The idea that executive power needs to be checked by the legislative branch in order to push the country in a more pro-war direction, that the voting public absolutely does not want whether Republican or Democrat, is deeply ironic and perverse. I don't think the Founding Fathers intended for this situation to appear. It's sort of a 'reductio ad absurdum' of our political system.

pictures aren't as compelling as photos? What are you talking about?

There's also the images of Ward Jalal al-Sheikh Khalil directly in the article itself. She wasn't killed, but everyone else around her including her mother and two siblings died in the flames...

you've never heard of Medium? It's a blog site, like Substack.

In some ways it's too late. The present moment is not the moment when using the Holocaust to justify occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing became evil. It's been evil for the past 80 years. The present is just when it has become politically untenable.

The plan would raise $20 million from Democratic donors, which the project’s leadership has reportedly already begun to collect, to study the “syntax, language, and content” that’s popular among young men in online spaces, then develop content that spreads an “aspirational vision of manhood that aligns with Democratic values without alienating other core constituencies” and partner with influencers.

These people are fucking aliens.

Hamas’s draft reintroduces terms from a deal that Hamas said it made with Witkoff on May 25. Israel rejected that document and four days later, on May 29, Witkoff and Israel announced new terms, which would permit Israel to resume its genocidal war after 60 days and to keep its forces entrenched deep inside Gaza. It contained no guarantees for allowing the unrestricted flow of food, medicine, fuel and other life essentials to the Gaza Strip.

In a post on X Saturday, soon after he received Hamas’s response, Witkoff denounced Hamas’s draft. “It is totally unacceptable and only takes us backward. Hamas should accept the framework proposal we put forward as the basis for proximity talks, which we can begin immediately this coming week,” Witkoff wrote. “That is the only way we can close a 60-day ceasefire deal in the coming days… and in which we can have at the proximity talks substantive negotiations in good-faith to try to reach a permanent ceasefire.”

Senior Hamas official Basem Naim disputed Witkoff’s characterization. “We did not reject Mr. Witkoff’s proposal. We agreed with him on a proposal, which he deemed acceptable for negotiation. We then received the other party's response (the Israelis) through Mr. Witkoff, which rejected all that we had agreed upon with him,” Naim told Drop Site. “Nevertheless, we responded positively and responsibly, responding to him in a manner that fulfilled the aspirations and demands of our people. Why is the Israeli response considered the only response for negotiation? This violates the integrity and fairness of mediation and constitutes a complete bias towards the other side.”

Rep. Massie's comments should certainly be considered a bare minimum, if that!

"I disagree with your version of Christianity if it requires endorsing the deaths of women and children on the behalf of any country"
