Potemkin pier collapses -- what better metaphor for a failed state?
"Strong waves break up US military’s" Gaza pier.
The US effort "has collapsed after strong waves broke up a temporary pier that took $320m dollars & 1,000 US soldiers to construct". It lasted just over a week.
"The Pentagon says it will replace the pier but it is unclear when."

This is how we won a lot of anti-LGBT ballot initiatives over the past few decades: keeping them from ever qualifying for the ballot.
Keeping them off the ballot keeps them from being money-makers, win or lose. These things are cash machines for the Christian authoritarians, fundamentalists, and fash, but they don't rake in the real bucks until the fall campaigns.
And if they can't make money at it, they tend to go off and find some other way to do it.
Lon Mabon, who made a career out of torturing queer people with public hate and initiative campaigns, built a whole family business out of it. And it worked great until we started keeping him off ballot.
I think the one reason why I’m voting enthusiastically for the fuckers facilitating genocide is this: the last fucker tried a coup and wants to get rid of any checks on his power.
I would like to be able to vote again in 2 years. Things can get worse, and they absolutely will get much worse for literally everyone under a Republican administration.
What you're doing here is truly sickening. You're trying to convince people who care about Palestinians to cause terrible harm to Palestinians, by electing Trump.
You're supporting a party that claims "there are very few innocent Palestinian citizens," and supports vaporizing all 2 million people in Gaza "like Hiroshima and Nagasaki."
Right-wing journalists in #Israel celebrate and joke about the fire in #Rafah that burned dozens of civilians to death. Even the IDF called it a tragic loss of life.
These people are unfathomably evil. And the Republican Party is every bit as evil as they are. Please, please do not let these monsters control the US government. Humanity will pay a terrible price.
"Health-care experts and medical studies have found that racist myths about Black people … coupled with physicians’ biases, mean Black patients are more likely to be seen as drug-seeking and described negatively in electronic medical records."

When Cristian Nationalists tell you they think a child born of rape can be part of God's plan but an abortion can not-then they are admitting they worship a god that sends rapists but not doctors.
