Under Nazi rule, clergy who refused to support the regime were surveilled, arrested, assaulted, and in some cases, executed. The Nazis publicly aligned themselves with Christian values while targeting religious figures who defended the vulnerable or spoke against state violence.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

It took this long to come to this conclusion? No. If there were a word and definition beyond genocide—that’s what it would be. That’s what is happening.

We are numb to our most expressive diction, because we are a numb people.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

This is a time for people to come together and push for things we agree on:

- Release the Epstein list.

- Ban congressional stock trading.

- Get corporate and dark money out of politics.

Rhetoric needs to change from “oh, we genuinely care and don’t want to cause harm,” to “yes, that was unfortunate and unfortunately a lot of citizens and people are very passionate and upset right now…and those are potential consequences people might have to face.”

It very much echos the playing the victim tactic and contorting the situation into them being the abused and that the abusive harm they caused was in reaction to the abuse from their abuser. The mental gymnastics that their kind is most expert.

I love that!! 😂🤣 The irony though. Wow.

😔 R.I.P. to all those lost in the world trade center tragedy of September 11, 2001. And, to all our service members who sacrificed in the war on terrorism that the event prompted—and their loved ones—, thank you for your service. 🇱🇷

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?
