I think even if you're very pro-Israel, drawing a "red line" against attacking Rafah is sane, and it's the stated policy of the Biden administration

It remains to be seen what will happen once that line is crossed (as it has been): will the Biden administration pretend it never existed? Will crossing the "red line" have any consequences whatsoever for Netanyahu?

If the answer is "no": then you don't really have much real evidence that a future America under Biden will be measurably better for minorities than Project 2025.

This would seem like an easy opportunity for Biden to earn back some of the political capital he's lost with his base, and yet we've got radio silence from the president and liberals running counter-messaging

Why would the octogenarian President of the United States be reluctant to halt a US-funded genocide in the middle east

Could it be it's because he's a fucking racist? Like we've been saying since 2016?

Covert white supremacy is not less dangerous than overt white supremacy: it's slower but much harder to stop

@tmstreet Exactly: choosing to go against the politics and the morality now is nothing less than a principled stand in favor of genocide.

I'm going to continue to insist that one of the richest men ever to live, and a critical US Defense contractor, literally being in the business of mainlining and spreading Nazism is a bigger issue than anything being chanted on any college campus. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/05/i-read-everything-elon-musk-posted-for-a-week-send-help/

@lolgop "Bigger than anything being chanted out on college campuses"?

By definition it isn't, and this is incredibly disrespectful and unnecessary

"Also an important topic"? Yes
"A topic lolgop wants to talk about"? Yes
"Bigger than anything being chanted on any college campus"
Do you respect the chanters? Do you value their contributions? Do you think their protest is important? Maybe don't casually throw them under the bus to promote a different story

@nlpbot @lolgop If that's what he was trying to say*, he didn't say that. If that's what he was trying to say*, I don't think that's a "misread" at all: I think that's bad writing

*which is a real big if, given

@nlpbot @lolgop I'm over-reacting, and yet here you are just spitting out every possible excuse for why I'm supposed to think it means anything other than what he wrote

Fuck off, troll

@nlpbot @lolgop

Who's adding things? You have to imagine it must have meant something other than what he wrote in order to even talk to me

Yeah I'm thinking "every possible excuse" is in your toolbag, tool bag.

General Reminder To My Generation:

the way 00s emo and alternative bands describe relationships and love is generally not ideal, it's more like the opposite of ideal, that was kind of the whole genre was ideals of anti-idealism

Do you remember a couple weeks into the invasion when IDF commanders explained that leveling whole blocks with bunker busters had to do logistical support and urban planning

@bikepedantic "our rapid authoritarian creep is intended to prevent the authoritarianism of national democrats" Indiana lawmakers are reading from the same playbook

"Let's pretend to be busy for three hours while right-wing militants assault the encampment and then show up to arrest their victims" is really only a couple steps away from the IDF's West Bank playbook

(Which is "let's guard the criminals' flanks and make sure nothing happens to them while they assault the encampment")

I mean of course masks work but do you remember social distancing

I'm not saying isolation is great but abstaining from social contact is clearly superior in terms of reducing infection risk

“dissent must never lead to disorder.”

lmao jk that was Joe Biden on the student protests.

@peter Even if you accept the premise ("never"), this is peak gas-lighting

The institutional response has been disorderly, not the protests
