How do you prevent counterrevolution without a state?
I had never heard of Sabra hummus in my life before this
You also didn't know hummus is kosher, maybe step back and leave this conversation to people with enough proximity to Arab culture to know what hummus is or enough proximity to jewish culture to know how kosher works.
Oh no, won't somebody think of the poor landlords?
“THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”
― Mark Twain
Yes, there's a monochrome display in the middle. It's kinda like a TI-86 calculator aimed at children.
It's not the democratic politicians who were robbed. It's the democratic politicians who were complicit in us getting robbed of our rights.
Yup, the only reason we got Harris to replace Biden was that it was made clear that Biden didn't have a snowball's chance in hell.
Sadly, it was not made clear enough that it was a policy issue, so now we have Harris adopting every unpopular republican policy she can manage.
It's kinda crazy that 3 nuclear armed countries have periodic armed skirmishes.
Yeah no, that entire video is equating zionists with Jews, which is antisemetic as fuck.
Being Jewish doesn't require the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, being Zionist does.
Acting as if Israel eviscerates children in their homes due to Judaism and not Israel being a settler-colonial project is just blood libel.
kosher brand of hummus
All hummus is kosher.
it’s not about your intention it’s about how you are perceived.
Everyone knows Sabra as "the shitty grocery store hummus", virtually nobody knew the Hebrew translation of Sabra.
That's what I learned in school, but there's been some research since suggesting stars produces significant quantities of elements up to lead during their lifetimes, even though it's a net energy loss.
Make it yourself, it's just chickpeas, tahini, a little oil, salt, and whatever else you feel like adding.
With a stick blender it's trivial.
No, tomato sauce (and unripe tomatoes) are poisonous to cats.
Not really important, but a capitalist is someone who has a significant amount of capital.
Someone who supports the existence of capitalism is called a liberal.
I don't like those losers. I like the generals who knew where to put the suitcase.
That one specific group experiences oppression due to being trans in America they don't experience in Iran.
It’s a simple flowchart: are they even slightly pro-Israel? F tier. Are they right-wing? F tier.
Well yes, obviously in a tier chart about understanding arab culture, people who support their genocide are going to be F tier.
If black people did a tier list ranging from "invited to the cookout" to "puts raisins in mac and cheese", would you expect open racists to be in anything but F tier?
It’s what these fake progressive losers like to call a “dog whistle”.
What's more likely, that a bunch of people who ban antisemites from their communities and one of whom is jewish, are all secret antisemites trying to signal their antisemitism to other antisemites, or they were referring to the garbage hummus nobody who understands arab culture be caught dead eating?
Yes, the point is a binary trans Iranian who wants surgery is less oppressed in Iran on the axis of being trans than in America, but they're quite obviously worse for someone in nearly any other position.
This kinda thing can't be reduced to a single number, how do you compare the US, where trans people often can't afford HRT in the best states, and are literally unable to get it in Florida, to Iran, where it's free, but surgery is mandatory and being gay is punishable by death?
A place where hatecrimes aren't uncommon, but there is some level of legal protection, to a place with far fewer hatecrimes/discrimination, but no special legal protections?
Sabra is the garbage hummus at the grocery store. If they meant Jewish, they wouldn't have put an arab and an open antisemite in that category.
Literally anyone who is in an opposition party and won an election.
FEMA camps
Back during the Bush and Obama years, I remember hearing so many right-wing conspiracies about FEMA camps.
Why didn't anyone ask "If FEMA has the ability to set up camps and transport large numbers of people, why aren't they doing that every time there's a big hurricane or wildfire?"
Maersk profits crash as western missions fail to stop Yemen's Red Sea blockade.
Yemen continues to enforce a blockade on Israeli-linked ships despite US naval operations to stop them
Looks like it's having a measurable effect.
Kamala pledges to pass border bill
A complete transcript of the vice president's speech on July 30, 2004 in Atlanta
The bill in question is the one Biden tried to pass, but was blocked by republicans after Trump called it a bad bill, despite containing only things the republicans want.
It would enable the president to shut down the border and gives billions to ICE, CPB, US Marshals, etc to increase detention capacity, train additional personnel, etc. It also gave billions to Israel and Ukraine.
Kamala gonna have the immigrant vote locked up.
Democrats resubmit border shutdown bill
The bipartisan border enforcement compromise, blocked by Republicans in February, is all but certain to be thwarted again. Democrats aim to tag the G.O.P. as the culprit in its failure.
>Among other changes to immigration law, the measure would make it more difficult to gain asylum in the United States and increase detentions and deportations of those crossing into the country without authorization. It would also effectively close the border altogether if the average number of migrants encountered by immigration officials exceeded a certain threshold — an average of 5,000 over the course of a week or 8,500 on any given day. The bill also would give the president power to close the border unilaterally if migrant encounters reach an average of 4,000 per day over a week.
