An Israeli reoccupation of Gaza would be a mistake, Biden says
President’s warning against retaking the enclave is one of his firmest efforts to put a limit on Israel’s actions

President Biden said in an interview broadcast Sunday that a new Israeli occupation of Gaza would be “a big mistake,” comments that came as Israel is expected to launch a hard-hitting ground invasion of the Palestinian enclave.
“I think it’d be a big mistake,” Biden said in a response to a question from “60 Minutes” host Scott Pelley. “Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas don’t represent all the Palestinian people. And I think that … it would be a mistake … for Israel to occupy … Gaza again.”

@emmreef @shoq. This is what happens when the horse race is covered and not the stakes. This sentence is positively deranged: "If Jordan is able to secure the votes to become speaker Tuesday, it would put an end to a chaotic and unprecedented two weeks in the House following McCarthy’s ouster." End chaos? The person who defied a subpoena? Who was central to #January6? Whose legislative accomplishments are nil? Ask the men @ #OhioState whose abuse he did nothing about if he will end chaos.

This is my life.
Every single fucking day.
A new early retirement or abrupt departure.
All yall who bought racist anti-Asian Koch framing to end the humanitarian drive to mask. Or who bought RFK/Wakefieldian lies about vaccines.
All yall. Social murderers who lost your humanity. To not be judged, to not stand out, to what? FOR FUCKING WHAT?
Return to the neoliberal subjugation project?
Fuck you.
@TzipR Welcome to the Fediverse. It is comfortable here. My mother is here as well, and you can follow her at @sheilasmall. I know she’ll love to see you since she had to give up on Facebook.

Tonight’s Snooty antics. After finishing three fairly large worms, he relieved himself. So I gave him a foot bath. He seemed to really enjoy sitting in the warm water. He definitely enjoyed the follow up snuggle and drying off.

re: Pete Davidson speaking on Gaza, Israel, and loss
@AlliFlowers @raf @moondog548 @mekkaokereke They care enough to send warships and arms.
I’m not going to argue that our democracy isn’t broken. I know the score. But I’ll take the risk of wasting a few minutes of my time, in exchange for any chance of helping to avert a genocide. It is literally the least I can do. (It also isn’t the only thing I’m doing.)

Louisiana is slower in most things… including its movement toward Florida-style fascism. Look for it soon.

We would be greatful if you could amplify our voice & let your followers know that the Auschwitz Memorial is present in #fediverse: @auschwitzmuseum
Every day we commemorate the victims & educate about the tragic human history of #Auschwitz.
Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.
It is also a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective responsibility for the world we live in.
