This answer is as embarrassing as it is disqualifying

Whereas Harris told MSNBC that she believes whether or not Israel has committed genocide is a fair and honest question to ask, Cory Booker explicitly said to the "I've Had it" podcast that he thinks addressing the question of whether Netanyahu has committed crimes would undermine resolving conflict.

Re: Booker's non-answer about Netanyahu on I've Had It

excited for every ambitious

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword.

We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

If you haven’t seen it, this footage from @apnews.com is incredibly important.

The intent here seems unmistakable, in two ways: (1) just read the genocide convention, here it **absolutely** is, and (2) this level of infrastructural destruction is, no question, meant as pre-development demolition.

I was at this debate. The Seattle Times is totally misrepresenting what happened to further the false narrative that Katie Wilson is a nitwit. Wilson was talking about the fact that the CARE team has not been allowed to exercise "its full latitude of responsibility" under the existing contract.

At a recent Seattle University/KOMO TV debate, Harrell’s opponent, activist Katie Wilson, didn’t appear to recognize that she has no authority under labor contracts to order police to do anything without going through a bargaining process.

“As mayor, I will absolutely be working with SPD to make sure that they’re allowing the CARE team their full latitude of response and also to make sure that the CARE team can respond without police when appropriate,” she said.

It’s not that easy.

Nobody wants to admit that “pro-business” policies displace people because there’s no profit for them to make off of housing the unhoused

Erica C. Barnett @ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 3d

Without getting into Burien's long history of policies that harm homeless residents, it's telling that every single city thinks they're doing more than their share and that the homeless people in their city are from "somewhere else." Everyone is doing too much and homeless people are from nowhere

The 10 million number is just people who are members of this group, the actual number of Evangelical Christian Zionists is likely even larger.

Rebecca Bodenheimer @rmbodenheimer.bsky.social · 3d

“Christians United for Israel, the evangelical Zionist group founded by Texas pastor John Hagee, claims 10 million members, more than the entire population of 7.5 million Jews in the United States.”

I wish more people knew this.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”
