Shame on the Israeli Parliament for passing laws stripping their courts of power to block government decisions. This anti-democratic action sends the country down a dark path, indeed.

@georgetakei It’s a preview of what’s coming in the US if the GOP gets its way. Under a fig leaf of words like “judicial reform”, our freedoms will be stripped away.

It’s also a preview of the kind of energy needed to RESIST. Months of mass demonstrations were not enough to stop a four-vote majority from ramming this through. Meaning — more resistance is needed. More than America has ever demonstrated in living memory.

@georgetakei @idan in a very real sense America has not shaken the shackles of #slavery. Just the subjects have changed, slightly.
