Can anyone of the Boomer-persuasion explain to me why it's good to base your entire identity on protesting the Vietnam war on campus--often in ways far more violent than anything we're seeing now--but protesting the genocidal war going on now is evil and wrong?
Most of the “uh-oh, Dems are convening in Chicago” discourse is Boomer Brain, because yes, there would be protests in any city. Atlanta bid for the DNC, and if it got it Dems would be learning a lot about Stop Cop City right now.
Throughout history, protests were co-opted and made to look bad so police and public leaders would shut them down. That’s what we are seeing now at Columbia University. The Columbia protesters have made clear their demands and want their school not to be complacent in the ongoing Genocide in Gaza. Public officials and media making this about anything else are inflaming the situation and need to bring calmness and sanity back.
Republicans are substantially less likely to understand how marginal tax rates work.
"Suppose that your income put you at the very top of the 28% tax bracket and you earned one more dollar such that you were now in the 33% tax bracket. Your tax bill would go up _____?"
I am proud that the UAW International Union is calling for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine. From opposing fascism in WWII to mobilizing against apartheid South Africa and the CONTRA war, the @UAW has consistently stood for justice across the globe..
Again, Israel’s official position is that these medical professionals’ colleagues in Gaza (and presumably them as well) are conspiring to cover up a massive Hamas command and control center placed within and underneath these hospitals. This is the frame NYT and WaPo are adopting
@DougBurgum Dud loves to talk big about China but he’s just pandering in his failing campaign. Maybe if he had any donors other than himself someone would tell him to drop out.
@richardrahl1086@prem_thakker Hamas wasn’t in the hospital! It was clearly a lie. Are you saying the sick and dying there should have been killed?
It’s very telling how you refuse to differentiate Palestinians from Hamas. Bloodlust for genocide. It’s insane and deranged.
