This headline is dishonest. After being punched in the face by a cop for trying to comfort her father as their family's house burned down, she was also charged with a felony.

The U.S. is resuming a shipment of 500-pound bombs to Israel that had been held up since May, when the Biden administration suspended delivery of two types of weaponry amid concerns about the ballooning scale of civilian casualties in Gaza, officials said.

Heres a gift article detailing how NYC law firms are attempting to silence student supporters of Gaza by threatening their future employment. And of course the company helping them do this is named HireRight.

I want to be honest with you and say that most people: 1. Don't fight. 2. If they do fight, it's only for a short while. Knowing this doesn't make you a cynic but a realist. The work continues and we do our best to try to bring more people along.

Look at what the Democrats have been doing in GA with Cop City. Pure fascist tactics. True on its face. And millions of Democrats have no clue and some who do can't perceive the fascist tactics. I understand how frustrating that is.

If you've already known for like 25 years that some groups in the U.S. have already experienced living under USian fascism and your FedBook friend Jane is posting nonstop about fascism being on the way and Project 2025 existing, I understand your frustration. But alas, we need more people to fight.

I too used to be an 'oh, NOW you care' person when I was younger. I was profoundly annoyed with ppl who didn't "understand" what I already knew & then all of a sudden started caring. Then I realized that was a ME issue, not at all about them. EYE was annoyed while THEY were coming to consciousness.

I agree with this and I also really don't like that it's true because I don't believe in "good" people. But what OP said is the way to actually move people towards where you want them to move.

Noticing bad things years ago is left-wing. Noticing them when it's too late to do anything about is centrist. Ignoring them is right-wing.

People are wrong about more important things all the time, but I still remember the guy who very confidently told us a month or two ago that there would not be a clear winner in the Drake/Kendrick beef because both of them are too established.

If it's any consolation, organizer friends in AZ, NV, GA, already had these states as leaning R weeks ago. Nothing to do about the debate but about Biden and the campaign more broadly. I shared this #onhere a few weeks back and mentioned that they were doubling down on the upper Midwest.
