Holy shit, they are conceding on aid, which as he notes Netanyahu has already signaled, in order to preserve arms sales, and capture numerous progressive Dems along the way. The litmus test is switching from ending aid to sanctions and an arms embargo including Iron Dome.
I bet she will be very happy at the Central Park party!

Mondoweiss screenshot: Political consultant Peter Feld told Mondoweiss that the issue of military aid will inevitably emerge as another Israel-related issue that candidates will have to adapt to. “Ending any and all aid to Israel will be the absolute litmus test,” said Feld. “AIPAC is hated but everyone knows they aren’t the whole story. Thanks to Iran, the Israel issue is getting away from the Democratic establishment a lot faster than they realize.”

I too support *any* avenue to remove Trump from office. Let's think outside the box!

I was going to write today, but until we know more, I don't have any new words for this moment. What I will say is that if you are reeling, and you know you want to be part of making things better, Mariame Kaba and I wrote a book for you. I hope it helps.
A classic Charles Barsotti cartoon from The New Yorker: Outline drawing of a large ziti answering a touchtone phone exclaiming "Fusilli, you crazy bastard! How the hell are you?"
He's giving ziti.
An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.
pretty much disproves that the CIA whacked JFK.

File that under never but it would be an improvement.

Obama was 8 years of unbroken neoliberalism, with and w/o a supermajority. Then in 2016 Dems offered a return to Clinton neoliberalism. Bush dabbled too: no child left behind, passed like his tax cuts for the rich and war on Iraq with Dem votes.
Representation matters.
Neoliberalism paves the way for fascism though. 1998 led to 2016 in under two decades.
There was a great Chapo riff about how the marines must feel like a 15-year-old golden retriever that’s excited about everyone being so nice this week and letting it sit on the furniture
Partition undermines your point. It's failed for 90 years, few genuinely want it, and it would lock in Zionist rule over most of Palestine. A single Palestinian state is the ultimate outcome, closer as a result of this war.
Intro 175-B, up for a vote in the NYC Council today, is an attack on labor organizing at educational institutions.
My union at Columbia University would've struggled to win our strong contract under this law.
NYC is a union town. Act like it.
The Court was always going to make sure Trump wins the midterms. They will likewise bless his reelection in 2028.

Anyone who makes the "offensive/defensive" aid distinction needs to be quickly canceled.
There is no difference between pro-Israel groups. They all support genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and Jewish supremacy, because those are the Zionist principles that Israel was founded upon. J Street just launders money for AIPAC and keeps the Democratic Party funding genocide.
Trump really got into this war with no Hegseth strategy.
