They simply have nothing to offer other than parroting the republicans. It’s pathetic

Some images of Buddhist and Christian funerals following the battle of Demoso. As can be seen here, Christian, Buddhist, and Muslim people fought alongside one another against the Junta, as they do all over Myanmar.

Today 8/8, is an important day in Burmese history. It’s the day the 8888 uprising began its mass phase. The state then, just as it does now, reacted with horrific violence.
These events inspired Naing Myanmar to write Kabar Makay Bu, which you can hear in our podcast as it was used in 2021.

It’s disappointing to see The Nation suggesting that permitless carry is evidence that “we live in Hell.” We know Dr King was denied a permit, and granting cops the right to decide who gets to protect themselves is a deeply reactionary position.

Fucking insane that we have opinion writers who have been too cowardly to ever step foot in a conflict zone or share in the danger they advocate for others to be put in denying this is happening. Meanwhile, our fellow journalists are dying and they have been for nearly two years.

don’t believe it is actually, here’s the relevant section. As much as this sucks, and as much as people would like to believe the Olympics stand for inclusion, they never have. I prefer David Goldblatt’s framing of them as a gathering of the transnational bourgeoisie.

WaPo just a decade or so behind on this. This whole story is basically a cliff notes version of Todd Miller’s 2014 book and tons of other actual reporting. If your readers don’t know this, that’s your fault.

De Maio is mischaracterizing this. Newsom would need to have an ffl transfer the gun to a ca ffl, and do some paperwork but the idea he couldn’t do that without legal counsel is ridiculous. Laws governing donations to politicians are another story. sad that our legislators don’t understand our laws
