"June 8 marks 8 months of US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, and marks the 54th anniversary of the occupation of Gaza.
"Biden can’t draw the line, but we can.
"We demand an immediate ceasefire, an immediate end to the siege on Gaza, the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners, & an end to the occupation of Palestine."
• 272K jobs added in May

I get real sick of some of the purity-testing lefty bullshit on here and then I run into a buzzsaw of "you support GENOCIDE OF JEWS" comments elsewhere for supporting Biden's restraint of Netanyahu's government and it's like "oh yeah. It's all fucking terrible, now I remember. All the time. All of it."
I wasn't going to link to this here, but now I am, because what the commenter replied to isn't even primarily about Gaza, it's mostly about how you reward - or punish - politicians with the granting and removal of power.
Even so, just supporting Biden's restraint as an illustration was enough to get me accused of supporting genocide of Jews.
putin said to many news outlets that "Russia did not attack Ukraine, but defended itself" (TASS) I guess by invading Ukraine which somehow is not an attack. It's not even a good lie.
He also said "Former US President Donald Trump is being persecuted for political reasons, and this fact destroys Washington’s imaginary leadership in the sphere of democracy" (TASS). Mr. putin, is the imaginary leadership in the room with us?

“The word ‘prophet’ might bring to mind a Gandalf-like figure: long white beard, eyes that see into the spirit realm, etc. These Texas prophets don’t much resemble that image.“
UChicago students walked out of a graduation ceremony in protest...
after the university withheld diplomas from four graduating students who participated in a pro-Palestinian encampment.
“My diploma doesn’t matter when there are people in Palestine f in Gaza that will never walk a stage again, who will never receive a diploma. What about them? Who’s going to fight for them?” said one of the students affected.
