Sen. @tedcruz (R-TX) says that if U.S. Sen. candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) is elected into the Senate and is placed in the Senate Intelligence Committee, "there is a very real risk that Americans will die as a result."

western chauvinism is crazy because your entire society is run by landlords pedophiles and religious fanatics, you can do nothing to stop them, they have stalled progress in your country for generations, yet somehow you still have the temerity to call other leaders "dictators"

The republicans are Bull Connor/ KKK grand wizard level racist and Trump has made it so they let it all hang out now all the time. These are vile demented cretins and they shouldn’t be trusted to manage an Arby’s never mind a country

If you flip the nationalities, suddenly the killing of two uniformed soldiers is no longer a terror attack, but rather a precision military operation, carried out successfully. So.
I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured.
I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.
And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response.
I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image.
For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.

the trouble is that americans think that protests are just a fun social gathering where you hold up plaques with "I'd rather be at brunch" and sing k-pop demon hunters songs, rather than a means of physically intimidating and scaring the government into doing what you want
