@Bram_R@RatAlt64@ResistanceSean What country did they ultimately find him sheltered in again?
This argument is moot anyway because he didn't even bring up Afghanistan in the clip, he was talking about Iraq.
@Bram_R@RatAlt64@ResistanceSean The government of Afghanistan was a threat to the United States because a group of mostly Saudi nationals hijacked planes with a handful of box cutters?
@TimApplebj@pkgandakin@sopjap Don't really care to defend jacobin or trots. The issues with Smalls have been well known for years now, this is just the first time they are being published.
@_rotimia Can't ignore how it's mostly the staunchest defenders of Israel who are going the hardest. This is not conspiracy, this is politics and the pro-Israel lobby is organizing for its interests. They'd rather pro-Israel Susan Collins than an anti-Israel Dem.
Some Lebanese Americans protested an event at the Lebanese embassy ambassador’s residence in Washington, DC today, accusing the Lebanese government of complicity in Israel’s killings of their family in the south.
“This government has sold us out”
“Our family has been killed. Our land has been taken. My grandparents’ graves have been destroyed by Israel in cooperation with the Lebanese government.”
“You’re trying to celebrate their culture while they’re being ethnically cleansed”
@keisisqrl I think they said some of the good ones. Rushed elections at other shops against the advice of experts, blocked union members from electing leadership, highlighting yourself as the leader/founder over the hundreds of workers at your shop. All bad practice for union organizing.

If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.
When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.
@pkgandakin@sopjap I think it's bad to valorize a model of
1) win an election
2) make yourself the face of the union (instead of the 100s of other workers there)
3) rush other shops to elections and lose
4) block internal elections in your union
5) leave and become a celebrity activist
@pkgandakin@sopjap His current role is he left the labor movement after being kicked out of his former union so he became a celebrity activist. People talk about him as a labor organizer and he's no longer involved in labor in any meaningful way and didn't have a good track record when he was.
