#RomancingTheVote, a genre romance authors-led effort that raised over US$750,000 for the 2020 and 2022 elections, mostly through silent auctions and funneling donations to Democratic candidates.
They're ramping up their efforts again, but since Xitter is, well, shitty, you can sign up for email notices here: https://forms.gle/h4yHf8VKQmsGaNQS8
Dr. Allan Lichtman, a #historian who has correctly predicted nine of the past ten presidential #elections, pulls no punches as he explains why #Biden must head the ticket if the #Democrats hope to win in 2024.
Joked with my work ND group. "So, who's watching the old cis white men going at it tonight?" My co-workers laughed, but then we discussed the failings of the current guy, but how we were all going to vote for him anyways -- because the alternative was just horrible! Especially for #ND folks who are #GBLTQ (which a lot of us are). @actuallyautistic #ActuallyAutistic#USPolitics#Logic
Linked article below gives an introduction and link to an article that appeared in the June 20, 2024, issue of the #LondonReviewOfBooks (#LRB), a magazine based in the #UnitedKingdom.
Shatz addresses the false conflation of #antiZionism with #antisemitism by #USA politicians and others. He explains that argument is not new, and it has never been shared by all #Jews. The books he reviews in this essay single out #Jewish voices that were sharply critical of the main leaders of #Zionism in the years before Israel was established, as well as after 1948.

New full-length documentary from Fault Lines,
‘The Night Won’t End’: Biden’s War on Gaza
Fault Lines worked with journalists in #Gaza to profile three families as they try to survive the war.
From air strikes to field executions, Fault Lines investigates the killings of civilians by the #Israeli military in Gaza and the role of the #UnitedStates in the war.
"My country is facing a war, and we are facing that hate here," the child's mother said. "My daughter is traumatized. Whenever I open the apartment door, she runs away and hides."
Remember my Ukrainian Jewish cubemate in US was saying that there has never been violent Jewish extremists and would not believe the stories of Jewish Terrorists in the 40s in Palestine before Israel was created.
I guess this is yet another mentally ill person, who can't be connected to any movement or organization or country and no one will ask every Rabbi in the world to condemn her action as they used to demand from every Muslim in the world.
It wouldn't surprise me if she isn't even #Jewish and is yet another christian #Zionist full of #hate and rage against Palestinians, #Arabs and #Muslims.
PS. What kind of sick fuck hates cute little kids so much that she tried to drown them? It's just so disgustingly sick.
Gaza protest t-shirt - I came up with the design, and a vendor of Etsy produces and sells it. Still for sale on Etsy - see link below. (Full disclosure - I get no material benefit from sales, only the vendor does.)
