#OtD 30 Jan 1968 Vietnamese anti-colonial forces launched the Tet offensive. While it was a tactical failure with huge casualties it showed that US propaganda that victory was imminent was a lie and spurred anti-war sentiment, including amongst US troops workingclasshistory.com/2018/...

Liberals on X were telling me Trump was going to nuke Gaza with glee because I wouldn't vote for a Genocidaire.
Now there's a ceasefire deal and they want to credit Biden.
This was Biden's Genocide.

Chalk drawings by children and adults in Naarm (Melbourne AU) a few months ago after the Sunday rally for Palestine. Sharing for people in Gaza. Praying this ceasefire holds and Gazans can return to their homes and start rebuilding their lives. Much love and glory to those who taught us everything 🌹

Biden has just announced that the next two Gerald R. Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be named for two former presidents: Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
Two parties divided by pronouns, united by imperial war. Hope people start learning class consciousness.

Remember the Paradox of Tolerance. If you are on the side of the people, you have to fight for the rights of ALL the people. You can't leave out one group or the other just because they "weird you out" or you "have questions" about them.
On the other hand, you *should* hate those who are hateful.

You might be tempted to say something like "wellllll they're both presidents they have to be friendly in public" Absolutely no the fuck they don't, especially not if Democrats actually were as afraid of Trump as they pretend to be.
