The living Israeli hostages have been released as part of a ceasefire deal that also saw about 2000 Palestinian prisoners freed.

Wait, but why are the Israelis “hostages” and the Palestinians “prisoners”?

In today’s video, that’s the question we’re exploring:

"We have a rising new Dem star who really engages with people, and is sure to win their next election."

DEM LEADERSHIP: That's fantastic.

"What are the next steps?"

DEM LEADERSHIP: Simple. Force them to step aside and throw their support behind this 80-year-old lifetime politician.

I think the downtown lanes could be a lot safer. If they aren't safe they will only be used by a fraction of potentials. Currently they work for some but not all.

I think a lot of folks are forgetting how the US slow walked Ukraine arms for two years while they tried to bleed Russia dry.
Could have ended it but chose to try and use Ukraine to end Putin.

This is what we will have to do to stop this regime! A general strike that closes down the economy, transportation, education and only allows for essential services such as hospitals, fire and police. Please read!

How Do We Make a General Strike Happen in the US?

Historically, a general strike represents the most powerful tool available to the working class.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Just in case the dramatically low Leni Riefenstahl-style angle was too subtle, they used a word from her most famous movie

If you see tattoos on any “supposed” or alleged masked ICE agent, log it and call the police. Especially if they are sitting outside of grammar schools heavily armed. There are now masked men attacking citizens for taking photos on public streets in Chicago. www.adl.org/sites/defaul...

How come the next question isn't "you're the God damned speaker of the house. Why the fuck don't you know?"

You need to ask yourself why would American politicians from both sides of the isle be ok with this. Then you need to vote them out and make what made them rich actually illegal.

“You cannot understand [Israeli opinion on the war] without understanding the kind of blindness that the Israeli media promotes.”

While global news showed a humanitarian disaster, most outlets in Israel remained silent.

The rest of the world uses KG whether you care to acknowledge that or not. I guarantee you that aircraft are set up using metric and not whatever the hell they try to teach you folks in school.

Will they even bother with a false flag? I think they will just go back in.

SweetJimmy (he/him) @sweetjimmy72.bsky.social · 22h

I just got back from a trip to The Netherlands. You can't visit there and come away thinking bike lanes don't work. They don't work here because we set them up to fail.

Bruce “Spanky” McAllister shut down a students mic during the “Alberta Next” panel so that young man couldn’t get his message across…

Well…

Evan’s back.

AND he brought friends for a panel discussion on Alberta Education!

Also, Isreal just attacked Qatar and fat boy did nothing. The US can't be trusted.

Even their musical line ups contain pedos. The Nuge adopted his teenage girlfriend so he could then consent for her to marry him...

Since the last no kings March several blue cities have been overrun by the police and the folks from alligator Alcatraz have disapeared.
Maybe a parade every few months isn't enough...
From the outside looking in, I don't like the odds of a fair election in 13 months or an election at all.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

And nobody is talking about the fact that Isreal is totally going back in. They've already admitted it and the shooting has never stopped.

Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 1d

Very jarring how the media treats some lives as inherently and others not.

I am happy for hostages and their families to be reunited, but it’s shocking how little media attention is given to “how do Gazans grapple with the utter destruction of their homes, vast loss of lives, and ongoing famine.”
