This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

What were the details of that promise? A pause on funding and weapons sales? A promise to intervene and create a barrier zone between the 2 states? To arrest and send to the ICC anyone with warrants for war crimes?

Wrong. I've said this kind of thing for years. Assumptions are poor base for argument. The Dem leadership failed to codify Roe, failed to give us universal healthcare(or even a public option), failed to punish Trump after J6. Rightward concessions in domestic mass surveillance...I can go on.

I did vote for her. My argument is that she failed to make any concessions towards people that the party then demanded votes from. The argument in progress was already framed around Gaza. There were a number of other issues she could have conceded on and won additional votes.

So centrists can demand the vote of people to whom they make no concessions? And everyone just has to live with that? All she had to say was she was committed to ending the massacre. She refused. That's on her. Her, and your, failure to own up to that, is the whole fucking problem.

They have the power to not take weak, centrist positions. They had the power to not have made concession after concession to the right for the past 30 years. Schumerism is begging votes from the middle instead of the base. It's the whole fucking problem.

Harris is a corporate centrist. She is not left wing. Not even close. She made zero concessions to the actual left, but then demanded their votes. That's how you lose. All she had to say was she was committed to ending the massacre in Gaza. She didn’t even have to use the g word.

89 million people didn't vote. So fuck your 740K. Just take accountability for having a shitty position. A failure to be anti-genocide/ethnic cleansing is crazy, because that is the world's easiest position to take.

Never occurred to you that it was the centrists who stuck the knife in every one else? For decades? Dem Socialists weren't why the Dems failed. If you think that you're an idiot. Look within the Dem party leadership. Schumer. Jeffries. There's your failure.

The DOJ was willing to charge a labor leader with a crime, hold it over him for months, & then walk away from it once the charge couldn’t survive scrutiny. That is not how a justice system is supposed to work.

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.
New court filings detail immigration agents in Los Angeles referring to potential targets using racial slurs.
Civil rights groups are asking a federal judge to bar an “ongoing campaign of suspicionless and discriminatory” stops in the Central District of California.
Immigration agents who descended on Los Angeles last summer referred to Latinos using slurs like “tonk” and “wet,” according to body camera footage and text messages detailed in a court filing asking a federal judge to bar agents from making stops based on racial profiling.

After a June raid at Home Depot in Hollywood, body camera footage captured an agent saying: “There was a guy, I’m pretty sure he’s wet he was just sitting in that minivan.” A text chain revealed an agent referring to “tonks everywhere selling food” — using a word reportedly derived from the sound an agent’s utility flashlight makes when hitting a migrant’s head. In a video, an agent said, “Yeah, just plug us in wherever you see some tonks and we’ll jump out.”

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's illegal for landlords to:
- Lock you out or evict you without a court order.
- Shut off your heat, hot water, electricity, or other essential services to force you out of your home.
- Retaliate against you for reporting unsafe conditions or exercising your tenant rights.
- Leave serious health and safety hazards, like mold, unrepaired.
- Discriminate against you because of your race, disability, or other protected characteristics.
