What's the chance* that GOP MAGAts will come around to banning vasectomies now that the young'uns are choosing to sterilize themselves rather than face the Big Government overreach of abortion bans?
I mean, how can you enslave child-bearing folks under the boot of capitalism if they refuse to create a steady labor supply?
*The chance is very likely slim to none since the patriarchy by definition values men's rights. But still, capitalism also requires an underclass, and forced birth plunges many into that category without regard to gender.
Joe #Biden has done more than arm Israel. Leaked documents reveal his own officials see him as complicit in Gaza’s devastating famine
The level of dissent within the US government agency responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and combating global hunger has been unprecedented.
“The US has provided both the military and the diplomatic support that enabled famine to emerge in Gaza,” said Jeremy Konyndyk, a former high-ranking USAID official under Presidents Obama and Biden.
“I don’t believe that the President of the United States – Israel’s most important ally and benefactor – has so little leverage that he can’t force them to take meaningful steps,” a USAID employee said.
This investigation chronicles the Biden administration’s repeated failures to act forcefully in response to months of warnings of a looming famine. Those failures continue to this day.
@sun internal dissent, plus the #uncommitted effort putting Democrat high cryptkeepers on notice that they might have an actual problem come November. It's 100% damage control.
without these efforts, there is no chance whatsoever that Joe Biden or anyone in the upper Dem establishment would be doing a single fucking thing other than suck Bibi's dick while shipping bombs as fast as possible.
The governor didn’t offer much of a rationale in granting clemency to Daniel Perry, who killed a Black Lives Matter protester in 2020, but apparently the enemy of his enemy is his friend.
I guess it's good that #Assange won this case against extradition to the #uspol but I think what's happening to him currently might be worse than the alternative. He's in a state of suspended animation, never knowing what his future will be or when the next steps will be taken. Psychological torture in addition to the physical condition he is kept in. Actually being in the US would put pressure on the government to prove what's so much worse about what he did compared to other journalists. IDK.
This is a prime time for Democrats to change their tune on #Gaza.
"On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin NETANYAHU, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav GALLANT, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023"
Finished my ballot to drop off tomorrow (VOTE BY MAIL IS THE BEST, at least as long as the US refuses to make voting easier across the board). My primary ballot is Democrat, but the packet they send includes all candidates. A number of Republican state lawmakers were disqualified from running again after walking out of too many sessions last year. It is truly disquieting how many of them are running for other (even higher) offices. November scares me for so many reasons.
How the fuck did Democrats make the upside down flag about decorum instead of, you know, the fascist coup these fucking ghouls tried on 1/6 and will continue to try until we force them back? They sure don’t seem to be taking it seriously.
The new McCarthyism aiming at university professors
More than 90 professors have been murdered & all universities obliterated during Israel’s genocidal assault.
Globally, academics in various fields have been targeted by pro-Israel groups - fired, suspended, or removed from the classroom for pro-Palestine, anti-Israel speech.
Friends how many times have I fought and pushed back on the far-left MAGA lies and on purpose propaganda concerning the Israel/Gaza War Too many times to count these leftist have totally destroyed all credibility they may have had if any.
I just learned that I've reached the point where I won't take blatant disparagement of political persons who are actually trying.
I welcome you to unfollow me if you cannot find your way to save democracy this year. Literal rights are on the line. Everything is here.
I fucked up by not voting sometimes in the past, not taking it seriously, believing both parties had the country's best interest at heart, for all people, how foolish, I was trying to find the perfect candidate WHO DOESN'T EXIST.
The goal now is to get to vote again (fairly) and make change for the better, everywhere.
Slam the wrong people right now and you may very well make this worse for so many people.
Joe Biden could still turn this around and not lose to Trump by defunding Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. If he doesn’t, there will be only person to blame for Joe Biden losing to Trump in six months and that’s Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden.
