So many people adamantly denied this was happening even after the debate. Living in denial gets us nowhere.

I have an idea. Why don't we nominate a guy to head Health and Human Services and oversee the FDA who believes EVERYONE should drink raw milk ALL THE TIME and will have the power to fuck up the system???

UN continues to face aid access denials in Gaza

It does not matter if the majority of Israelis want to continue "prosecuting the war." The majority of Germans supported the Holocaust at the time. Genocide is not a matter of public opinion. It's a crime.

But in the midst of a genocide which this and other atrocity porn was used to foment, this may be the worst.

We are in deep trouble,

This is truly astounding. He's a fucking investigative reporter for @NYTimes. I oversaw many investigative pieces while running Rewire News, and EVIDENCE was the OPERATIVE WORD AND PRINCIPLE. Multiple fact checks, Multiple reviews.

Today the "investigative reporter" for @nytimes stated that he did not use "evidence" to report the story on rapes in Israel. This was obvious at the time because there were so many inconsistencies in the whole set of claims and also, btw, nobody ever told the parents of the people who they claimed were raped that their kids were raped. just told the NYT so parents could find out about these claims in the press. I've seen a lot of disgraceful shit at this point in my life...

Bet he wasn’t expecting this response.

Apparently Biden is trying hard to get America dragged in front of the ICJ.

"The Biden administration is quietly providing intelligence to Israel for targeting purposes, deploying U.S. Air Force “intelligence engagement officers on the ground” in Tel Aviv, according to a deployment order obtained under FOIA."

Biden Secretly Giving Targeting Support to Israel Amid Genocide Case

Why do we have to rely on FOIA to piece together our government's foreign policy??
