@mapto @JoshuaHolland They voted Hamas into power in 2006. At no time have the 1.45 million adults who are not Hamas fighters appealed to the UN or any other nation to help them remove the terrorists org. At no time have those 1.45 million adults tried to stop rockets from being fired into Israel on a near daily basis over the last 16 years. There have been no protests anywhere over *Hamas* controlling Palestinian lives.
Anderson Cooper had on a former Israeli intel chief who said, "The noncombatant population in the Gaza strip is really a nonexistent term because all of the Gazans voted for Hamas, and...most of the population in the Gaza strip are Hamas."
Cooper didn't push back.
Again, #Hamas won an election with 44.5% of the vote 17 years ago, before around half of the population of #Gaza were born, and then seized complete power in a bloody civil war with Fatah.

@Coffeechai ""The returning abductees are accompanied by an IDF force and are now in Israeli territory.
An elite IDF unit and a Shin Bet force are currently accompanying the returning abductees, after they underwent an initial assessment of their medical condition in Israeli territory. Our forces are escorting the returnees until they reach their families in the hospitals.
IDF commanders and soldiers salute and embrace the returning abductees upon their return home.
We will continue to work together with the security system bodies for the return of all abducted men and women.
The IDF spokesperson asks the public to show patience and sensitivity and to respect the privacy of the returnees and their families."
Hamas has refused to abide by the ceasefire in letting the Red Cross have access to the hostages.
Is this the ceasefire that everyone is asking for, a unilateral one, only from Israel to Gaza? Where is Hamas's responsibility in abiding by the terms of the agreement?
Indefensible what #Texas & other states) are doing to public #education. "States with significant budget surpluses must make significant investments in teachers and public schools. This includes states like Texas, where the $32.7 billion surplus could be used to attract and retain professional educators, a step toward redressing chronically low pay." #BookBans, lack of $ for student #mental health, inadequate #pay -- it's all designed to create a #ConfederacyofDunces. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/education-poverty-teachers
What newly elected Argentinian president Javier #Milei has promised to do is a combination of impossibility, and inhuman barbarity.
#PublicEducation - gone
#Healthcare - gone
Women's rights - gone
#LGBTQ rights - gone
Environmental protections - gone
Taxation on the wealthy - gone
#Labor rights - gone
Milei haș taken it so far as to say that #poor people should sell their body parts, children, and organs to wealthy people for rent and medical expenses.
Quote from article: And now House Speaker Mike Johnson wants to gut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid because “we’re drowning in debt.” What he fails to mention is that 100% of our nation’s $34 trillion debt was caused by Reagan, Bush, and Trump tax cuts along with the $10 billion in illegal wars Bush and Cheney lied us into.
From The Intellectualist at the hellsite, here's Senator Mike Braun [R-IN] saying he's open to SCOTUS changing settled law and depriving people of equal protection in** mixed racial marriages.**
Thus allowing states to reimplement old miscegenation laws, or banning so-called mixed ethnic marriages, requiring SCOTUS overturn *Loving v Virginia* in 1967.
These are confederate radicals.

This is great news, because AC will become necessary for survival in some heavily populated areas by 2030

@Coffeechai I'm wondering if they know where the hostages are. They've refused to provide lists & refused to allow the ICRC visit the hostages. This is very disturbing.
It's that time of the year again: We're #lookingforwork! If you need someone to translate your game into Spanish (or Basque), give us a holler!
We have plenty of experience with LGBT-themed games, with a heavy emphasis on visual novels and narrative experiences, but we're ready to take on anything! (And we've won some translation awards 👀)

This understanding of the founding of the nation is critical. Recognizing that this nation is defined to separate rule of law from rule of any and all religions is necessary now more than ever. The christian nationalist movement exemplified by Mike Johnson is actually seditionist.
This article is an excellent historical overview of the founders’ views as they defined or nation’s constitution.
