Trump administration working on plan to move 1 million Palestinians to Libya
Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.

All 7 Patriot Mobile-backed candidates in Tarrant County lost last night, including Mansfield, Keller, and Grapevine-Colleyville. Huge.

Feels like the moment MeToo went from discussing sexual assault and harassment by celebrities to examining these same abuses by family and friends, we saw an acceleration of the argument that “society gives boys nothing”. An orchestrated backlash by abusers who saw that their unmasking was coming.

There are very few elected American politicians who have acted as resistance leaders (Dems) in the 20th and 21st century. That has not been their role.
That role has been filled by community and activist organizations. The people. Us.

For decades, the right has been obsessed with apartheid South Africa as a way to mourn the end of formal segregation in the US. With neo-segregationists now in power, it’s no wonder they’re opening the doors to white South Africans, using racist conspiracy theories to justify their actions.

What's fascinating is that the DNC (and America) lost in 2024 for nearly the exact same reasons we lost in 2016, something the interview doesn't cover. We keep playing the same playbook and keep losing. You can't go on stage and say "the economy is stronger than ever" when people aren't feeling that

I'm increasingly pissed off at men in leadership positions posting here that companies backsliding on DEI etc is inevitable, and treating people who are angry about it as naive children. All you are showing is that you are a leader who either a) doesn't care or b) lacks the guts to fight against it.

I watched the film 'Farha' on @netflix.com last night after seeing this post, + would highly recommend.
A true story, it brings to life in a very personal way the violent mass ethnic cleansing of Palestinians that led to the foundation of Israel in 1948, and has informed its history ever since.

Zionists are once again trying to get Farha removed from Netflix.
It’s based on the true story of a girl who’s forcibly displaced from her home to Syria in 1948. Zionists hate it because it reflects the truth & have unsuccessfully tried since its release (2021) to get it removed.
Give it a watch!
