Great interview to Palestinian-American activist and Listen to Michigan Co-Director Lexis Zeidan, on the Uncommitted movement. Some of you will not agree with their statements, but it's good to know exactly what they stand for and what their plans are.
Joe #Biden has done more than arm Israel. Leaked documents reveal his own officials see him as complicit in Gaza’s devastating famine
The level of dissent within the US government agency responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and combating global hunger has been unprecedented.
“The US has provided both the military and the diplomatic support that enabled famine to emerge in Gaza,” said Jeremy Konyndyk, a former high-ranking USAID official under Presidents Obama and Biden.
“I don’t believe that the President of the United States – Israel’s most important ally and benefactor – has so little leverage that he can’t force them to take meaningful steps,” a USAID employee said.
This investigation chronicles the Biden administration’s repeated failures to act forcefully in response to months of warnings of a looming famine. Those failures continue to this day.
@sun internal dissent, plus the #uncommitted effort putting Democrat high cryptkeepers on notice that they might have an actual problem come November. It's 100% damage control.
without these efforts, there is no chance whatsoever that Joe Biden or anyone in the upper Dem establishment would be doing a single fucking thing other than suck Bibi's dick while shipping bombs as fast as possible.
🔻'Trump would be worse' is a bad argument & misses several key points.
🔻Biden is pitting vulnerable groups here against genocide victims in Palestine.
🔻If Biden loses, it will be HIS fault.
🔻Protest the DNC in August
"The main event was an onstage conversation with the three U.S. presidents moderated by late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert, but people began disrupting it just 10 minutes into their conversation, as Biden was talking, with protesters calling on the president to stop arming Israel and to enforce a ceasefire in Gaza."
Thousands of protesters outside Radio City Music Hall made their voices heard too.
Voting #uncommitted, disrupting appearances, and speaking continuously about #Gaza are arguably what got #GenocideJoe to abstain from the #UN resolution today.
Whereas #BlueMAGA 's even more constant and obsessive shouting about #TFG didn't do jack shit to sway the #US legal system.
Funny how you make more progress when your priorities are in order.
NO.
now is NOT the time to tell people not to criticize Biden. look at what he is doing for #Gaza after almost half a million #Uncommitted votes during these #primaries.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PUSH DEMOCRATS, TO THE LEFT AS HARD AS WE CAN.
Protests work.
Democrats need to be the #antifascist party, not the party of meeting the fascists in the middle.
now is the time for all democrats to act like members of an antifascist party and not as just the opposition.
Biden says U.S. will begin airdropping aid into Gaza in the coming days
President Biden said Friday that the US will begin airdropping humanitarian aid into #Gaza in the coming days and "insist" Israel allow more supplies into the enclave by land.
"We're going to insist that Israel facilitate more trucks and more routes to get more and more people the help they need. No excuses, because the truth is aid flowing to Gaza is nowhere nearly enough now — it's nowhere nearly enough," he said, adding "innocent lives are on the line and children's lives are on the line."
Next on that front: KEEP IT UP. Support efforts in Colorado, Washington state, and elsewhere.
A direct demonstration of Democrat electoral vulnerability is the only tactic which has changed the behavior of the Biden regime thus far. Keep doing it! #uspol#copol#wapol@palestine
From now on, "Genocide Joe" will get you blocked. One can be critical of Joe Biden's policies over the conflict in #Gaza without repeating Russian propaganda. He can't just pick up the phone and order Bibi to stop, and Bibi has already stated he would refuse such orders. And I'm not going to throw women, gays, trans, immigrants, Ukraine, or anyone else under the bus just because I'm disappointed in his Israel policy. I've made up my mind.

The only reason that #MoscowMike and those other anarchists have the power they do right now is because of all of the campaigns that have been waged to reduce Joe Biden's political capital.
"Come November in this year’s General Election, there will be no such thing as uncommitted. There will be no standing on the sidelines. When the General Election comes in November, here’s how it will go down on the Democratic side of the political equation: If you vote for Biden then you vote for Biden. If you vote for Trump then you vote for Trump."
"If you vote for any of the alternative candidates, you have voted for Trump. If you vote uncommitted, you have voted for Trump. And if you stay at home and don’t vote at all, then you voted for Trump."
Former US Rep from MI, Andy Levin, one of the leaders of the victorious #ListenToMichigan primary campaign:
"The president's people - & maybe the president himself - there's a danger that they see this as like a political problem...No!...This is the killing of 10,000s of innocent people, leveling...most of the Gaza strip"
"there were a greater number of people voting in the Republican primary than the Democratic primary. That's something that's not great for President Biden."
"This 100,000+ people who voted uncommitted...almost all of them wouldn't have showed up, but for this [#uncommitted campaign]. They're mad at the President. They would have stayed home. And our message was, wait a minute, that would be a disaster if you stayed home: he won't get the message. He won't understand. Come out."
with the success of the #uncommitted movement in Michigan, it's time to expand this strategy to every state with a primary system which allows it.
it's time to send Joe Biden and cryptkeeper establishment #Democrats an unmistakable message about what's going to happen in November if they don't get their shit straight, and fast. #mipol#uspol@palestine
so 57,000 #uncommitted democrats in Michigan told Biden to stop supporting #genocide? y'all know he barely won Georgia (or was it Arizona) with less than 20K votes, right?
57,000 for Michigan is a big fucking swing vote.
we know these #primaries are bullshit. #Democrats blocked all contenders to manufacture these phony victories. so stop the "he's crushing it".
Biden doesn't have a 2024 mandate... yet.
BUT! the best news? looks like more Dems are voting in primaries than MAGA fash.
