It’s been a rogue state for decades, they call it ‘American Exceptionalism’, and the ‘patriotic Americans’ are happy about it.

And the Democrat leader Schumer says his job is to keep the left pro-Israel, there is no redeemable politician in power here. If we had real justice they would all be hanged for supporting genocide.

Tell me one single thing democrats have done to slow down the current administration. Biden even opened up new immigration camps as he was leaving office, they had all but rolled out the red carpet for Trump.

What do you mean about numbers? The state and it’s guards are always massively outnumbered by the people, it’s just a question of organization.

Democrats have enabled this, did you not see the crackdowns and illegal abductions at universities before Trump was elected? These parties are two sides of the same pro-capital fascist coin. MAGA republicans are more openly fascist, but do you see any serious resistance from elected Democrats?

Maybe we need a app that will notify people that something is happening so they can flood the area even more with people who will stand in front of the vehicle.

That used to be Twitter if you knew the pages to follow. It was effective for calling for action at specific places/times during protests, it was no surprise Musk bought it and ruined it. With all major tech companies aligned with fascism it would be tough for a new app like this to become popular.

Trump isn’t an exception, if US presidents could be tried for warcrimes there would be several things to charge him with from his first term already.

The official death toll is around 43k but estimates range much higher, likely over 100,000. The entire healthcare system in Gaza has collapsed so they cannot identify and put an official tally on many of those killed.

She can say whatever she wants, she has been part of the administration funding this genocide, she could have used her position to be more firm about stopping the aggression from Israel but has been nothing but supportive, regardless of what sham talks of ceasefire they may have tried to claim. Is there any evidence that she will take action that would be meaningfully different than what Trump would do?

Join the IDF and see for yourself then. Why do you think there is a crisis of morale in the IDF? There was an interview from an IDF soldier talking how emotionally taxing it was for him to drive a bulldozer over dozens of people. Even Israeli news points out how horrific the average actions of the IDF are.

If a group of militants decided to have a meeting in the basement of a fully occupied apartment building in NYC, you believe it would be ethical for the US military to destroy the building and kill hundreds of people in their homes?

Supporting genocide seems like a pretty good redline to focus on though. When both candidates promise to maintain or increase the genocide, why does this sham of a democracy deserve to be supported? This electoral system and US imperialism doesn’t have to be endless, partaking in the process only serves to legitimize the horrors commited daily.

They have attacked the IDF many times and secured numerous casualities, just recently they struck an IDF intelligence unit with drones killing dozens, resulting in the commander’s resignation.

This attack is a warcrime based on treaties that Israel has itself signed to, and has been recognized as such for decades.

I have seen that said, but I haven’t seen it to be true

People do on occasion, like there were armed leftists that prevented police from raiding encampments in Texas, and at some protests there have been organized armed groups like John Brown Gun Clubs or Socialist Rifle Associations. Several people that argued for more militant resistance to state violence were murdered in 2020, and many times for decades before that, so a lot of people are scared and not organized sufficiently, but there are groups that have been preparing.

I’d allow it, as long as they let Americans serving with anti-Zionist resistance groups get the benefits too.

This is an A-Lister commie board, we have Ryan Gosling too!

Edit: whoops I thought this was a hexbear post but my point stands, less commie though

Is it advertised with plastic in it or just an abrasive? I have a scrub that contains walnut shell to exfoliate the skin

True that. There have been successful lawsuits for obstruction of first amendment rights for similar actions but I’m sure most people wouldn’t go through the trouble of that, or have the means to.

I could be misremembering the details, but I read about a case of a cop wrongfully arresting a Black Panther member in the 60s or 70s, his friend shot the cop, and his charges were dropped because it was determined to be self-defense. I think the cop was plain-clothes which would have made a difference I’m sure, but I can’t imagine that happening today in any US court.

I have noticed when I’ve seen protests with armed groups involved, even just a handful of John Brown Gun Club members for example, the police are much less willing to mass arrest or escalate, for obvious reason. Though I think the student protests in this instance are going for optics of peace and non-violence so they probably don’t want that.
