Sadly, I suspect Booker's problem is that he KNOWS his support of Netanyahu goes against his own moral code. But he's not willing to acknowledge that, apologize, or change. So he can't actually address or explain; he can only dodge. And that's unacceptable to Democratic voters in 2025.

"I think the Democratic base feels like there is a disconnect. We hear you, when you did your 25-hour speech, I was like go Cory, I love this, that is amazing.

And then there's a photo shoot with you with Benjamin Netanyahu, and I was just like, what in the actual fuck? It was heartbreaking."

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

it wasn't enough that our cities and states already paid far more than they receive from the federal government. the people who elected trump want to steal more from us, to give to Argentina, to give to ICE, to give to billionaires. Intolerable

IDK why people are surprised. The Democratic base is far to the left of leadership on this and has been for a while. Simple as that.

This is the message ahead of #NoKings day, and if your local politicians aren't preaching it, well... they better start. Or maybe they'll end up like Cuomo.

Theee is no ceasefire if Israel continues to lie and randomly kill Palestinians. I am not surprised.

The many media outlets, politicians, and commentators who rushed to declare “a great peace, glory to the king!” should ask themselves why they did that, and figure out how to not make the same mistake again.

(ABC) - The Israel Defense Forces said its troops opened fire on Palestinians, killing five, after they allegedly violated the terms of the ceasefire agreement.

Unconditional support for the Israeli government is counterproductive for both countries. If Trump can get tough, why not Congress and every potus? The Israel right-or-wrong position AIPAC, right-wing Christians, and some US Jews have held is no longer unassailable. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
What now for Israel and Gaza?
No one will be the same.

"Normies", the people who are not very engaged in politics, are becoming alarmed and against troops in our cities and the treatment of immigrants among other things. Protests must remain peaceful to keep this voting block on our side.

Shocker: “The Americans who own the most guns aren't hunters or veterans or cops — they're white evangelical Christians.” @axios.com
Axios screenshot:

“The Americans who own the most guns aren't hunters or veterans or cops — they're white evangelical Christians.

Why it matters: Evangelicals also run major gun manufacturing companies, Axios copy editor Bill Kole, a former AP foreign correspondent, writes in a book out tomorrow, "In Guns We Trust: The Unholy Trinity of White Evangelicals, Politics, and Firearms."
Kole is an "exvangelical" who left the movement over guns and social issues.

Progressive Christians are working to reclaim the narrative around God and guns by organizing buyback events and turning AR-15 rifles and other weapons into garden tools.”

This could have been President Biden, yet Trump can claim peacemaker. Biden sabotaged ceasefire and hostage deals by continuing to arm and enable Netanyahu’s siege of Gaza — with our taxdollars. May peace hold.

You can arrest us or pepper spray us or whatever, but we will make you look stupid and feel silly doing it because wanting to assert control is stupid. You want to assert control? Do it to an inflatable frog!
So, it’s not just a meme thing, it’s a Portland cultural thing.

Israel long-blamed the UN for lack of aid to Gaza. Except, of course, aid is now flowing.
nytimes.com
The UN said on Sunday that “real progress” was being made in delivering aid to Gaza as the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas paved the way for humanitarian agencies to scale up their operations in the territory.
‘Real Progress’ Is Made in Delivering Aid to Gaza, U.N. Says
The cease-fire agreement reached last week contained stipulations for an increase of aid into the territory, where it had been sharply curtailed.

Indeed. The issue is not "Jews are white and Palestinians are brown" the issue is the state of Israel, defined constitutionally as a Jewish state in its political, legal, and social character is as a result explicitly exclusionary and creates 2nd and 3rd tiers of life. It is racial, just arbitrary.

What it means is quite literally that you can, in fact, find people of physical traits you wouldn't expect in almost every ethnic group in the world. There are Saudis who are natural blondes and Finns whose grandparents were all born there who are remarkably swarthy. It just happens.
