I agree that Christian fascists have been feeling emboldened these last few years, but when has this country not been led by the Christian right? Was it a bunch of leftists running the show during the Jim Crow era? Was it the communists who rounded up indigenous children and put them in residential schools to beat their culture out of them? Decade after decade, this nation's history is dominated by Christian extremists doing absolutely horrible shit, but now it's serious?
It is serious, but it's always been serious. It was serious when they killed Michael Brown. It was serious when they killed Martin Luther King. It's been serious for as long as things have been serious, and for the US, that goes back to this nation's original sins: slavery and genocide.

Blinken, had hamas accepted this deal 12 days ago, think of all of the people we wouldn't have killed in gaza?
How to spot an abuser? They use abuser language.

Blinken never mentions that Israel could decide to stop killing Palestinians today. No one is forcing Israel to kill Palestinians. They're doing it because they choose to do so.
No one is forcing Biden to arm Israel's genocide. Biden chooses to do so.

The reason western "liberal" democracies struggle with stopping the rise of fascism is because they're not equipped to fight the right. Liberals are there to make money - they're capitalists. Capitalism is fertile ground for the fascists to plant their seeds of hate and violence.

Look, war is creating more refugees. More refugees for the fascists to scream about. It's almost like they're doing this on purpose.

Al Jazeera reports that in May Israeli fascists shot an 8-year-old boy in the neck for no reason. He's now paralyzed and his family is on the hook for $13,000 in medical bills. Israel literally is making money off of Palestinian children that they shoot but don't kill.

The massacres in Gaza in the last 2 days have killed nearly 300 people - many children.

And this isn't the first time the pier has been used for military purposes.

Sudan is horrific right now too. No one can help these people?

Biden getting squishy about the genocide in Gaza is classic Democrat.
Biden won't actually stop the genocide, but he would rather people didn't refer to him as Genocide Joe. So he setup that temporary pier. He boasts about a few truckloads of aid getting into gaza while there's literal famine. People are literally starving to death.
But when it all comes down to it, Dems choose money and power over people every goddamn time.
The don't realize it now, but the Dems are done. People are fed up with the same old bullshit, and the party can not keep up with the times. One thing we can do is to boycott the democratic party. To make it be the thing everyone hates.
Until we destroy the two-party system, this country will never realize substantive change/progress. It's too corrupt, and there's no hiding that fact any more. The "gatekeepers" of the truth are over. People aren't relying on the New York Times to tell them what's going on. We can see the lies and the corruption. We can see the violence and the environmental destruction.
Enough with the bullshit.
Break the system.
Scream so loud that they have to listen.

the dems keep thinking we'll accept the unacceptable, and until now, we have collectively accepted the unacceptable.
but now, with these young leaders showing us the way, those days are over.
dems aren't able to make the lesser of two evils argument. genxers were sick of that shit 30 years ago, and the younger folks always thought it was bullshit. now we got a genocide, and the planet is on fire ... no more bullshit. time's up.
