A reminder from October:

Israel was warned by foreign intelligence before Oct. 7 terrorist attack and massacre.

“Netanyahu denied receiving any such advance warning, saying in the course of an address to the nation Monday night that the story was “fake news.””

We should not lose sight of this.

“U.N. says ‘famine is imminent’ in northern Gaza as Israel launches another raid on the main hospital

The U.N. food agency said Monday that “famine is imminent” in northern Gaza, where 70% of the remaining population is experiencing catastrophic hunger.

…

The European Union’s top diplomat said the impending famine was “entirely man-made” as “starvation is used as a weapon of war.””

An invoice reviewed by The Post showed his work was extensive. It included analyzing more than 21 million voter records, reviewing voter data from five swing states…

more work was conducted by another expert firm that was paid more than $1 million. When its work also did not prove fraud, it also was not made public, The Post reported.“

““Israeli” right-wing extremist and Heritage Minister, Amihai Eliyahu, called on Friday to “wipe out” the month of Ramadan, adding that “our fear of this month must also be wiped out.” …

Eliyahu, who is part of the “Jewish Power” right-wing and anti-arab fascist party, previously stated in November that “dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza is one of the options.”

He further claimed there are “no civilians in Gaza” and rejected the entry of aid completely into the Strip.”

“Some within the party—the Christian nationalists—seem like they would be satisfied with banning same-sex marriage, abortion, and forcing media companies to run their religious propaganda. But the most extreme set—who can properly be called —will not be satisfied until LGBTQ people are locked up, Muslims are deported and banned, and women are prohibited from having any social or sexual autonomy.“

The number of people who believe - and unabashedly say, publicly, - “the murder of these people is okay because those other people were murdered first” is unbelievably astounding, and scary as hell.

PS - If you’re thinking of coming into my replies to justify the collective punishment and mass starvation of an entire population forcibly displaced and corralled into inhumane conditions by a state military offensive, one million humans of which are children, ONE MILLION CHILDREN, don’t.

Reproductive choice under attack, and more generally, the right to be free of interference by others in the most private decisions.

Republicans, who straight faced call themselves “conservatives”, increasingly are demanding, and trying to force, the State between you and your doctor. (Also the Canadian CPC party, aligned in intent just less effective so far).

Abortion is a issue. Trans rights, same issue.

2024 is a fight for , alright, be loud.

Using all the buzz words polls must be telling Trump are bad for him, Trump labels Pres Biden with all the things he, Trump, is, including this doozy:

“Joe [Biden] and his henchmen have you trapped and it’s an express train barreling toward servitude and to ruin – it’s moving at a speed that Joe doesn’t understand because Joe ... I don’t think he knows what the hell’s going on, to be honest with you, but he’s surrounded by some very bad fascists.”

Yes, he said that.

@VeryBadLlama It’s reprehensible and inexcusable how true, and how often, this is exactly accurate. Exponentially worse when the missing daughter is not Caucasian.

“Poilievre has played many different roles during his career — from political attack dog for Stephen Harper to champion of “freedom loving” trucker convoys — and because many of his past views and actions have been disturbing, if not outright dangerous.

…would Poilievre still embrace the controversial use of bitcoin, which he has in the past? Would he still march with anarchistic truckers blocking streets and highways? Would he ignore medical experts…”

“Since his defeat in Canada’s 2015 federal election, Harper has taken a role chairing the Munich-based IDU, an alliance of conservative parties across the world.

The IDU’s members include the Conservative Party of Canada, the US Republican Party, the UK Tories, Germany’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU), India’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and others – including Orbán’s Fidesz Party in Hungary.“
