  • Trump will give Israel ‘blank check’ which may mean all-out war with Iran, says ex-CIA chief

    Jump

  • Biden has talked about ceasefires for a year now, and proven it's just talk. Israel has crossed so many red lines it's impossible to keep count, all with no consequences. Harris said she wouldn't change a thing and her campaign made sure people knew she didn't support an arms embargo on Israel. You can gaslight yourself all you want about her intentions, but her actual words -promised- more of the same.

    Trump is awful, but telling people the Dems presented any meaningful opposition to ethnic cleansing or that Harris made it clear she'd be better is propagating a convenient lie.

  • I loathe the comments saying some version of "I hope everyone who didn't vote for Harris gets what they deserve". Dem bullying and refusal to stop 100% support of war crimes (including domestic protest suppression/condemnation) alienated a crucial part of their base, but apparently it's still not their fault. Now there's bitter folks here taking a sick satisfaction telling people they're going to suffer and consoling themselves by viciously insulting everyone who didn't fall in line.

    Apparently when the horrors happen it's not because Harris ran a shit campaign courting conservatives, didn't listen, and promised more of the same (or even a slide right) as Biden, a president with an approval rating in the 30-40% range. It's not because she refused to promise an immediate stop to support of war crimes as per America's own laws. It's the fault of everyone who refused to vote against their conscience because a "lesser evil" platform didn't convince them to support a party of unrepentant war criminals.

    Downvote me all you want and tell me how idiotic I am. I told people urgently to vote Harris right up until the election, but I also always spoke out against bullying on Lemmy and it's only gotten worse post-election. The people in this thread talking about how others are going to get what they deserve are abusive people and I don't want to be associated with them anyways. Their disapproval is something I'm proud of.

  • Scholar's Lore is crazy good for that. I don't listen to anything during a night's sleep, but I love settling in for a nap with his channel going. Listening to the horrors of an unforgiving universe is so calming... Then I wake up and listen for real.

  • R.F.K. Jr. Lays Out Possible Public Health Changes Under Trump

    Jump

  • There are indications that things like abortion bans will affect the number of present and futures doctors/specialists in particular in places like Texas. Perhaps if doctors and dentists come to the table in large #'s with meaningful pushback the damage can be mitigated.

    I sincerely hope RFK's promised position proves to be largely ceremonial, because his proposals could really impact nation-wide quality of life. Especially for kids who have no choice or voice.

  • Harris concedes 2024 presidential race in call to Trump

    Jump

  • I wonder if that disconnect is a hazard of not having a primary. Even if Kamala had still been nominated from the get-go, splits in the voting and ratios might have indicated what Dem voters were thinking and provided campaign insight.

  • As a foreigner looking in, I'm worried about how things like widespread protest suppression and union-busting will affect the called-for attempts at change. Some of that stuff was bipartisan, and it's unlikely to get better now that the far right has control of the Presidency, Senate, SCOTUS, and perhaps the House.

  • Oof, I thought the states were more independent than that regarding healthcare in their borders. If that happens you folks are looking at some hard times ahead. All that stuff I edited into the end of my posts will become inescapable. I would find a silver lining in the fact that finally Republican women would be unable to get away with their "the only moral abortion is my own" BS, but I hate the thought of any woman dying or being forced to make desperate choices.

  • I'm Canadian, so maybe I don't understand US state vs. feds as well as I could. That said, what bit I know points to a federally-mandated nation-wide abortion ban being a mess that would take longer than 4 years to sort out. If Trump individually could stall most of his cases for a year+ then the states, some of which likely enshrined abortion rights into law tonight, will drag it out past this Presidency. Turns out I didn't understand, and reproductive rights in the US are looking VERY tenuous right now.

    My guess is the next 4 years at least will see a big surge in "abortion tourism", unsafe amateur abortions killing women, punitive reproductive lawsuits, and more horrific cases of women dying in hospitals or being forced to carry rape babies. Especially among the poor who can't afford to take a quiet trip like the middle class/rich to do the very thing they voted to make illegal.

  • Protests erupt in Israel after Netanyahu fires defence minister

    Jump

  • Foreign Minister Israel Katz, known for his hawkish stance, is set to replace Gallant.

    If Katz is even worse, that's bad news. It's not like Gallant was a kind or just man. Gallant is the one who announced a "complete siege" on Oct. 9th, 2023 with no electricity, food, or fuel allowed into Gaza. He said the Gazans were "human animals" and would be treated as such. He set the stage and attitude for many of the Israeli war crimes of the last year.

  • Trump's team has been preparing for a loss for at least weeks now. Luckily it's so obvious that, especially with the precedent of the last coup, it's not going to take anyone by surprise. As a Canadian: please get out and vote, give Harris the substantial victory your country needs, and rub it in Trump's face so hard it's breaks through the layers of spray tan.

    P.S. OP, I can understand how you feel. Even as a Canadian I'm going to be so glad to get past tomorrow + the time it takes to confirm a victor. Issues like the environment, Ukraine/Russia, and Israel/Gaza affect us all.
