Neo-Nazis and the Far-Right Are Trying to Hijack Pro-Palestine Protests

  • It’s a thin distinction, and I don’t know that I would use that exact phrasing, but I get it…. And I also get why it didn’t get read the way you intended.

    • US House defeats move to expel Republican George Santos

    Jump

  • The republicans have a thin majority in the House. Even without whatever other justifications that’s a strong incentive not to bleed any more seats. Particularly when Gaetz and the Arson Caucus keeps setting the place on fire.

    • Prisoner exchange? Israeli captive families demand answers from Netanyahu

    Jump

  • The timeline is approximately:

    Oct 7: Hamas attacks Israel.

    Oct 7: “Israel needs to be reasonable, like Hamas.”

    It’s bonkers. Hamas is treated simultaneously like a state actor and an independent organization. They have all the legitimacy of the former and all the responsibility of the latter.

    … And trying to exist online right now is a shitshow— it’s a mire of witting and unwitting propagandists, supercharged by their side’s body count.

    I don’t know what the right answer is right now for the reality that exists there. I don’t know how one negotiates for the release of their kidnapped civilians without inviting more kidnappings. I don’t know what the alternatives are that don’t get a lot more people killed.

  • Additional points for having the panels work according to the original scene.

  • Because it happened before Congress, I doubt a prosecutor would touch it. There’s specifically a lot of latitude given for purportedly acting as an elected official. It would probably take her saying, repeatedly, that she wasn’t presenting it as a congressperson but as a private citizen to overcome that hurdle.

    But I am not a lawyer, and I’ll defer to someone with better information who contradicts me.

    • We had a good run, thank you everyone

  • Also: hockey-stick growth rates are unsustainable. Attempts to force it lead to toxic and extractive environments.

    • Tame your inner dictator!

  • With a fair cohort moving here to escape the creep of corporate internet, it doesn’t seem, on the face of it, like they’re looking for drama. Saying they are is a handy way of dismissing them out of hand, though.

    • Happy Freedom Day...I guess.

  • I take it as “America has good ideals that it should live up to.”

    Might be pollyanna-ing… almost certainly am, but I’m trying to take this Independence Day to appreciate what we’ve got, what my ancestors came to this country for, and that the maintenance of it, and the realization of its ideals, is a lot of work we’ve got to do yet, and will always be with us.
