The MAGA leaders still haven't quite realized what kind of base they have created/emboldened/incited. Talk about Frankenstein and monsters.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism

And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia.

It’s really that simple.

(So many shameless hypocrites around.)

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it.

This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

US vetoes UN ceasefire for Gaza sixth time, blind to 65,141 Palestinian dead while shielding Israel's unchecked fury. World isolates the outlier; even allies eye Palestinian statehood. Hypocrisy's throne crumbles. #Gaza

I love how rightwingers keep saying you can’t recognize a Palestinian state because it doesn’t even have any agreed-upon borders.

Erm, are they aware that Israel is one of the only countries in the world that refuses to define its own borders?
