I live with two junkfood vegans and oh my god dude. I'm literally broke and eating from food banks and my diet is less bad than theirs.

I left out something important - she was one of three Democrat Senators to miss the vote. (Gallego and Kelly were the other two.)

I am literally too broke for stamps right now, so I've been using FaxZero to send letters I write, print, sign in ink, and scan with my phone to the fax number on their Senate website.

I made sure to let him know, in absolutely blistering terms.

yeah, I could have chosen a better word.

I'll blame it on posting this at the end of about day 3 boosting a ton of Gaza genocide content.

I really hope skeptical Jews can gain greater control of the narrative, because imo right now what's visible on legacy media and corporate social media is very heavily biased to presenting only the far-right view as if Jewish people are a monolith who back it completely.

Jeffrey Goldberg's The Atlantic is the quintessential secular pseudo-intellectual shitlib rag, so I check it once in a while to keep my finger on that mayo-stream pulse; in this case I think being center-right might have informed their access here. It's nothing that hasn't been said elsewhere in the past 7 days or so, but I thought it was an interesting summary.

Not sure on the depiction of Trump as upset by murdered babies on TV, but (as the article points out) this isn't the first time that's supposedly happened; it's food for thought in the age-old "are people with NPD fully human or not?" debate.

 

"If a publication ran an editors' note to 'clarify' that some portion of Nazi death camp victims had preexisting conditions, it would rightfully be accused of Holocaust denialism," said one observer.

I've been seeing estimates which I considered at least semi-credible of total excess deaths as high as 400-500K but I can't remember what orgs were saying that, just that they were factoring in disease, untreated medical conditions, lost under the rubble, etc.

Jeff Merkley co-sponsored the legislation to stop arming Israel.

Ron Wyden, who holds dual citizenship in Israel, voted to continue arming Israel.

This is not an inadvertent side effect, and the sudden recent push for identity verification in Western countries is not about "protecting children," it's about re-consolidating control of what people see & hear, to finally close the decentralized flow of information which really burst into awareness for rich elites during Arab Spring.

 

Here’s the list of every Democrat who voted against measures from Senator Bernie Sanders to stop giving weapons to Israel.

  1. Michael Bennett (CO)
  2. Richard Blumenthal (CT)
  3. Cory Booker (NJ)
  4. Maria Cantwell (WA)
  5. Chris Coons (DE)
  6. Catherine Cortez Masto (NV)
  7. John Fetterman (PA)
  8. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY)
  9. Maggie Hassan (NH)
  10. John Hicklenlooper (CO)
  11. Jon Ossoff (GA)
  12. Alex Padilla (CA)
  13. Gary Peters (MI)
  14. Jack Reed (RI)
  15. Jackie Rosen (NV)
  16. Adam Schiff (CA)
  17. Chuck Schumer (NY)
  18. Mark Warner (VA)

maybe that's what you were intending to convey, but that is not at all what comes across.

if one of these is your particular Senator, and you can spare energy for a call, free fax (send with FaxZero), or email telling them exactly what you think of them supporting & enabling a genocidal apartheid state... please do.

these people have names and addresses. it's time for some accountability.
