NEW PIECE: Possibly the most shocking thing in the 30,000 pages of FOIAed Federal Reserve Board minutes I have come across is that the Fed nearly got rid of its own "emergency" powers- the core legal authority it used in 2008 and 2020- for trivial reasons crisesnotes.com/from-relic-to-…

Fox news is interviewing a presidential candidate I have never heard of "Vivek Ramaswamy" and he just infuriated me by saying "Managerial Industrial Complex". That is not anything!!! You either say "Military Industrial Complex" or "Professional Managerial Class". Gahhhh!!!!!

Nauseating how many Democrats are about to discover their commitment to international law and opposition to genocide now that they are no longer in power.

NEW from me for @JewishCurrents: Pro-Israel groups have remade Title VI of the Civil Rights Act into a tool of repression. A second Trump term will supercharge their crusade. jewishcurrents.org/civil-rights-l…

OK, this is really insane: apparently Channel 12 translated the whole sadistic propaganda piece themselves! Someone seriously thought that Ohad Hemo abusing and mocking Gazans for 20 minutes is "good Hasbara". Fucking psychos. Complete psychos.

"On October 7th you were happy, a year later, look around you" Channel 12's "Palestinian Affairs Correspondent" Ohad Hemo managed to produce one of the vilest propaganda TV pieces I've ever seen. He and the channel heavily promoted this article, which features Hemo, there with…

There are dozens, at this point maybe hundreds, of interviews in the UK and US that are just the most decorated pediatric surgeon you've ever seen sobbing about pulling rounds out of little girls' heads, & a host responding "So *does* or *does not* Israel have a right to exist?"

Wild that humanitarians in Gaza have to beg journalists to tell the truth. @NRC_Egeland: I’m amazed how journalists take one party in a very dirty war as a good source…There is a reason Israel is denying independent journalism in the world access to Gaza…We who are there…

Literally every single time a conservative brings up a program the federal government is giving a few million dollars to that sounds insane and you look into it and it’s something that’s extremely important.


I don't think anyone doubted that small-time Democrats could pivot and become important Trump republicans. That is not a shocking idea. The model is how any random person can become a right wing media star. I could have become a newsletter millionaire in 2021 doing that

The left won't admit it but RFK and Gabbard made gambles that worked out perfectly. Neither might get confirmed, but they went from going nowhere in the Democratic Party (Gabbard was ostracized, RFK was bound to lose badly to Biden) to getting nominated for major cabinet posts.

Biden's unwilling to engage with elected Dems on this issue at this date really confirms that he has a personal commitment to horrors in Gaza.

NEW: In a letter sent to Biden before election & made public now since there’s been no WH response, more than 80 Dem members of Congress press Biden admin to sanction members of Israeli Govt. for the rise in settler violence, etc., in the West Bank in his final weeks in office.

Nice review @jcaacostamacia I had a similar reaction to Hetzel's book. Particularly the "whiggish" history. Also the idea that 2020-2021 demand issues were about money supply rather than fiscal policy is quite amazing.

nothing has made me feel as crazy over the last year as watching people pretend to not know this

What the apologists don't know about and don't care is that the definitions of Genocide were designed as *warning signs* not autopsies. They didn't define it as millions dead or % killed to try to head off that definitionally impossible standard when the goal is prevention
