This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Avigdor Liberman is a member of the Knesset, by the way.

This has always been OUR genocide. Israel doesn't control us and never has. We control Israel.

Honestly it's more than a little frustrating that a prominent Israeli politician just told one of the most hawkish Israeli media publications that the United States dictates Isrseli strikes in an ongoing genocide and it is getting absolutely zero attention.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

Help Kerry get a medical service pupper!!
ok confession time

I’ve been in the ICU for most of the last week & I’m struggling so so so hard

the doctor has suggested I
get a dog to help me, but I cannot afford the cost of a hypoallergenic dog, let alone the cost of a service dog

do we think this is even worth the attempt to fundraise? y/n
Just something for advertisers to consider:
Over a decade ago, I sat down to stream a show when streaming was still somewhat new, and it started with a few-second blurb that said "This program is brought to you ad-free by Visa." And there were no other ads.
I *still* think about that.
"We will hunt down the founders and leaders of common decency and bring down that organization from the top to the bottom!"
That's how stupid all this antifa screeching sounds. Fascists are surprisingly dumb.
Captain Tom is right out. Major Tom, on the other hand...

So one day after YouTube pays a $25M settlement to Trump, I get notice that they’re canceling Univision?

I'll put this marker down now: if we go into a shutdown and Dems actually hold the line and don't immediately cave, their poll numbers will go up

90% of the reason their numbers are so low with non-Rs is they've managed exactly zero concrete opposition so far
"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

Anti-fascism runs in my family.
Nobody should be subjected to this kind of senseless violence. My heart goes out to those in Grand Blanc who have been affected by this horrific attack.
I hope my LDS friends and neighbors will join me in demanding legislative action putting preventive safeguards on firearm ownership and possession.
