Refaat Al Areer @itranslate123 was murdered 6 months ago. #restInPower. Here's the interview @aaronjmate and I did with him on @UsefulIdiotpod with @yumna_patel & @muhammadshehad2. I asked him about his children here.

No, Jon, I didn’t make up the definition. Someone named Raphael Lemkin did. There’s also a legal definition of the term. I feel bad trying to talk to someone like you about this bc it means you’re going to have to bother a smart friend who can translate this for you. So let’s

start with a short for you to watch with long time Human Rights lawyer and former UN official @CraigMokhiber explaining why Israel is committing genocide. I think your brain can absorb it because it’s one minute. Next let’s have you take a look at…youtube.com/shorts/BaIsPhT…

Don't let people say criticizing Israel & standing w/ Palestinians is antisemitic. For many Jews, it's central to our Jewish identity. Conflating support for Israel w/ being Jewish is an antisemitic trope. I Stand w/ these Jews (on this issue) & you can too. Please add more (1/?) Let's start with orgs like the Israeli human rights group @btselem, and U.S. based Jewish Voice For Peace @jvplive, @IfNotNowOrg, and NYC's @JFREJNYC. Plus @mikopeled @normfinkelstein @gabrielwinant @bethavemiller @gideonle @DrGaborMate @aaronjmate @norabf @NathanTankus (2/?)

It’s great that @NomikiKonst has endorsed @Gonzalez4NY but it would be helpful if Konst tweeted about it so her supporters knew to vote for Gonzalez. Elizabeth Crowley is a corporate Dem (like her cousin Joe) and must be defeated. 1/

THREAD: It's time for 'Democratic Strategists' & failed Hillary Clinton campaigners to admit they had ONE JOB & THEY cost Hillary the election. But they're so entitled & coddled they don't realize how transparent their self-exonerating opportunism is so they blame Bernie, who

Dear @MountSinaiNYC: my primary care provider recently moved to another state & I'm trying to find another & a gynecologist so I can schedule my regular checkups. I've been on the phone w/ you for two days and have been on your website as well unable to get anywhere. Each time I call I'm put on hold and asked to respond to a survey. Each time I respond to the survey honestly (by disagreeing with the statement that the phone call has been helpful) I get hung up on, which proves my thesis quite nicely. Each time I call or attempt to use your site I take

Debra Messing is a Holocaust Denier. Pass it on. Mark Ruffalo says a genocide is a genocide and has to apologize. Debra Messing denies that ethnic cleansing occurred despite the fact that it has been documented by Israeli Jewish historians. Let's talk about where she's getting the infographics she's getting. Hen Mazzig

Unlike Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton actually elevates toxic, abusive, antisemitic online behavior. And yet she has the audacity to talk about Bernie Bros? The woman she tweets here tweeted out a list of "progressives" who may go through some things pretty soon... " 1/

https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/1384208264909365252

When people responded, she played the victim, as if she weren't engaged in the exact "toxic" & "abusive" behavior she & #khive project onto Sanders supporters. But she's mild compared to other trolls Hillary has elevated, thanked, corresponded with & had her photo taken with 2/

Neera Tanden is a mean girl bully who signal boosts, hangs out with and is friends with people who call young girls with Down Syndrome "sluts," call Bernie Sanders a "fake fucking Jew," and call Muslim-American women terrorists. It's also worth noting that she punched her subordinate in the chest. She cites growing up in Section 8 Housing as qualifying "lived experience," which it would be if it inspired her to fight *for* the programs from which she benefited. But she weaponizes it to fight *against*...

dangerous. And there are times for lines in the sand. And different people play different roles and have different lanes. And there has been demonization, mischaracterization and divisiveness that we really can't afford right now. I know I'm supposed to craft the perfect tweet... and until then lay low or whatever but I don't care. And I know that this is just twitter and people are dying and who cares about the online Left or the media Left when people are dying. But these things have real life effects. So I say this while knowing that I exist in a...

Hi Left media: a lot of us disagree on stuff & have been fighting with each other but I think we can all either pause that or, if necessary, do that while talking about Julian Assange being given what amounts to a death sentence right now. Because that's really not civil. #FreeAssange. Who's with me? Speaking of which, shout out to the literal handful of journalists who have been covering this story. I had excellent journalists on my show to talk about this but I should have had an update on the case every week, honestly, looking back. Please...

Thanks! This sounds like something that needs to be pushed for at the same time. But in the midst of a pandemic #MedicareForAll is uniquely useful as a tool of political theater. People dismiss #ForceTheVote as 'performative' as if that's a weakness...

This is such an important point & it needs to be said again & again because it applies especially to people who aren't already in the movement. Many people who already are in the movement either professionally or out of political commitment may not need the enjoyment factor as...

Here's a list of phrases or words, which are either utterly irrelevant or actual lies, which centrists use against people on the Left bc they can't engage in any substantive critique:
"You're a trust fund kid"
"You're MAGA"
"You throw People of Color Under The Bus" (which... ... they absolutely never have single thing to point to.)
"You went to private school!"
"You're a failed [insert job or hobby]"
"you're a white Bernie Bro"
if pointed out that the person isn't even white or a man, the response will be either silence or some weird...

Because I don’t lie about Selena, I don’t have to block her but we were indeed at a baby shower for a mutual friend. We had a nice chat & I, bc I’m a sentient human being, was aware we had been in twitter fights over politics. I assumed she knew that too & during the convo... I made some conciliatory off hand comment along the lines of “it’s nice that two people can fight online but get a long in person. Online can be so toxic.” But she didn’t realize who I was, which is fine, I just wished I hadn’t wasted time referring to our twitter beefs. I...

You work for Scooter Libby, former Dick Cheney advisor, who went to jail for outing a CIA agent to get back at her husband for saying Saddam Hussein didn't have WMDs. He was pardoned by Trump. The think tank you work at was founded by the inspiration for Dr. StrangeLove...

I thought you were a standard issue liberal interventionist. I didn't know you were an actual neocon. To be fair, you hide the fact that you work for the Hudson Institute but you list the Kleptocracy project which they run. I almost admire your willingness to talk about anyone...

Huge shout out to the toxic Blue Check Establishment white bros who cosplay as male feminist anti-racist allies, hold Bernie responsible for every single no-name rando "toxic" bro & smear women/women of color without tagging us bc they're as brave as their photos suggest. But really, I'm grateful that Casey took the time to tune into my stream.

If you take human rights seriously, & aren't just red-baiting, I'm sure you'll ask Rep. Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks about his support for Colombian death squads. Did Cuba mistreat LGBTQ people? Yes. Did the United States? Does Cuba still mistreat LGBTQ people? Does Colombia? Which...

I think the Left should expose how evil The Lincoln Project & some of Biden's potential cabinet picks are. AND help Osoff & Warnock defeat their odious opponents in Georgia's senate races. Biden would like nothing more to be able to pretend that his refusal to push popular... policies is because of gridlock & opposition. We need to deprive him of as much cover as possible. Also, @ossoff & Warnack @ReverendWarnock are running against 2 evil Republicans. Regardless of whether you believe in a third party or want to reform The Dems this is a good move...

Dear @BernieSanders @SenSanders: I’m pretty ride or die. Please endorse Alex Morse @AlexBMorse. It’s the right thing to do & no matter what, you’ll be on the right side of history. Not only is he a young progressive who grew up in poverty, made it but hasn’t turned his back on... his family & community; not only did his brother, who died from an overdose this year, struggle with addiction; not only did his mother, who died 2 years ago at 56, struggle with mental illness; but he has fought for these issues & people like his mother & brother & many other...

Misleading reporting from @PaddyJ1325 @masslivenews. The story isn't about Morse's "conduct" but the conduct of the MA Dem Party which tried to destroy evidence of the smear campaign & hit job they coordinated against the candidate. Most people don't read past headlines but... but the article doesn't even mention the fact that Morse was never even accused of having a relationship with his own student. It's just shameful innuendo, which relies on homophobia and the fact that people don't read entire articles. Somehow, while they mention investigation...
