This is beautful. If you don’t properly understand the problem, then you have no hope of solving that problem. Let Biden think he’s got it in the bag and that his genocidal campaign in Gaza isn’t hurting him all the way into November. It will only make his loss all the more sweeter. Let him see how his unbridled love for a fascist apartheid state gave the US another 4 years of Trump. THEN I want him to keel over from a heart attack.

The day Biden starts sanctioning India you know he’s really lost the plot. India always does this 
thing. Modi will always do what’s in his best interests but he helps out the US just enough that they really have no reason to cross him.
Nearly all government services other than the cops and firefighters are farmed out to 3rd parties. Usually there’s a “waste management” company that signs a contract with a municipality to provide garbage services instead of the city just owning trucks. Neoliberalism bay-beee!!!
Water is a bit more complicated, like other utilities it’s usually some sort of complex private/public partnership.
It’s impossible to know. It’s like when people ask if the feds are keeping tabs on this website. Like objectively, it would be silly for them to expend any resources on that - we shitpost, we’re very small, and half the users are outside the US anyway. We’re not actually organizing anything here (not a criticism, just an observation), so why even bother. I’ve been here since like day 3 (different accounts) and not once have I seen any calls to actionable, criminal violence.
OTOH, feds have infiltrated Marxist reading groups with like 3 people before. They infiltrate milquetoast demsoc DSA chapters. They’ll get in there and fuck things up that are objectively not even a shadow of a threat. So who knows, hard to figure them out.
Making up “anti-tankie” stuff seems very penny ante, but they feds do that kinda stuff anyway.
It’s so bizarre how liberals ignore local elections. I don’t even hear them making a peep about US senate races. Honestly a savvy tactic would be to concede to the left on Biden and then focus on the state and local level. 2020 wasn’t even really a win for the democrats because even though they got the presidency, the GOP made a lot of headway everywhere else.
lol I almost made a comment complaining that the N64 wasn’t in the picture, and then I got the joke.
I’ve seen videos of Don Jr, and he’s such a poser. He’s obviously some posh NYC dandy but ever since 2016 he’s tried to become this hard ass country boy and it’s really pathetic.
I haven’t seen this discussed anywhere… but are Dutch universities similar to American ones in that there usually aren’t classes during the summer, and students typically return home? I’m concerned the campus movement in the US will fizzle out just from the fact that schools are shutting down for the summer. Hoping that it can keep going strong outside the US.
Not to mention, notice how steeply the plane is already banking to the left. Going left would almost certainly be safer since that’s where the plane is already heading.
Multiple outlets reporting (I’m reading the Al-Jazeera live feed) and a spokesperson for the UN secretary-general has confirmed that Israel attacked a UN-marked vehicle on the way to the European Hospital in Gaza as a part of their duties. One UN staffer was killed and another injured.
I am 1,000% sure this is was intentional and retaliation for the UN vote last week. Death to “israel”.
From The Red Stream (@theredstream) on Telegram:
Tens of thousands of people in the French overseas territory of New Caledonia have taken to the streets in protest of French President Emmanuel Macron’s plans to reform New Caledonia’s electoral system. At least eight pro-independence activists had already been arrested before being released under pressure from protesters.
The latest wave of protests comes as the French National Assembly in Paris again gave a green light for the proposed constitutional changes, which native pro-independence parties fear will significantly affect their representation.
Last week, the National Assembly law committee debated the proposed constitutional amendment’s value. The bill should be debated again today, with a vote scheduled for May 14.
This move would allow an additional 11,000 mostly non-Indigenous people to determine the future of the French overseas territory, where voices favoring independence have grown.
My understanding of the situation is that there is a large, indigenous-led, and somewhat leftist movement for independence on New Caledonia. In order to avoid further erosion of the French colonial empire, Macron is pushing for an expansion of the franchise to people who have only recently moved to New Caledonia (i.e. non-indigenous) who presumably are less supportive of independence.
I need to make a mashup of IOF war criminals dying to “Yakety Sax”.
