When Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced his plans to provide one of the key Democratic votes Republicans need to advance a partisan spending bill, the decision hit like a shockwave among House Democrats.

Chuck Schumer needs to be removed no matter the cost.

Hamas is always at war—sometimes with Israel and sometimes with its own people. You can tell the difference by the fact that Hamas only wears military uniforms when it’s carrying out a campaign of terror and score-settling on Palestinians in Gaza.

Amid all the debate over the future of Gaza, Western media and supposedly “pro-Palestinian” advocates are noticeably quiet about Hamas using the cease-fire to murder and maim the Palestinian civilians whose wellbeing the world suddenly stopped fretting over.

On January 23, four days into the cease-fire, a Gazan-born Palestinian dissident reported that Hamas’s Telegram channel was crowing about the terror group’s execution of presumed “collaborators.” He followed up with a video that soon made the rounds on social media showing Hamas gunmen shooting civilians in the legs as they laid on the ground with their hands tied.

Later that night, Gaza Now, a Hamas-affiliated outlet, reported that “5 collaborators of the Zionist occupation were executed in the southern Gaza Strip a short while ago, bringing the number of collaborators executed today to 11.”

By the end of the month, Hamas was boasting of hundreds of supposed collaborators it would be combing through Gaza to execute: “The beginning is Rafah, then Khan Yunis… The rest of the governorates, one after the other, will be dealt with by a special unit affiliated with the security services in Gaza. They will strike with an iron fist, and there will be no repentance for anyone except the punishment of bullets.”

On Feb. 6, the newspaper Maariv reported that three weeks into the cease-fire the campaign was still ongoing: “The terrorist organization began executions and a widespread wave of arrests. Not only those suspected of any collaboration with Israel, but also anyone who rebels against the situation in Gaza, in any form whatsoever, including on social media, is arrested by Hamas members.” Yesterday, Hamas reportedly opened fire on a family near Khan Younis.

Hamas does this after every war. It’s tradition.

Not that Gazans were free of that tradition during the war. But it’s a more focused campaign now that Hamas brigades aren’t afraid to operate out in the open.

Hamas, of course, really does rule with an iron fist. The terrorists of Gaza also kill with reckless folly: Today, an errant rocket aimed at Israel fell inside Gaza and killed a Palestinian teen.

None of this is terribly unusual. But it’s worth pointing out that Hamas remains able to commit horrific crimes against Israeli hostages and Palestinian locals at the same time. Which means that, while Hamas may be far from its pre-war strength, the status quo in Gaza remains.

Which is another way of saying that there will be no rebuilding of Gaza in the near future. Hamas remains in control of the enclave, and its behavior is identical to the way it acted during and before the war. There is less for Hamas to break in Gaza, but it intends to break what it can find.

Considering all this, there is something almost silly about the way the discourse on the conflict has become monopolized by the subject of postwar recovery. Even if Palestinian civilians wanted to leave the enclave temporarily to allow their neighborhoods to be rebuilt, Hamas wouldn’t let them go anywhere—and Hamas certainly wouldn’t leave of its own free will.

During active conflict, Hamas is the biggest threat to Gazans: Israel creates safe zones and gives advance notice of attacks in the hot zones, and Hamas’s use of those humanitarian sectors puts civilians in the line of fire. And when there’s not active conflict, Hamas is still the biggest threat to Gazans: It just goes around executing them at will.

Any plan, therefore, that aims to improve life for Palestinians requires a realistic way to rid Gaza of Hamas. Without that, there is no “Riviera on the Med,” no two-state solution, no peace—no change at all.

I think the last realization a lot of people have to make and that they have been holding off on admitting to themselves because it's a hard pill to swallow is that if they are in agreement that trump/the republican party are fascists then if there are democrats who work with them in the government and support their right wing policy-making, then those democrats are by definition fascist collaborators.

The final difficult acknowledgement being that not only do most dems not have any interest in fighting trump or trying to stop fascism, but that at least some democrats are fascists themselves. That some dems have openly and willingly chosen to side with fascists and can not be reasoned with ever, that they are our enemy as much as trump is.

Chuck Schumer and the dems who sided with the right to censure Al Green are only the most current visible examples of this.

Concept: Kaito becoming a collaborator but not as KID but due to the crimes he does to prepare for KID heists (information gathering etc) or because of family friends/his mother's request. He even does break ins with Aoko and pickpockets pickpockets on the street it wouldn't be hard for it to happen. I like Zero knowing Kaito's capabilities but not connecting the dots that he's KID yet, on Kaito's end he can't let KID be compromised.

Zero would find him useful, and since KID isn't in his jurisdiction, he won't bother with it... until he becomes personally interested, in any case.

These 10 Democratic Senators sold out their party, their colleagues, Federal workers, their country, and their constituents, by voting to advance the Continuing Resolution that gives FOTUS and Musk greater control over our government and budget.

And to be clear: this is not a "both sides are the same" or "Do nothing Dems" or "protest vote" post- even though those are all narratives that these peoples' despicable cowardice and treachery will fuel. The VAST majority of Congressional Democrats did do the right thing and voted against this- all but one in the House, and more than three quarters of those in the Senate.

But Republicans only needed a handful to bypass a filibuster and make this obscene resolution law.

The worst are the New York Democrats, Schumer and Gillibrand. Unlike the others, they aren't in a swing state. They are long-time incumbents. Their seats are not realistically threatened, except by a primary from the Left which this makes more likely. There is no reason at all for them to do this, other than corruption or cowardice.

And Schumer is Senate Minority Leader- arguably the leading figure in the party now, along with Hakeem Jefferies in the House. He not only surrendered to the regime here, but went against the bulk of his own caucus to do it. He is blatantly unfit to be minority leader, and he should be challenged for the position immediately if he will not resign.

All ten of these turncoats should face primary challenges at their next election (if there ever is one again), but especially Schumer, Gillibrand, and Fetterman (who has been cozying up to MAGA repeatedly since the election).

On one positive personal note, I am pleased to see that both of my Senators, Bennett and Hickenlooper of Colorado, voted against this, as I called and urged them yesterday to do.

Well, if the House Democrats don't have the votes, and the Senate Democrats are too divided to do so, then it is up to the people to shut down this fascist regime, via mass boycotts and a general strike.

Am I calling Bernie Sanders a collaborator?

Yes. Yes I am.

Maybe some journalists had good excuses to be on the ground, to experience it firsthand, and Reverend Butte was there to confront the fascist. Everyone else served absolutely no purpose but to legitimise the coming regime. Yes, that include the politicians. I don't care what were they acting like, their absence would be a much more powerful statement. Fuck every single establishment politician who had the power to do something - anything - and didn't.

Hello, would you mind explaining what a collaborator is in Detective Conan context? It's been mentioned a few times but I don't really understand what the relationship agreement entails, it sounds like a criminal consultant/confidential informant but not quite. Are there rules or an actual contract? What does Kaito have to do for Zero and vice versa?

It's mostly confidential information... but...

A collaborator is someone who can provide information to their client, legally or otherwise, in exchange for payment.

Whether there's a contract or not is completely dependent on the collaborator and client's agreement, on their own terms.

In Kaito’s case, he can get the information Zero wants in exchange for the information Kaito wants... a little chocolate doesn't hurt either.
