@alc_anthro @ProletariatRis1 @GoodVibePolitik Those things were changed and the unequal practices abolished. Why should Israel be exempt from evolving and removing the hurdles for equal rights in society.

@alc_anthro @ProletariatRis1 @GoodVibePolitik Ironically there was famously a massive oppressive issue where Tribal Natives were not granted citizenship and it took 60 years for them to be given birthright citizenship. Also not to mention the Jim Crow era of unequal rights which was only 60 years ago from today.

“premature antifascism” is not a real critique

[douglas the factologist @IAmDouglasKim]

fun fact, during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, American soldiers would call Korean and Vietnam civilians that they ran over with tanks "zipperheads" since that's how they looked after they ran them over

[Linda Mamoun @mamoun_linda]

Incredible. @Reuters got ratio’d into acknowledging international law.

Meanwhile on Chinese TV: "I visited California in the 80s. They were promising high-speed rail. China didn't even have highways."

40 years later, they have built zero. China: biggest high speed rail network.

The IDF has been accused of horrific war crimes in Gaza by the UN Human Rights Council & Amnesty International.

It is just common sense that those involved in war crimes should be held to account.

It's pretty funny that not even an hour after Hezbollah posted this video mocking the IOF censor and spokesperson's unit, Hezbollah fired multiple rocket barrages into the north and the IOF SPOX lied about some of them being "false alarms".

israeli platforms:
>Lies, lies fall upon us and hit us again!!! one rocket! (posts a video of a bunch of interceptors).
>Absolute lie, false? (posts a bunch of photos of interceptors).
>Despite the statement... there were interceptions over Metula...

It's kind of wild to find out that the Republican in the NYT story that says she had a toxic relationship with Graham Platner is Lyndsey Fifield. Having been in DC for too long, I know a decent number of people who know her quite well. For a long time she was the co-host of a podcast with her best friend Bethany Mandel, called Ladybrains, though she has also worked for multiple super PACs, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Heritage Foundation.

Some background, presented without judgment: In 2014, Fifield began work as digital director for American Action Network, a Republican Super PAC that oversees House races. The next year she became social media manager for the Heritage Foundation, where she stayed for the next seven years.

In 2022, she joined the Super PAC backing Nikki Haley for president, switching to the official campaign side the next year, and staying until the campaign flamed out. She now lists herself as a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum, a prominent dark money group that is best known for helping usher Brett Kavanaugh on to the Supreme Court and giving Susan Collins the talking points she needed to make her decisive speech in his favor.

The NYT breezed past all this, saying she was "a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups and Republican campaigns."

In an interview for a news outlet called Red Alert Politics that named her to a “30 under 30” list back in 2016, she said that she wanted to “emulate the late conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart’s approach to online activism.” Breitbart, known for pushing the boundaries when it came to political combat, is perhaps best remembered for having exposed Anthony Weiner’s penchant for sending nudes to young girls, and for his work elevating James O’Keefe.

That she worked for Independent Women's Forum recently is even wilder since IWF played a critical role in Kavanaugh's confirmation and in persuading Collins to support it.

Heather Higgins, chair of IWF, laid out the group’s role in a talk several years ago. “We wrote a memo. It was used by a lot of members of the Senate and the House, Fox News, and elsewhere. Most important, Susan Collins told me that without that memo, she would not see how to support him,” Higgins said. “And if you look at the speech she gave on the Senate floor, it’s entirely the playing out and architecture of how we said to structure the argument — what to say and how to say it, which is just so gratifying. We’re watching TV and we’re like, ‘That’s ours! That’s ours!’”

Meanwhile, the timeline Fifield gives of their relationship is confusing, because during at least some of that time she was actually dating a different person, her longterm boyfriend who became her fiancee before she called off the wedding in 2018. We all know this because she and Mandel did a podcast episode on it that went mega-viral in Republican circles back then. Apparently this is the kind of thing the NYT thinks is important now, so I guess it requires more reporting. I'll report back.

Here is Heather Higgins celebrating IWF's role in getting Susan Collins to confirm Kavanaugh:

@pissvortex @HunterBiden I’m gonna be so real, there are hundreds of members of congress, hundreds more members of the state department both current and last, along with Joe Biden himself, and his Vice President to use this energy on. The dude who’s only connection to it is lineage isn’t it

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

@mark_slapinski And I feel bad about that. I meant to say he is a sadistic, infantile ugly fuck.

[henry @DemNationalist]

The best part about Hunter Biden being overly online is how people in his replies go “How much COKE did you SNORT before POSTING THIS you FUCKING PEDO” and Biden responds “I didn’t snort coke I smoked it” and then they respond “Haha true that, sorry man, have a good one”
