The genocidal war in Gaza is being jointly carried out by Israeli soldiers and US weapons suppliers. Either government could end it tomorrow.
-
George W Bush denounced Israel for leveling ONE apartment building. With a Hamas commander inside. I think about this all the time when Democrats say they can't do anything but help level hundreds more. x.com/CarwilBJ/status/1719442465856389232

#LifeGoals The Senate as currently constituted is a system of white minority rule. The Supreme Court needs to change dramatically. But statehood may not be the North Star of Puerto Rican decolonization and Dems need to listen harder to PR residents. x.com/sahilkapur/status/1829682908782854168

One more case where those claiming to follow the "median voter theorem" are insensitive to the actual preferences of the median voter. x.com/_waleedshahid/status/1829132798277320855
-
Another day when Western liberals agree that the right way to respond to white Europeans under occupation is sending weapons, while the right way to respond to Palestinians under occupation is to send tears of sympathy while shipping bombs to their occupiers.

I want a world where people who are voting for Harris (myself included) feel obligated to explain to Palestinians how we will push her to end the genocide, rather than a world where people devastated by genocide are pressured for using their ballot express moral indignation.

Really well done thread on nuclear deaths estimation (with some corrections by the author at the end) x.com/wrong_shon/status/1827948140500025487

Republicans are worse than pre-2020 on vaccines. Democrats are worse than pre-2020 on masks. All this despite both interventions likely saving millions of American lives. x.com/MsJulieSLam/status/1827895753676640734

The DNC was a test run of a large, enclosed, maskless event of its size in Year 5 of COVID. Result: many infections. Ironically, per DNC rules, non-disabled attendees could be asked to take their masks off. x.com/LauraMiers/status/1827721797304832470

Israeli strikes on Lebanon have outnumbered Lebanese strikes on Israel 7,745 to 1,724, a ratio of 4.5x since October 8. Recent Hezbollah escalation is still outnumbered by 3.5x. Only in two countries does such a pattern get framed around "Israel defending itself." x.com/BeirutUrbanLab/status/1826619481407586680

The young African American speaking at this morning's Uncommitted Movement press conference noted, "The first three words of the Black national anthem are, 'Lift Every Voice'; what about Palestinian voices?" x.com/i/broadcasts/1lPKqOPOooZJb

Ten months of alienating committed Democratic organizers and community leaders. It's vital that Harris break with Netanyahu and the administration bring the war to a halt. x.com/aayoub/status/1714845070405333384

If you're just seeing the surface of the @uncommitedmvmt sit-in, it's worth listening at length to @AZAlawieh and his insider-strategy efforts to sway the Democratic party right up to a personal breaking point. x.com/aaforprogress/status/1826432039869980900

Not even being willing to listen to Palestinians. Not giving them the microphone. Well, it strikes a particular nerve. It echoes too much. x.com/AdalahJustice/status/1826441862497894740

Before the end of the night, there will be Democrats claiming that sit-ins are not the right way to get your voice heard, even when most voters agree with you. Please remind them of this: theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/22/house-democrats-stage-sit-vote-gun-control

"Our government policy is to kill people like me. … I remember what the bombing feels like." x.com/aaforprogress/status/1826432039869980900

👀 “In his own speech, [Van] Jones had railed against those pro-Palestinian activists, pejoratively referring to them as 'so-called protesters.'” x.com/sunraysunray/status/1826306244337938854

Co-sign this whole thread. Remarkable similarity to 1968, when stopping the Vietnam war wasn't a viable option on the presidential ballot x.com/MonicaLMarks/status/1825961046148001857

As it's syllabus writing season again, here's my informed take on why students should *not* use large language models for social science writing. I took the time to try prompt engineering in response to my own assignments, and it led nowhere good. woborders.blog/2023/08/23/why-im-banning-ai/

The Guardian reporting on Venezuelan elections… —Opposition planned and organized 1000s of volunteers to amass vote receipts —Plan worked despite intimidation —Multiple confirmations that tallies are plausible, consistent, properly counted theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/10/gonzalez-proof-win-venezuela-election-vote-tally-maduro

The @democracynow discussion on Venezuela's election was a useful discussion. A couple comments… x.com/AleVelascoNYU/status/1823348511556968847

The abstract facts of the destruction of Gaza in two maps. Everyone should read and remember this. x.com/provisionalidea/status/1822393069506830564

With the Venezuelan election looming, Latin America's most powerful elected leftist Lula da Silva said: “Cuando pierdes, te vas [When you lose, you leave.]” This article is the best English translation of that advice: thenation.com/article/world/venezuela-maduro-left/

Tomato roundabout planned for Five Points in East Nashville. x.com/UrbanEastNash/status/1821688146075250897

There's a line of argument saying that picking Shapiro was mathematically/electorally strategic (argued here)… This is valid only if defeating Trump is Dems' only strategic goal. Actually passing legislation requires more than 271 EV, and an energized coalition. x.com/DudleyNYC/status/1820941287677214831

Okay, a bit about the electoral receipts (actas) in circulation in the Venezuelan election… These documents are designed to be easy to record and copy, annoying to alter, and checkable against other copies. x.com/GregEqEd/status/1820196173963223441
