Certain states have the ability to stay sane,
If Trump is able to normalize using military resources for domestic policy like he is attempting to do here, those states could lose that ability very suddenly
And, like, is taking good media hosted on shitty sites and rehosting it on a better one supposed to be a bad thing?
I swear, some version of this news article has come out once every winter for the past ten years when reporters ignore the impact of cold weather on people’s ability to travel on foot to jerk off some authoritarian bullshit
Also,
But most of those sites were closed last year, Garcia said, as the number of migrant arrivals began to dwindle under the Biden administration. This was partly due to the Mexican government’s efforts to crack down on immigration but also former President Joe Biden’s executive order last summer that did not allow people to apply for asylum if they entered the country between ports of entry.
This is going to be an awful thing that will almost certainly lead to a lot of suffering and death, but watching McConnell’s impassioned and deeply personal stories about surviving polio just get totally ignored like a Democratic president’s supreme court nominee in his Senate was at least a little satisfying
They were and are the same genocide, there was no candidate with a reasonable chance to win that election who was going to hold Israel accountable either way
I mean, all words are made up, but yeah, the whole legal profession is chock full of needlessly flowery language that’s intended to keep normal people from feeling like they can ask too many questions
That said, I’m happy to fight alongside those elitist creeps if they’re fighting against fascism. Once that’s taken care of we can talk about replacing all their stupid bar associations with actual public agencies to bring some (small-d) democratic oversight to their little clubhouses.
A more accurate headline would be “8 Inspectors General Trump Attempted to Fire Sue for Illegal Interference”
“‘Because the purported removals were illegal and hence a nullity, the actions just described constituted illegal interference with the IGs’ official duties.'”
Almost certainly a good assumption, and we wouldn’t know if they were
The ceasefire has been bullshit from the beginning, it was just a way for Israel and Hamas to put a formal end on things that allowed them both to say they got what they wanted out of this bloodbath, but it hasn’t and won’t stop Israeli soldiers from killing Palestinians or Hamas fighters from trying to kill Israeli civilians, and it definitely won’t do anything to put us on a path to any kind of real and lasting peace. We’re right back where we were on October 6, only with 40,000+ dead civilians and a bunch of essential infrastructure destroyed.
lately I’ve been asking if people will write an email to a politician or a celebrity or a business leader, anyone who has the ability to talk to the media, and ask them to use that ability to talk about the plight of Palestinians
It’s almost like after months of having their concerns dismissed and being called Russian plants or whatever else people aren’t inclined to engage in political action alongside the kinda kinds of people who they think said those things. Oh well, at least this is just a silly thing that happens on social media and doesn’t have any relevance at all to the Democratic party’s ability to turn out votes or anything /s
e; fixed a typo and added some words to make my point clearer
It never really existed to begin with, it’s just a face saving fiction for both Israel and Hamas to say “actually we got exactly what we wanted out of this and sure showed those other guys so we can declare victory now”, but Israeli soldiers will continue murdering Palestinians when they feel like it and Hamas will continue lobbing rockets at iron domes to remind everyone they exist and nothing will have changed except 40,000+ Palestinians are dead now
Leopards
Because Israeli soldiers murdering children (archived) totally didn’t happen under prior administrations /s
It’s a scenario that was so concerning to Washington state Rep. Sharlett Mena that she introduced legislation that would make uninvited deployments of out-of-state troops illegal. Her bill cleared a committee last week and has the backing of Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson, who pushed for the proposal in his inaugural address last month.
…
But, as she noted to her colleagues last week, if Trump were to federalize National Guard units, there’s nothing the state could do to prevent it; a presidential order preempts state authority.
If I was that persons attorney I would advise them not to answer this question
It is unclear whether Trump will go ahead with his proposal or, in keeping with his
self-image as a shrewd dealmakerpattern of being a manipulative bullshitter who doesn’t care whether anything he says is true or not, has simply laid out an extreme position as a . [sic, sentence ends here in original]
Yeah, random Reuters reporter, I probably would have needed to stop writing that sentence right there to go throw up in self disgust too.
His first term in 2017-21 was replete with what
critics said were over-the-top foreign policy pronouncementsany objective observer would call “lies”, many of which were never implemented.
I feel like he’s going to make a big show out of being shitty to Palestinians because that’s what his voters want, but I feel like his administration is going to have a hard time finding anything to do to them the previous administration didn’t already allow to happen. We’ve been at the point of dropping bombs on bombed out rubble for months already.
My last comment here got determined to be “misinformation” and removed, so let me try to just state my opinion and avoid any factual claims -
I feel like Trump did say a stupid thing. I feel like the stupid thing Trump said here won’t actually be implemented, but only because actually occupying Palestine with American troops would be extremely costly and Trump’s allies in the area wouldn’t actually gain anything from it they don’t already have. I feel like the Trump administration does want to find some way to make the lives of Palestinians worse that they can show to their voters, but I feel like they will struggle to find any policies that make things much worse than Israel and the Biden administration has already made their lives.
I don’t feel like that makes what Trump is saying or doing acceptable. However, I feel like many people don’t recognize how bad it has already been for Palestinians because of the actions of the prior administration. Moreover, I feel like elected Dems need to condemn the prior administatrion’s actions if we are going to build the sort of political coalition that can win elections and give us an administration that will be willing and able to hold Israel accountable for what I feel is an ongoing genocide.
Wonderful, thank you for collecting and posting all these!
