    And, the truth is, #Israeli "#settlers" actually *are* regular #Israelis. And doesn't every Israeli citizen have to do a stint in the military?

    #US #senators and #representatives made it a point to remind our #service members that they are required to disobey #illegal orders. I don't think I've ever heard that the Israeli #government #officieals direct their people to do the same.

    Being in favour of seat apportionment in no way affects seat apportionment.

  9. Houstonians, here is convenient contact info for the #House #Representatives of Greater #Houston to make it easier for you to demand the removal of #Trump, who is clearly unfit for office. #HTX #USA #USpolitics

  10. One of the problems with #American pseudo-democracy is that it's a #gerontocracy - rule by the old. The average #Congresscritter is late-middle-age, and the average #Senator is dead. Young people are frustrated at their lack of voice.

    #Canada isn't nearly as bad, but I fear it could trend in the same direction, so I've been thinking about solutions to the problem. I think I've got one that's better than the oft-floated fix of just imposing term limits on #elected office, because you'll probably still be first electing middle-aged people.

    Instead, for each chamber, set a ceiling *average* age for members of that chamber. Maybe for the Canadian House of #Commons and the US House of #Representatives you want something like 40, while permitting the #Senate of each to be the "older, wiser house of sober second thought" by setting a number like 50.

    Each day, the system automatically calculates the average age of members in that class, to account for birthdays etc. If birthday(s) suddenly push that average above the ceiling value, the oldest person in that class is automatically dismissed, leaving the position vacant to be filled by by-election / special election. Repeat until ceiling value achieved.

    Here's the important bit: anyone turfed automatically this way does not receive a pension or other benefits; they're just gone. This gives them the incentive to resign before automatic expulsion; otherwise there's no reason for them to do so.

  11. #israel #palestine : #war / #gaza / #hamas / #criticism / #opposition / #representatives / #disarmament

    »A former senior official of Hamas, with whom he has since broken ties, Yousef offers a bleak assessment of two years of war in the Palestinian enclave. Now living in a tent in Gaza, he voices rare criticism among Islamist circles toward Yahya Sinwar, the militant behind the October 7 attack, which he calls a 'fatal mistake.'«

  12. My understanding of the 12th Amendment Trap is that is slow burning into 2028. But, to not seat #Representatives like happened with #Grijalva is an imminent threat.

  14. #MissKittyPolitics Digest Edition - Thomas #Albus. Georgia. Repeat. Lock ballots away. LEGALLY. smh. No election certification. YES, that is the plan for 2026. Succeed in a couple #Democrat states and then those #Representatives never get seated. #AdelitaGrijalva anyone? Are you with me? More otw.

  16. Our #representatives are wringing hands and waiting for midterms. It will be too late if they don't #ActNow. Get in front of cameras and denounce everything this #administration is doing and bring #reduce
