there are 40* people who could receive the commutation, I don't think it's outlandish to suggest these people should also not be killed, if you believe in the death penalty fine, but Joe Biden is apparently a devout Catholic who at some point didn't believe in it so what's stopping him from commuting all the sentences

As a presidential candidate in 2020, Biden promised he’d be different. His official platform provided unequivocally, “Democrats continue to support abolishing the death penalty.” The Biden-Harris 2020 campaign website promised, “Biden will work to pass legislation to eliminate the death penalty at the federal level, and incentivize states to follow the federal government’s example.” The position was bold, clear, and absolute.

They are definitely not inherently good or bad it depends on the place, but if there is 1 child born per woman in the country, that means the country given enough time will pretty rapidly shrink, unless they change something about people not wanting to have kids or allow immigration
They also have security deposits on top of that
There are far more in times of active conflict like now, including rockets from places like Iran and Yemen, people especially those with resources don't want to hear sirens in their cosmipolitan city, they don't want to go hide in a bomb shelter in their basement even if it's unlikely they won't get hit
Wait until you find out it is normal to tip your landlord there
If I were to guess the primary concern of those leaving it would probably be to go some place that doesn't regularly have rockets fired at it
it is not bad journalism though, there is a big difference between trying to increase your clickthrough and bad journalism, it doesn't change the meaning of the title when you say slam vs saying criticize, putting more exciting words in the titles you could maybe make an analogy to all the YouTubers who started making Mr Beast face in the thumbnail, the video or in this case the article is the same, they are just trying to get a higher click through rate and I really can't blame them, they are not making money hand over fist doing this
Definitely a wait and see for the motive, could very easily be an interpersonal thing vs a killing the bosses thing
it is irresistible to the redditor mind to complain about the word slam in a title of an article
The Russians do not like Israel
This is not even remotely true, you should probably read up on Russian Israeli relations, while they do engage with groups like Hamas and ally themselves with states opposed to Israel like Iran, Russia and Israel have a very close relationship

or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–Russia_relations if you prefer
it is interesting it is TASS reporting this though, you would think they wouldn't bother writing about this unless it was in the Russian state's interest to do so
my bad & no worries
That is delusional, it is a propaganda outlet, they report what is in the interest of the US state/business class to report regardless of whether it is true or not
I'll try that next time, if that doesn't work I'll use catbox, thanks
I think I just posted this image badly, can you see my posts on December 12th or 13th in this community okay? I would rather use Elon's bandwith for the image if the picture is already there to begin with
can't say I'm a huge fan of Nick Cruse or the rest of RBN, but a graph's a graph I guess
Does this person think VOA is not currently a propaganda tool to control messaging abroad?
What do they think Russia Today is if they don't think VOA is doing that?
Also barely anyone in the US reads VOA or watches it, it's almost entirely designed for international propaganda. His base would rather just watch fox news or OANN
they are thinking you can arrest anyone for any amount of time for opposing the state of Israel and recieve almost no pushback for doing so and they are largely right
nvm they are transcribed in this article
and from this article
Following administration’s response, the University’s chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) released a counterstatement addressing widespread claims of the posters’ antisemitic intentions.
“Antisemitism is bigotry or hatred against Jewish people on the basis of their identity and we unequivocally oppose it,” the JVP statement read. “It is not, however, antisemitic to criticize the Israeli government and military that is committing war crimes.”
there are pictures in this article, though they are poor quality
