when i say that American Media is owned by fascists, am not exaggerating.
As Aunty Toni Morrison said, fascism is marketing for power (systemic violence, not life affirming power). somebody has to be broadcaster of said power.
i said 10 years ago in a conference, the internet and broadcasting media as we knew it then was not going to exist in another 10-20 years.
am being proven right.

What about Paul Pelosi?
That came prety close to killing someone after Trump incitements.
If he had been killed would there have been consequences for Trump and consorts?

As has once again been made clear, Jewish lives don't matter to most & antisemitism is real — even if many non-Jews pretend otherwise.
Those truths justify a desire for self-defense.
But they don't justify Israel's mass retribution against Palestinians. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/17/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-sharon-brous.html

Congress wants to approve additional aid to Ukraine in an aid package before Christmas.
The package will include aid to Israel, Ukraine and changes to the immigration system.
If both parties are unable to agree on this before the New Year, the chance of getting all four parts of the plan decrease significantly.

Yaserji arrived in Turkey as a refugee himself twelve years ago, after his home in Aleppo was destroyed. Yet, twelve years into the war, he opened up the orphanage just in the last year – almost as an act of defiance.
“It is the Russians, and Putin, that are in complete control,” he said. “They can stop at any point bombing schools and hospitals and kids. They can stop at any point creating more orphans and they decide not to.”

Apologies to cis het white men. I realize that sometimes I use that term in a negative way. It’s not always a bad thing. AFAIK, my husband is a cis het white man, although his sexuality may be fluid. I find that those who state hatred the most often on here to be cis het white men abusing their privilege.
@AlliFlowers @edgeoforever He and Freddie are a special kind of evil. When Payback dropped in 1999 Bronson was modeled off of Freddie Trump and Johnny was modeled off of Donald. Pays a nod to Donald E. Westlake’s material and source “The Hunter” with call outs to “Point Blank” with Lee Marvin. Considering that Westlake actually knew them and long after his analyst days yup, he had them pegged, and Donald is a fascist pig.
