@CasqueteroNYC they absolutely should have had a right to peacefully assemble without persecution
but evidently any such sympathy is not enough for voters to give them majority power
mainland Americans should actually understand that the majority of Puerto Ricans consider the pro-independence movement to be an utter joke and are partially responsible for sabotaging the momentum to get PR out of commonwealth status
US AMERICANS I NEED YOU ALL TO UNDERSTAND THIS. STATEHOOD FOR PUERTO RICO IS THE COMPLETION OF COLONIALISM, NOT ITS ERADICATION. THAT IS BAD. STATEHOOD FOR PUERTO RICO IS LIKE SAYING PALESTINE SHOULD JUST JOIN ISRAEL AND FIGHT FOR ITS FREEDOM “FROM THE INSIDE” THAT’S STUPID!
@superlovety1111@julseptx and they're not being suppressed now
your side needs to actually know how to effectively convince the population how independence would be more beneficial over statehood
@superlovety1111 this demotivation tactic is getting staler by the day, and deploying it to justify ignoring a democratic vote is still weaselly and pathetic
Chinese internet users have been sharing an AI-generated video of Abe Shinzo dancing and singing with the man who murdered him.
A Japanese re-post of the video calling it outrageously insensitive has received over 2.6 million views.
@GAZAWOOD2 Remember when they gave the Pulitzer to the NYT photographer for the ‘famine’ image of a Gaza ‘starving’ child who actually had cerebral palsy—and not to the journalist David Collier who exposed the scam? Same pattern.

I’ve lost track of the innocent young people that the IRGC has hung from
cranes this year for the crime of marching in what amounts to a No Kings rally.
I’m thoroughly disgusted by the lack of moral courage among my side of the aisle to condemn it.
There was more outrage over the possibility of convicted terrorists being executed in Israel than for these innocent young people being executed every day.
@SenSanders How about we ask a younger senator for a view about the bold new direction of the party they're also not a member of.
What does Mitch McConnell have to say?

Anti-Indian racism has been a long weirdly specific 4chan alt-right thing, and now it's a widespread weirdly specific alt-left thing, and it makes me question who's in current alt-left communities. Where do we think all the qanoners went? Those people didn't stop existing.
(And it's not because Ro's a rich silicon valley Cali tech guy: Tom Steyer controls for those factors and passed the vibe check in leftist communities. They love rich California leftie streamers, too.)
The DSA is a white supremacist organization trying to use progressive aesthetics to mask its bigotry.
The fuck is an “anti-oppression” task force. The fact that y’all think minorities are too stupid and defenseless to do anything ourselves is part of the problem.
@PJDeU2 I still respect his musical contributions in the seventies and eighties, but yea … he's far from the first person I've had to seperate the art from the artist
Jewish self-determination and a connection to Israel are central to Jewish identity.
When you demonize everyone who holds those beliefs as “genocidal,” you turn “Zionist” into a slur you can use to attack Jews while maintaining plausible deniability about your antisemitism.
Swapping “Jew” for “Zionist” doesn’t make the bigotry disappear. It gives you cover.
