@MSmedic601 @OneWeirdAngel @MillerStream @maddie1012 Our government is corrupt, our leaders are corrupt, our police forces are corrupt. Our labor is stolen, our pockets picked dry. Our votes are flipped, our treasury looted, and an officer of the law murders a black man - again. We are done. ✊

@MaxBlumenthal @yashalevine I didn't hear him deny the influence of the Israel lobby during that video. What he did claim was that Trump, Cheney, & Bush had agency & weren't 'tricked' into their warmongering. Neither of those racist crapitalists need urging to start a war.

That doesn’t place his gatekeeping above criticism. He attacked the BDS movement, argued vs one state, denies the massive power of the Israel lobby in US politics, and is calling the highest ranking US official to resign over a war since Vietnam a “lunatic.” I disagree with him on those points and have said so in person.

i don't know about this, max. norm was doing anti-zionism when it was economic suicide with no option B. no patreon, no youtube, no influencing, nothing.

@jareddavisoba @GoldRush808 @Gianl1974 When did you last live in Mexico? If you are relying on social media or the U.S. government for information about other nation states, you are a fool.

@GoldRush808 @Gianl1974 First of all, Mexico is an absolute corrupt evil monstrosity and needs to be freed. I am totally for invading Mexico and removing the regime and destroying the cartels and giving the nation back to its people. May the Lord destroy the powers in that nation.

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

@AJsaysOK @_rathbone It's super important to remember however, that although they work very hard to give appearances of actual elections, both parties are privately owned corporations & will remove any candidate they don't like from running, e. g. Bernie Sanders who had FAR & AWAY more votes.

@AJsaysOK @_rathbone There are tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Americans just waiting for that spark, many of them ready to be matyrd to get rid of this government. Likewise, just like any country, there are also a large number of dumb folks or straight narcissists.

You think the people who are forcing a live-streamed genocide of children down our throat are gonna lower the price of milk? You think the people who just bombed an elementary school killing 175 schoolgirls aged 6-12 are gonna allow you to vote away their power? You think this supranational shadow cabal of baby-eating parasites care if you can afford the price of gas?

@zeyne45912 @caitoz We didn't get a choice as we exited the birth canal: "Hey lil baby, it's time to come out, where U wanna go? 1. The U.S., 2. Israel, or 3. Gaza Pick one! Our life's experiences & derived empathy R a huge part of who we become in spite of our 'nationality'.

@caitoz nazism wasn't even one-thousandth as evil as the imperialists. i am sure you firmly believe that one can be a good imperialist. you're extremely stupid. i can't stomach you, i can't problem is your evil western civilization, not zionism, is a small part of it.

I don't believe you can be a good Zionist anymore than I believe someone can be a decent Nazi. The ideology itself describes a major character flaw. I cannot take seriously the idea that some ethnicities or religious groups are inherently prone to nefarious behavior; it goes against everything I've learned about the human condition over the course of my strange adventures on this planet. I absolutely do believe there are political ideologies whose adherents are universally dogshit people, though. If you've been watching the incineration of the Gaza Strip and thinking it's good, or thinking it's complicated, or thinking it's an unfortunate development that can be blamed on a few bad apples in the Israeli government but doesn't reflect Israel's nature as a whole, then you're a piece of shit. You're a horrible human being. It really is that simple. If you can look at Israel starting all these wars, bombing the fuck out of Iran and Lebanon and Palestine, passing laws to execute Palestinians exclusively while sparing Jews from the same sentencing for the same crimes, and still fail to recognize that the Israel experiment must be aborted, then you have not developed a functioning conscience. You have wasted your time on this earth. You have not managed to mature into a morally healthy human in all these years you've been alive. There are Zionists who are vegetarian, who are nice to their pets, who give money to charity — but there are no Zionists who are actually good people. John Wayne Gacy did charity clown shows for hospitalized children, but he was still a serial killer and a very bad man. His abusiveness eclipsed any other kindness he may have performed, and became his defining characteristic as an individual. Being a supporter of the Israel project is exactly the same. It doesn't matter what else you do with your life if you stand on the side of a man-made murder machine which is fueled by the blood of the innocent. You're just plain awful.

@dov_baer @caitoz This is what you call a 'rationalization'.

@caitoz Israel's enemies have killed millions in religious wars. The Muslim conquest of the Middle East and North Africa killed hundreds of millions. After centuries of oppression, Jews fight back now. If you don't want to be harmed by Jews, don't try to harm Jews. It's not complicated.

@KastelDavid @caitoz Correct. It may not be a moral issue, but it is a character flaw, in my opinion, to espouse belief in a 'God', in a world with many Gods & many religions. It is an escape hatch, no different than drugs.

@caitoz You need to re-think this portion. It's just wrong.

@jakeshieldsajj Norm is not just intelligent, but has a great deal of empathy. In order to truly understand human motivations, one must have a great deal of empathy. By that, I mean its true meaning: the ability to relate to the human condition. I'm more inclined to listen to his rationale.

The so called good jew is mad at Conspricay therorist blaming Israel for the JFK assassinations

@5thRing @VividVivka @GhostRat2 To be fair, when your born into a sh*tty world, that's what one might expect. Imagine there was a time when a corporation had a duty to their community. Yep, this happened in America decades ago. Corruption due to human self-interest has allowed massive monopolization & greed.

@VividVivka @GhostRat2 Entitlement mentality can make you miserable when you don't get what you believe you're owed, even though no one actually owes you anything.

I don’t know about you, but I’m so fucking sick of Enshitification. Having to rebuy cause it breaks as soon as it’s out of warranty, every new version being worse than the last, everything is buggy, everything is hacked every month, subscription services forever, all of our data is sold, everything is made cheap with plastic but still cost $100… The whole system is a series of micro-transactions so the 5 dudes at the top can get richer. So much money and time wasted to keep things functioning, meanwhile landfills are full of plastic trash. Not to be old on main, but remember when companies got customers via their quality? Remember when you bought something and you actually got what you paid for? Remember when shit actually worked?

@DannyKPolitics @MaxBlumenthal @PaliNewsNetwork He's speaking as a constituent to an elected official. I use the term 'elected' tongue-in-cheek, because U.S. elections are far from legit. While its true some are actual legit winners, once they've proven themselves useful to the oligarchy, they will never 'lose' again.

@MaxBlumenthal @PaliNewsNetwork Blumenthal, respectfully, as a white Jew, you need to sit the fuck down and stop assuming you represent the oppressed. You don’t. You are privileged and take space. Using your self-righteous maximalism to dismiss anyone but yourself as a voice against Israel. Sound familiar?

AOC had to be cornered by activists and publicly humiliated by influencers to make this "commitment" Her position had become untenable If she'd been authentically committed, she would have articulated a pro-BDS position on her own

@luke_tagle @ryangrim Yep, we all agree with him. Hamas IS a resistence group defending Palestinians from oppression and siege. How the fuk can anyone counter that?

@ryangrim Notice at no point did Ryan address any of the comments and ACTUAL statements that Hassan made. He made no counter arguments for why the things Hassan has said and done are acceptable, he simply laundered Hassan's views because he agrees with most of them. Shame.

Deeply irresponsible segment that asserts without pushback that Hasan “and his ilk” can not possibly have legitimate criticisms of Israel but are merely trying to smuggle their “Jew hatred” into the discourse in the guise of antisemitism. Not once is it mentioned that Israel just today implemented the death penalty but only for Palestinians. Good on Donie for getting Hasan’s response in there but the panel discussion and comments from Tapper are just obscene, especially today.

@Estril01 @rave4dave_O @ryangrim It's not 'your' party. It's a private corporate organization that does not represent you or me. Both their private org and that of the Republicans are sucking the U.S. dry & screwing over every citizen. JFC

@rave4dave_O @ryangrim Yeah. It's their party. Make your party if you want to elect tankies.

@sephius1999 Someone tell her that we were already losing jobs, healthcare, child care, welfare, etc. under freaking Obama. Hillary promised to continue the same, & Biden followed through on that promise. All Dems are corrupt capitalists, same as Republicans.

Y'all pushed Biden out over one issue, Gaza. ...and now you losing your jobs, farms, healthcare, child care service, science grants, grocery / energy prices increased, cuts to medicare / medicaid, ICE deportations, Iran War, and were in a recession. Gaza wasn't worth it.

@CrusenJohn @caitoz Well, not really. The issue isn't 'billionaires', it's human self-interest. It affects every single one of us. Capitalism encourages & reinforces this inherent trait. It ALWAYS leads to consolidation of wealth & power, because lawmakers are SELF-interested & can be bought.

@caitoz If capitalism ceases to exist, who do you think the enforcers would be? Would they be miraculously benevolent? Billionaires are not inherently evil. Politicians and government leaders would not become virtuous overnight in your socialist pipedream.

When we’re kids we play cops and robbers, and watch cartoons about evil criminals being stopped by virtuous crime fighters. Then when we mature we learn that all the most evil people are operating within the laws of our nation, and nobody ever sends them to jail. Ask a child to draw a Bad Guy and they’ll probably draw a bank robber, a thief, a supervillain, or somebody breaking the law in some way, because that’s what young people are trained to believe wickedness looks like in their world. They won’t usually draw a politician, a billionaire, a media mogul, a tech plutocrat, a warmonger, or any of the rich and powerful people who are causing the real suffering in our world. The ones who impose laws upon our society ensuring the continuation of poverty, inequality, war, oppression and tyranny. The ones destroying our ecosystem and poisoning our minds with empire propaganda. We give kids an infantile view of the world where the villains look like bandits and the heroes look like superpowered crimefighters and GI Joe. Which in a sense is understandable — no parent wants their young child exposed to the real horrors which exist in this civilization. You wouldn’t tell a six year-old that we are ruled by psychopaths who make the most sadistic serial killers look like cuddly little Pikachus. The problem is that far too many adults never grow out of this worldview. Post a video of police brutality online and they’ll come crawling out of the woodwork frantically defending whatever monstrous act it reveals, no matter how self-evidently damning the footage might be. Oppose the latest war propaganda narrative and they’ll come falling all over themselves in a mad scramble to tell you the government would never lie to us and the Evil Regime of the Day definitely needs to be overthrown via US airstrikes. They never unlearned the cartoons they ingested as children. They still think the struggle of good versus evil is a struggle of lawbreakers versus law-upholders. They never learned that there are many kind and decent people in prison, and that all the most horrific abuses in history have been perfectly legal under the law of the land. Genocides are legal under the governments who authorize them. Wars are legal under the governments who wage them. Capitalist exploitation, imperialist extraction, oligarchic corruption and ecocide for profit are all legal under the governments who pass laws making them possible. The police never show up to arrest the men who do these things. The police show up to arrest anyone who tries to stop them. The law doesn’t exist to protect ordinary people from the most malignant members of our society, the law exists to protect the most malignant members of society from ordinary people. A mature understanding of the world clearly recognizes this. And it’s the exact inverse of the understanding of the world we are indoctrinated into as children. The real villains of our world look like the powerful plutocrats and empire managers who are inflicting unfathomable suffering upon the innocent. The real heroes look like the brave revolutionaries and truth-tellers who work to dismantle the power structure that those tyrants wield against the rest of us. Becoming a real grown up means recognizing that the monsters were never under your bed. They were standing in broad daylight wearing expensive suits and ruling the world.

@PerryHQuattro @LongTimeHistory The point isn't what could happen, but that you want something high up in the sky to be FAR safer than something you drive on the roads. An engine failure should NEVER occur.

@LongTimeHistory Planes are built to fly with one Engine, in case of emergency. Y’all need to calm down

Delta airplane engine explodes after takeoff—flying from Brazil to Atlanta. U.S. FAA is gov't authority to last certify this plane safe to fly. Trump Administration got rid of 1200 FAA workers by firing or buyout—including maintenance mechanics. "We're going to die!" kids cry. "The plane is on fire!" passengers yell out. Pilots declared an emergency, kept the climb low, and returned safely to São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport—with no injured passengers. Brazilian government agency, CENIPA, has now taken charge of the official safety investigation and post-incident inspection of the aircraft.

@W0k0Illan @AbubakerAbedW Hey, its a racist on X. Smile racist.

@AbubakerAbedW All are TERRORISTS. All should hang. The first ones should be those that crossed over into Israel on Oct 7 and are still alive. They should hang on day 1 and publically.

Hamas Statement following the passing of the execution law: The Israeli Knesset's approval of the law executing Palestinian prisoners reflects an unprecedented level of criminality and a blatant disregard for all humanitarian and international laws and covenants. For the occupation, which has previously executed hundreds of prisoners under the weight of torture and medical neglect inside its prisons, is today seeking to provide legal cover for a crime that already exists, by legislating their direct execution, in an overt attempt to liquidate the issue of the prisoners. And in practice, the occupation has never hesitated to commit field executions, having executed tens of thousands of our people's civilians in the streets, homes, hospitals, and schools, without trial, with premeditation, and without even bothering to justify this terrorist behaviour.

@JesterJum @TraditionSarah @Jwood5050 The number of actual 'lazy' people is higher amongst the wealthy than the poor. But, Republicans can't deligitimize the very people donating to their re-election campaigns, so, the poor are the new 'target'. Now, the target is immigrants. Suddenly you are all batsh*t pissed off.

@JesterJum @TraditionSarah @Jwood5050 The real issue for you & most, if not all, 'conservatives' is resentment. You despise having to work 9-5, despise the massive fees from the private sector & govt., thus you lash out at the bogeyman. Corrupt career officials create a false bogeyman to ensure you vote for them.

Maybe groceries are so expensive because 42 million people get theirs for free 🤔 Just a thought.

@bellengj @DrJillStein @ProudSocialist @ButchWare You're missing a few cards in the deck.

@DrJillStein @ProudSocialist @ButchWare You're cozying up to Putin in 2016 greatly helped Donald Trump and hurt Hillary Clinton. That means you are partially to blame for the American people not getting the things you say they should have.

10 years ago the DNC rigged its primary against Bernie via superdelegates, media collusion & backroom deals singlehandedly exposing that the “Democratic” party is NOT democratic at all. The worst part is Bernie went along with it instead of building an alternative to the duopoly.
