they are making Colbert look like a radical, who has been irrelevant since the end of the W Bush administration, tells a lot about how inept this fascist takeover is going; but, thanks to the even greater ineptitude of Democratic Party leadership, it's still succeeding.
"Late Show" host Stephen Colbert pushes back against CBS' statement regarding his unaired interview with a Democratic candidate for Senate.

Tbf I used to like Crockett but this primary is turning me into "SALT THE EARTH, DFW MUST NEVER SEND STATEWIDE CANDIDATES AGAIN"
Honestly, the TXSen D primary is kinda quaint
It’s not sunshine, but like 99% of TX Ds like both (most of the discourse™ is non-Texan)
But then you look at the Republican primary and I’ve received my 50th mailer from one candidate implying the other is a woke Muslim Jew

A weird center left posture you've seen a lot of over the last two years is "Trump backs Israel unconditionally, which I am neutral to positive about". Not really sure what the complaint is therefore supposed to be.

Don't think people on here really understand yet that criticism of AIPAC is now as mainstream as ever within Democratic politics— I still routinely see people say this is a niche concern among the far left but AIPAC's activities since 2022 have alarmed even some center left incumbents in Congress.

Like Euclidean geometry, Israel is only ever approaching Apartheid and Genocide, at infinity so to speak, but never crossing the line into it. Hence it can never be accused of it, let alone held responsible for it. The perfect crimes against humanity.

![Most importantly, in response to the Palestinian uprising, public opinion, media coverage and (to a lesser degree) the rhetoric of US policy toward Israel have begun to shift. One survey done for the American Jewish Congress in April 1988 found that 43 percent of the US public favored an “independent Palestinian state on the West Bank” and 62 percent endorsed US negotiations with the PLO. According to pollster John Marttila, support for a Palestinian homeland has increased by 10 percent among the general public in the last three years. [8] The Los Angeles Times poll done this spring found that 34 percent of non-Jews favored a reduction of military aid to Israel and 65 percent thought there was “an element of racism involved in the attitude of Israelis toward Arabs.” The change in the press’ approach was highlighted by ABC Nightline’s week-long series from Israel and the occupied territories in the spring. The Jerusalem “town meeting” between three Palestinians and four Israelis, in front of a live audience made up of members of both communities, emphasized what became an important theme of media coverage this year: that at its core this was a conflict of two nations.

the enormously funny fact is that if Taiwan drops their claim to the owning the mainland, this would be seen as an affront to the PRC
Also the US recognised that Taiwan is part of China and that the People's Republic is the official government of China but that doesn't constitute recognising that the PRC is the government of Taiwan.
You may now see why AOC can't state this clearly!

OK, *ongoing* thread of books to read on Palestine. Some recent, some not at all so recent.
I’ve been thinking on this as I read more. Also how the settlers trigger response that the army uses to validate excessive force.
Also, I’ve concluded 100 Year War on Palestine. Do you have other suggestions for reading? If you don’t mind. I’d actually love a thread if you do. Not that you have to.
