i'm amazed Prigozhin wasn't wise enough to take extreme precautions after meddling with someone like Putin.

It is one of my favorites too:)

Tom Cotton is a disgusting cesspool of hate. Vile might be his middle name. The shit this guy has spewed from his mouth over the years.

Michael Haneke's Cache (2005)

One of the greatest occurrences of blowback in self-interested American foreign policy that reverberates to this day. Iran could've been a beacon of democracy in the middle east but foreign meddling by US/UK ended that possibility. We overthrew a democratically elected leader and in his place installed a brutal, friendly-to-us dictator, the Shah. That led to the Islamic revolution which overthrew the Shah and here we are today. Few Americans know about this shameful part of US history. Obama I believe was the first President to publicly acknowledge the deed.

Thank you Bernie for speaking the goddamn truth.

One of the biggest mistakes from the DNC was indeed pushing for HRC in 2016. And the more corporate/centrist Dems continue to resist and fight the progressives today.

Meanwhile NJ might divest from a Japanese company for having cut ties with an Israeli defense contractor over the war on Gaza. We're in bizarro world folks. I pledge allegiance to the United States of Israel, else be labeled anti-semitic? Not to mention Palestinians are semitic.

More people should see this. Common and casual dehumanization of Palestinians, of racism. Everyone else, America, the West are useful idiots. The hypocrisy of liberal democracies is surely on display to millions globally. They not only condone and give cover, but provide weapons and try to silence anyone for calling them out.

Paging FTC, FTC. It's gotten near impossible to find honest reviews that aren't driven by affiliate links anywhere. So many news outlets hocking products outright, I stopped paying attention after nyt bought wirecutter.

Then there's shit like Forbes (from the article) writing lifestyle clickbait about pets and dogs all the while advertising pet insurance.

"Israel has left Palestine alone since 2005." ummm, that's quite the fiction/delusion: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/

"If you’re pro Palestine you are pro Hamas." aka, let us proceed with our blood thirst, with the mass slaughter, and indiscriminate killing of women and children. Because Palestinians are less than human and we are the chosen.

Columbia University’s Shafik, the Neoliberal https://www.salon.com/2024/04/28/columbia-crisis-another-massive-failure-of-liberalism/

“If you wanted to choose one individual as the face of “neoliberalism” for an encyclopedia entry, you could do a lot worse. Shafik holds an economics PhD from Oxford and a résumé of high-ranking positions at the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Bank of England, three institutions that have been instrumental in driving developing nations into unsustainable debt in pursuit of a disastrously failed model of progress. She came to Columbia after six years of pushing fiscal austerity as director of the London School of Economics, where just last spring she helped defeat a student/faculty strike, reportedly by slashing salary payments and lowering graduation requirements to hustle student protesters out the door.”

Angry and lashing out. This time the Israeli genocide was called out and the world was made more aware. And the usual cover given challenged thanks to these protests. The dehumanization of Palestinian people by supporters of Israel's genocide is frightening.

This is heartwarming. I don't worry about them losing focus, and believe this is something bigger. These are roots that hopefully grow into a strong tree with many branches. We need to get younger folks into politics and positions of leadership. It's not as though they'll have a choice considering how badly the previous generations and their systems have created a grossly fractured and inequitable world with a planet on the brink.

How a Connecticut middle school won the battle against cellphones https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/05/01/school-cellphones-confiscate/

I think the story goes beyond not drinking raw cow milk and pasteurization at this point. Behind the scenes there is def 'concern'. The first time cattle were known to ever be infected was March of this year.

Two possible bird flu vaccines could be available within weeks, if needed The H5N1 virus has infected at least 36 herds across nine states, raising the risk of potential human spread, federal health officials said Wednesday. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/two-possible-bird-flu-vaccines-available-weeks-needed-rcna149961

“The risk here of something going from one or two sporadic cases to becoming something of international concern, it’s not insignificant,” CDC Principal Deputy Director Nirav Shah said at a Council on Foreign Relations event on Wednesday. “We’ve all seen how a virus can spread around the globe before public health has even had a chance to get its shoes on. That’s a risk and one that we have to be mindful of.” https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/01/bird-flu-outbreak-cows-biden-00155452

'But over the course of the conference, the seemingly novel arguments for having children fade and give way to a different set of concerns. Throughout the day, speakers and participants hint at the other aspects of modern life that worried them about future generations in the U.S. and other parts of the West: divorce, gender integration, “wokeness,” declining genetic “quality.”'

'More recently, natalist thinking has emerged among tech types interested in funding and using experimental reproductive technologies, and conservatives concerned about falling fertility rates and what they might mean for the future labor force of the United States and elsewhere in the developed world. The conservative think tanks the Center for Renewing America and the Heritage Foundation — the latter of which was represented at NatalCon — have proposed policies for a potential second Trump administration that would promote having children and raising them in nuclear families, including limiting access to contraceptives, banning no-fault divorce and ending policies that subsidize “single-motherhood.”'

https://www.reuters.com/business/how-four-big-companies-control-us-beef-industry-2021-06-17/ Explainer: How four big companies control the U.S. beef industry

The big four processors in the U.S. beef sector are: Cargill (CARG.UL), a global commodity trader based in Minnesota; Tyson Foods Inc (TSN.N), the chicken producer that is the biggest U.S. meat company by sales; Brazil-based JBS SA, the world's biggest meatpacker; and National Beef Packing Co (NBEEF.UL), which is controlled by Brazilian beef producer Marfrig Global Foods SA.

Exactly, US weapons are being used by these fanatics to indiscriminately kill women and children. The Israeli leadership basically thought the world and public opinion would just fall in line as the US and West has tended to, given them cover. The dehumanization of an entire people is something they've been getting away for decades. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/
