I can’t get over #Trump saying watching students & police clash
“WAS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WATCH”
Yesterday Trump said talking about the #protests:
"[#Biden] said he ran because of #Charlottesville.… Well, if the people that know Charlottesville, when you extend that statement, it’s a big hoax. Charlottesville is peanuts compared to what you’re looking at now."
#WhiteChristianNationalism #Israel #Gaza #Palestinians #FreedomOfAssembly #FirstAmendment #law #VoteBlue #BidenHarris2024
#POTUS #Biden is set to give a speech on May 7 at a ceremony commemorating the Holocaust.
#DouglasEmhoff, husband of VP #KamalaHarris, said at an event in New York on Wednesday that, "We’re in favor of the right to #protest. But when that crosses into #violence — when that crosse into calls for genocide, calls for Jews to be murdered, that’s completely unacceptable & must be stopped.”
#Israel #Gaza #Palestinians #FreedomOfAssembly #FirstAmendment #law
#Biden’s stance is more nuanced, more difficult to explain to a mass audience. He supports #peaceful #protests consistent w/ the #FirstAmendment, but not #demonstrations that result in vandalism, trespassing & other #crimes.
Like the #protesters, Biden believes that #Israel has inflicted too much carnage in #Gaza. Unlike some of them, he defends Israel’s sovereignty & recoils at the notion of Jews losing a homeland.
A #Biden adviser said: "Donald #Trump has repeatedly fanned the flames & encouraged #CivilInrest as a political strategy, & it has repeatedly failed to be effective."
The campus #protests pose a dilemma for Biden as the pace of the general election campaign quickens. Trump’s stance is simple enough for a bumper sticker: “People have to respect #law & order in this country,” he wrote in a post on Tues.
[unless they’re his supporters aiding his #coup, beating police, & looking to hang his VP]
Speaking at a campaign event in #Wisconsin on Wed, #Trump derided the #protesters as “raging lunatics & Hamas sympathizers," & called on #Biden to “speak out” — accusing him of being “definitely against #Israel.”
Trump also took aim at #Columbia’s president, Minouche Shafik….
“The person that heads it up — a woman — she waited so long. She was so weak. She was so afraid. She was so bad.”
#misogyny #MaleSupremacy #Gaza #Palestinians #FreedomOfAssembly #FirstAmendment #law
For now, #Biden is taking a hands-off posture toward the unrest & has no plans to step up his involvement in escalating clashes between #police & #protesters, WH & campaign advisers said, even as #Trump looks to capitalize on the issue.
Biden's view is that it’s up to #university ldrs to decide how to cope w/campus #demonstrations….

Trump tries to paint college campus anti-Israel protests as a Biden political liability
Joe Biden’s advisers believe that tensions over U.S. support for Israel in the war in Gaza spreading through college campuses will soon flame out.Peter Nicholas (NBC News)
The #Oct7 attack on south #Israel by #Hamas militants from #Gaza & the ensuing IDF offensive on the #Palestinian enclave have unleashed the biggest outpouring of US student activism since anti-racism protests in 2020.
"Your towns & villages will now be accepting people from Gaza & various other places," #Trump said, referring to media reports of plans by the admin of #POTUS Joe #Biden …to accept some Gaza #refugees.…

Yeah, I mean who hasn’t funded a little genocide every now and then? Especially when it’s Brown folks on the other side of the world getting slaughtered in the tens of thousands, amirite?

Finally! After 50 years of draconian pot laws, #cannabis will be moved off of the Drug Enforcement Administration's very restrictive Schedule I ('no medical use') & #Biden admin will move to Schedule III.

#EnergyTransition: Biden Administration Moves to Speed Up Permits for Clean Energy https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/30/climate/biden-administration-moves-to-speed-up-permits-for-clean-energy.html #USpol
"The #Biden administration on Tuesday released rules designed to speed up permits for #CleanEnergy while requiring federal agencies to more heavily weigh damaging effects on the #climate and on #LowIncome communities before approving projects... This is a big deal because for the first time it prioritizes projects that have #ClimateChange and or #EnvironmentalJustice benefits"
Despite the legacy media’s relentlessly hostile coverage, #Biden is absolutely walloping #Trump among people who get their news from real news outlets.

In the past 3 weeks, the #Biden admin has extended overtime pay for 4 mil workers, moved to cancel student debt for 25 mil borrowers, banned non-competes, banned drilling on 13 mil acres of AK wilderness, forced airlines to give refunds for delayed/ canceled flights and restored net neutrality.
Doesn't matter given that nobody knows this, popularism is BS, there's no liberal equivalent of Fox, the legacy media is relentlessly hostile and Biden's the elderly PM of Israel. #Election2024
Via Obama advisor Eric Schultz:
wow - NYT reporter says their nonstop coverage of #Biden’s age is retribution for not giving their boss an interview:
“It’s A.G. He’s the one who is pissed [that] Biden hasn’t done any interviews and quietly encourages all the tough reporting on his age.”

#BernieSanders' approach to providing funding for low- and middle-income #US families to install #SolorPanels at their homes is the right way.

"The developments over the past week mark a political turning point. The Biden administration, in alliance with the fascist-led Republican Party, has moved to criminalize political opposition to the Gaza genocide, currently centered on campuses, through a massive police state mobilization."

#Trump losing 17% of the vote in a closed swing-state primary to a candidate who dropped out months ago should lead to a lotta commentary about his weakness. It won’t, because the press is obsessed with Trumpers sticking with Trump regardless, but it should.
Imagine how they’d cover Dean Phillips pulling those numbers against #Biden.

Der eine verbrennt sich während des Trump-Verfahrens vor dem New York State Court aus Angst vor der totalen faschistischen Weltverschwörung. Die andere ruft zur Bewaffnung im Namen Gottes auf. Wer ständig wie #Trump in den Wald seine narzisstischen Verschwörungstheorien hineinruft, erntet genau diese Saat: Lügen, Hass, Zwietracht und völligen Irrsinn.
