Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....
FDR was not a socialist and the New Deal was a compromise from the existing capitalist power structure in order to harness and then diffuse the growing socialist energy in the country. It's a huge reason the New Deal focused so much on highway expansion instead of public transportation.
The protests that aren't oppressed are the ones that are utterly ineffective. Think flash in the pan pussy hat protests, that are more about making the participants feel good about themselves than actually forcing change.
If a protest has the capability to last and continue bringing their issue to the forefront it will be met with oppression.
Hamas isn't even in the West Bank yet Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered there in 2022, while clearly marked as a journalist. There are so many incidents I could pull up as examples of indiscriminate killings but your ignorance is not worth my time.
It's not because he personally wants to, go check what he's on the record as saying his entire career. This isn't something to applaud, this is him trying to avoid political blowback. You think we should stop applying pressure because of a single descision?
Hard to celebrate anything with so much money stolen from the American people and so many Palestinians dead.
This is shameful and the fact that Trump is worse is no excuse, raise your expectations. There are ongoing protests being violently repressed and all Biden has to say about it is "law and order", wake up.
The government is changing their tune, as intended ... You argue until the other side is convinced, which we are in the middle of doing and succeeding at.
Oh there is no other option, but that wasn't my point. Republicans extremism allows the Democrats to continue to fail the American people in a ratchet effect. It's a slow slide into Fascism instead of a fast one. Isreal has been killing the Palestinian people and forcing them to seek asylum since the country's inception. Weapons to Isreal are weapons to kill the native population, it's what colonizers do.
Allowing lip service to pacify the publics awareness only plays into their favor. That is my point. Don't make excuses for them.
Solo at least had a coherent plot with multiple memorable performances. Donald Glover and Woody Harrelson both were a ton of fun whenever on screen. Adam Driver carried the ST but Kylo's Redemption arc in Rise was boring.
Solo just really suffered because everyone was so burnt out from the sequel trilogy just failing on so many levels. I didn't bother seeing it until years after release.
Walken was fine for me. The emperor played a smaller role in the film anyway.
The real miscast and the only problem in what is quite possibly one of the best adaptations we will ever see: Brolin as Gurney and Momoa as Idaho. They had the right actors in the wrong roles. I just don't understand how you could flip those two pivotal characters like that. I really don't think Momoa will be able to pull of a good mentat in the 3rd film.
I found this an extremely realistic, thoughtful perspective on why unions are gaining momentum and how we can continue to win back power for ourselves and our communities.
Iran said it launched dozens of drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel on Saturday in a major attack following days of acute tension building up in the region and warnings from the US and elsewhere about a wider conflict erupting....
The US just tried to negotiate with Houthis over the attacks in the Red Sea, an omission admission that things aren’t going so well. Iran is in a stronger position than Houthis, I think your over estimating the US right now.
“All they are trying to do is convince us that there is some kind of movement toward where we want,” Siblani said. “But it’s too slow and it’s dragging. It’s more death and casualties that are happening.”...
Dan Koh, deputy director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, said the administration wants “to make sure we’re as accessible as possible.” “We understand that some people do not want to engage. We respect that,” he said. “But we think that the people who have engaged have felt that it was a fruitful discussion.”
“Why isn’t our good good words convincing people?!”
Stoked that a studio with major credit switched from Unity to Gadot. This will be the biggest release the game engine has seen and is sure to break every record. Hopefully it will make other studios seriously consider the engine and in 5 or 6 years Gadot will be the equivalent to Blender.

Really shitty for you to blame the victims of something like this. There is a lot of propaganda in America and that applies both to the people voting for Republicans and liberals not holding Democrats accountable, like you’re doing right now.
Biden broke a rail strike that was largely about both pay and worker safety in 2022. East Palestine happened 3 months later and if you don’t understand the connection I don’t know what to tell you.

That’s exactly what should happen. I don’t know why you think supporting Biden would get us that outcome though.
as you seem oddly focused on Biden.
You asked me to be specific, and then said I was oddly focused on him? Both parties are failing the people of East Palestine, my original point is its disingenuous to blame the victims when who they voted for wouldn’t have changed their situation.
Biden didn’t even push the EPA to declare an emergency in East Palestine to help get residents Medicare coverage. He is on the side of the rail owners even if he likes to say he’s pro labor. How can you push him if you’re unwilling to acknowledge this?
You’re getting your emergencies mixed up. Yes for a FEMA emergency a request must be made by the governor, an FDA public health emergency is not the same and is at the sole discretion of the FDA. Easy to mix up, but you misunderstood me, this is also covered in the article.
What gets lost in media spin is Biden has just as much power to force the rail companies to accept terms of the union memebers as he did to shut down a strike.
It was also only after East Palestine threw mud on his face that his administration really hustled to get the meager contract they got. Compair the 4 days of sick leave Biden and Union leaders called a huge win for rail workers to Seattle’s city wide 1 hour of sick leave earned for every 30 hours worked that Socialist Kashama Sawant pushed democrats on city council to the left on in 2012.
