The United Nations has voted 124-14 in support of the International Court of Justice ruling, demanding Israel withdraw from its occupation of Palestine.

Trump has the power from outside of political office to start pogroms against immigratns and trans ppl, but Kamala & Biden have no power to stop them while in office already. Oh bother

This is clipping is from 1987

its so in your face and our leaders in the US not only look the other way, they provide aid, comfort, and pay for it at our expense

Alec Karakatsanis:
"The Democratic Party platform presents such a profound crisis if we have any hope of avoiding fascism.

Harris & other Dems would essentially only need to say that they will condition aid to Israel on compliance w/ international law. The refusal to say something so simple presents a point of no return, for a few reasons.

Here is an image..the entire infrastructure (schools, hospitals, water, history, etc) destroyed, and many thousands kidnapped, raped, tortured, maimed...

...People are taught that genocide is singular. It is a unique horror that trumps all. And so, once it is embraced..What more can be said or done with those who do genocide? This is one reason the current moment is such a profound crisis...anyone who tells you that this is just abt a single issue doesn't know history, doesn't understand how fascism works, how the awe-inspiring architecture of violence, control,& power it takes to insist on a lie this big, & what that portends" -Alec Karakatsanis

...Every day pundits on #ApartheidIsraeli TV call for genocide that spares no one, soldiers/settlers smiling & dancing while poisoning wells, lynching, raping prisoners on video, blocking aid trucks, arresting people for social media posts, sniping children in the head, etc.

Instead of stopping this--by simply stopping to fund and arm it--the U.S. has done a series of depraved public relations stunts...

This is fascism: brazenly violating the law, but unfurling msgs to the masses like this:

they didnt even change the Biden references or the Biden-Harris stuff, just lazy

i guess Kamala saw my post & decided to drop the biden platform as her own, ratified today at DNC w/o change, but theres at least 1 horrible addition like the one below.
Day one of #DNC had a lot of hoopla but as far as policy, instead of adopting the MN progressive agenda that Walz helped to pass, we got the Biden agenda ratified. A status quo manifesto that doesnt begin to tackle the problems we have all been warned about

Kamala is running a Rorschach test campaign where progressives see The New Deal and centrist see a pro-business #CorpoDem

What i see is a candle in the wind trying never to blow out, shifting and sputtering in any direction that keeps their power strongest

Kamala has yet to put up a platform after 29dys in charge. People are trusting vibes, going with the flow & i cant figure out why they would trust her when her entire career says, i have been bought. Picking Walz was a masterful con, making everyone believe that she is for the agenda he helped pass in MN, when all she has done in the last month is flip flop on every 'progressive' idea she ever endorsed. No one will belive me till after Dems lose 2026 & cant pass bills

“Maybe the first thing a Harris administration does is act on Walz’s stated top priority & push for paid family leave. But I’m not in my idealistic 20s anymore — I’m in my realistic 40s, which means I remember what happened the last time I dared to hope.”

Trump recently embraced no tax on tips in a Nevada rally speech, today GOP senators Ted Cruz, Rick Scott, Steve Daines & Kevin Cramer just introduced the “No Tax on Tips Act.” They probably did this knowing someone will kill it, but who wants that smoke in an election year? Joe Biden thats who, probably, i dont know this, but i have a feeling. Here is the bill text, mostly technical language, no hidden tricks i can see.

tips are bullshit & should be illegal to be 50%+ of a workers base pay, btw

This is trumps todo list for after he is elected. Lots of deportations planned, some for american citizens. What's clear to me is that whoever wins, they will criminalize dessent and protest, also being poor in public is outlawed. We will have to #Strike and #Boycott and find other civil disobedience ways to object. They are building/planning #CopCity all over the country to dramatically increase the enforcers of 'order'. Trump agrees, so does Biden, he has pledged 100,000 new cops in his budget
