OBVIOUS FACTS - Palestinians are human beings. Israel and the US are committing GENOCIDE against Palestinians. The refusal of Western governments to stop this GENOCIDE makes them guilty as well.

Biden should have expanded the court on day one of his presidency. After Mitch rigged the court, expansion was the legitimate response. But Biden plays by the “norms”, while the Republicans discard them. He got played by McConnell because of his racist white male bias. US “democracy” died under him.

If we accept Thomas’ illogic that laws must adhere to the “history and traditions” of the founding, even though ours is a different era. Then he should still be considered 3/5 human and be imprisoned for violating interracial marriage laws. He is already a slave to the rich so I guess no foul there.

The irony is that the US government’s unwillingness to apply the Leahy law to Israel, even when an American citizen is killed, only drives the narrative that “The Jews control America”. Which then drives global anti semitism and isolates Israel.

You’re right that they shouldn’t have to do it…but they should do it when they have to. When Congress goes against the people, the Courts should correct them. When the Courts go against the people, Congress should correct them. The problem is neither body currently represents the people.

Everyone should know by now that Clarence Thomas takes undisclosed money/gifts from rich people and “coincidentally” rules in their favour when relevant cases come before the Un-Supreme court. This is known fact, not news.

We’re supposed to live in a society where ALL people are free to express their thoughts and ideas. The Klan is ALWAYS free to march and chant their racist bullshit, but for some reason this young man’s thoughtful ideas are too dangerous to be expressed and shared. Who is really free?

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. There are two survivors left. Ages 109. I think a lot about the failure of this nation to address this atrocity and many others. Not from the 17th, 18th or 19th century, but the 20th. And the determination of those survivors to live so long.

Agreed. Netanyahu and team will not stop. And Biden is just looking for a cease fire that gets him through the election. He never said he wants a “permanent cease fire”. He talked about a “lasting” cease fire,and a roadmap to an “enduring” cease fire. All of that to say he really has no red line.

Is there anyone left in America that believes Biden is going to sanction Israel for slaughtering Palestinians? IT WON’T HAPPEN. Support for Biden or Trump is supporting genocide - period. I would rather not vote for President than commit my vote, and potentially my soul, to sanctioning genocide.

It would take a HELL OF A LOT for the Chinese do anything worse to Vietnam and the Philippines than the America has already done. America is nobody’s saviour. Much like the Chinese, Russians and Israelis, they use their “balance of power” to serve their own self interest.

The Civil War started because people in the South said, “what happens to life in the South if you take away our slaves?” It is immoral to deny innocent human beings life & liberty because your standard of living will change. The Palestinians did not vote for Trump, Americans did. He’s your problem.

The screw is not only stripped, the top is completely broken off. But most people are so brainwashed and fixated on so called “race” that they waste time blaming “others” instead of focusing on the political and financial elites that broke the system to their advantage.

I look forward to the day when Trump faces justice for his crimes against the people of the United States. I also hope one day to see Biden judged for enabling a genocide against the Palestinian people. But I know the likelihood of US President meeting justice for crimes against the ‘other’ is 0.

Trump is a dumb racist fascist a-hole and Biden cares more about Black votes than he does Black voters. His crime bill ravaged a generation by disproportionately imprisoning Black people. Every 4 years Black voters save America from its worst natural instincts and in the end get the absolute minimum

My op-ed for The Hill on the Antisemitism Awareness Act. There are many horrible things about the proposed act: it would silence Palestinians; it wld violate academic freedom & 1st Amend. It wld also ban the teaching of huge swaths of left-wing Jewish history

As a Black man I could never trust or support Biden. This man was so traumatized by the death of his adult son, but willingly finances the murder/slaughter of other people’s babies. It’s beyond vile. Its ungodly. Pure evil. He obviously cares deeply about non-white votes, but not non-white humans.

American’s choices for President: 1. The sexual deviant, compulsive liar and racist with dictatorial intentions. 2. The guy that continues to enable a genocide and stands arrogantly righteous in that position. Neither of these men represent the best of America? Ditch this process and start over.

Biden says he wants equality and justice for all people, but he sends arms to defend Ukrainians, sends bombs to murder Palestinians, sends nothing to help the people suffering genocide in Darfur and feeds the political chaos and instability in Haiti.

Biden failed to understand Netanyahu’s motivations for continuing this genocide. The 1st was to stay out of jail. The 2nd is to keep his coalition together by ethnically cleansing Gaza and the WB. The 3rd side benefit, is to kill Biden’s chances of re-election to get Trump and Kushner back in power.

We all know that if the South had won the war there wouldn’t have been enough wood to build the gallows. When the enslaved revolted for freedom, they were tortured decapitated or hung. The South revolts to keep humans enslaved and they are forgiven and welcomed back. This is justice in America.

The UNRWA just had to shut down their East Jerusalem HQ because settlers keep setting the property on fire. This will receive exactly zero commentary on the inherent lack of moral compass or brutality of Israelis in the manner that a questionable chant by pro-Palestinian protesters would.

His absolute refusal to acknowledge the elephant, that’s not just in the room, but sitting right on top of him is beyond belief. His chances of winning the election is fading. As we’re all keenly aware, American elections have been won without getting a majority of the vote.
