A really interesting race to watch here.
Democrats are now projected to win the governorship of Iowa. This would be the first Democratic governor in Iowa since 2010.
In the last 16 years under Republican leadership, Iowa has:
- Dropped in education from top 5 to 20.
- Dropped in healthcare from 6 to 18.
- lowered life expectancy by a year.
- doubled the murder rate from 1.5 to 3.
- Infant mortality rate increase.
- Obesity increased.
- Adult literacy dropped.
@briangaar I didnt like or support either candidate, yet voted for both. Stop the bullshit leftist infighting bs that they’re trying to convince you to do. They both ran horrible campaigns and thats what swayed moderates which is what determined each election.
@francescoleggio@svdate@HuffPost You’ll justify the most evil shit and become as morally bankrupt as needed to not have to criticize your orange daddy. Pathetic shit.
Oh no I really hope Bill Clinton isn’t in the Epstein files, I’ll have to get rid of my Bill Clinton hat and my Bill Clinton sneakers and my Bill Clinton cologne and my Bill Clinton watch and take down my Bill Clinton flag and I’ll have to delete my Bill Clinton nft trading cards
Trump launched air controller diversity program that he now decries.
At a news conference, Trump read a list of conditions he called disqualifying, but his administration started such hiring in 2019: @washingtonpost

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.
There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.
I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.
It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!
So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.
And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."
#Iran has no intention of escalating beyond the drones it has sent crawling to Israel. Iran only wants to save face and has no intentions of escalating further.
Both Biden+Israel know this. Netanyahu does not fear Iran causing a regional war. He fears Iran is trying to avoid one
The destruction of the Iranian consulate in Damascus functioned, in part, as a distraction from the massacre of hundreds that had been uncovered at al-Shifa', and in turn was buried by the news of the triple-tapped aid workers. All are symptoms of the endless impunity of Israel.
