Don't think people on here really understand yet that criticism of AIPAC is now as mainstream as ever within Democratic politics— I still routinely see people say this is a niche concern among the far left but AIPAC's activities since 2022 have alarmed even some center left incumbents in Congress.

It is pretty impressive how mainstream anti-Palestinian sentiment was in the 1980s all the way through to today
FLASHBACK — 1988: @schumer.senate.gov brags about blocking the "Jackson plank”, a DNC platform item by Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign which would’ve supported Palestinian self-determination.

So one of Bluesky’s main characters whom I block is trending again.

Here’s when they posted that Americans who moved abroad shouldn’t be allowed to participate in post Trump US politics.

That is why I block them.

My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.
ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

Adults at ICE concentration camps also get punished for talking with people on the outside who can publicize their stories.

Based on what I've heard at the Otay Mesa camp in San Diego, they're punished with additional work duties, aren't allowed outside in the yard, and denied phone access.

Kids at the Dilley, Texas concentration camp are finding worms and mold in their food.

One mother described the impact on her child:

“Watching her adapt is like watching her wings being clipped.”

At the same Texas concentration camp:

“There were children in Dilley who were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, several mothers told me. Recently, two cases of measles were discovered in the center.“

Extreme child abuse as state policy.

I am serious when MAGA is gone we will need to seriously execute a significant amount of people who were traitors against the Republic and committed crimes against humanity.

The remainder must face life in prison. There can be no reconstruction with the MAGA criminals loose and able to return.

The *only reason* that a more powerful Arab Joint List would disempower the anti-Netanyahu bloc in the forthcoming election is because the anti-Netanyahu bloc has almost uniformly vowed to never coalition with the Arab Joint List.

This article even admits that on paragraph eight.
Reunifying Arab parties aim for more power, but may wind up with more Netanyahu
As Arab parties mull uniting in Joint List again, there are opposition worries that the juggernaut will end up weakening the anti-Netanyahu bloc, unintentionally keeping PM in power

Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...

I literally use Steam Mods for Project Zomboid made by Chinese modders.

How is that a Hermit Kingdom?
‘My motivation was to show that China isn’t this hermit kingdom the way it’s often presented,” “It’s actually developed tremendously. It’s yielded real prosperity for its citizens.”

How tf is it a hermit kingdom people from there can talk to us. They do so on a daily basis

I walked out of the first Harry Potter movie as a kid because I felt the adaptation was poorly done. I think I sat through only the first 30 minutes and I still have not seen a single Harry Potter movie at 35.
fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman
