1. She's saying that on Facebook, which she doesn't have a problem patronizing?
2. At this point all the Target boycott does is carry the regime's water in a continued attack on a company that took the first vicious punch after decades of leading initiatives before anyone even knew what DEI was.
People of every religious faith except the "right" kinds of Christianity need to be paying very careful attention to this. Same for people of no faith. They're not hiding it any more, and they're coming hard.
(And no, in this country, at this time, Catholics are not the "right" kinds of Christians)
The Nakba never ended
Some of us were alive and paying attention during the Vietnam War. We can see through all kinds of absolute bullshit. These guys are amateurs at it.
What a disgrace that our country's history has to be rewritten and dumbed down to fairy tale comic book levels to make white people feel good about themselves. Even more disgraceful is that our military have to be stooges for it.
Brutal. And I thought it's been tough to be a Chelsea supporter lately. I don't mind saying that Atletí is my second favorite team.
So you bought into the slaver story, didn’t examine it closely since childhood schooling, and never let go.
“hostility to battlefield restraint” = prosecutable war crimes
STOP THE WAR No Kings
Much worse, and will impact all food, especially meat. Livestock are fed primarily by corn which needs massive amounts of fertilizer.
...it is monstrous beyond belief and as evil as any cruelty in the long history of warfare.
I do not how or when justice, or vengeance, will come, but I don't think any of us are prepared for what it will be.

With one country that is a theocracy of Jewish faith, and another whose government claims it as a Christian nation, for the life of me I cannot understand how any government can justify or rationalize killing children in this way. Not only is it clearly a war crime and a crime against humanity, 6/
Now, with no "stupid rules of engagement," it is an official tactic of the United States military. 5/
Double tap is a tactic developed originally by paramilitary terrorist groups at the end of last century, then adopted by the Israeli IDF when they used it similarly with heavier weapons against schools and hospitals in Gaza. 4/
...draw in their families and other responders from the base, and the second strike was timed to take everyone out who arrived to help. 175 people died, including 150 children. 3/
The girls school was attended by the children of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval forces, and was near to one of its key bases. The first strike on the school was intended to cause injuries to the children and 2/
The double-tap missile attack on the girls' school in Iran was conducted by the United States and was deliberate. We intentionally killed children and used them as bait.

(Analysis in this article done by Al Jazeera. Syncs with similar analysis done by the New York Times two days ago.)
If you grew up with this in the 70s and 80s in New York City, you know how true it all rings.
Okay one more, outstanding from Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social about the implications that automated technologies have for the execution and prosecution of war crimes.
…second, another excellent piece from Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social , in which she touches the third rail that needs to be touched: the Kahanism that runs Israel, and now us.
“Trump is not in control of the Iran War. Netanyahu is, and Kushner is his lackey.”
Two must-reads for the weekend:
First, Rebecca Solnit’s @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social illumination of why those with “the mentality of a rapist” will not win, and…
Politicians are only the errand boys. Dirty energy is yesterday’s garbage. Want to stop this current wave of madness, tech billionaires need to be brought down.

Shareholders need to start suing to block the packages. This is obscene.
The Secretary of Defense said we would no longer have “stupid rules of engagement.”
There is no wriggling out of this. There is no excuse for this. There is no absolution for this. There is only justice. Let us only hope it comes at our own hands.
This is a guy who advocated shooting journalists. What do you think his position will be on observers like Renee Good and Alex Pretti

If you had to pick the one person to replace Kristi Noem who would be worse for the situation or our country, you would pick Markwayne Mullin. That guy is absolute garbage. There will be open warfare in our streets before summer, which is probably the intention.
The way Hegseth and Leavitt whine about the reporting on our war dead is absolutely disgusting.
