THREAD. One of the moments that changed my career was my first day as a public defender in D.C.'s juvenile court. When I walked into the courtroom, which is closed to the public, all the little children were fully shackled in metal chains on their wrists, waists, and feet.
Copaganda: How police and the media manipulate our news
I just received the galley copies for proof-reading. The book will be out in a few months, will all royalties donated to charity. It's the culmination of years of dangerous work corrupting my mind reading things like the New York Times. Hopefully I'll see you at a book event near you in the spring.

Israel has just bombed another school that 4,000 people are using as a shelter - killing at least 35 innocent civilians including children. This is not a war. This is a genocide.
Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law. Period

Rafah | Rafah’s water reservoir blown up
Israeli soldier from the combat engineering corps sharing footage on his personal account blowing Rafah’s water reservoir in Tel Sultan neighborhood “in honor of Shabbat” as he describes it.
There are zero good reasons for the US to be arming, funding and shielding these atrocities. Anyone who thinks this is good for the United States in any way (including leftists who think this is the all-important structural lynchpin of Washingtonian empire yadda yadda) is nuts

“Nobody with any sanity, including myself, would have anything but sympathy for the Palestinian plight. There’s not a sane person on earth who in any way sanctions what the f*** the Israeli authorities are doing.”

So I am in New Haven. I teach at Yale. I’ve seen the protests here. I’ve also been in demonstrations from New York City to South Africa over the years. 1/
Georgia plans to execute a man tonight.
There’s so much wrong with his conviction and sentence, it’s hard to know where to begin.
But from @lilianasegura.bsky.social’s story, we could start with here, with the awful lawyer who was supposed to defend him.

This is pretty shocking. Anne Neuberger, who sits on @JoeBiden's national security council as deputy national security advisor, is married to an AIPAC board member who is actively lobbying Senators. #israel #gaza #genocide #biden #blinken #famine #icj #icc #zionism #likud
By me: When the Holocaust is used to justify defiance of humanitarian law, it is being “hijacked,” as Jonathan Glazer said. Enforcing international legal provisions enacted to prevent events like the Holocaust is an appropriate way to honor its memory. www.thenation.com/article/worl...
Forget about Kate have you seen Amal? She has gone missing since the 7th of October. Not one word on Gaza genocide via her @ClooneyFDN has anyone seen her????? #helpfindAmal #clooneyfoundation

Abortion pills are a big reason why, despite abortion bans, the number of abortions is rising—and antis are pissed. Some context ahead of the Supreme Court hearing in a sham lawsuit next week:

nitter.poast.org/RDunhamDP/st... The @Independent covers the clemency application of Willie Pye, scheduled to be executed tomorrow in Georgia, prioritizing the details of his last meal over the fact that he is intellectually disabled and was represented by incompetent, racist counsel.

nitter.poast.org/HeerJeet/sta... So @mattyglesias thinks the solution to Gaza is for the Palestinians to just accept the second Nakba and become, for the second time for Gazans, refugees.
Was a Bundy involved?

😔At the start of this year, the Israeli army killed Mohammed and Ibrahim, the beloved sons of my dear friend Mazen Tatar. They were slain before his very eyes, yet Mazen remained steadfast in Nusseirat, attempting to lay them to rest. However, he was later detained by the Israeli forces.

Any journalist who still treats claims by Israeli gov or army as credible is simply not serious. Israeli officials have repeatedly pushed lies debunked & exposed every time. If you’re still accepting their claims as fact then you’re complicit in justifying genocide
nitter.poast.org/glcarlstrom/... The Gaza pier plan gets ever more shambolic. Israel wants to hire "international private security contractors" to protect it, with someone else footing the bill: "The Israelis also brought up having other countries pay the hefty costs of the contractors."

Every single day you watch a video that stops your heart. Every day.
Eventually, Biden pretended he was shocked that the streets were littered with mangled bodies. similar to what has done with Netanyahu. He armed him blocked the UN Security Council from doing anything by vetoing ceasefire resolution after resolution. armed him some more. He spread lies about babies
nitter.poast.org/zei_squirrel... btw this is why Ben Shapiro, Bari Weiss, Bill Maher are all very comfortable with Trump winning. Because he's a Zionist maniac like Biden. They know that their core fundamental issue, their precious genocidal Israeli regime, will remain fully supported no matter what
