No one can address every tragedy. We can’t keep chastising or even calling out people who don’t mention Palestine in every discussion. I mean, I never hear anyone say anything or plead for any calls to action about the genocide going on in Africa, over terrorism & territory too, for example…
It's not just "any tragedy". Yes, there are other genocides and war crimes in the world, but people are protesting this one the most right now because this administration is aiding and abetting it.
You don’t know anything at all about the one going on in Africa or other places, do you? This administration has always partnered with Israel. They have continually urged Ben to be prudent in his rescue & retaliation effort, despite trumps interference). Speaking of, you think Trump admin would do better? Sitting out this vote or not voting for them b/c of this one issue sure helps Trump who has allegedly violated the Logan act by directly communicating w/Ben telling him not to agree to any ceasefires. He’s telling Ben to wipe them all out. And he’s promised that protests would be stopped by the National Guard. If he’s back in the office, the Palestinian supporters won’t even get to protest.
Also: Let us not forget that Israel was attacked by terrorist who still have some of their people hostage and is still attacking them too w/weapons from Iran.
No one agrees with the recklessness of how Ben is fighting back, but it’s unfair to say this administration is helping them with the intent of committing genocide by giving them weapons to fight terrorism.
Ie; If I give a homeless person money for food and they go buy drugs, am I aiding drug use? No, I tried to aid a hungry human. I cannot control what that person does with what I give them. I could go buy them food. They may trade it for drugs/drug money. I can’t babysit them.
I know what my intent of giving the money was for, but I cannot make them use it that way & I cannot be held accountable for how they used it. The blame for what’s happening lies with Ben.
LOl, triggered much? If you care so much about violating U.S. law, what about the Leahy Law? We are clearly in violation by continuing to support this genocide. Your comparison is ridiculously childish. If you gave a homeless person money and they used it for drugs, how many hundreds of times do you keep giving them the money, before you catch on that they're going to do it again? If you tell someone to stop bombing people, but keep giving them bombs, you are culpable. You don't fight terrorism by dropping 2000 lb. bombs on refugees in tents.
You can throw all the "supporting evidence" of your argument that you want. When the writer referred to the authoritarian right and its hijacking and warping the meaning of "freedom," he was talking about YOU.
Spot on, and many constitutional scholars agree that major revisions are needed in the Constitution, as its contradictions and compromises are ill-serving the US of the 21st Century.
Completely and totally disagree. The "convention" , actually a CORONATION was targeted to brain dead Government Supremacists , Fascists, Socialists and fruit cakes:.
WE THE PEOPLE , those who support freedom , the Constitution (1787) and Capitalism were summarily excluded.
1- We DO NOT support QueMala's decision to allow 15,000,000+ unvetted illegals into our country ;
2- WE do not support your decision to ban gasoline , coal and LPG
3- We do not support your decison to force us to drive EVs
4- We do NOT support your decision to confiscate our firearms
5- we do NOT support your decision to start a nuclear WW3 against Russia
5- We do NOT support your decision to digitize our currency so that you can see how we spend OUR money
6- We do not support the Communistic decision to inflate the FK out of the currency then imposing price controls upon our businesses thereby preventing them from compensating for the government's misbehavior.
They have an entirely different reality, glued together from various right wing extremist media and nonsense. We can’t even argue against it, because it isn’t true to begin with, and it doesn’t have logic. It’s like arguing if the grass is or isn’t green. All we can do is shake our heads and out-vote them.
just give me some examples of your examples. I've actually looked into all of these claims. Find me ONE democrat who advocates confiscation of your firearms, for example. Unless you think that fun things like prevention of felons from having arms (not to mention abusers) is just too much of an imposition on your rights. As militiaman, of course. Or is your source "trust me, bro?"
6- We do not support the Communistic decision to inflate the FK out of the currency then imposing price controls upon our businesses thereby preventing them from compensating for the government's misbehavior.
Your links that work don’t support your propositions. One is only an opinion. Buybacks are not the same as confiscation and certainly automatic weapons are not “all weapons.” Supporting Ukraine is not a decision to start a nuclear war. She is not talking price controls—she is talking an emergency proposition that numerous states already have on their books. The “digital assets” thing is about cryptocurrency. No one is talking about eliminating greenbacks. The open borders thing is pure right wing propaganda. If there really were open borders there would be no such thing as a border patrol nor immigration courts. And in fact, while crossing the border is a crime, (with a verified asylum claim as an affirmative defense) simply BEING in the US undocumented (as when overstaying a visa) is NOT a crime and hasn’t been for forever—it’s a civil offense. Sorry if you don’t like the statutes, but that’s what they say.
This person exemplifies what I was going to say, that unfortunately what we think of dystopian is what many (but not most people) want. It is evident that there are those who attacked the Capitol to stop the transfer of power. There are people who are Americans who wanted to hang Pence.
There are people who call Kamala QueMala (I don’t get the pun).
There are people who make up stuff as this writer does.
We are all Americans, including those that want to ban books and diminish education so that it will be easier to manipulate the future generations.
>>>>>>>This person exemplifies what I was going to say, that unfortunately what we think of dystopian is what many (but not most people)<<<<<<<
I provided the LINKS showing that my accusations are grounded in facts. I am an American who does NOT want the US to become another SOCIALIST shithole like Venezuela or Somalia .
But if you believe that Socialism , Venezuela and Somalia are paradaisical then we are done talking .
From the title of this piece, I expected you to be addressing the exclusion ofPalestinian voices.
Their exclusion is part of the silence around massive daily genocide, funded with an ongoing blank check from our taxes.
The rest of the piece is quite satisfying. Thank you.

Triggered? The lol. Sigh… There goes any hope of having a mature adult conversation.
Have a good day.
First of all your puppy is darling- secondly this is one of the best articles ever-thank you -thoughtful and on point

The above comment was intended as a reply to Contumacious, not Oliver.
nice. Keep Kal El coming.
We come for the truth-telling; we stay for the doggie burrito 🌯 😋
Great. But Kamala is of South Asian descent, not East Asian.
"...they failed on execution."
Spot on, and many constitutional scholars agree that major revisions are needed in the Constitution, as its contradictions and compromises are ill-serving the US of the 21st Century.
Great article and 😍😍😍🐾🌯

WE THE PEOPLE OBJECT.
As none of that is true, your lack of support lacks, well, meaning.
They have an entirely different reality, glued together from various right wing extremist media and nonsense.

yep. I found his "support" really amusing.
WUT?
Tell me consigliere, did they offer to make you the AG?

You really are in a bubble.
Yup , you are really seeking to be the AG of the Demon Rat's weaponized DOJ
Why else would you suborn perjury ?!?!?!?!?!?
