That one isn’t MAGA but there are equivalents. 1 - Democracy Now is just all anti-Israel all the time. Just look at its feed. I’m not sure the Palestinians want Democracy. 2 - just because you get someone on saying “everyone” is outraged doesn’t mean it’s real. We have the stupidest president in history and all he ever says is people are looking into it or everyone is saying this or that. All lies.

All the tweet said is “outrage is growing.” Not “everyone is outraged.” Regardless, you claimed to “despise” websites like Democracy Now! even though their content isn’t close to what you describe. They’re anti-genocide and anti-ethnic cleansing.

They are pro-one side, which is fine but they only have interest in spreading anti-Israel stories.

What pro-Israel stories should they be covering? Dispute the facts of their reporting if you really take issue with it.

Nothing dumber than objective journalism being conflated with pure neutrality. I’d much rather read reporting that is upfront about their “biases” than one that hides behind a shield of imagined “neutrality.”

I think it’s good when publications are honest about the fact that they do not support ethnic cleansing, genocide, or colonialism. I support those publications.

You are right. It’s a legit new source.

Appreciate the acknowledgment of that. Amy Goodman is a legitimate journalist. They do a lot of good work outside of this area too, but many left-wing publications are focused on Israel right now for obvious reasons. It’s not surprising that their social media feed would be full of that type of content currently.

I think this guy was previously best known for posing his entire family with AR-15s, right? Wild. It’ll be interesting to see if he survives the inevitable AIPAC-funded primary challenge after that tweet.

He's best known to me for participating in one of the most farcical exchanges on the House floor. Most farcical at the time, though. It takes quite a loser to let John Kerry be funny:

Palestinians don’t want democracy because they *checks notes* voted in an election?

Nope. Voted for a terrorist organization with ties to religious (Islamic) fundamentalism. Not coincidentally, 2006 was the last Presidential and Parlimentary election in Palestine.
