Me? I believe fascism is already here and it started long before Trump.

If you honestly believe that fascism hangs in the balance in the November presidential election, then you should be volunteering to canvas door-to-door, to phone bank, to stuff envelopes; anything to GOTV for Biden. Venting your spleen on social media at those who won’t vote for Biden seems like smug self-indulgence if you aren’t walking the walk.

If the broken beautiful pier isn’t a metaphor for #US foreign policy I don’t know what is.

“Despite efforts by #Biden and Congressional leaders to assert that the #ICC has some kind of anti-#Israel bias, nearly every leader ever prosecuted by the ICC prior to 2023 has been African, including presidents of Liberia, Libya and Sudan. #Netanyahu and Gallant would be the first US-allied leaders ever indicted by the ICC.

It appears, then, that in Washington’s view, international humanitarian law should only apply to leaders not supported by the #UnitedStates”

#Congress serves the wealthy.

“It’s not as if America’s rich and famous haven’t been lobbying for this to happen …. Taylor Swift …has been dogged by complaints about her incessant air travel … thanks to Sweeney’s flight monitoring efforts. Sweeney … compiled a video of Swift’s 2023 plane trips … to show that the pop star had flown 178,000 miles … roughly the equivalent of seven trips around the Earth …. tarnishing a public image … tightly protected and controlled. ” https://gizmodo.com/congress-just-made-it-way-harder-to-track-taylor-swift-1851492383

We’re in hell.

“Eyewitnesses said Israeli forces were shooting indiscriminately at any Palestinian who moved in their vicinity, including people in their cars and families who went to pick up their children from school ….

Two boys, Osama Abu Hajeer, 16, and Mahmoud Hamadneh, 15, were killed as they were leaving their school. One of them was riding a bicycle when he was shot …. Allam Jaradat, 48, a teacher, was shot dead in his vehicle as he was also leaving the school”

This seems big and newsworthy.

“‘#France supports the International Criminal Court, its independence and the fight against impunity in all situations,’ the foreign ministry said in a statement late on Monday.
While U.S. President Joe #Biden called the legal step against Israeli officials ‘outrageous’, the French foreign ministry took a different stance.” #ICC

University of #Michigan president calls in #police to end campus encampment 2 days before he testifies to #Congress on pro-#Palestine encampments at universities. These college administrators are terrible at hiding their fear of #GOP fascists:

“Officers from the university’s Division of Public Safety and Security dressed in riot gear were on scene to sweep the 50-person encampment as early as 5:45 a.m., May 21”

#Biden cannot even unite his own party.

A senior strategist to #Democrats tweets:

micchiato, 6 days ago to Palestine

“White nationalists and neo-Nazis joined forces with Zionists (including some saying they were Israelis) to attack #UCLA’s #Palestine Solidarity Encampment, whose residents included a large number of Jewish students. The assailants were not affiliated with the university. One neo-Nazi was heard shouting, ‘we’re here to finish what Hitler started,’ without any apparent protest from the self-identified Zionists.”
