One of the Mums today was talking to me about my Free Palestine badge. She said her boyfriends family are Jewish and they would hate it. I said I have no problem with Jewish people, my issue is with Israeli people. Then she said they are from Israel. I said well fuck them then 😂
A certain kind of DSA person will rag on you for being pessimistic about AOC and DSA Democrats in general but looking at this platform can you point a single plank of this that's been achieved in the past 8 years?
USF Nursing Professor Dr. Ann Lawani has been detained by ICE and disappeared. She is not showing up on their database anywhere. Dr. Lawani is in the US legally and has been for over a decade. Lawmakers are calling for her release.
The savagery becomes even more evident when you realize that Iran, a country under the most brutal sanctions for decades, managed to fire thousands of missiles targeted at thousands of targets in dozens of countries- from thousands of miles away- while being under attack- and with its entire commanding force basically assassinated on day one - and yet not ONCE “accidentally” hit a school, a hospital or murdered a child.

Many had predicted that the Soviet collapse would unleash a new creative era, with a generation of young talent eager to break free of the old system's constraints. That never happened. They have not produced another Battleship Potemkin, And Quiet Flows the Don, Stalker, The Cranes Are Flying, etc.
It makes sense. The Soviet Union had extensive cultural and artistic infrastructure that included state-funded theatres, publishing houses, film studios, conservatories, art schools, cultural centres--much of which collapsed with the USSR.
To this day, the post-Soviet era has yet to produce a cultural legacy comparable to that of those seven decades. The loss of the USSR was the end of a civilization.

DeSantis being recommended for sec of war should concern you significantly more than hegseth did, hegseth is a drunk who ran from combat. DeSantis was the ethics officer in charge of gitmo for almost a decade, and is responsible for the most infamous torture photos to be posted.
