So you're giving her the credit how?
So you're giving her the credit how?
Why the frowny face? Is it bad that the team can be successful without her?
Or Afghanistan? Or Vietnam? Or all the kids dying in mines right now in the Congo digging minerals for our phones? Capitalism is a murderous system and always has been.
Shall we talk about the imperialist wars that the US engaged once they ran out of space and people to genocide at home? Or all the meddling they did in other countries elections that led to fascist governments that massacred/disappeared their own people? Or can we just talk about Iraq?
But if you want to argue that, oh, not all those societies were strictly capitalist...we can just focus on North America where the native population was cut in half from 8 to 4 million by 1776 and decreased to 250,000 by 1890. You do that staggering math.
There are estimates that another 5 million Africans died in the "seasoning" camps after their arrival. Especially those in the Caribbean. Now let's talk about the indigenous folks who died to make way for capitalism. 56 million across the Americas.
Your ignorance is staggering. The transatlantic slave trade was a capitalist project. Westward expansion in the US was a capitalist project. Upwards of 2.4 million people died in the crossing alone. Not even counting the folks who died before they got in the ship.
And how many millions of people has capitalism killed in this century alone? I'll wait.
Have you seen capitalism, lately?
Also look at how much Democratic dinosaurs are spending to try to prevent a truly progressive candidate from winning NYC"s mayoral election. They fight left-leaning folks in their own party way harder and dirtier than they fight Republicans or Republican policy.
Just ignore the fact that the Democratic President spent billions of dollars to support Israel's genocide and lied on the behalf of a war criminal. He made Trump's job that much easier.
Democrats exist so that people like you don't oppose the rot at the core of this country and keep believing this system was actually built to serve people if only the "right" leaders were in office.
Democrats proved they were not "my own team" when they barely made a chirp to stop a genocide being funded with our tax dollars under the leadership of a Dem President.
Someone wrote it a few years ago...or wait, that was a vampire. Lewis turns her into a vampire.
We can blame them all. Plenty of it to go around.
I thought she was married to Jaylen Brunsom
How many car explosions has this man been nearly killed by in the last five years? I can remember at least three.
An economy built on militarism is an economy built on death and imperialism. Are you saying Michigan has nothing more to offer?
Why does Michigan need an air squadron?
I have seen an unexpected number of TikToks involving 50 somethings shocked to learn that they are pregnant. In my reality, sounds like a nightmare, but if EO wants it, let them have it.
California has 12 ports, including the two largest in the country. That's some major bargaining power.
these new tariffs weren't created by the legislature
My point is, a free and critical press should not be joshing it up with the most powerful people in the world who they should be holding accountable for their many crimes.
This event is a joke anyway.
But then he, like, quit his job a few episodes later (or so it felt to me) so what was the point after all? But I do think the back-to-back abandonment is what led to her otherwise inexplicably throw herself into Brian's Cassidy's hospital bed
Stabler aside, Bayard Ellis was the only man who was fully her equal and not intimidated by her. Could have been 1/2 of a power couple.
We never were. Let that sink in.
Feels patronizing for this person to think he needs to tell people how to protest. People have been unofficially boycotting Target and Tesla for weeks and it is having an impact as evidenced by the drop in their stock prices. And I daresay they will continue to boycott those businesses after today.
You never have to ask. We'll find it no matter what time you post.
That's not extra work. That is the work.
Plenty of nonprofits run by humanities and social science majors are also obeying in advance, sadly.
Here one-minute after posting. God knows I need a break.
Never going to regret speaking the truth.
And this excuse that she could not publicly undermine Biden (the man she basically called a racist when she was running against btw) carries very little weight. Was it more important to spare the feelings of a genocidal old man than win the election?
No one said she had the power to change Biden's policy. That didn't mean she couldn't demonstrate how her policy would be different as President of the US, the job she was asking for.
If people decided to vote third party (negligible impact) or stay home (significant impact) because they couldn't stomach the thought of voting for someone who can't acknowledge that it's wrong to commit genocide, how can you blame them?
Then she was offered a chance to say how her policy might differ from Biden....here was the moment to signal that she would be different in the most unpopular policy of his administration and she gave nothing.
Instead not only did she refuse but in her acceptance speech doubled down on her commitment to Israel and building the "most lethal" army in the world. Her words.
When did Kamala signal that she was more progressive when it came to genocide. She had many opportunities to do so. The easiest of which was to let Palestinians speak at the DNC.
Genocide Joe. Genocide Joe. Genocide Joe. I'll never let anyone forget what he helped Netanyahu do in Gaza. He has no regrets about it so why should I?
That's exactly what keeps the two party system in place. The lack of any meaningful protest to it.
Please don't be ashamed for voting for Nader. I voted for Gore because of pressure even though I wanted to vote for Nader. Bush still won. And won again. And plenty of Dems voted right along with Bush to go to war.
A lot of the people who might have rebelled against this have already left, leaving only the most fickle, shallow-thinking white liberals making unprincipled decisions while hiding behind lawyers.
My former employer just erased 10+ years of equity work out of this reactionary fear and delusional belief that they can negotiate with Nazis if they pretend like they never talked about white supremacy, social justice, or social emotional learning. (Because God forbid we teach kids empathy.)
I do believe this is a legit purpose
They have cops. So does the Capitol.
This! I know it sounds basic, but if they are not government employees they have no right to be on the premises.
I don't understand why no one has called the police. These are not federal workers, right? They have not sworn allegiance to the US. Musk has not been approved by the Senate and has no official government post. Aren't they trespassing?
Stop expecting the Democratic Party to protect you. They have proven thar they have no interest.
Who sent billions of dollars in weapons to support that monster? Who lied over and over again to support that monster? Who condemned the courts that tried to hold that monster accountable. Oh, I do believe it was the Biden administration.
What part of working on a peace deal includes sending billions of dollars in weapons to one side of the conflict, voting against peace resolutions in the UN, and lying on behalf of a country committed to genocide? Believe your eyes, not your ears.
But they don't ban them. They have strong laws to protect their citizens digital privacy that our own government refused to implement. It's hard to believe our government cares when they pick and choose which companies to target.
How was this evidence that it was a national security threat? And no, TikTok users are no more stupid than you are.
This country has been insane for a long time
Joe Biden just spent a year breaking our own laws against sending weapons to a country committing war crimes so what's your point?
Biden signed it. It's not all about Trump. Democrats handed him this "win." Just like they handed him the election by standing ten toes down for genocide.
Do you know that TikTok allows for more than 30 second videos and that many if not most posts far exceed that? Do you know that people can stitch their video to another one so they are essentially creating a dialogue between two people?
Do you not think talking is a form of communication? Do you know there is live interaction on TikTok? And that people can comment on a video and then the creator can post a video or written reply?
Bluesky is not a substitute for TikTok.
It's not the first time Netanyahu has fucked up a ceasefire deal. They've been playing this game for a year and a half.
Oh, but Biden has done so much has he? That's BS. All he's done is accelerate the death of thousands upon thousands of innocent people.
Oh, and are you forgetting the many times he sent his diplomats to vote against any ceasefire resolution or censor of Israel in the UN? Or his criticism of the ICC for putting out a warrant for Netanyahu's arrest?
And the second most obvious thing he could have done was to criticize Israel for the countless times that they disrupted a ceasefire deal over the last year and a half. Instead he chose to give them cover and blamed Hamas. The ceasefire agreement was originally put forward in May. Israel rejected.
And insisting that Biden did everything to bring a ceasefire about is an obvious lie. He kept the weapons flowing to a country committing genocide. The most obvious thing he could have done to stop it was to stop sending our weapons and money. He still hasn't done that. He is complicit.
Palestinians have something to celebrate. We, the American people, do not. Biden definitely does not. There is a difference. But as I write this, the news is saying Israel is refusing to finalize the ceasefire agreement. So maybe no one has anything to celebrate but the genocidaires.
They haven't accomplished anything but the deaths of thousands upon thousands of people, disproportionately children, paid for with our tax dollars and our democracy. They sold you out for Israel. There's nothing for us to celebrate.
Please tell that to tht Palestinians who have been homeless and on the run for over a year or the entire bloodlines that have been wiped out. When it comes to Israel, Joe Biden's hands are covered in blood.
He deserves zero credit for anything but aiding genocide and helping to re-elect Trump because he cared more about Zionism than his own country.
Please, Joe Biden could have had a ceasefire a year ago if he wanted to. He is the one who kept sending Israel weapons and letting the Israeli government kill every deal and then blame Hamas for it.
An entire TV series was made about the fall of legacy media (Newsroom) and no one took any notes or learned any lessons from it
Legacy media has done a terrible job reporting the news since at least the George W administration. If they invest in reporting over talking heads and "debates" maybe they'd be worth going back to.
Are you joking? Homelessness is at an all time high.
The church I go to used to be a lesbian bar and is increasingly packed every Sunday. Not all churches are created equal. Churches that are radically inclusive and diverse can thrive. A lot of justice-loving people are looking for solace and a spiritual home.
