🧵: South Koreans are masters of memes.
Koreans are traditionally talented in finding a sense of humor even in the darkest of times. In 2016 & today, I saw how this culminated into bringing even the most politically indifferent people to the streets.
The art of protest flags:
StateSpox September 2023: As long as Assad is in power, control of the Golan remains important to Israel’s security
Matt Lee: Do you recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan?
Miller: Leaving aside the legalities—
Lee: You can’t leave them aside
Miller: I spoke to the practicality
@SMArikat: So sovereignty is not contingent on sovereignty itself but on who rules Syria?
So, we can assume the US now recognizes that Israel is illegally occupying the Golan Heights, and will also lift sanctions on Syria, right?
What Obama is missing in his call for pluralism is that the two-party system and partisan primaries naturally lead to polarization. If you don’t change the structures then nothing will change.
Breaking news: Israeli historian Lee Mordechai's report documenting Israeli war crime depravity in Gaza – 124 pages, 1400 footnotes. "I felt that I couldn't go on living in my bubble, that we're talking about capital offenses, and that what's going on is just too large, and contradicts the values I was raised on here," Mordechai told @haaretzcom.

Offering Americans the option to buy into public health care — Medicare — instead of private insurance would actually save a lot of money, which explains why so much lobbying firepower successfully arrayed against it in 2010 and since. Don't expect it to be on the DOGE table though: Rs are focused on shrinking govt.
With 5 days to go until publication date, demand for Refaat Alareer's "If I Must Die" is so strong the publisher is worried they will sell out on publication day.
The best thing to do in that case is PRE-ORDER IT NOW. Those pre-orders will count toward the rankings. Link next:
In China, the world’s leading producer of electric cars, “there is growing concern over cars equipped with Israeli technology,” following Israel’s “pagers massacre” in Lebanon.
“Safety systems developed in Israel could lead to car accidents due to the potential for remote takeover by Israeli operatives,” Chinese sources have said.

Biden could cancel all student debt with an executive order. He could do it today. He won't, because like the rest of the Democrats, he cares more about fighting wars than about helping working Americans.
We need a true working class party in America and the Dems ain't it.
We often tweet "cancels student debt" and then someone replies with "the Supreme Court stopped Biden, he can't do that!"
A few reasons why that's not true. First, you need to understand what the court said to understand why this response doesn't hold water:
The monstrosity of our time.
We know and pretend not to know.
We give it other names, we make up excuses.
Israel is erasing Palestinians from Palestine - starving, torturing to death, pulverising homes, schools, churches, trees, human bodies, burning them in tents - and we call is "self-defense".
Israel's self-defense is the defense of ideological hatred turned political doctrine. And genocide.
