ira@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•World Court says atrocities committed by Israeli military in Gaza are undeniable ‘facts’English43·1 year agoKeep it civil please, and engage in good faith.
Al Mayadeen is not Hezbollah funded, no matter how many conspiracies people try to make up.
Should I bring up all the genocide denial in your post history? Claims that “Hamas uses teenage soldiers extensively”? Do you still think most people in the World News community here “seem to not consider Israeli’s as human”?
No matter how many reports you use to try to hide genocide, the truth will still come out.
ira@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•World Court says atrocities committed by Israeli military in Gaza are undeniable ‘facts’English25·1 year agoThe factuality rating is the same as they’ve rated many other sources such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, Salon, Daily Beast, Boing Boing, etc. The ratings are fairly skewed.
Even your rating site says they’ve not failed any fact checks.
ira@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.world•Biden issues executive order targeting Israeli settlers who attack PalestiniansEnglish121·1 year agoAnd Ben-Gvir is still the National Security Minister, completely untouched.
But at least he finally took down his tribute to a mass killer that’s been hanging in his home for decades. Small steps, right? I wonder if he ever gave Rabin’s hood ornament back.
Quite an interesting contrast between how the US dealt with Soleimani vs. Ben-Gvir.

ira@lemmy.mlto Politics@beehaw.org•Supreme Court to decide if gun bans for domestic abusers are constitutional4·1 year agoUnfortunately they’ve either learned nothing, or are more than happy to let it happen again - this time with the military. By 2026 or so there’s a very real chance that the military will be full of far right appointees that have no qualms about using nuclear weapons on population centers, carrying out genocides, employing the military against the American people, etc. etc. Just like the judiciary in 2014-2016, the military is full of vacancies waiting for the next far right president to fill overnight as soon as he takes power.

ira@lemmy.mlto Politics@beehaw.org•As inflation falls, GOP may have to rethink attacks on Biden economyEnglish3·2 years agoThis is a pretty optimistic view. Inflation is (mostly) a one way street. The rate at which prices are rising might have slowed down, but the prices themselves aren’t going to go back down. That damage is already done. Come next year, I don’t think people are going to be thinking “I’m paying an extra dollar for a big mac than I was 4 years ago, but at least it didn’t go up another dollar this year too”

The top 10% of Americans own 70% of the country’s wealth.
Have you ever stopped to consider the logical conclusions of that? If they lived at the same standard as the average American, we would only need to use 30% of the resources we’re currently burning through. It’s grossly inefficient. We waste more than 2/3rds of our resources so that rich assholes can live in $100 million mansions and fly around on private jets.
Say you’re an American working a 9 to 5 job. Once you hit 1 pm on Tuesday, you’ve done enough work for the week to meet all the actual needs for society. The rest of Tuesday, all of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are all just to pay for rich assholes to take a “hunting” trip to Africa and needlessly slaughter native wildlife. Or to buy the 400th car in their special collections that they’ve nearly forgotten about. Etc. Etc.
70% of the irreplaceble oil being drilled? Flushed down the drain just so that rich assholes can horde wealth. 70% of the pollution in the air? Put there so that billionaires can have parties on a private island. So that they can fly their private jets to private retreats and pretend to be outdoorspeople for a weekend. 70% of the new extreme weather being caused by anthropogenic climate change? All so that rich assholes can do things like jet around the world so they can say they’ve played a round of golf on 7 different continents in 7 days. Etc. Etc.
It’s nowhere near sustainable.
No, that was for other judicial nominees. McConnell extended it to Supreme Court nominees in 2017 after 2 failed cloture votes on Gorsuch’s nomination. Which he obviously wouldn’t have done if Hillary won.
Even with a strict definition, gerrymandering is still absolutely a thing with presidential elections, with Dakota boundaries being drawn to break it into two states to give Republicans twice as many electoral votes.
Right? Hillary wins, Democrats still have less than 60 in the Senate, and no Supreme Court justices get appointed, including RBG’s seat after she passes. Next Republican president wins, Kennedy retires, and Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barret still get appointed. The end.
Rafah is pretty much the last place for people to go, that’s why 3/4ths of the population is there at this point. There aren’t any “safe zones”.
