"Representative Andy Ogles is making headlines over flippant remarks he made regarding the harrowing conflict in Palestine, saying in a recently released clip that America should help “kill ’em all.”
How do people feel about the ACLU representing the NRA in their first amendment case? Legitimately curious about people’s thoughts, especially if you’re a 2A leftist 👀
IDF: “Media around the world rushed to publish news headlines about Hamas without checking the facts. We now know that an Islamic Jihad missile aimed at Israel misfired and ended up in a hospital in the Gaza Strip.” #AureFreePress#News#Israel#gaza#Hamas
Calling people who say they fear a remapping of the Middle East “conspiracy theorists” is wild. You don’t even need to read history, just look at the way most of the world is talking about Arabs right now. It’s a valid fear.
@alissaazar when it comes from the same people who have a problem with Russia remapping Ukraine but think the Israeli GOVERNMENT has a right to push Palestinians out! It’s not about anti colonialism.
The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza as part of its campaign to stamp out Hamas terrorism. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. It is what my community once endured in World War II, all because of the actions of others who happened to share our ethnicity. Have we learned nothing? How will this possibly help deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.
Republicans are seeking to gain political advantage from a terrorist attack by falsely linking the Iranian prisoner deal with the attack by Hamas in Gaza and taking shots at President Biden.
I remember a time, not too long ago, when American foreign policy was a bipartisan matter, and where we rallied around our leaders rather than try to tear them down in time of crisis. We need to return to that era so that we can be the United States of America to the rest of the world.
@georgetakei with the gop reducing the human rights of minorities/nonwhite Christian males. We are NOT the (united) states of America and never have been.
@Radical_EgoCom@RonahsArk@caitp omg I feel so much better about my financial future now that mush burned 100 million. Thankfully mush is such a great socialist to continue having the workers join in the prosperity. 69lol
I know mastodon has issues, I know the fediverse is basically a prototype of what it could be. I know it’s annoying when people are snobby about masto despite its faults.
But for real, if we want this shit to succeed, we’ve got to also love what is good here and be growing it. That doesn’t mean yelling about how all other social media sites suck. It means focusing on what we’re getting right here, listening carefully to complaints, and putting a little energy into solving problems
@seachanger took me a second to get fully into mastodon but I’m really liking it. Basically had to figure out how to search for topics people and info I’m interested in compared to being spoon feed by an algorithm that a capitalist machine was feeding me.
