Fun fact about Josh Shapiro: when he was in high school he announced to his classmates that he would be president by 2028. Since then, he has:
-volunteered for the IOF
-covered up a murder
-covered up sexual harassment allegations against his top advisor
-signed bombs
-not increased minimum wage
.@jonfavs: Would you restrict weapons sales at all [to Israel]?
Shapiro: America sells weapons to lots of countries...and should those nations violate the terms of the sales, they would no longer be permitted to purchase those weapons. I think Israel should be treated as other nations are.

a ghastly, diabolical lie. The "medical relief organization" in qustion United Hatzalah concocted & disseminated lies about Hamas beheading & cooking babies in ovens & cutting fetuses from wombs of dead women. This was documented by the Jerusalem Post. They belong at the Hague.

Glad to see my local electeds not fall for the bullshit anti-Semitism charge around the totally innocuous boycott ride, after some got suckered by the Goldie protest outrage last time.

Three in five American Jews believe that Jewish organizations are exploiting fears of antisemitism in order to defend unpopular Israeli policies.
You can’t say it loud enough: these people do not speak for us.

Zionists have such an intense grip on philly that the lowest form of nonviolent direct action (literally riding around a bike and not patroning restaurants) leads to the governor sending arms in 🤡🤡🤡
My Administration has been in touch with local officials in Philadelphia ahead of the planned protest on Sunday that’s designed to intimidate and drive Jewish businesses out of our communities.
Hate and antisemitism have no place in our Commonwealth. And I’m grateful to state and local law enforcement who will work to make sure our neighborhoods remain safe this weekend.

The universal media lies about the Philly anti Zionist bike ride R astounding, if not unexpected. Phillybike.onyourleft ride has nothing to do with Jews. It is NOT anti-Semitic. It is a pro-Palestein bike ride singllng out Zionist businesses, many of which have supported the IDF

There are more than 21,000 children decomposing in rubble in Gaza. I was saddened to learn that there are restaurant owners in Philadelphia who raise money for the army that killed them.
Yesterday I spoke with a Jewish woman who is afraid to come into Philadelphia because of tomorrow’s bike ride. Her fear was real and palpable, and my heart went out to her. Today, I heard from a Jewish woman who will be joining tomorrow’s bike ride. She was also afraid - about the prospect of what may happen now that so many politicians and leaders have targeted her and others for their speech.
Sometimes being a leader means turning the temperature down. I am committed to the safety of all people in our city and state. I am committed to our civil liberties and the rule of law, which protects speech and due process.

Deleted my last post about the bike ride because it was getting a little out of control. But I support the protesters exercising their first amendment rights and encourage everyone anxious about the implications to read the actual statements from Philly Bike on Your Left.

Jew here. Not anti-Semitic—Anti-Zionist.
Not “Jewish” businesses—Zionist businesses
Not “eve of Kristallnacht” (Nov 9-10, 1938)
—bike protest was Nov. 5.
If you can lie about a hard date for effect, you can lie about the rest. Here’s a better explainer:

Interesting that Stephen Starr's restaurants on Rittenhouse Square are excluded from this boycott. Starr is one of Philadelphia"s most prominent restaurateurs. He's also Jewish. He spoke out against Hamas and 10/7. But he's also been critical of Israel's response which he has referred to as a genocide.
Have any of the other Jewish owners done the same or are these other owners ardent Zionists and supportive of Israel no matter what Israel does?
If they are rabid Zionists, yes they should be boycotted. Yes, I am a Jew opposed to the fascist Likudnik/Kahanist state of Israel.

Yeah I wonder why Mac Mart would be on this targeted anti-Zionist boycott effort let’s take a look at the social media of one of their co-founders and - oh!

James Talarico’s basic diagnosis of American politics looks identical to me to that of AOC and Sanders

This is wrong. He won by 7 points despite hundreds of millions of dark money against him and his own party and the entire media trying to ratfuck him up until the last second. I have a sneaking suspicion why you want to push this narrative though!

The endless media narrative about Abdul El-Sayed and what was happening in Michigan was almost entirely fabricated, irrelevant and the by-product of stupid group-think hysteria.

For tonight to mean anything, the immediate demand/priority for the new Democratic congress must be immediately ending all funding for the catastrophic war with Iran and all military and diplomatic support for Israel.
Imagine if, after losing the primary in 2016 Bernie decided to endorse Trump because he disagreed with Hillary about something.

Once again—and it cannot be stressed enough—THERE IS NO DIVISION AMONG MI DEMOCRATS. El-Sayed is winning 95% of Dems, he has 95% in the last CNN poll—4 pts higher than Rogers 91%. This story is a revolt from a small clique of pro Israel fanatics. That’s it. That’s all it is.

Three years ago today, 1,100 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage. My heart is with those who lost loved ones and felt the pain of that day.
What immediately followed was destruction on a scale this generation hasn’t seen in Israel's nearly 80 years of violent oppression of Palestinians — much of which was funded by American tax dollars. Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, including over 20,000 children. More than 175,000 Palestinians have been wounded. Thousands more are still missing under the rubble. Entire Palestinian family names have been wiped from the civil registry. The Israeli military has bombed hospitals, schools, mosques, churches, humanitarian aid distribution centers, and water systems. Nearly the entire population of Gaza has been driven from their homes and forced to live in tents that have also been bombed. Israel is subjecting Palestinian men, women, and children to systematic torture and collective starvation as a weapon of genocide. Israel has killed over 1,400 Palestinians since its so-called ceasefire. Our tax dollars are paying for these atrocities and unconditional support from both the Biden and Trump administrations have allowed them to continue.
Here in Uptown and the Bronx, our neighbors voted to invest in a politics of life: one where their tax dollars are used to invest in our babies at home, not in dropping bombs on babies abroad. If we are to build a politics of human dignity that disrupts cycles of violence, we must reckon with the reality of our own failure to intervene in decades of dispossession, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Every human life is precious, and we must start acting like it. As a Member of Congress, I will do everything in my power to build a foreign policy rooted in the safety, equality, and freedom of all people, including ending U.S. taxpayer funding for Israel’s war crimes, fighting for a full arms embargo, and for the Palestinian right of return.

Tom Morello is black and has identified as black his whole life. He’s in the Rock & Roll HOF. This is his father. You shouldn’t be surprised about Tom’s 2024 vote, because he explained it directly. Harris had a problem persuading VOTERS OF COLOR, not college whites.
