It feels like either it will be theater with a sternly worded letter delivered or Israel will actually get some real consequences. Not really much in between.
I tried for a bit and it was great, no complaints. However, I was having issues getting NixOS set up as quickly as I would like, so I went back to Pop!_OS. I'm looking forward to the next release of Pop, which will have full Wayland by default.
Oh, but 0.1% of their staff was involved in the Oct 7 attacks, so clearly the best course of action is to abandon the largest food aid agency with infrastructure on the ground in favor of piecemeal non-solutions.
Sure, and it will be a factor for a long time. But it should be considered in comparison with similar historical processes. Think civil rights for Black people in the US. I'll pluck a few dates:
First slaver ship, 1619
Abolitionist movement starting in 1688
Dred Scott decision 1857
American Civil War 1861-1865
Jim Crow laws beginning in 1870's
Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896
Brown v. Board, 1954
Montgomery bus boycott, 1955
Voting Rights Act of 1965
Crack epidemic and subsequent mass incarceration, 1980's and 1990's
George Floyd murder, 2020
And after all that time, Black people are still disadvantaged as a whole relative to white people. Compare that to the modern LGBTQ movement. The modern movement really began in earnest with the Stonewall riots in 1969, but it has roots dating back to Berlin in 1897. Gallup has poll numbers going back to 1977 for various questions. Around 70% of Americans believe same sex marriage should be allowed. Attitudes towards equal job opportunities are nearly unanimous in favor, 95%. That said, it's notable that most of these questions are about policy, so they may treat gay people poorly in their personal life. So whether you're measuring by Stonewall or by Berlin in 1897, progress has been relatively rapid. Not that it's ever rapid enough for people suffering under oppression, but progress runs on a generous dose of hope.
I try to emphasize this point to people who are dispairing over the current political climate. Public opinion towards gay people also had a backlash when we demanded rights. Many countries have moved beyond that fairly quickly. I am still not dropping by Uganda anytime soon, but at least I feel fairly safe in my own country.
Transphobia is much less prevalent in the younger generations, just like homophobia. It will literally die out.
ISIS has already gotten involved in conflicts with all of those countries. The branch of ISIS probably didn't want Israel getting involved in Syria, and the feeling was mutual.
Surely you're familiar with controlled opposition, people who run merely to provide the illusion of a real election while any real contenders are kept dead, silenced, locked up, off the ballot, or otherwise suppressed?
One of your regime’s top ghouls went on TV and promised to conduct acts of terrorism in Russia.
She explicitly said battlefield, not concert halls. Considering the US passed along intelligence to the Russians, what's the supposed angle here? What 5D chess is the US playing? Come on, at least come up with something coherent.
This is a ridiculous accusation. The West had warned Russia and Russia chose to brush off the warning. ISIS has claimed responsibility. Face it, Putin is just trying to spread conspiracy theories to cover up his failure as a leader.
There is a lawsuit against the city in the works. The article briefly mentions it. That should provide restitution. I don't expect restitution from the cops, given that they will likely have few assets to go after.
It's a prudent move in the wake of one attack to avoid presenting any obvious targets. Besides, it's not like the Russian government needs an excuse to shut down non-controlled opposition rallies.
Yes. It is normal for your body to have some level of cancer cells, but the immune system constantly keeps cancers in check. As the immune system weakens, cancers are more likely to become problematic. There's even a group of cancer that is so much more likely to happen in AIDS patients that they're known as AIDS-related cancers.
The scene can only be described as an echo of the KKK, lynching, and other racial violence. Two black men were brutally tortured by six cops simply because they were staying with a white woman. The crooks are behind bars, but now it's time for some restitution.
It feels like either it will be theater with a sternly worded letter delivered or Israel will actually get some real consequences. Not really much in between.
