This is absolutely the thing that's stopping more people from coming over here. When I pitched everyone on migrating yesterday, this was the #1 concern. Sorry but it is crazy for this website to not have group chats in 2025 lol

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.

🧵 Thank you everyone for bearing with me as I share the Irish presidential election. I know most of you are US/UK so to explain the role of the Irish President a Uachtarán na hÉireann, is mostly ceremonial. However, it is seen as the most important election & role in the state [1]

I think one of the biggest cleavages in our society that no one talks about is the division between those that think powerful people must be held to a higher standard than non-powerful people and those who think powerful people should be flattered and sucked up to.

A legend who fully understands the struggle

STATEMENT OF LEONARD PELTIER
Greetings Comrades, Brothers & Sisters,
I send to you and the Palestinian people my strongest solidarity during this critical period in the struggle of the P.L.O. and Lebanese people against the forces of U.S. and Israeli aggression!
Myself, members of the American Indian Movement (AIM), Leonard Peltier Defense Cormittee and its support groups stand in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people for their traditional land.
We understand your struggle based on our continuing war against the
U.S. goverment and their attempts to annhilate us as a PEOPLE, and to steal what remains of our traditional land as shown by their action at Wounded Knee, Big Mountain and most recently at Lame Deer on the Northern Cheyenne nation.
The Israeli troops, in carrying out their genocidal campaign, are acting today as the 7th Calvary acted in the past and continues to act in Indian Country.
THEY are the war criminals who will be tried for their butchery of the Lebanese and Palestinian people in Lebanon! If I were free today I would take our RED warriors to fight side by side with the freedom fighters of the P.L.O. to smash the imperialist forces of the U.S. and Israel. I know that the forces of liberation must and shall come together to fight as a united front in the unity of the four colors. We as RED warriors call upon the YELLOW, BLACK AND WHITE freedom fighters to stand united with the P.L.O. in uncompromising solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese people's struggle against the zionist forces of Israel.
I send my love and blood as a prisoner of war within the belly of the beast to those who continue the struggle.
VICTORY TO THE PALESTINIAN AND LEBANESE FREEDOM FIGHTERS!
VICTORY TO THE P.L.O.!
Leonard Peltier, P.O.W.

The problem with arguing on the internet is you'll be debating about what happens in your favorite movie you've seen 10 times with someone who has never actually watched the 90 minute movie but has watched 57 hours of video essays explaining the themes and thinks that's just the same.

you simply do not "have to hand it to" any generation of the young republicans, and if you're a reformed former young republican the appropriate place to discuss your feelings about it is a therapist's office

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rana. Rana was studying to work in a medical laboratory before the war and her husband owned a small gift shop. Their home and shop were destroyed. They have two children Hamoud, 3 and Tota, 7. Hamoud’s eyes were injured and needs treatment.
