Last night also demonstrates the problems with AOC’s don’t rock the boat strategy. Since she has refused to endorse against sitting members, she is on the sidelines of a movement that she herself helped to kick off and logically should be leading. Missing the entire Dem Tea Party at the federal level because the once insurgent is now a de facto incumbent protector.
BREAKING: United Auto Workers today passed a resolution at its convention, 321-287, to divest from Israeli bonds.
With nearly 400,000 members, UAW becomes the largest US union to officially divest from Israel.
The vote received support from a range of sectors, including a large number of Michigan auto delegates, in addition to legal services and higher education.
The original call for divestment came from a wildcat strike of 2,000 mainly Arab American workers at Chrysler’s Dodge Main in 1973. Amid the genocide in Gaza, pro-Palestinian labor groups and UAW locals renewed and intensified their campaign.
Speakers motivated for the resolution by citing the union’s legacy of divesting from South African apartheid in 1978.
Hasan Piker: “Every dollar spent on a bomb that Israel drops on a school is a dollar stolen from you because that’s a dollar that could’ve been used to build a school in your neighborhood. That’s your productive output used for the death machine to kill other people’s kids”
AI is so popular because it gives uncreative people the illusion that they are creative. It lets them skip right to the part where they get validation. It’s not only parasitic, but extremely narcissistic.
Obi-Wan and Luke died the same way. They didn’t die of wounds. They transformed with peace and purpose.
Kenobi didn’t die by Vader’s blade. He transformed into the force just before he was struck. When he lifted his saber refusing to fight, his mission was complete. The force took him.
When Luke faced his fears, apologized to Leia and Ben, and distracted the First Order long enough, his mission was complete. The force took him.
No pain. Just two old flawed Jedi that finished their missions.
@CodyFandom_ Because they’re stuck between no one wanting ai Luke and 14 vocal cry baby YouTubers demanding they not recast Luke. The only solution is to be brave, recast and tell Theory and his horde to STFU.
My hottest take here is that the Sequel Trilogy sucks in large part because The Rise of Skywalker gave its biggest haters exactly the movie that they asked for.
Dave Filoni explains why Darth Vader does not speak in MAUL - SHADOW LORD.
“Maul is struggling to let go of hate, but Anakin got consumed by it. If he were to face what he did, it would destroy him more. I find a lot of pity for him because of what he did and the depth of his treachery. And that’s Darth Vader. Anakin’s trapped in there somewhere, and Darth Vader won’t let him surface. And so to me, the key is not to actually give him a character. He’s devoid of it because he doesn’t care. Darth Vader does not care. He does not have compassion. He does not see you. He sees the thing he wants to destroy, and he will do that. It’s like the same feeling you got in Rogue One when he comes down the hallway. He doesn’t talk to those guys. He’s going to destroy them. He has one mission, and all of his remorse and all of his anger and all of his hate is in every swing that he does. That’s how it’s resolved.”

@ManaByte@ShufeldtLA Jeremy, you KNOW the Han Solo movie was a failure of management at EVERY level and Ron Howard still managed to make a great FUN movie. Talk more about that.
Nelson Mandela visited Gaza in 1999, and told Palestinians: "Choose peace rather than confrontation, except in cases where we cannot move forward. Then, if the only alternative is violence, we will use violence." Now Western media class scum invoke him to smear the resistance
The Last Jedi rocks and I'll die on this hill. Emotional narratives, stunning visuals, actual filmmaking. Give me an entry that challenges the saga over ones that just keep echoing it
