Congress is pressuring the intelligence community to drop the hammer on “anti-Israel” protesters in the U.S. that it suspects of foreign influence, including with “severe monetary penalties” and criminal prosecution.

    We have to save democracy by (reads notes) voting for the candidate cracking down of freedom of expression.

      “If you want Donald Trump then say that” isn’t cracking down on expression, it’s telling the truth about what will happen if they do as they said and don’t vote. They were trying to interfere with her freedom to express her goals as a candidate, at her forum, during her speaking time. Trump is a much worse threat to the Palestinians than any Democrat, and Harris is already more willing to challenge Israel than Biden, so what were they even whining about?

        “Whining” about her open support for continuing policies enabling and supporting genocide. Fuck off with this hand wringing decorum nonsense, she’s as complicit as Biden

        They didn’t say that they weren’t going to vote. They said that they weren’t going to vote for her. They might vote for Jill Stein or another anti-genocide candidate.

          As a Russian stooge Jill isn’t going to help Ukraine.

          You’re just trading one genocide for another.

          Okay, then it tells the truth about what they will help happen by voting for Jill Stein. They’ll get 2 genocides for the price of one, because Trump will abandon Ukraine and pour money into Israel to curry favor with the Evangelicals as well as grifting some off the top and selling information about Ukraine strategy to Putin.

        Where’s the source for that? Everything I’ve seen has said its just going to be more of the same.
