If anybody votes against this, they’ll say they voted to support Colorado terrorist attack.

Double plus bad
Gabe Evans is a fucking loser that barely won that district... but read this thing. Don't just take the headline at face-value, cause that's also wrong.
Read the fucking thing. Here it is again: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:d2810458-ed0c-4ba8-9bb6-185c18b7c95c?viewer!megaVerb=group-discover
Again, fuck Gabe Evans but this headline is sensationalist bullshit. Read the thing.
For the lazy:
Resolved, That the House of Representatives-- (1) condemns Mohammed Sabry Soliman and his antisemitic terrorist attack on peaceful demonstrators supporting the release of the hostages held by Hamas; (2) prays for the quick healing of the victims of Mohammed Sabry Soliman's antisemitic terrorist attack; (3) affirms that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their Federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks; and (4) expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland. <all>
This is embarrassing, but i don't know how resolutions work and I was looking at the same thing and scratching my head.
Is it that along with resolution 1, you area agreeing to the second paragraph here:
So it's this a "therefore" situation or a wrong headline and interpretation from news agencies? I have no idea.
I was going off this: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/485/text/ih?format=txt
I realize how my post can be a bit misleading now. I put up a link to his rough draft, and the one that's in Congress doesn't actually resolve shit.
Getting it out while I still can: Free Palestine!
@Feathercrown US is the only country on earth that prosecutes it's citizens for criticizing anoter country and call for freedom of a third.
it puts a whole new meaning to "land of the free'
Have you heard of Germany?
Yeah why are you telling me though I'm aware
Ermagerd, the courts struck down our law as completely contravening freedom of speech! The courts must be abolished!
Not abolished, just uncorrupted. Which... might look like abolishment for a time.
@ikidd what?
In idiomatic english, the “ermagerd” signifies a mockery of stupidly saying ’oh my god’ followed by equally stupid conclusions.
These laws are performative. They know they'll be struck down, they just put them in so they can point at them to justify authoritarian policy going forward.
Two words
As someone who is Jewish this is insanity.
I SAY DEATH TO THE FASCISTS AND THE ZIONIST TYRANTS, I WANT NO MORE OF THE LIES
DEATH TO THE TYRANTS
DEATH TO REACTION
DEATH TO DECEIT
I'm Jewish, technically Israeli. and after what I witnessed in my years there:
FREE PALESTINE
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA
DEATH TO APARTHEID
I have visted the occupation, in my time there I saw inhuman evils and indescribable horrors
DEATH TO OCCUPATION
DEATH COLONIALISM
DEATH TO GENOCIDE
silly leftists, free speech is for racists
Old Soviet Joke.
Two agents meet in a bar in Germany on the eve of the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The CIA agent says to the KGB agent, "Why do you continue to support the Soviet Union? You have no freedom in your country. Come to the United States. In our country, we can criticize our leaders. I can say 'Death to Ronald Reagan' and nobody will stop me."
The KGB agent shakes his head, smiling. "Why would I want to travel all the way to America in order to say that? In Moscow, we also say 'Death to Ronald Reagan' whenever we please."
Another one: A CIA agent and a KGB agent meet at a bar after talking for a while the KGB agent says to the CIA agent „You know one thing we really admire back in the USSR is your propaganda it’s really top notch“ the CIA agent looks confused and asks, „What propaganda?“
GOP Rep Introduces Resolution Labeling ‘Free Palestine’ Slogan as ‘Anti-Semitism’ - Activist Post (2025-06-15)
>> Colorado GOP Congressman Gabe Evans introduced a non-binding resolution on Friday that labels ‘Free Palestine’ as “an antisemitic slogan.” The bill seeks to limit immigration of people who oppose Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and Tel Aviv’s genocidal onslaught in the besieged Gaza Strip. The bill is expected to be voted on some time next week.
The bill reads, “Whereas, while shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails.”

https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:d2810458-ed0c-4ba8-9bb6-185c18b7c95c"That's a funny way to spell "destroy Israel""
Insanity
How many wars and genocides does Israel have to be involved in before "Destroy Israel" becomes a more popular slogan?
Nobody seems shy about saying "Destroy Russia" or "Break up China" or even "Invade Mexico". Hell, nobody seems shy about saying "Nuke Iran". Beginning to think there might be some kind of regional political bias to which countries we're allowed to fantasize about demolishing.
Congress can deem whatever they want, I'm gonna keep saying Free Palestine until Palestine is free.
Double down on that genocide, bitches, and the news/public will track the names of the ones that do.
Nah, the news won’t do that. They’re all owned by oligarchs who are responsible for the current state of the world. Corporate news is not on our side.
No one is coming to save us, we have to do it ourselves.
so a slogan, that involves a semitic country with actual semitic roots, is antisemitic? Can't make this shit up.
Something something Congress shall make no law limiting speech.
what about speech they don't like?
Land of the REEEEE
This passes and those shitweasels will declare BLM is "an antiwhite slogan" and move to ban it the same way. Then test the waters for other things, like calling Yam Tits "Yam Tits"... Right to jail.
Guarantee this is what they're going for. Systematically destroying our freedoms.
🖕🤬🖕
I'll go a step further. Restore East Palestine to its rightful owners.
Restore all Palestine
@faab64 @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@a.gup.pe
This shows Republicans and people in power are really scared of a movement of solidarity among their own people, and rightly so, imo; it can topple them.
(Angela Davis said Palestine was the litmus test.)Jews becoming Nazis and US playing on their side wasn't on my history classes bingo card of future events
Zionist ideology was around before Hitler even rose to power (Theodor Herzl is credited with founding of modern Zionism in the 1890s and he advocated relocation of Arabs and pushed "neglected soil" justifications) and the Nazis were specifically inspired by the US genocide of natives and jim crow.
As a bonus, you have Germany enabling
thenthem as well.
Palestine will be free!
Fuck fascists.
