It’d be really funny if China building factories in Mexico causes NAFTA to collapse.

Climate change is going to kill the people who least deserve it.

At least when they’re desperate for votes they can be convinced to stay out of our way? 🤷‍♀️

.world loves to trot out the fact that highly skilled workers have sick leave now and it really pisses me off

The reality is 90% of workers have been able to get some form of sick leave, but 10,000 are still left with zero. It’s been years! If the unions had been allowed to strike they could and would have gotten sick leave for every single worker, probably immediately, but the most vulnerable were abandoned. That’s all that is possible without being allowed to strike. Imagine how much more was possible!

Just imagine what would have been possible if Biden hadn’t broken the rail strike.

I’m glad he realized doing that again would destroy Harris’s election chances. A lesson for labor: Democrats are only your friend when they need your votes.

Jesus fucking Christ

What if I told you that the entire global economy of rich nations is slipping. The best of a declining cohort isn’t really that good.

You think he’s going to give up power?

Blowback picked a really good time to talk about Nixon expanding the war into Cambodia to “”“end”“” the war in Vietnam.

Many people ask themselves what they would do if they were alive during the Holocaust.

The answer is you’re doing it. Right now.

The CNN article says nothing about a plan to “ethnically cleanse northern Gaza” (this is typical Hamas press bullshit). Israel simply wants the civilian population remaining in the Netzarim Corridor to withdraw from the area so they are not longer in line of fire

“They don’t want to ethnically cleanse northern Gaza, they just want every ethnic Palestinian to be removed from the area. Totally different!”

🤡

I don’t know enough about Portugal to argue with this. I know about French colonialism and the horrors they inflicted, and British colonialism and the horrors they inflicted, and those examples make me suspect that all colonialisms are going to produce the same horror.

But, I don’t know for sure. Haven’t read that history yet. I know there’s a lot of extremely violent racism in Brazil’s history, but that’s technically not Portugal so I can’t say for sure that reflects on Portugal itself.

Basically, I don’t know enough to argue about this 😅

(also pay no attention to that down vote you got - I promise it wasn’t me!)

Israel is a terrorist state.

Colorism still existed and exists in Portugal. I’ll grant that this is a more fluid system of discrimination than white supremacy which seems to make integration easier due to having less rigid sociopolitical structures, but it’s still present!

I do not believe fascism can function without ethnic hatred. Nationalism within imperialist countries always takes on a racial character, and it has to, because otherwise cross racial solidarity destabilizes the oppressive apparatus.

History books do mention the Germans that were opposed to the Holocaust.

Mexico, being a US neighbor, is probably basing some of this decision off of the shit show happening across the border. I suppose that does bias their decision making.

I guess we’ll see how it works out, since this looks like a done deal.

That serves Zionism. Making other countries less safe for Jews means they’re more likely to flee to Israel. It’s a feedback loop.

Must Jews be constantly disavowing every new horrible thing Zionists lie about? It’s not as if there aren’t Jews condemning Zionism more broadly.

Jewish Voice for Peace, IfNotNow, the many Jewish members of the different Students for Justice in Palestine groups, quite a few of the Uncommitted delegates were Jewish, need I go on?

The fact that you don’t believe there are Jews opposed to genocide is, in fact, the result of an antisemitic media campaign to smear all Jews as pro-Israel.
