Pushing this "Biden and Trump are the same" trope is incredibly damaging to efforts at keeping any thread of democracy alive in the US. Infighting and division among those who by all rights should be united against the looming tsunami of fascism is akin to shooting holes in the bottom of a sinking boat.

Biden has a lot of faults, but he's not promising to militarily deport millions, destroy public education, impose religious doctrine across the board, etc.

Sometimes frank simplicity is best. This super popular @PamelaBarroway reply nails it! WTG Pamela!

"Biden is truly the only choice in November if we want our country to remain a #democracy. An easy way to make a difference and help re-elect #Biden — especially if you don’t have free time and / or don’t want to volunteer — is to donate to the #BidenHarris2024 campaign, monthly or as a one-off (I’m a monthly donor). #voteblue"

If you like forced opposition you don't really like democracy.

Dems are still bringing a knife to a gunfight *passive, not combative. M Obama's: 'when they go low, we go high' doesn't work with dom. terrorists.

Biden has responded to 's escalating threats against with a desperate desire to present an image & leadership style that's “reasonable” &“responsible” & emphasizes public policy successes. Being boring, nice, & passive will not help Biden/Dems defeat TFG/ mvt. Pol scientist MS Fish agrees.

Alito & Thomas: racists & fascists, want to end :

"Thomas signals he'd end democracy if he could.

Overturning equal pop. reqs. would enable a level of gerrymandering far beyond today's most X maps.

Lawmakers could gerrymander perm. majorities, & the GOP dominates most ST legs. today."
-S Wolf

"Thomas' opinion calls on the SC to overturn the entire line of redistricting precedents, incl. Baker v Carr -est. "1 person, 1 vote" *says fed cts. never have authority to redraw dists."

there is an historical reason for germany to support israel:

germany aka formerly known as west germany has never reviewed its tight collaboration with apartheid south africa

when most other countries had already turned their back on apartheid south africa, it was west germany which breached every embargo and did business with the apartheid regime

given the current situation in palestine, germany is forced to deal with the lie underpinning its very existence: that germany allegedly has learned from its nazi past, and that germany thus has become a democratic, anti-racist country

it's hard to step away from a feeling of superiority rn

Good initiative taken by the people to preserve Palestinian culture before it gets completely eroded.

A cozy family-run Palestinian restaurant in Saint Gilles which aims at educating about Gaza’s culture through food.

A church of Scotland was receiving donation money from slavery and even refused to apologise for such sinful offence. Ironic isn't it?

The Free Church of Scotland has been accused of “shameful” behaviour after it refused to apologise for receiving money from slavery worth millions of pounds today.

Ah, I remember when I lived in the UK the excitement of hearing the news that a General Election had been called.

To be replaced a few minutes later by the realisation that FPTP is still the voting system.

@chestas
Such a ridiculous situation which allows for a government to be elected by a minority of people.

It also feeds the myth that a vote for anyone other than the two main parties is a wasted vote.

GOP SCJs' racism:

"Judge Carlton Reeves' latest vivisection of "qualified immunity"—which lets violent & corrupt cops escape accountability—is nested in a broader critique of the SC's cynical & selective reliance on "democracy" to nullify our civil rights.

It takes a lot of courage for a lower ct judge to criticize the SC, but Judge Reeves has long felt a responsibility to speak candidly to the public re threats to their civil rights."
