Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal — and we as a nation are directly implicated in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
In response, the United States must stop all military assistance to Israel.
There's no moral clarity in wreaking vengeance on innocent people.

That any of us even feel a choice in avoiding the bad news in these moments is possible shows the subtle and insidious ways privilege works. It allows us to have urgency as an option, where for others it is a necessity.

again, more than 40% of Cuomo's 2025 endorsers called on him to resign four years ago and I think it's incredibly important to recognize the breadth of cowardice from the current political class and the depth of courage of the women who stood up to him, like @lindseyboylan.bsky.social.
