Please, I'm pro-Palestine, but don't follow me for money. Just don't. Also, no DMs EVER from men I don't know. I don't want to say "hi", or hear your music. Thank you.

Any @housedemocrats.bsky.social that votes for sanctioning the ICC is a fool of the highest order. Get your heads straight.

The International Criminal Court Prosecutor has sought arrest warrants against #Taliban leaders.

@bechamilton.bsky.social writes the announcement poses a dilemma to potential US sanctions against the Court, which could undermine its mandate and the rule of law.

Taliban Charges Show US Dilemma, Double Standards in Opposing International Criminal Court

The ICC’s mandate to pursue accountability for grave crimes applies regardless of whether alleged perpetrators are US allies or adversaries.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."

She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore, his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it.
Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath, if ever there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.

It's as if, or somewhat has the urgency of - protecting Jews from Hitler. I hope that's not too glib, we just can't normalize this.

Harry Dunn: "They're (the criminals) are seeking to go down in history, we're seeking to make sure history continues."
What a way with words.
I was a dispatcher for 30 yrs, and never heard radio traffic like that, that day. My best to all cops & all whom you hold dear, Harry.

It won't be good, Richard, if SCOTUS allows these clowns to damage the ACA. Your diagnosis is established, and you have supporting docs, one day at a time. Hold the line.

There are going to be more Capitol Police & DCMPD Suicides. I was a dispatcher 30 yrs and never heard anything like that radio on Jan 6. How can they be expected to do their duty at State of the Union addresses? These men and women have been tested beyond anything one could expect.

Perhaps the most famous quote in literary history. Even if you have never read Dickens, I am certain you heard or read the opening sentence to "A Tale Of Two Cities" someplace else.

I only dream of having writing brilliance like him.

What is your favorite literary quote?

Today is a great day to support BIPOC, LGBTQA+, Women, and Non-binary creatives.

Listen to their music.
Read their words.
Watch their movies.
Share their art.

There will be a concentrated effort to further marginalize their words and power in the coming years, so fight for them starting now.

As @jentaub.bsky.social says, the ADL is becoming a far right organization. Scholars of Nazi history has said this is a Nazi salute. Elon supports the Nazi party in Germany, the AFD.
