This was one of the most appalling stories I’ve ever looked into: A private equity termite rolled up the fire-truck manufacturing industry between 2016 and 2020—and has spent the last 5 years cashing in: doubling the price of fire apparatus, delaying order deliveries for years on end, and contributing to a crisis of preparedness at fire departments around the country.
lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.
Just wondering if, after Israel has killed over 200 UN workers in Gaza, shot at peacekeepers in Lebanon, and invaded a sovereign member state, it might, perhaps, be time to expel them from the… UN?
Transposing “Harris is proudly doing a genocide against my family” into “I support Trump” is an disgusting tactic that libs keep doing.
It’s manipulative, ignorantly patronizing, & does nothing but *intensify* the rift they’re trying to fix. They pulled this w/Chappell Roan too.
It's wild that an operation against military targets which killed zero people (one dying from falling shrapnel) has triggered more outrage from Western media than Israeli operations targeting residential areas and ambulances and massacring hundreds of civilians.
seems almost pointless to ask since an airstrike on beirut was apparently called in from within a UN building yesterday but: is lebanon a sovereign nation or not? is every neighbour of israel only its own country until the idf decides otherwise?
If you are willing to sacrifice Palestinians in order to defeat [insert current Republican Boogeyman of the Year here], then I don't see why you wouldn't sacrifice me too if you thought it would help you win.
I've seen you tolerate genocide. The limit does not exist.
Openly queer women in the music industry like Chappell Roan and Ethel Cain refusing to endorse Kamala is actually important for American culture in the sense that it shows that you can be a famous woman in the arts and have a fucking political backbone
i just saw someone calling chappell roan and ethel cain "white girls that profit from lgbt culture" and they're a lesbian and a trans woman like do you hear yourself? 💀
You never hear Western officials say:
“Lebanon has a right to self defense”
“Palestine has a right to self defense”
“Iraq has a right to self defense”
“Iran has a right to self defense”
How is it a “right” if it only applies to Israel and they can attack anyone they want?
If the US started evacuating US citizens from Beirut, we'd have to admit that Israel's bombings are not "precision targeted" or "designed to minimize harm to civilians."
And that's why they won't do it. They'd rather see Americans die than admit the truth about what's happening.
The “rules-based order” boils down to this: The states of the imperial core can use unlimited violence to secure access to the lands, resources and labour of the global South, including gross violations of international law, and with total impunity. But any use of violence in resistance by the people of the South, even if minimal, and even if it is within the bounds of international law, can legitimately be punished with apocalyptic devastation.
The most likely reason there's footage of people driving through storm surges after Hurricane Helene is because they didn't get the day off work.
Retailers like Walmart and Amazon have remained open and ordered workers to keep working even during tornadoes.
