AOC punching left. Go pound sand. Don't you have a Killer Kamala rally to be at?
Your confused. Self-immolation isn't about self-punishment anymore than any other protest method.
I opposed Biden because of the genocide. Then I was excited about Kamala because I thought she would be better, but after a few weeks, it's clear she does not represent a change from Biden. So now I'm apathetic again.
Killer Kamala?
Same. I wanted to believe so badly. I would honestly accept the smallest hint that she was going to be different. Something to tell myself as I pull the lever. But if anything, she is toeing the line even more carefully than she did before.
Kamala Harris issued a Whitehouse statement condemning Hamas after the body of an American hostage was found last week:
Hamas is an evil terrorist organization. With these murders, Hamas has even more American blood on its hands. I strongly condemn Hamas’ continued brutality, and so must the entire world.
...
As Vice President, I have no higher priority than the safety of American citizens, wherever they are in the world.
Will this be the trigger for her to use equally strong language to condemn Israel, who has killed 30 times more people in the ongoing genocide than Hamas? Or will she just reiterate as she did in her recent CNN interview that:
I’m unequivocal and — and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself.
...
CNN Reporter: But no change in policy in terms of arms and — and so forth?
No.
Does she care about all Americans, or only those whose deaths justify continuing this genocide?
I look forward to Kamala Harris restating her unconditional commitment to Israel's "right to defend itself."
In backyard ultras, where competitors keep running until they can no longer maintain a pace of approximately 4 mph, the male record is 50% longer at 450 miles than the female record of 300 miles.
Even in endurance racing, men outperform women as a rule. It's true that women do occasionally win coed races, but that's not common.
You're describing the backyard ultra. The male record is 450 miles over 4.5 days. The female record is 308 miles over 3 days.
The men's world record marathon time is 9% faster than the women's. That's significant. The male runner would finish over two miles ahead of the female runner.
"hate" is already a noun (in addition to being a verb). The "ness" suffix is superfluous.
And Democrats
Progressives aren't going to get a candidate we like this year. And you know what, that's ok. I wasn't going to vote for Genocide Joe, but I'll do everything in my power to put in office Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, or whoever else milquetoast neolib gets the establishment nod, if only to prevent Trump from taking office.
Just about anyone can beat Trump. Now that we don't have a senile old man holding us back, we'll be fine.
Who cares if it's Kamala? She's not senile, she's not Genocide Joe, and she's not an unhinged fascist. She's a shoe-in.
Lol. Yeah, leftists have famously supported Genocide Joe unconditionally. /s
Philadelphia’s WURD says host violated editorial independence by accepting questions from Biden’s team
The outlet, which describes itself as Pennsylvania’s only African American-owned and operated radio station, also said the White House’s decision to supply questions to Lawful-Sanders prolonged a historical practice of marginalizing and “de-legitimizing Black voices” in US media.
"Lawful-Sanders was one of two battleground state radio hosts who aired an interview with Biden on 4 July and described being given questions by the president’s staff ahead of the conversation."
With high levels of people seeking asylum, and after failed attempts to pass reforms, Biden has presented his most aggressive restrictions yet
To suspend the number of people who can apply for asylum, Biden is relying on the same mechanism Donald Trump turned to during his presidency: section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
But in the 40 years since the US created its asylum system, no other Democrat suspended people’s ability to seek refuge in the US – an international right.
Moreover, under the order, people apprehended near the border will have to “manifest” their fear of prosecution if deported, and will not be explicitly asked by immigration officials, as has been the case for decades. This practice, known unofficially as a “shout test”, could turn back those who could still be eligible for protections.
Board tried to stop publication of article by Palestinian human rights lawyer and closed website when student editors refused
Student editors at the Columbia Law Review say they were pressured by the journal’s board of directors to halt publication of an academic article written by a Palestinian human rights lawyer that accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and upholding an apartheid regime.
When the editors refused the request and published the piece on Monday morning, the board – composed of faculty and alumni from Columbia University’s law school – shut down the law review’s website entirely. It remained offline on Tuesday evening, a static homepage informing visitors the domain “is under maintenance”.
