I think you're basically doing PR for a person like this if you don't force them to grapple with why they gleefully participated in the heinous political culture they're now decrying. Do you understand why you were wrong or are you just mad because you didn't expect to be a victim

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial."
"Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

![Statement on Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Genocide Denial at the Israel Hayom Summit
December 9, 2025
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security feels called to point out that former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s recent remarks at the Israel Hayom Summit on 2 December amount to outright genocide denial.
During her remarks, the Secretary correctly noted that the recent deterioration of Israel’s standing among U.S. voters is not a “Republican versus Democrat kind of divide” but rather a generational one. Nevertheless, she incorrectly diagnosed the reasons for the shift as a matter purely of optics, stating that “Israel [has] the worst PR of any group” and accusing social media, particularly TikTok, of presenting “pure propaganda” that American youth are uncritically ingesting.
Secretary Clinton’s framing is not at all an accurate reflection of why Americans are growing more critical of Israel. Young Americans of all political stripes have not fallen prey to propaganda, though that is always a legitimate concern. Rather, they have consumed two years of videos depicting Israel’s genocide against Palestinians that have been uploaded by Palestinian journalists, ordinary people trying to survive in Gaza, IDF soldiers, and ordinary Israelis themselves. There has been no convincing refutation of the sheer amount of raw evidence of genocide coming out of Palestine. Young people in the U.S. are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well.
Secretary Clinton appears not to be bothered by the reality of genocidal violence – in fact, she did not mention anything about it. Her concern is, rather, in her words, “the narrative” – the fact that these crimes are no longer hidden and are now being live-streamed and documented in real time, making it harder for her and others to control it. TikTok cannot be blamed for the fact that many members of Gen Z understand that Israel is …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pwsjq3xnal6auzgeqho4ecw7/bafkreiafbjju65esvo6htynkkl6or6muv4qqhwo5fghkkbyvclgnxxmchy@jpeg)

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

I wish I loved anything as much as Democrats love blaming marginalized communities for their own oppression by the state. I wouldn’t have voted for Trump if I were an Arab-American either but what exactly was Harris offering other than continuity of a government that was actively abetting genocide?
America’s first Arab majority city of which 42% of votes went to Trump versus 36% for Kamala Harris is upset with Democrats for not doing more to stop Trump’s anti-immigrant actions.
I keep wondering, what did they expect? Did they sleep through his entire first term?

Something every 2026/28 Dem should commit to is investigations of any company that did deals with Trump. A kind of forward guidance to get companies to think twice in advance of what’s coming.

Sometimes I wonder if run of the mill liberals are capable of understanding that “simply not as bad as Hitler” is a really lousy endorsement for Democratic standard-bearers
Sometimes I wonder if, in a parallel universe, you had an election between actual Adolph Hitler against, say, Kamala Harris, whether some of these folks would be able to make a decision to chose the non-Hitler candidate. Or be like “I’ll leave it up to my neighbors!”

Bluesky’s head of trust & safety responding with a sarcastic image macro to a woman upset her husband was kidnapped by ICE is embarrassingly unprofessional & cruel behavior.
that account was then banned by Bluesky Trust & Safety. horrendously poor community management. what purpose does this serve?

this gets to the fundamental lawlessness. the difference between law as a game and law as a tool of government.
birthright citizenship is the law. nothing has changed. the documents are the same. if that can change based on *nothing*, you don't have a real constitution in the first place.

There’s an elder abuse component to it for sure but also he SHOULD have gone to jail and is broadly getting everything he ever wanted. So I will go ahead and reserve the sympathy.
My opinions on what Trump is doing to this country, and Trump himself, are very clear. However, if the “3-5 months to live” guy is right, what they’re doing to him is elder abuse.
