  • And what are they going to DO now?

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defends decision to support military aid for Israel

  • She voted against an amendment that would block funds for Israel's Iron Dome "defensive" missile system, while Tlaib, Omar, Summer Lee and Al Green of Texas voted for it, along with 2 Republicans.

  • Thanks for letting me know. The main URL somehow lost a period between www and nytimes. Don't know what happened to the archive, but I just re-created it. Should be good now. :-)

  • Foolish votes maybe, but not fools, if they are showing solidarity with their neighbor and coworker who happens to be undocumented. This is progress, and they will be further awakened when Trump attacks Medicaid and Medicare.

  • We must face reality — the Gaza War is now a war of annihilation

    Jump

  • Yes, it always was, but the fact that staunch Zionists acknowledge it now is another step forward in public opinion, and will make it politically more difficult to attack the Palestinian solidarity movement.

  • Australian PM Albanese says Israel’s blockade of aid into Gaza is ‘an outrage’

  • The hashtags were added in Mastodon and I forgot to remove them in Lemmy, sorry.

  • I think that you're missing the point here. People who had some vision of ICE taking out violent criminals now see something different and they they are taking a stand against it. And it's not happening to them, but to a single Chinese worker who they all love. That's solidarity, even if they may not call it such. Something similar happened in NY state in the town of the border czar.

    These events give me hope for the future. There is no point at all in finger-wagging at Trump voters. When the tariffs and Medicaid cuts come down, we will see many more people's consciousness change.

  • Just removed them - sorry about that.

  • OK, thanks for the heads-up.

  • Gaza paramedics shot in upper body ‘with intent to kill’, Red Crescent says

  • Most of us here know that, but many others beyond the Fediverse are still not convinced. Video documentation and expert testimony of horrible crimes is often effective in changing public opinion.

  • Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and didn’t mention Gaza once. That’s no surprise | Judith Levine

  • Yes, it did change. But I still think that your concern is misplaced and that the Guardian's error came nowhere close to misinformation.

  • I should have mentioned the most important factor was the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people, which did inflict many casualties on the US.

    But the massive demonstrations in the US and around the world helped change the consciousness of millions, which ultimately even affected the thinking of the troops fighting in Vietnam. Many times the representatives of the NLF and DRV recognized the vital role of the US antiwar movement.

    Unfortunately, both the USSR and China did not do much to help Vietnam, and Nixon was able to play them off pretty well.
