Hasan Piker: “There’s always a healthy flow of migrant workers that will come to the US that will work for pennies on the fucking dollar to make ends meat to work in slave-like conditions because they’re desperate. Why are they desperate? Because we’ve destroyed their countries. We’ve manipulated their finances, destroyed their economy, extracted their natural resources. We’ve kept them down and underdeveloped by design to create this chaos and then they’re desperate enough to come here and we don’t allow them to get the proper paperwork so our capital owners can justify paying them nothing”
imagine if prominent democrats were saying these objectively true statements for the last couple of years especially after israel goaded this dipshit admin into waging war w iran that we lost. imagine how much more credibility the dems would have at this moment?
instead, they offered silly process criticisms while legitimizing the false rationale for waging war, actively tried to deplatform their antizionist left flank, and now maga will get to abdicate responsibility for its fuckups and dump it on israel while the dems shit on the mou.
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
I think the funniest possible outcome of all the “Democrats need a Joe Rogan of the Left” discourse was eventually getting what is arguably the best case scenario for what a “Joe Rogan of the Left” would look like and it turns out they don’t actually want that shit at all.
Democrats emphasizing this Platner oppo dump are the same ones who are supposedly concerned about the party losing young men to the right. Maybe rewarding contrition would be good politics if you want to bring radicalized young men to your side?? Liberal censoriousness is toxic.
Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.
Media giants are now threatening to do this.
We can't let this happen.
Pass it on.
Abdul El-Sayed: “If you’re out of a job, it’s probably because a corporation figured out how to automate your job. If you’re out of a home, it’s probably because a corporation is speculating on the home that you should have been able to afford. If you’re out of healthcare, it’s probably because a corporation has figured out how to monetize you because you get sick”
Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance.
Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.
Laura Loomer went to India but deleted all of her anti Indian Tweets, thinking nobody would notice.
Well, this Indian uncle cooked her for being a raging bigot.
