I got called a genocide supporting murderer for saying maybe Biden wasn’t committing genocide.
I wonder where those people were during Bucha and Mariupol.
Sure have a lot of righteous anger for somebody staying silent last year.
All genocide is a crime.
But maybe temper your righteous screaming of genocide to those committing genocide. You can call Biden complicit in genocide if you want but if you say I’m guilty of genocide because I don’t think its so easy to blame Biden for Netanyahu’s blatant crimes (or vote for Trump out of the spite, the guy who will nuke Palestinians as well as put Latin Americans in death camps), I’m going to say you’re complicit for not stopping the genocide on Ukrainians. Or in Myanmar. I’m not a fan of Biden starving Ukraine of weapons or his support of Netanyahu or weapon supplies to Israel once the babies started dying. Still better than Trump. PS resistance doesn’t involve rape. PPS Yes, I’m whatabouting your whatabout.
Another fascist war recorded
We have two videos recorded, will drop tomorrow or Friday.
Very nice, very WW2.
Finished reading the Achilles Trap.
3.5/5. Have a read. The end seems rushed. Maybe there wasn’t enough material to peruse. I found the story of Saddam’s son-in-law who fled the country and then came back the most interesting as a parallel to Prigozhin’s rebellion.
More macho morons
If there isn’t enough war in your life

Cisjordanie indeed.
More Cisjordanie
Prof. Jeremy Pressman wrote a researched, footnoted piece entitled "Visions in Collision: What Happened at Camp David and Taba?" that pushes back on this oversimplified narrative of the Clinton-era diplomatic negotiations between Israel and Palestinians. We'll dig into all the different areas of the 2000 Camp David Summit as well as dealing with the pre-history of it, specifically the Oslo Accords and the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin.

I have thought a lot about motherhood since the Dobbs decision made it a requirement rather than a decision in too many states. Its “terrible responsibilities” are not something the government should foist on unwilling women—but that’s the future the GOP, led by misogynist men on the outside (the adjudicated rapist at the top of the ticket) and on the inside (Leonard Leo and his cabal of weirdos), will birth in a second Trump term.
