Some local chapters are good, some aren’t. My local chapter is pretty based and would never dream of supporting any dem candidate, even local ones. Others aren’t. I think it’s definitely worth at least investigating.
And IMO DSA is getting better, not worse. Marxist Unity is making a lot of headway.
Something like 40% of Americans think the earth is less than 10,000 years old
I just mentioned this in the news mega, but the staffer who runs his twitter uses “disturbed” here but “appalled” when tweeting about the protest in the LA - the one where the Zionists who attacking protesters who were there because inside a synagogue they were auctioning off land held by Palestinians in occupied Palestine.
To be clear, he was “appalled” at the pro-Palestine protestors, not the violent Zionists.
Not here, but I saw demsocs basically pretend to ignore his very pro-Zionism stances. Which they had an easier time getting away with before October 7th.
Just citing Biden’s twitter account here… he is “appalled” at the protest of land being auctioned off in occupied Palestine (where all the violence came from the Zionist side) but merely “disturbed” that a white American woman tried to drown a Palestine child in a pool recently.
Fuck you Genocide Joe
Violence outside L.A. synagogue taxed LAPD, sparks condemnation from Biden, Newsom, Bass
Sharing this article only to highlight how the propaganda machine works.
The article first talks about how all these very important people (Biden, Newsom, Bass) are condemning pro-Palestine protestors for targeting a Jewish synagogue.
The last part includes several sympathetic interviews with members of the congregation.
Sandwiched in there is a brief mention of why that specific synagogue was protested at the specific time: there was a presentation/meeting going on about buying up land in Gaza. So… just a little “how can we take advantage of the genocide and ethnic cleansing going on?” shindig. Never is anyone on the pro-Palestine side even interviewed to give their side.
The way it is written gives the uncritical reader (most readers) the impression that Jewish congregants are being targeted just for being Jewish. That they give a mention of the stated reason is irrelevant when you soak your article in condemnations from government officials and when you only provide statements from one side.
Edit: turned on Hasan a moment ago, he’s discussing the protest. Pretty awful stuff coming from the Zionist side that was never mentioned in the LA Times article like “sand n-words go home!” And the violence was entirely one-sided (Zionists attacking protestors) but the article never mentions that, it conveniently focuses on “arrests”.
One thing I always like to mention about Lincoln in this context: he was really into the idea of deporting all black people to Africa. It was his lodestar - it apparently was one thing he consistently believed in during the length of his political career.
Like a Hobbit going over their meals in a day
I feel like the DPRK just needs to be armed enough to deter a US/South Korea invasion, and they’re already there. And now, if they have Russia’a support they don’t need more missiles. They need just normal trade - oil in particular. Would love to see Russia strike a similar deal with Cuba.
The only places that have “good” infrastructure in the US are in rings around cities where the development has been fairly recent so the roads and all haven’t had time to degrade. Outside of the ring you have rural areas and they either have nonexistent infrastructure or what they have is dilapidated. Inside that ring you have older parts of the city that get neglected and usually the more non-white it gets the less resources are spent on infrastructure so it just gets worse.
Unfortunately, the people who live in that ring of good infrastructure tend to also be who American society caters to (middle class and rich white people).
The highest Israeli court just declared that ultra-orthodox men have to serve in the military, so that should make internal tensions boil over a bit more.
