The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It. The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegseth’s lust for “lethality.”

I'm about to call and leave another message and tell him about a family I know who are being harassed and threatened by their landlord, who says he will call ICE on them if they don't pay

Does it matter that their visas are legit? Not when they racially profile you and dump you somewhere else.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

This “it’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…

Marco Rubio invoked a medieval antisemitic trope in justifying war with Iran It's deceptive and conspiratorial to suggest that Israel forced the US into this conflict

Please stick to the topic. Are you saying Kamala Harris believed in Jewish racial superiority? That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard today.

Tell AIPAC what? Where did AIPAC say that the candidates were the same?
Kamala Harris was supportive of Israel, sure, and AIPAC funds all politicians who do so. But that doesn't mean all candidates are the same, not by a long shot.

If you are ignorant of the beliefs regarding Israel of the evangelical right (including the people in government in the US right now), I highly suggest you educate yourself.

You Can’t Be Both a Zionist and a Kamala Harris Supporter - The Commentator The anniversary of Oct. 7, the date upon which Hamas brutally murdered 1,200 people and took over 250 hostages, was just upon us. The only thing that should have been discussed by our so-called leader...

They are hugely different, both in belief and in action. Everyone, except you apparently, can see it, even Zionists: share.google/2bsixbevvCB8...

Defeat the evangelical right's preferred candidate by voting massively against the frontrunner on the other side, even if they were supportive of Israel.

The main takeaway I'm getting here is that if a transgender woman gets angry on the Internet then all transgender people must be made to answer for this crime

Ακριβώς. Η ιδέα ότι η σημερινής Ρωσία είναι ένα έθνος "με ιστορία" είναι εξίσου ένα επινοημενο αφήγημα με αυτό τις σημερινής Ουκρανίας.

True, we also had plenty of those in Greece during our debt crisis who wanted a total break with EU institutions. I think it's wrong to malign them too much, though, as the alternatives were pretty bad. Same in the US, the risk-it-all people are responding to real systemic issues, not imaginary.

Problem is that even small differences can have disproportionately large effects (especially in the absence of strong societal control systems, of which the US has very few). Also, people didn't notice that the republican party is eroded by Trump and no longer overlaps with the democratic as much.

δεν με πειράζει τόσο το "κατά τα άλλα" όσο η εγκατάλειψη του, που φαίνεται να γίνεται όλο και πιο διαδεδομένη. Στο βρετανικό κοινοβούλιο χθες άκουσα πολλές φορές να λένε για το "so called international law" και πόσο στα @@ τους ήταν. Ο Στάρμερ προσπάθησε να κρατήσει τους τύπους βέβαια.

But I totally agree they fucked up massively at the ballot box, as a group. Tragically.

I am not saying that we don't have a moral choice, but I disagree that it's at the ballot box. One moral choice is which collective you decide to strengthen its ranks with. plenty of immoral choices to choose from today, unfortunately, but the "no genocide" group's not one of them.

I agree. My point is definitely that they are idiots. As are most people when their group moves in any direction, right or wrong. I don't necessarily exclude myself either from this.

Sure, we all know that Trump will be bad or worse than KΗ, but for some, strengthening the Left was a more important objective than maintaining some basic US foreign policy standards. Did they get closer to their objective? No, they underestimated Trump badly and have failed miserably.

that's an assumption that fits nicely with the totalising US (and British)political system, but even there, I think, inaccurate. Society is complicated and in elections as well as elsewhere groups fight to achieve incongruous objectives not to solve a single set of equations.

2) a very human inability of those voters to go against their group's chosen plan in light of the indications it might be a blunder.
