Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms: A Decolonized Model of Humanitarian Aid As war rages in Sudan, where the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been locked in a brutal conflict since April 2023, a remarkable grassroots movement…

Y’all, a friend of mine helped create the Free Sudan Gazette and I highly recommend checking it out

I’ve entertained the possibility the lack of an endorsement is kayfabe, but I’m not convinced it’s not just racism and greed.

Waiting for the popularism bros to sweep in with, “actually, we found that a lot of white working class men like Nazi tattoos.”

why the hell are they confirming trump's judges when trump's speaker of the house won't swear in Grijalva?

I was just informed that is normal kid stuff and it’s impossible to infer anything about someone’s character from this arc. 🙃

Yeah the DNC sucks and I'm sick of centrists too but fun fact, a coordinated smear campaign about your Nazi tattoo and history with Blackwater "War Crimes Inc" only works if you have a Nazi tattoo and worked for War Crimes Inc

I take it you agree with utopia deferred’s claim that falling for potential Nazis who use the right slogans is a risk that must be accepted to avoid politics-negating cynicism, then?

Just to complete the loop: If only people pretending to be leftists gave obvious signs they don’t value human life.

So your issue isn’t that he seems to be cool with violence against members of a specific ethnic group because of their ethnicity, but specifically the Nazi angle?

When I see that, I see nihilism and a disregard for the lives of people in the Middle East.

People typically excuse signing up for Iraq/Afghanistan by saying they signed up after 9/11. Graham Platner *protested* the Iraq War in 2003. Then, he signed up to, in this words, “play soldier.” Then, Afghanistan. Then, PTSD treatment. Then, Afghanistan again with Blackwater.

Welfare cuts have fuelled rise of far right and populism, top UN expert says Exclusive: Poverty rapporteur says governments must rethink welfare state as essential to fabric of society

In today's episode of "water wets things," we once again see that letting billionaires steal the wealth working people create helps usher in authoritarianism:

"The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has said that it has three months' worth of supplies to feed and care for all 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza. ... [I]t has continued to be blocked by Israel, which has only allowed in a 'trickle' of aid so far."

Additional ideas:

This is so awful. Never forget that the first law in the United States written explicitly to deny people was targeted at Chinese immigrants and impacted people in this neighborhood.

This is historical continuity of the worst sort.

If only there were obvious signs, like his career, that he might not be super committed to ideas like universal human rights?

This seems to be an issue with the party overall.

the thing about the Platner tattoo is that it gives the national political media an opportunity to say Nazism is a "both sides problem," which is what makes it disastrous even for those who want to argue against bad intentions. If you can't get a clean political hit on this topic, you've lost.

BNP Paribas found liable in US court for role in Sudan genocide BNP Paribas found liable in US court for role in Sudan genocide

The logic that helped Israeli liberals commit genocide By attaching a military goal to each act of killing, Israelis of all stripes could partake in the slaughter without questioning the morality of their actions.

"What lies at the heart of all of these justifications is the dehumanization of Palestinians. The soldiers who slaughtered 300 people to kill a single Hamas operative told me they probably would not have done so if one Jewish child had been in the building."

White people pretend they can't pronounce MAM-DA-NI but have no problem pronouncing Krzyzewski. Suspect AF.

The debate isn’t “moderate vs. progressive.” It’s “accommodate a corrupt system vs. confront it.” Voters aren’t asking for moderation—they’re asking: who will clean this up?

The New York Times Argues “Moving to the Center Is the Way to Win.” But the Data Shows the Strategy Is Tapped Out. Democrats already run moderates in nearly every swing district. It's not enough. A data-driven response to the case for centrism as a core electoral strategy.

"When electoral gains from moderation have been exhausted—when Democrats are running moderates in every competitive district and still losing—the task isn’t to moderate harder. It’s to give voters reason to believe politics can deliver real change." data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-new-yo...

For Third Year, California Kills Bill to Help Incarcerated Domestic Violence Survivors Advocates in California have pushed for relief for people convicted of harming their abuser, hoping to build on states across the political spectrum that have adopted such reforms.

Survivors of domestic violence who went to prison for crimes related to their abuse have for years asked California lawmakers to make courts take that abuse into consideration. For the third year, California killed such a reform.

There’s usually a hidden premise in the rhetorical one-two of complaining about purity testing and calling for a big tent. These conversations are never about who is allowed to join a demonstration or volunteer their time, energy, or resources locally. People want authority over the tent.
