I mean screw the men responsible for your misery, but Iran is objectively the good guy when it comes to Palestine. We don’t have quite as much opportunity to shit on Khomeini now that Assad isn’t around, but we still hate him don’t worry.

You see the numbers that turned out for No Kings? Get those people to camp out in the streets and give it two weeks.

Some (not all or even most) socialist outlets have a soft spot for Russia, which is stupid but doesn’t affect their other reporting AFAIK.

Valid.

Likewise, Iran must halt its retaliation immediately and drop its escalatory threats to attack US and UK bases.

Apparently defending yourself is the peak of insanity now.

I was going to say this is manufacturing consent, but given this is recent news I guess I can’t complain.

I mean if they really just wanted to make sure military information doesn’t reach Israel they wouldn’t impose the death penalty; the excessive punishment makes it clear this is going to be used to suppress unrelated dissent.

Y’all need an honest to God revolution. At the very least Trump and his ilk need to be deposed and tried for treason, proportional representation implemented and all powers granted to law enforcement after 9/11 revoked. Don’t count on the day after government to do these things.

Sigh.

Coerce them.

Great, now what kind of coercion do you support if you won’t even threaten to withhold your vote?

Many Arab Spring revolutions did work; they were just swallowed by counterrevolution later.

No, stop following the neoliberals while they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I still remember the “progressive” reaction to Uncommitted and to calls for Biden to step down. If you’re not willing to coerce the DNC neoliberals into doing what you want, you’ll always be stuck doing what they want. And do you know what they want? Proto-fascism with rainbows and glitter.

Western Christians haven’t cared about their religion for at least a century, probably more. Bets on MAGA.

I struggle to see how proto-fascism now devolving into better-prepared fascism four years later would’ve been better than fascism now. And don’t give me the “it gives us time to resist” spiel because we both know that’s not how that ever worked; time to prepare only benefits the far right.

Man.

If they don’t care about brown people in the Middle East, they don’t care about you. Y’all’s inability to understand this got you Trump, so don’t repeat that mistake. Fascism abroad tends to be the preamble to fascism at home.

My dude if y’all allow Trump to run again or the DNC to survive you frankly don’t deserve democracy. You’re smackdab in the middle of a revolution so don’t fucking compromise in advance with the idiots who aren’t even lifting a finger to help you. You run the show now, so act like it.

that was founded on slavery and racism,

And genocide, don’t forget the genocide.

AOC and Bernie spent the last few months telling people to vote and call their representatives; they can’t be much better than Walz.

“Israel has a right to expand” immediately DQs him.
