Yeah the statement it links to is from 2015.

I’m on PipePipe and haven’t been able to use it since Tuesday.

This took place in Tennessee, the state building a trans registry and also eliminated its sole black representative in the House. I will not weep for the taxpayer here though the sheriff should also be on the hook.

Primaries. There are Dem candidates here and there who are progressive and don’t take AIPAC money.

No sympathy for the ones who mocked a $15 minimum wage or who voted to slash “entitlements.”

Tbh it might not even be intended to work but rather to allow defense contractors to pocket billions for drawing up designs for the project going nowhere.

The other transforms these societal demands in woke-liberalism, erasing the class struggle component of feminism, anti-lgbtphobia, anti-rascism. Rendering these fights too individualized and inconsequential.

Which is still not the same level of existential threat as forcing women to die of easily treatable obstetric issues or giving paramilitary thugs a budget bloated enough to be a top 13 military by funding carte blanche to execute or disappear protestors/POC/people with accents. Just because neither party is leftist (or ideal) does not mean they are the same.

HOWEVER, I’m deliberately changing it to mean there isn’t even a simulacrum of difference between Democrats and Republicans

I will grant you that both parties serve monied interests and share a lot of the same agenda. However, one party has been working for generations to roll back rights for women, POC, LGBTQIA+ to the 1950s.

Russia has stayed in a very small area of Ukraine that is predominantly inhabited by ethnic Russians.

That “small” part is about 20% of Ukraine and they are only “staying” there because that’s the limit of what the Russian army has been able to secure so far. Putin would be tap dancing in Lviv if the Russian army could take it.

While the war in Ukraine is not the same degree of tragedy we are seeing in Palestine, there are still issues with ethnically Ukrainian children being taken from their homes and ethnically Ukranian citizens being told they must either take up Russian passports/citizenship or leave. Forced migrations also count as genocide/ethnic cleansing.
