Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British policy
"Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately.
Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"
And if I said the collapse of sci-fi franchises goes hand-in-hand with the rise of fascism and right-wing sentiments? Sci-fi thrives on this sort of forward-looking, almost childish, belief in a better tomorrow, which feels impossible these days.
Platner wrote a ton about his political beliefs on Reddit. He didn’t think it’d be read. He was a woke BLM guy who talked about the struggles of LGBT marines & got into arguments with Holocaust revisionists. There is no Nazi on earth who would talk like this. It’s dispositive.
Platner: Susan Collins has gotten 21 times wealthier just in the last 15 years. Has anybody else gotten 21 times wealthier since Susan Collins was elected to office? Does Maine have 21 times the schools and hospitals? No, we have less. Susan Collins is getting rich while we're getting screwed.
@matthewstoller Im so excited platner can focus on demolishing collins now. If his checkered past didn't stick in the dem primary, it sure as heck won't stick in the general
That video of the Israelis shooting into the stopped car and killing a baby is horrendous. They didn’t even check what happened afterwards or administer aid. This is not an ally on or do they share our values. This is a backwards Middle Eastern army.
It’s absolutely treasonous that 97% of members of Congress believe a foreign country’s account of the attack, and not the first hand testimony of our own veterans.
I appreciate the efforts of Thomas Massie, but at this point, we are not sovereign.
The crowd at the Knicks tonight must be the most affluent group of people Trump has ever been booed by, since they all could apparently afford to spend thousands of dollars to attend a sporting event
Not to harp on it but its really funny to hear some people argue “hey it was a mixed reaction, it wasn’t all boos” and then you click on this and it’s just the deepest, from the gut, loudest boos you’ve ever heard. Like just objectively the most negative response from the crowd.
