Also Reminder for the history-denial buffs amongst you. Ann Larson isn't talking here about GW Bush nor Donald Trump. She's talking about your #HeCouldDoNoWrong, #$un-$hines-Out-Of-His-A$$ idol, Barack "Drone-Bomb Weddings" Obama. (Thanks to @postmonkey.bsky.social for the image! I added ALT text)
Ann Larson posted on X:

I've got a story for you. There was a financial crisis, and the president bailed out the banks instead of homeowners. The world we are living in today is a direct result.

I scrolled down dozens of quote-reposts to Jill Lawrence' ludicrous post, & @geeanon.bsky.social's is simply the best! (Better than all the rest!) FYI, Dubya's administration paved the way for Obama's #NoWeCan't/betraying/pro-Richies/3082-day-nonstop-bombing one. And Obama's paved the way for Trump
Oompa Lumpenprole's quote-repost consists of only a photo of Michelle Obama hugging George W. Bush while Barack & Laura look on. Everybody's smiling.

@bombscare.bsky.social replied to one of my posts with a dubious comment. Scrolling down its profile, I find that it's aggressively wrong on many issues: racism, feminism, Jason Arday, Trans Rights... & this eugenics doozy, implying that Jews are more intelligent than the rest of us. BLOCKED!
Bomb scare posted 
Ashkenazi Jews are like .1% of the worlds population and yet have won 20% of Nobel Prizes. I don’t doubt that culture plays a very important role in that, but it seems likely that genetics does too.

TY, @jesspected.bsky.social, for bringing the Daisy Coleman story to my attention! bsky.app/profile/jess... Also 2012: 15yo Audrie Pott hanged herself 8 days after being raped & cyberbullied. HuffPost named Coleman in "13 Most Fearless Teens of 2013". It didn't keep her from suicide 7 years later.
Poster of the documentary "Audrie & Daisy”, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2016.

The poster features  the line SHAME IS TRENDING & the hashtag #EVERYONEKNOWS

The 2-tone photo shows an adolescent girl sitting on the ground and hugging her knees in a school hall while other students mill around her at a certain distance.

Do their stories presage that of Michael Tracey and the Cornell 7 ?

2012: 14-year-old Daisy Coleman was raped. Her family had to move to another town due to bullying after she was doxxed.

Michael Tracey argues that "naming and shaming" the Cornell 7, [alleged] perpetrators of gang rape - NECESSARY in bringing a civil suit against them - should be countered by naming and shaming the woman whom they [allegedly] kept prisoner and raped for 7 hours while she was drugged. EVIL SCUMBAG!

The Cornell 7 "Jane Doe" thought that Matthew Ingalls was her friend. He pressured her into snorting ketamine while drunk; raped her; kept her prisoner - drugged and raped - for 7 hours; invited others to rape her; forced more ketamine and hard rum on her; snorted ketamine off her unconscious body

Doe went to visit Ingalls, her friend. He proposed a threesome, and took her to another room. He coerced Doe into taking ketamine and drinking high-proof rum. He raped her for hours.

Here's what I quote-reposted to Acyn's opening post. bsky.app/profile/grum... 2 different issues. Pretending that putting children into cages began with Trump is just wrong! And, FYI, ICE was created by SunnuvaBush, but restricted to 12 Texas districts. It was Obama who spread it to 50 states.
A list of all the years of the existence of ICE, since its creation in 2003 until 2025.

(Thanks to @my-random-name.bsky.social for this list.)

Each year from 2003 to 2016 has the comment "Democrats fund ICE."

From 2017 to 2020 (Trump's first term), the comment changes to "Democrats denounce ICE."

2021 (Beginning of Biden's term as POTUS): Democrats fund ICE again.

From 2022 to 2024 (Biden's other years as POTUS): Democrats break funding record for ICE.

2025 (Trump returns): Democrats denounce ICE.

EVERY major nonpartisan Human Rights organisation - including Israeli ones - say that it's a genocide. Many Jewish Holocaust survivors say so, as well. As do Holocaust scholars. To deny it is to deny the ample evidence, to declare oneself anti-Human-Rights and pro-genocide.
In case you’re not aware, the list of human rights groups who say Israel is guilty of genocide includes the following:

1. The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory

2. The International Association of Genocide Scholars

3. B’Tselem (an Israeli organization)

4. Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (another Israeli organization)

5. Amnesty International

6. Doctors Without Borders

7. The European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights

8. Human Rights Watch

9. The International Federation for Human Rights

10. Oxfam

The list of humanitarian institutions who say Israel is NOT committing genocide in Gaza includes:

1. Nobody

2. No one

3. Zero

4. Nothing

5. Nada

6. Zilch

7. Sweet damn all

8. A complete absence

9. Diddly squat

10. Bupkis

Pick any major human rights group who might be expected to take a position on whether a genocide is being committed somewhere in the world, and you will be able to find a statement from that group explicitly calling Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide. There are zero comparable human rights groups taking the opposite position.

OF COURSE Deborah Lipstadt is a genocide denier! As head of Biden's pro-Israel propaganda team, to admit that it's a genocide would be to confess that SHE is a war criminal. Reminder that Lipstadt retweeted a tweet implying that a NYT editor should be hanged for publishing the rape-by-dogs story.
Screenshot of Lipstadt's quote-repost:

Deborah E. Lipstadt
@deborahlipstadt [on X.com]
Have they -- the NY Times -- no sense of decency and journalistic responsibility??? @nytimes

She was retweeting Adam Louis-Klein (@adam_louis52328)'s tweet which compared the NYT with hanged Nazi Julius Streicher, editor of Der Stürmer, hinting that people at the NYT should be hanged as well:

Headline: The NYT published the antizionist dog rape libel

Julius Streicher, the editor of the Nazi propaganda rag Der Stürmer, was convicted of crimes against humanity at Nuremberg for inciting hatred and violence against Jews. He was hanged in 1946.

One day soon, history will render the same verdict on antizionism. It will be recognized not as "normal criticism of a country," but as the contemporary form of Jew-hatred. And when that day comes, the New York Times Will face a long-overdue reckoning. Because we are documenting it all.

Also, a reminder that when the Dems were in a position to give you DECENT, EFFICIENT healthcare (and to codify Roe vs Wade), they gave you huge-profits-for-insurance-companies "healthcare" which makes even bigger profits by denying claims (and kept Pro-Choice as a vote/donations magnet).
A donkey (standing for "Dem voters, Women, and/or Feminists") has a long stick (labeled "Dem politicians' campaign promises") tied to its back, reaching through its ears. From the front end of the stick dangles a carrot (labeled "Women's Reproductive Rights, GUARANTEED").

Upper left, there's a yellow and black sign with a warning triangle and the words "WARNING! SCAM ALERT".

Federally guaranteed Women's Reproductive Rights are the perennial carrot dangled in front of Dem voters' noses. Never achieved because it's too valuable as a campaign *promise* and donation magnet.

They have NO intention of "killing the goose that lays golden eggs".

Don't expect that it would have been any different with Harris in the Oval Office! She may be a woman (probably past menopause, so "abortion rights or not?" won't affect her personally), but she's first and foremost an ambitious politician who would have continued the Dem deceit on this issue.

It turns out that Pink (AKA p!nk) - who has supported charities Human Rights Campaign, Save The Children, & UNICEF's child hunger campaign, and whose own song "Dear Mr. President" is highly political - wants to silence other artists (this ISN'T the first time!) who want to save PALESTINIAN children!
A photo of Hind Rajab, murdered by Israel when 6 years old, with caption "I'M WITH HER".

P!NK objected to Macklemore's song "Hind's Hall" being performed in the opening set at an Ed Sheeran concert, and reposted a message from the pro-genocide organisation "StopAntisemitism" which demanded that concertgoers get refunds for being subjected to political content.

Did you know❓ According to @declassifieduk.org, the Israeli government and/or pro-Israel lobbies had already spent over £600,000 on individual members of Starmer's cabinet, as well as additional gifts to other Labour Friends Of Israel MPs... BEFORE Palestine Action got proscribed. Update please!
A poster produced by Declassified UK, with the heading 'Pro-Israel lobby
 donated to half of Starmer's cabinet'.

There are photos of Starmer and 12 members of his cabinet, accompanied 
by their names, positions, and the amount in bribes that they've 
accepted from the Pro-Israel lobby, ranging from £1,400 to £215,000.

Starmer himself has received £50,000, but that sum is surpassed in the 
cases of 5 cabinet ministers:
Yvette Cooper, Home Secretary (£215,000)
David Lammy, Foreign Secretary (£102,640)
Rachel Reeves, Chancellor (£101,710)
Bridget Phillipson, Education Secretary (£60,000)
Lisa Nandy, Culture Secretary (£52,000)

Wes Streeting, Health & Social Care Secretary (who admitted in private correspondence that Israel was committing war crimes), is at £29,160, and
Angela Rayner, Deputy PM, is at £25,000.

SO FAR...

The original chart has been modified with a heading & a footnote.

The heading:
PLEASE NOTE that this chart is outdated!(originally published by declassifieduk.org)

The footnote:
It was created BEFORE Yvette Cooper proscribed Palestine Action & labelled peaceful, anti-Genocide protestors as 'terrorists'.
🤔
I'm sure that she got a BIG FAT BONUS for that.

Grace (Blue Heart) - @grace2002.bsky.social - still believes that Biden was mediating to stop a genocide... after Israeli officials AND Biden's aides' admitted that he put NO pressure on 🇮🇱, even just for a ceasesfire! "Biden's mediation was just ridiculed by Netanyahu"... because it WAS ridiculous.
Grace (Blue Heart)’s full reply to a post about Netanyahu boasting about manipulating the American people into allowing Israel to drag the USA into a war with Iran:

>>Israel did their best to sink Biden's bid for reelection.

Remember this was the apex of the razing of Gaza, and Biden's mediation was just ridiculed by Netanyahu.<<

@akoustov.bsky.social: "This is the first open letter I've signed. I encourage all academics who still care about higher ed's credibility to do it. "I never signed any letters criticising the firing of multiple academics for protesting a genocide, so, yeah, I'm also a racist with despicable views."
A screenshot of Alexander Kustov/Koustov's skeet about speaking out for "higher ed's credibility". It includes a screenshot of the open letter he signed (protesting the suspension of bigot/racist Nathan Cofnas by Ghent University) & begins with "This is the first open letter I've signed.

[Andy Burnham's] government argues that it would be "too expensive" to have a court case [on lifting the ban on Palestine Action]. Is it not too expensive to continue arresting, charging, trying, and incarcerating thousands of PEACEFUL protesters for exercising [what used to be] Freedom Of Speech?!

It would be grossly oversimplifying things to say that the Labour government is Israel's bitch.

It's only one of a whole kennel of Israel's bitches.

>>Defendants spent up to 18 months in pre-trial detention, with some going on hunger strike to protest at their conditions. None of the eight defendants were on the factory premises when the raid happened.<< But the government will doubtless spend tens of thousands of taxpayers' £££ on a retrial.

Remember these names. Remember these faces. And NEVER forget Hind Rajab! More in ALT text.
A photo of a smiling, 5-year-old Hind Rajab, before she was left to die of bullet wounds in a car with the bodies of 6 dead relatives which was surrounded by Israeli tanks (just one of which is estimated to have fired 335 rounds of bullets into the car, which visibly contained civilians, including 5 children: the number of bullets from the other tanks remains unknown) which also killed 2 ambulance workers sent to rescue her (and who had been assured of "safe passage" by the Israelis).

ALL with the backing of the Biden administration!*

What Trump's administration is doing is merely a continuation. It wouldn't be possible if Biden had stopped the arms supplies in Spring, 2024.

"The lesser of 2 evils" is STILL EVIL.

The text at the bottom of the photo reads "I'M WITH HER".

* And Andy Burnham's "Labour" government in the UK is also STILL supplying weapons parts used in the massacre, despite ICC & ICJ rulings!

"in '20 he knew his time had passed but still wanted to try" Well, he wasn't trying very hard. He pulled his punches with his "good friend Joe" (who didn't pull his punches with Bernie) & even got angry with his own supporters who were criticising Biden more vigoously (e.g. pointing out his LIES).

Panel 4: If you attack him, I will disown you.

There are people who omit facts to try and make you believe that Dems have only made minor/trivial mistakes. FYI (as just two examples of the untruth this is based on), Clinton was a serial sex predator. And - more topical - Trump wouldn't even be POTUS if Dems hadn't paved the way for him.
Screenshot of Miaganga's post, listing a series of heinous offenses committed by Republicans, contrasted with only 2 minor infractions by Dems: Clinton's blowjob by Monica Lewinsky & Obama's tan suit.

Miaganga either hasn't been playing attention, or is being dishonest.Gross acts of incompetence, cynicism, and or crimes against humanity committed by Dems, with paragraphs in alternating white and yellow:

First concentration camps on USA's soil: Democrat (Roosevelt, 1942-46)

Firebombing of Dresden, a cultural landmark with little strategic significance: Democrat (Roosevelt, 1945)

ONLY nuclear bombs ever dropped on civilians: Democrat (Truman, 1945)

Anti-Leftist/Liberal "Witch Hunt" begun: Democrat (Truman, 1947)

Expansion of USA's involvement in Vietnam Warincluding use of napalm: Democrats (Kennedy & Johnson, 1960s)

Cynically using the Abortion Rights issue to gain votes and donations, without ever trying to codify Roe vs Wade: Democrats (every Dem POTUS since 1975)

Deregulation of financial institutions, resulting in 2008 crash: Democrat (Clinton)

Bombing Baghdad (with which USA was NOT at war at the time) in order to deflect public attention from Lewinsky scandal: Democrat (Clinton, 1998)

Bailout for Wall Street, the perpetrators of the 2008 crash, while ignoring the victims: Democrat (Obama)

Bribing the healthcare industry, rather than even trying to fix it as was "promised: Democrat (Obama)

First 8-year administration in which every single day 🇺🇸 dropped bombs on other countries: Democrat (Obama 2009-17)

Expansion of ICE from 12 Texas districts to cover 100% of 🇺🇸: Dem (Obama - nicknamed "Deporter-In-Chief" and "Presidente Deportación")

Escalation of 🇮🇱 oppression of Palestine into a full blown genocide: Dem (Biden, 2023-25)

Ending with message in blue:

Let's stop pretending that the Democrats have only made MINOR mistakes, faux pas, and inappropriate sexual connections.

They actively helped create the mess you're in.

The self-centredness of many 🇺🇸Americans. 'Psychopaths who call themselves "The World's Most Moral Army" have slaughtered tens of thousands of children - WITH 🇺🇸 MONEY - and daily violate a ”ceasefire", but hey, what's REALLY important is that we have to pay $4/gallon for gas! 'Genocide bores us.' 🙄

As is typical I post a tweet referencing the genocide in Gaza and rhe west bank, the post gets some attention and suddenly people I've never interacted with start blocking me. Its almost as if lists get passed around of anyone posting in support of Palestine,  be they big accounts or not...
