According to users in this thread apparently. This national origin rhetoric is absurd. Fuck that and fuck the KKK.
To everyone not reading this article title: "A Palestinian American medical student objected to working alongside IDF soldiers. The university suspended her"
BUT she was not suspended because she refused to work with or for the IDF. That is a bs title.
Reread the title, it does not say that.
She refused to work with a person who contributed to the genocide against her own people. He chose to be complicit in genocide. IDF soldiers are monsters and can fuck off. We should hand this guy over to the Hague. edit: typo

I know. That's my entire argument. She voluntarily stepped down in January, there is no conspiracy here.
Death to them all, the satanic scum on Earth.
I was debating whether this rhetoric was effective or to easily misconstrued as antisemitic and then this other user writes:
In the end, she’s discriminating against a protected class: national-origin.
Dude, you don't go hard enough with your rhetoric. People unironically believe that if a fascist government drafts you into the military you simply have no choice but to genocide as many people as possible.
Fuck me, I am Jewish. Not in my name! The IDF is committing genocide. Fuck the IDF. Do not let them slide because they were just following orders. Holy shit!
So your argument is that Israeli nationals should be absolved from any war crimes and/or genocide they participate in because they were just following orders?
Using national origin as an excuse for participating in genocide is peak genocide denial.
In the end, she’s discriminating against a protected class: national-origin.
This is the same as equating protesting Russia's invasion of Ukraine as xenophobia against Russians.
I highly recommend reassessing your world view. Your arguments are a one to one match with fascists arguments.

TLDR The point of killing people at this stage is to remove obstacles to the fascist administration. A person who resigned on inauguration day isn't an obstacle.
I do not get where the users commenting about conspiracies and upvoting them are coming from with this line of reasoning. US doctors are notoriously bad at diagnosing women's health problems as they are trained on almost exclusively male patients.
It's not a conspiracy. We are overpaying for the worst healthcare system in developed countries. The healthcare system is killing us.
Not to mention this month's bombing operation in Yemen was leaked to the Atlantic via the chief editor being invited to the Signal group. This administration doesn't have the wherewithal to target people who resigned voluntarily or the ability to keep it secret in real time.
This person resigned. That's what the fascists want. They want everyone who disagrees with them to exit the government so they can replace them with loyalists. Her resignation is not some bold act of resistance, it was more of the same, complying in advance.
If a person stays in their position, openly defies the administration, appeals illegal attempts to have her removed, and then is killed that's when we all need to be pointing out a potential conspiracy.
This person got out of the way for fascists and then died because she was receiving substandard care for a known health condition because Republicans have been allowed to privatize everything at our expense for decades.
She did great work as an US attorney. But she didn't provide any resistance to the incoming administration. The bulk of meaningful resistance from inside the government has been from federal judges. These federal judges are the only ones would even merit this kind of treatment. They are the ones whose court orders are slowing down this administration.
The Trump administration has already ignored one judge's order to turn around planes to El Salvador. The Trump administration is trying to appeal to the Supreme Court to get these court orders overturned. If that doesn't work they will likely ignore them.
In fact, the Trump administration wants to remove universal injunction all together, so the courts will lose a crucial check on the executive branch.
https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/03/trump-asks-supreme-court-to-step-in-on-birthright-citizenship/
Harris characterized the district courts’ orders in the three birthright citizenship cases as “part of a broader trend.” Since Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, she complained, “district courts have repeatedly issued orders that superintend the internal operations of the Executive Branch by prohibiting the formulation of new policies.” But “[y]ears of experience have shown that the Executive Branch cannot properly perform its functions if any judge anywhere can enjoin every presidential action everywhere. The sooner universal injunctions are ‘eliminated root and branch,’” she concluded, “the better.”
These federal judges are the people this administration would want killed because they are actively resisting the fascists in an impactful way. And they probably won't bother to kill any judges in the short term. If the Supreme Court doesn't make this problem go away the fascists will ignore the courts. edit: typos
Very true. Modi sucks too!
Wow, that sucks. Canada is having a rough time of it with the current Chinese and US dictatorships. Hopefully we'll do something about that in the US.
🫶 🇨🇦 💪 🆙
Netanyahu's goals are to deny Palestinian statehood and form a greater Israel. He does not care about the hostages.
Iran also sold drones to Russia and have been a longer ally than Israel. But I guess that doesn't really matter to dictatorships. Russia doesn't really need Iran anymore now that they have Israel and the US.
Yeah, but I would think the Iranian leadership would rather have the US at their beck and call than as an enemy trying to wipe them off the face of the Earth no?
edit: It probably wasn't up to Iran. Russia could be backstabbing them for the shiny new toy that is a fascist Israel.
"The Trump administration and the White House were consulted by the Israelis on their attacks on Gaza tonight and as President Trump has made clear to Hamas, the Houthis, Iran - all those who seek to terrorise not just Israel but the United States of America will see a price to pay," Leavitt said.
"All hell will break loose and all of the terrorists in the Middle East - the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iranian-backed terror proxies and Iran themselves - should take President Trump very seriously when he says he is not afraid to stand for law-abiding people."
I figured Trump would want to make peace with Iran since they're also a Russian ally. At some point I guess you have to choose and we're already too in deep with Israel to be neutral. So Trump will be supporting the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians and war to form a greater Israel against Iran and its proxies. That's awful, for a bit there I thought we might have accidentally allied with everyone in the Middle East. edit: added quotes
Fascists want us to comply in advance. Democrats, the opposition party, complied in advance. It is well understood that fascists move one step at a time so that they can execute their plans without serious opposition from the people.
So it does matter what Schumer does, because the fascists wanted to move unopposed and he, as minority leader, let them get away with it. My point is that Schumer's fake concern that the fascists will have more leeway with a shutdown is bunk. The fascists goal was to get congressional approval and they got it for free.
Nothing to do with this comment thread it’s just something that annoys me.
This isn't about leftist moral purity. Chuck Schumer sided with the fascists on the only recourse we had to meaningfully resist them for the next six months. He betrayed us for billionaires. He add the ability to get results. Instead, he threw away the country for nothing. Billionaires are not our friends. They would happily see us off to the death camps if they could make more money that way. Which is what they are doing right now. We need to have a greater sense of self-preservation than working with someone who is effectively a Republican.
What’s the more likely scenario
His donors told him to not shut down the government to save their stock value. He doesn't agree with Republicans. Billionaires have a class interest to increase the value of the shares they own. All the politicians who serve billionaires instead of working class voters are going to vote the same way. Because no matter which billionaires politicians serve the billionaires share the same interest. It's the simplest explanation.
Voters are not dumb
It's not an intelligence test. Voters aren't paying attention because they don't have time because they live pay check to pay check. Mike Johnson, the House majority leader, still blamed Democrats for almost shutting the government down even though he was the one who put the House on recess to put pressure on the Senate.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/14/aoc-chuck-schumer-gop-funding-bill
But House Speaker Mike Johnson sent his members home to their districts after Republicans advanced the spending bill on Tuesday, effectively forcing Senate Democrats to accept the measure as passed or risk a shutdown. In a statement on Friday, Johnson applauded his caucus for sticking together and accused Democrats of nearly triggering a shutdown “simply because they seem to hate President Trump more than they love America”.
This is messaging. That's the sort of thing that's gets on Fox or CNN aired totally uncritically and if that's all a person hears between now and the midterms that's going to be a deciding factor in how they vote. edit: typos
Bipartisan spending bill.
Yes, unfortunately. Chuck Schumer handed the country over to fascists in exchange for nothing so his billionaire donors' stock portfolios would go up. Schumer made the next small step and we are all closer to the death camps.
It had the support of Just Enough Democrats.
No, they only needed eight Democrats in the Senate. They got ten. It was overkill. They also got one House Democrat. This in excellent opportunity to educate people that Democrats serve the same billionaires as Republicans and the magnitude of the work that will need to be done to fix it. We need to overturn Citizens United and get money out of politics at the bare minimum. edit: capitalization
The fascists will do what they want either way. They only use laws when it is convenient for them to do so.
What the fascists wanted was to be legitimized by bipartisan support of their bill. They wanted the Democrats to consent in advance. To take the next small step willingly.
Chuck Schumer has handed the country over to the fascists in exchange for nothing because he serves the same billionaires.
There wasn't a sudden realization from Schumer that flipped his opposition on Wednesday to his support on Thursday. That was his obvious cover to try to hide the billionaires he serves. Don't fall for it.
Whoever controls the messaging can blame the other party for the shutdown. Democrats don't bother to even have a narrative let alone control one. They fight in a strictly performative way. So no matter what happens Republicans can always blame Democrats and without an alternative view point pushed people who aren't politically engaged are more likely to believe Republicans.
The ten Democrat Senators who voted for the CR do not care about winning. They care about raising their donors' stock portfolios.
Citizens United has allowed what was already happening to reach its logical conclusion. The reason more people are noticing is because it's by far the worst it's been since we've had monopoly and anti-trust laws. If people take the time to look they'll see it.
This time it wasn't just one guy or two guys. It was ten Senators and a House Rep. Schumer as the senate minority leader handed over the country to the fascists. It's an unprecedented betrayal. And it shows how both parties serve the same billionaires. =(
Fuck me. The backstab is from the cheese guy. 🤯
Genocide denial is still genocide denial even if your argument uses victims of one genocide to deny that genocide happened to other groups of people.
Yes, this is the problem with pretending there is any chance of a conspiracy being here. This is anger that should be directed at the healthcare system.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It's not on me to prove a negative. The evidence we do have suggests she died from an underlying medical condition. That's what we know, right now. If you want to support a different theory find some evidence to support it.
It does though. By your argument's reasoning, they cannot be so dumb to have chosen her as a target and so smart to have covered it up. If they were smart enough cover it up they would never have picked her in the first place and would definitely have gone for these federal judges. But since SCOTUS is stacked and they think they can ignore the courts they don't seem to feel the need.
It's not clear that she had anything to do with any of Trump's cases. Her wiki page lists these four:

This administration isn't capable of covering up a murder this convincingly and she isn't even the kind of person Trump would want revenge against. She did nothing against him personally, which is his primary concern. edit: typo
