Israel: We are banning UNRWA, expelling UN officials, restricting UN staff travel, killing more than 200 UN staff, ordering the evacuation of UN HQ in Deir-al-Bala, firing at UN trucks
Also Israel: Why is the UN starving Gaza?

Many years later, as he faced the editorial board, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani was to remember that distant afternoon when his father told him to abolish ICE
so I have a lot of complicated thoughts about the specific issue at hand, but I have to point out that’s not what “magical realism” is

ICE and its congressional backers (in both parties) should really consider the optics of arresting and brutalizing a 9-month pregnant woman, kidnapping high school students, and attacking journalists. Such radical violence is out of touch with everyday Americans and isn't helping your cause.

They have to do this tedious lecture if you speak ill of Obama because they need Trump to be an aberration - a random event with no ties to prior presidents, policies, or systems. It allows them to continue to support all the things Trump is continuing when a future more polite President does them.
The online left has this very strange idea that attacking *Barack Obama* is a good way to win influence inside the Democratic coalition

Should be a bigger story that John McCain’s widow Cindy McCain went on American TV and called bullshit on Israel’s lies last weekend. Like John McCain’s widow is now to the left of Cory Booker on Israel. That’s how bad the Dems are on Palestinian human rights.
"Cindy McCain, director of the World Food Programme (WFP), rejected Israel’s claims that Hamas is stealing aid entering the Gaza Strip on CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday."

This is NPR deliberately conflating political violence with antisemitism to stifle criticism of the genocide in Gaza
If the suspect in the recent D.C. case planned to kill people because of their Jewish faith, this would represent a major anomaly in lethal, antisemitic violence.

"How many acts of genocide does it take to make a genocide?"
As people debate the term "genocide," I think back to this question we asked the Biden administration just a few months ago, back in December.
Israeli forces have killed at least 10,000 people since then.

Democrats ran three older people with cancer knowing they had cancer, they died within months of being sworn in, and that helped clear the way for Republicans to starve kids across the country. I cannot begin to tell you how much I hate it here.
With a 215-214 margin, the three Dem-won seats with vacancies loom large.
215-214, House Republicans vote to PASS their multi-trillion-dollar MAGA bill, sending it to the Senate
Massie & Davidson vote NO.
Andy Harris votes PRESENT.
Garbarino & Schweikert miss the vote.
All other Republicans vote YES.
