  • They pursue a deliberate strategy of killing and kidnapping civilians. They brutalize and repress any autonomous political movements within Gaza. Violent repression of queer or otherwise nonconforming Gazans is commonplace. And their disastrous political and military strategy was a large contributor to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Gazans over the past several years.

    I usually try not to criticize them because such criticisms are being used to justify genocide but I don't know how else to respond to a ridiculous post like this.

  • They can and should pursue a state investigation. However, it's important to note that key evidence is in federal hands and it's not clear they will turn that over. I'm not sure the publicly available evidence to date is enough to convict but hopefully we'll see.

  • Rulers need the cooperation of the masses. This is all about concocting a chaotic political environment where people are afraid enough that they won't stop the power grab.

    It's possible it will backfire, and we should be doing everything in our power to try to make that happen, but that's the overall strategy.

  • Because it looks bad for the Administration. If they were 100% trying to protect him I think the best move strategically is to filibuster. I interpret this as they don't support Trump's military abuses but they're too scared to actually vote against it.

    However it's possible there is some other explanation I'm missing.

  • This is the way.

  • Interesting that most republicans voted against this but didn't filibuster. Speaks to their impotent terror of disobeying the Trump administration. They are truly pathetic.

  • Fuck the FBI they shouldn't exist either.

  • Minneapolis brought us the George Floyd protests. They know how to get rowdy when needed. Here's hoping.

  • And then fire them if they refuse to obey orders. Police are not all powerful.

  • This seems quite bad for western US if it bears out. Will have to look out for updated precipitation projections to see how this affects things. Their graphs show minimal information, particularly for California which appears to be arbitrarily cut off.

  • Thanks!

  • Yeah if we'll be switching to PieFed then probably not worth putting a ton of effort into.

  • Excellent article. Not sure if it's just me but I can't see your meme.

  • Copaganda. I mean this is true of like 99% of al law enforcement activities, not just immigration related. But the American people are so indoctrinated into supporting these paramilitary goons that they accept it as normal.

  • True but Jews were the biggest component and ideologically central to the narrative they told to justify their violence.

  • What's this from? And what is the definition of an interest group? Does that overlap with economic elites? In common parlance I would think it does.

  • Smh my head when libruls don't even know the difference between national socialists and Nazis. /s
