@maxajl I haven’t read that much of Brenner, but where does he do this?

AOC is right that there are important differences between her and @mtgreenee:

1) AOC emphatically condemns policies only when Trump and the GOP do them, gets muted and deferential when Dems do. By contrast, MTG criticizes policies with equal fervor regardless of which party does them.

2) MTG condemns GOP leaders when they betray their purported values, even risking her political career to do so. By contrast, AOC lies to protect Dems who betray their supposed values (Kamala "is working tirelessly for a ceasefire" in Gaza!), and has supreme devotion to partisan advancement and self-interest above all.

3) MTG introduced a bill to cut all US financing of Israel's military. AOC voted NO, arguing Americans should pay for Israel's "defensive weapons." Big substantive difference.

4) MTG scorns the AIPAC/ADL tactic of accusing Israel critics of being racist and "anti-Semitic." AOC embraces and fortifies that accusatory smear campaign to justify why only liberal critics like her are compassionate and legitimate and everyone else is just racist.

5) MTG only cares about results and outcomes, and will thus work with anyone (left or right) to stop a policy she considers evil and wrong. AOC only cares about posturing and her political branding -- not outcomes -- and will thus reject the opportunity to form majorities to stop stop some policy evil if it means admitting that not only Dems have good ideas and can be good people.

AOC is the embodiment of privilege: having no real urgency about stopping things that don't personally affect her (like Israeli wars and US financing of them). That's why she has harsher words for GOP critics of Israel than she does for Dem supporters of Israel.

This, and more, is why MTG was pushed out of her own party, while AOC has fully morphed into Nancy Pelosi Jr. and is one of the Democratic Party's most valuable partisan tools, and why she's beloved by Dems as such.

I think about how the CEO of Barclays, in an email to Jeffrey Epstein, said that the lower classes don't revolt in America because they've been bought off by Jay-Z.

Humanity owes a debt to these brave indigenous sons of Palestine who confronted the zionist disease with deep faith and an unshakable commitment to liberation.
The letter he read will break your heart—its wisdom, tenderness, humanity.
Men like Karim Abu-Arja gave their lives to shake the world from the zionist stupor. Many have ridden their coattails for street cred, to win elections, to gather money, followers, fame. But few know their names or their stories.
They are extraordinary. Epic. Beautiful. Moral. Loyal. Faithful. Honorable. Humble. Brave beyond reason.
Remember them.
Remember Karim Nabil Hassan Abu-Arja, native son of the land, a warrior in AlQassam Brigades.

A common talking point heard often during this war is that Iran, ideologically speaking, has been priming itself for a showdown with America for decades. Turns out they'd been prepared theoretically and practically too. Awesome footage.

HR 8250 builds a total ID system that would allow the govt. to cross-reference verified users with NSPM-7 "domestic terrorism" lists, turning private devices into tethered ID cards where "unacceptable" speech may trigger mandatory lockouts from your devices

Frida Kahlo’s notoriety is a CIA pysop which tricked Mexico into promoting a subversive female icon to destabilize the nation’s traditional, family-oriented social structure.

During her life, Frida was largely overshadowed by her husband, Diego Rivera.
While Diego was a muralist using art to educate the masses on power, labor, and history, Frida focused her art on internal struggle and personal weakness.

Once the CIA quelled the "Red Scare" and suppressed labor empowerment, they were able to pivot Mexico into a manufacturing hub for America.

Then by replacing the traditional matriarch with a rebellious individualist archetype that could be exported worldwide, they effectively destabilize the Mexican family by glorifying non conformity and trauma over civilizational stability.

Graveyard of the Merkava: The Hill Neither Forgives Nor Forgets is out now.

107 years of resistance. 5 wars. One hill that never surrendered.

They spent a century burying this history. This film puts it back — for every young soul who needs to know what was built before them, what was sacrificed, and what they are continuing.

20 minutes. The story the algorithm doesn't want you to see.

We call you feds because your leadership is self-admittedly linked to the US Director of National Intelligence, your international secretary fought for the CIA in Operation Timber Sycamore, is an US Army Reserve Officer & likes US Army Psychological Operations posts on Linkedin.

In 1968, 500 Black revolutionaries got together and drafted the Declaration of Independence for the Republic of New Afrika. A sovereign Black nation to be established in the Black Belt states of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina. Free The Land

A lot of people seem unaware of the achievements of the socialists in Venezuela 🇻🇪 before US sanctions wrecked the economy. Here's a rundown by the numbers (taken from the United Nations and quoted in my book, "Bad News From Venezuela, 20 Years of Fake News and Misreporting"):

GDP per capita:

1999: $5150
2012: $6434

Poverty:

1999: 49.4%
2012: 25.4%

Extreme Poverty:

1999: 17.9%
2012: 7.1%

Unemployment:

1999: 15.0%
2012: 8.1%

School Enrollment:

1999: under 50%
2012: Almost 75%

Undernourished population:

2000-2002: 3.8 million
2010-2012: "Not statistically significant number" [i.e.: close to zero]

Doctors per 10,000 inhabitants:

1998: 18
2012: 58

Number of free health clinics built, 1999-2012:

7,000

Number of people receiving old age pensions:

1999: 0.39 million
2012: 2.1 million

During the years of Hugo Chavez (1999-2012/2013), the government built a nationalized healthcare and education system from scratch. In 2005, UNESCO declared Venezuela free of illiteracy.

This doesn't mean everything was perfect by any means, but the gigantic and extraordinary successes the country was making attracted academics, statisticians, and epidemiologists from around the world to study it. Indeed, in 2013, the UN awarded Venezuela special recognition in combatting poverty and achieving rapid human development.

They were able to do this because Chavez nationalized the country's resources (oil) and used the profits to fund social programs, rather than enrich foreign billionaires.

It was precisely this threat of a good example that precipitated a massive US economic blockade of the country, which crippled the economy, and led to mass emigration and hardship. The United States is and was terrified that such a successful example of socialism would inspire people across the planet into believing a better world is possible.
