BREAKING: The White House halted a large shipment of offensive weapons to Israel last week, as the IDF ramped up for a ground invasion of Rafah, according to two senior administration officials familiar with the decision.
Don’t get it twisted. You may be unhappy with the response of this administration to Netanyahu’s tactics, as have I, but this is the actual world. And this is progress. If Donald Trump were president, Gaza would be razed and fully occupied by now.

This #WorldPressFreedomDay, @mariaressa's words underscore the urgent need to protect the information ecosystem. “2024 is a year where if we do not get the right solutions in place globally for a very corrupted information ecosystem, we will not have the integrity of elections.”

Many domestic groups and foreign states have an interest in stoking domestic divisions in the US. They will love the sight of hundreds of police in riot gear on campuses. Shouldn't the police role be to weed out the outside infiltrators, protect our students, and deescalate?
Yes! THIS:
Riot #police are leaving Rustaveli Avenue after a tumultuous night marked with inexplicable police violence in the face of fully peaceful protest. Estimated tens of arrests were made. After this violent night, though, thousands of protesters are still standing. They feel they…
Tens of thousands of Georgians defending democratic values & European future as the ruling party drags the country closer Russia. We know the luxury of independent institutions, free speech and elections. Georgia was the first nation to die for its Euro-Atlantic future in 2008.
As of May 1, FL's six-week abortion ban will be imposed. Access to accurate info could literally change the course of someone's life. We must vote Yes on 4 in November to END this near-total abortion ban AND share resources for all who may need to access an abortion this year.

Louisiana lawmakers voted Thursday to remove lunch breaks for child workers. At the state level, Republicans have led the efforts to roll back child protections. 16 states thus far. Republicans do not care about children beyond the womb. Much less if they are fed. #ProudBlue

To the people on the left getting psyopped into not voting for Joe Biden, you are being manipulated into teaming up with this piece of shit. This is a cold civil war where one side is preparing for mass violence & the other is stuck in their feels. Knock it the FUCK off.

One thing I found researching Shadow Network was that you shouldn’t necessarily trust Sunday School teachers.

Speaking of selective attention, some elected representatives voted against the antisemitism bill not on first amendment grounds but because it might stop them from saying “Jews killed Christ”? Seems a tad bit more notable than young protesters ignorance of details of a region.
Young protesters aren’t always the most accurate, or knowledgeable about the history or details of a region. Who among us was? But young people do have a superpower: they can smell hypocrisy from a mile away. They believe the ideals we state, and then see what we actually do.
If people are condemning students protesting a war for being ignorant about terrible policies of Hamas or Hezbollah on women and gays, it stands to reason that OFFICIAL massive support for terrible policies of our closest allies should be a higher priority for our attention, no?
@zeynep What does this have to do with a critique of protests?
This is indeed terrible, and secular Palestinians have been brutally suppressed by Hamas during the era Netanyahu propped it up to further his political calculations. Now do Saudi Arabia. Why are women and gay rights only remembered when it’s time to bomb people?
“In the case of homosexuality … they shall be killed” And as he makes clear, without exception
