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.

clawfulneutral,

@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.
