I only object to one thing in what he says:
“We can protect LGBTQ rights and basic human rights at the same time..."
They're the same thing. It's not like some people's rights are an optional extra. Either everyone has basic rights or no one does. And that's why it should be central to the political platform: abandoning it is abandoning your commitment to basic human rights, which should be pretty foundational.
Yair Golan, a left-wing politician and former deputy commander of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), sparked outrage on Monday when he said: "Israel is on the way to becoming a pariah state, like South Africa was, if we don't return to acting like a sane country.
"A sane state does not wage war against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not set itself the goal of depopulating the population," he told Israeli public radio's popular morning news programme.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit back, describing the comments as "blood libel".
Fuck Netanyahu and his cynical exploitation of "antisemitism" accusations for his own murderous ends. The thing that made the blood libel libellous, and the accusation antisemitic, was that the people accused weren't killing babies, and they were accused because they were Jews. It's not blood libel to point out the fact that the IDF, under Netanyahu, kills children without a second thought every day.
The Department of Homeland Security said it revoked Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification because the private school’s leadership “has created an unsafe campus environment by permitting anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators to harass and physically assault individuals, including many Jewish students, and otherwise obstruct its once-venerable learning environment.”
“Many of these agitators are foreign students,” DHS said.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who ordered the revocation, said, “Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.”
We know that's all a pack of lies. These fascists pick their enemies, then pick the lies to pursue them with.
Hyperrealist artists paint this kind of thing all the time. It's quite possible to paint this using actual paints.
Here's my layperson's understanding (I'm not American either, but watch their descent into dictatorship with grim fascination):
If someone disobeys a judge's legal orders, they can be held in contempt of court. People can be imprisoned for contempt of court or otherwise sanctioned through criminal or civil means. This bill states that a court may not use any of its funds to enforce any such sanction, so effectively it means that the court can do nothing to enforce a judge's orders.
This is convenient for Trump and his government, who have been disobeying judges whenever they feel like it. And it effectively means Trump can enforce his will, without anyone being able to stop him or his enforcers by challenging them in court. So if Trump decides you are to be disappeared and imprisoned for life or executed, the courts can do nothing to stop it. The law of the land will effectively be made up on the fly by Donald Trump.
More specifically, to hurt and kill those they judge to be weak.
Greenland is not a full member of the EU, since a referendum in 1985. But it's a territory of Denmark, which is a member, and citizens of Greenland are citizens of the EU. It seems complicated:

Before prostate cancer gets stage 12 Donald Trump, you mean.
Under Biden the USA wasn't just letting the genocide happen. It was providing the weaponry to enable it. Harris didn't distance herself from any of Biden's policies, so both candidates were active supporters of the genocide. That's not to say they were equally bad. The USA would still have been better off without gloves-off fascism at home and alienating all its allies through aggressive, nonsensical and incompetent foreign and economic policy.
Knowing how Israel operates, they probably just missed.
Just to be clear, this "white genocide" in South Africa is entirely fictitious. It's not even an exaggeration of some small trend. The rate at which white people are killed in South Africa is no higher than for other population groups.
And yet, on the basis of this racist fiction, Trump's regime is giving "asylum" to white South Africans.
Canada has good universities, and you won't end up in a concentration camp.
