The tiktok legislation might have them sweating in a case like this.

Bit of a double standard though, right? They don't have to affirm Palestinian's right to statehood. If not saying Israel is a legitimate state is anti-semitism, wouldn't that make the same stance toward Palestine islamaphobia?

The state saying "you know you really should do something about this" is inherently coercive.

Modi better be careful lest he get the Imran Khan treatment from the US.

It can't work for every country. The main reason it works for Israel is that they hide behind anti-semitism accusations. We need to normalize willingness to criticize people regardless of their race.

Some of those leaks resulted in the execution of informants.

This is speculation by the US, they were never able to prove this.

Could you explain why Russia would give him the RNC emails if they didn't want them published? I've seen this claim go unchallenged many times.

Assange thought it was win favor with Trump and maybe get him a pardon.

??? The emails were leaked before any charges were filed. The Trump admin filed the charges. Ultimately the Biden admin cut him a deal. Obama or other democrats didn't seem to want to charge him.

Seeing as it was just patched together from other releases with Russian disinfo laced in between - it should have been removed a long time ago.

Could you show what specifically was fake?

Yeah you're supposed to make up a cover story before you commit the crime not on the spot when the police come knocking.

Asked about those findings on Monday, Miller noted that Israel said there were no tanks in the area, and that the State Department couldn’t attest to any particularities because it is only conveying what Israel has said.

The Washington Post previously confirmed there were armed military vehicles in the vicinity, as did Al Jazeera’s analysis of satellite imagery.

Most expansive intelligence apparatus on the globe, but they just can't figure out what's going on in Gaza.

Mr. Grimm pleaded guilty in exchange for an agreement that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty. But under Virginia law at the time, the crime was not eligible for capital punishment.

Where was this dude's lawyer?

What Euro Med said was also based on the testimony of locals. Sounds like he said she said and since the IDF destroyed all the buildings in that area it'll be tough to prove definitely.

There are holes in Israel's story here.

Aljamal lived on the first floor of a multi-story building, according to Euro-Med. The IDF said the hostages were found on the third floor.

When people rate the economy they are looking at their personal situation. The article is complaining that people aren't looking at all these economic indicators, but it's not clear why they would care about them if they personally are facing hardship.

No one who feels like they can't purchase a house is gonna say the economy is good. Very simple concept.

If you're wondering why Biden won't give an inch:

From this interview in the Atlantic, looks like the guy being interviewed thinks it's probably not constitutional as written. Basically it could run afoul the first amendment and they'd have to write a more specific law to enforce it.

Hmm, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info.

This seems to imply that there aren't already ICC warrants for Putin. There are....

Good for a dem primary, literal cancer for a general. That said I think this is safe district.

What's really gonna sink Bowman in this primary is all that AIPAC money.
