If AIPAC's commitment to arming a rogue state isn't enough for you, I cannot emphasize enough that this organization is just a slush fund for GOP donors to influence Dem races. Their donor base is mostly conservatives who want Republicans to win.

The Downballot@the-downballot.com · yesterdaySeems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.
This is a 1,600 bed facility, so it will instantly become one of ICE's largest facilities. It will also be one of (if not the actual) largest ICE jail/prison in the midwest.

oh, interesting... apparently one of the Moda Center stooges is on camera saying he knew we were outside counter-protesting and our ejection from the game was related to this fact? this just gets cooler and cooler
these tickets may have been 300 level, but they weren't that cheap and we just got kicked out rather than make my friend take off a shirt (for which she had no replacement) because some bored, shitty Indiana fans are mad about it fuck the Moda Center, man
so, the stooges came back and asked my friend to leave her seat and tried to convince her that she had to change her shirt... we are currently being effectively escorted out of a building that is currently asking for untold millions of our tax dollars
solar and wind are safe and cheaper than fossil fuels, and their deployment has not yet stopped the continued growth of fossil fuel use. but a technology that is more expensive than fossil fuels, potentially very dangerous and has an unsolved waste problem would have replaced fossil fuels by now
I must once again remind Americans that they use more coal per capita than Germans because, despite coal representing a smaller percentage of the energy mix, American total energy usage is just so obscene lol

Have to address this: Shapiro investigated the #EllenGreenberg case while AG & ruled it a suicide. 3 of the stab wounds were fatal. She can’t keep “stabbing herself” after she’s dead. He was buddies with her bf’s uncle, who stole her cell phone & laptop from the scene. Shapiro covered up her murder.
Zack Furness@punkademic.bsky.social · 2w agoThe coolest thing about LeBron coming to Philly is that Gov Shapiro once classified the death of 27-yr old Philadelphia teacher, Ellen Greenberg, as a suicide despite 20 stab wounds in this pattern:
The very presence of these soldiers and settlers is illegal according to international law, see both the International Court of Justice's ruling from July 2024 that deemed Israel's occupation illegal & the UNSCR deeming settlements illegal, therefore it is legal to use force to repel their presence.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 2w agoKilling an illegally-present, occupying soldier is verbatim the most legal thing a person is allowed to do under every single international law.
the underlying fact that rarely gets highlighted in the recurring arguments about economic indicators/sentiment (especially by the 'chart guys' but also their critics) is that the numbers being talked about are abstract representations of certain aspects of a *social relation*
