#Biden: It's also a priority for me to urgently address the humanitarian crisis in #Gaza… We can't lose sight of the fact that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians had nothing to do with #Hamas and the appalling attacks #Israel
The number of confirmed deaths of #Americans in the #Israel-#Hamas conflict has risen to “at least 22,” the State Dept said & President #Biden confirmed during remarks on efforts to combat #antisemitism at a White House roundtable w/ #Jewish community leaders.
The The State Dept believes that 17 Americans are unaccounted for in Israel.
2/ Press #Biden noted the US carrier group deployed near Israel and said: “we made it clear to the Iranians: Be Careful.”
Also Biden: Silence is complicity. I want you to know -- I think you have already figured it out, I refuse to be silent, and I know you refuse to be silent as well.
" #Israel has the right to defend itself and its people, full stop," #Biden said. "This is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks, to seek an advantage. The world is watching" #hamas#Gaza
US President Joe #Biden has confirmed at least 11 #Americans have been killed since the #Hamas attack on #Israel started on Saturday.
"Sadly, we now know that at least 11 American citizens were among those killed — many of whom made a second home in Israel," he said in a written statement from the White House.
The #Republicans are making absolute fools of themselves. The house of cards that is their "case" against Joe #Biden comes tumbling down in the face of basic, probing questions. These people should be humiliated and ashamed of themselves for this embarrassing nonsense. And remember, they're getting paid $174k/yr to do this shit. If you or I performed like this at our job, we'd be fired the same day.
Mediapart has launched an appeal for Julian Assange, in the form of an address to the President of the United States of America, Joe #Biden. It has already been joined by three other European media: Der Spiegel (Germany), Il Fatto Quotidiano (Italy) and InfoLibre (Spain).
Dear Mr. President of the United States of America, .../...
#HouseRepublicans have suggested that President #Biden used an email alias to abuse his office & cover it up, but an initial tranche of the messages reveals banal content & personal information.
#ElonMusk created a special system for showing you all his tweets first
After his #SuperBowl tweet performed statistically worse than President #Biden's, Musk ordered major changes to the #algorithm.
Biden's tweet, in which he said he would be supporting his wife in rooting for the #PhiladelphiaEagles, generated nearly 29 million impressions. Musk also tweeted support for the Eagles, generated around 9.1 million impressions before deleting the tweet in frustration.
77-year-old #Trump last night was so confused and incoherent at his speaking event at “Pray Vote Stand” (cough… Karen-Con) that he suggested #Obama was his opponent in 2024, also suggested he beat Obama in 2016, and seemed to think we were on the verge of Word War *2*.
I can only imagine the headlines if 80-year-old #Biden had said this. 🤷♂️
Time that he faces legal consequences, /s: but, oh wait, most governments globally are afraid of #Elmo, b/c he already controls 50% of global satellite communications, also necessary for modern warfare, thanks to #TFG and #Biden did not stop it. As you make your bed, so you must lie in it. /s
the #republicans are going to win the whitehouse again eventually
instead of seeing this as literally the end of the world and we need think more clearly about what happens after that, and how do we prepare for it, and what we can realistically do to stop it.
personally i don't think lining up lock-step behind the #Biden admin is the way we stop the #GOP from taking power, they clearly don't know what the fuck they're doing, and they frankly don't give a shit about vulnerable people. Let's please stop pretending.
The way to make the #Democrats election proof is for them to embrace a populist progressive agenda, since the #DNC is currently run by multimillionaire insider traders they will fight tooth and nail to prevent this from happening, but that's the only hope, the grassroots progressive base are going to have to expel the millionaire leadership and promote populist candidates and policies.
Personally I've of the opinion Biden needs to be forced to step down, the primaries need to be opened up, and Sanders or some other progressive needs to win the nomination - if you don't want fascism to win in 24 that's the most likely bet - It could be Biden can be made to move left, I doubt that, but that's not going to happen without massive internal upheaval.
President #Biden is offering #Florida $350 million in energy incentives. Ron #DeSantis won’t take it, creating the most prominent blockade by any #Republican governor against Biden’s economic agenda.
#GOP presidential candidates are blaming President #Biden’s clean energy policies for the rise in #gas prices. But U.S. #oil production — already the highest in the world — is on track to set a new record this year, showing once again that a global market drives the fuel prices that shape presidents’ political futures.
If you think #Trump really did #Jan6, but you refuse to take the very real, very believable issues around the #Biden presidency seriously, you're just an empty gong.
I didn't vote Trump either time, but anyone can see he's being railroaded.
Come on infosec people, you *know* the signs of social engineering/phishing. High stakes, time constraints, call to action. You're not being smart, you're being a mark.
If you cannot articulate your opponent's position as they would articulate it, you are not qualified to have an opinion on that person or able to have a rational debate. Reductive malicious catch phrases like "Don't Say Gay BIll" or "Republicans want to ban books" are great slogans for ginning up emotional reactions, but don't describe the intent or heart behind the actions. Exactly -zero- Republicans I've ever met want to actually ban books. I've run into more on the Left who want to control speech than vice versa.
I'm horrified by the idea of either the swamp things on the Republican side or the Comrades in the Democrat party taking complete control. The result is the same - "A boot standing on a human face - forever."
More reason for #Biden to refuse declaring a #ClimateEmergency and continue to aggressively accelerate the construction of massive pipelines. Yeay! What Biden meant by promising to take bold action on climate change, is to speed it up as best he can. How does anyone not think that tptb really don't want many of us humans, or many other living things, to stick around this dying rock?
