The head of the House Democratic Caucus defended Rep. Henry Cuellar's right to remain in Congress while his criminal trial runs its course, saying the Texas Democrat is presumed innocent "just like every American."

Hamas is literally just a transliteration of the Arabic word for “organization founded on Oct 7, 2023 for the sole purpose of attacking Israel”

look lets be fair about this

people ignore any and all material context about everything that happens

for most of the population the world is full of mysterious events that happen for no discernible reason other than maybe the cosmos just smote some deserving victims

so the US is totally going to just let Israel march into Rafah while shooting and starving 2 million people?

this after I’ve had to end a few friendships after using the word zionist to describe the perpetrators of these warcrimes, and after using the word Zionists the whitest of liberals look at me like I just dropped the Nword in casual dinner conversation, this of course after they completely and totally forget that my wife is Palestinian and tried educating us on the subject that really this all their fault.

So I tell my buddy to finish eating and then leave without an explanation or argument because it’s simply not worth my time any longer.

I’m so loving tired and angry all the time.

Democracy is when you get to vote but the actual policies implemented are statistically uncorrelated with your preferences regardless of who you vote for

oh sorry that's a minimalist interpretation

Democracy also should include guarantees of human rights that exist only while being used as cudgels against state enemies and conveniently stop existing otherwise, and guarantees of civil liberties that exist to enable fascists and stop existing nanoseconds before a police baton impacts a student's head

why do we even have a ruling class if they need me to vote for them and tell them what to do

big capitalists need to make compromises with small capitalists, military officers, court intellectuals etc. in order to maintain the class hierarchy's overall stability and perceptiveness. under high-population, mass industrial society, mass electoralism helps to consolidate these interests' demands in digestible forms for the capitalists to work with. except, of course, when TRPF demands the liquidation of these interests and even much of the membership of the big capitalists themselves for the sake of increasing profitability, even at the expense of basic social stabilization. as to whether your vote specifically ever mattered, well, that depends on your asset ownership and/or closeness of relationship to methods of social control

In addition to war, economics, foreign policy, and domestic policy, the American government has also forgotten how to do propaganda.
