Agree with you both, to the ladies it was LVP’s audacity to bring it to camera that was worse than what Dorit did

#OtD 30 Jan 1968 Vietnamese anti-colonial forces launched the Tet offensive. While it was a tactical failure with huge casualties it showed that US propaganda that victory was imminent was a lie and spurred anti-war sentiment, including amongst US troops workingclasshistory.com/2018/...

A wider field view of Westerlund 1. A dense cluster of bright stars, each with six large and two small diffraction spikes, due to the telescope’s optics. They have a variety of sizes depending on their brightness and distance from us in the cluster, and different colours reflecting different types of star. Patches of billowing red gas can be seen in and around the cluster, lit up by the stars. Small stars in the cluster blend into a background of distant stars and galaxies on black.

The mass migration to Red Note after the TikTok ban is perhaps the worst blowback I’ve seen the US State experience in my lifetime.

The cafΓ© is decorated with flowers, potted plants, and books. The rain is beginning to stop, soft sunlight shining through the large windows beside their table.

Is there some kind of German word that could describe the evil spirit of Joe Biden? English fails me

Liberals on X were telling me Trump was going to nuke Gaza with glee because I wouldn't vote for a Genocidaire.

Now there's a ceasefire deal and they want to credit Biden.

This was Biden's Genocide.

Chalk drawings by children and adults in Naarm (Melbourne AU) a few months ago after the Sunday rally for Palestine. Sharing for people in Gaza. Praying this ceasefire holds and Gazans can return to their homes and start rebuilding their lives. Much love and glory to those who taught us everything 🌹

Biden has just announced that the next two Gerald R. Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be named for two former presidents: Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

Two parties divided by pronouns, united by imperial war. Hope people start learning class consciousness.

Remember the Paradox of Tolerance. If you are on the side of the people, you have to fight for the rights of ALL the people. You can't leave out one group or the other just because they "weird you out" or you "have questions" about them.

On the other hand, you *should* hate those who are hateful.

I wonder when scientists will decipher what percentage of the climate crisis war mongers like the NYT are responsible? Scientists can also tell us how war and genocide kills our planet and that you can’t bomb people to peace, but NYT is the propaganda arm of empire trying to make it look respectable

You might be tempted to say something like "wellllll they're both presidents they have to be friendly in public" Absolutely no the fuck they don't, especially not if Democrats actually were as afraid of Trump as they pretend to be.

APAB. And the "p" here stands for both presidents and parties.
