I went deep on the IDF vet who begged Columbia for a safe space—“Please help me, I cannot continue to bear witness to all of this”—and dug into his time in the Israeli army. Link in next tweet.
I'm digging through one of the Columbia student antisemitism cases and found an IDF vet (Rubin) who says he fled campus because anti-Zionist stickers, pro-Palestine chants, and people saying Israel bombs hospitals made him feel unsafe
a lot of these digs are funny and true but it remains very strange to continue acting like Biden wasn’t dying before our eyes
Hunter Biden just went off on the Democratic Party: "Fuck him and everybody around him... George Clooney is not a fucking an actor. He's a brand." "James Carville hasn't won a race in 40 fucking years." "David Axelrod had one success in his political life and that was Barack…

If you set a movie theater on fire and lock all the exits, that does not highlight the danger of going to the movies.
We demand that you lift the ban on Palestine Action. Our government is actively involved in a genocide. The UK government is using anti-terror laws to silence people who are taking action against this genocide. Sign up at wedonotcomply.org for a mass-action on August 9th.
