The thing that MAKES ME SICK, is that people don’t know how to protect themselves in the most basic of fucking ways, like VOTING. Propaganda has fucked you fools up. You have the nerve to call MAGATs dumb. Jesus.
@StillIRise1963 I have no problem with people who say voting shouldn't be everything we do. In fact, people with the privilege to vote only have to do it 0.068% of the time (1 in every 1461 days), with the other 1460 days available for direct action.
But I'm not sure if there's much of a correlation between loudly online no-voters and direct action...
SOMEONE is going to be elected president of the U.S. in November. It can either be the guy you yell at who changes his approach, or the guy you yell at who puts you in a camp. Up to you.
@StillIRise1963 even if nothing else was different between the two, Project 2025 from the Republicans speaks for itself. We're facing a potential genocide on US soil with Trump.
And I would be shocked if his apocalyptic evangelical handlers allowed him to somehow start giving anything but more aid to Israel.
@hunterhacker@ben with ChatGPT the answer gets turned into atoms and reconstructed, often with errors. It's not showing anyone's answer, it's showing a slop that approximates what it thinks looks most correct.
You have no one to thank, no one to correct, and ChatGPT couldn't start to tell you where the answer came from even if it was 99% from one person.

US House passes bill (320 to 91) that expands definition of anti-Semitism
International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) says its definition encompasses the “targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity”.
"Rights groups warn that the definition could further chill freedom of speech as protests continue on college campuses."
There really ARE outside agitators at the Gaza protests! Like the lady in the middle of this picture, talking into the microphones...
... You know, the anti-Palestine politicians. Like #LaurenBoebert, right in the middle there.
BTW, for anybody on the fence, you've got to wonder why so many ultraconservatives have reached the same conclusion as the "moderate" dems. It's not because Boebert cares about anyone's safety, that's for sure.
@atomicpoet Yeah, "animals aren't little humans" shouldn't need to be explained to anybody...
They have very different body configurations from humans, very different mentalities, and I don't think even the most predictable dog is guaranteed to behave around strangers.
As Ben Burgis points out, attempts to treat these college protests as "Jewish students threatened by anti-Jewish protestors" are seriously perverting the story for the sake of that narrative.
Unsurprisingly, college students lean left.
And any assault on the protestors with chemicals, explosives, and metal pipes (which pro-Zionists have engaged in) is inevitably going to injure Jewish people who disagree with the mainstream narrative.
To a #liberal, there is no such thing as a bad system, just a bad actor.
That's why liberals are okay with the police being used to suppress pro-#Palestine college students at campuses across the nation.
Students with reasonable requests, like for their universities to sell their stocks in pro-#Israel corporations. Why universities have stocks anyway, is bizarre to me.
