Oh so like Palestinians in Gaza? Those people who cannot vote or participate or even live Jonathan!!!

Exactly. The civil rights movement did not set its goal as expanding liberal enfranchisement, the goal was justice. With attaining rights they should've been given by the first civil rights act 70 years prior. It was catch-up, not the goal

They are ok with people doing Selma, in the sense of getting brutalized by police, but within their myth in which people at Selma never fought back.

The FDR framing and talk of the climate for organizing are part of the co-opting of labor I feel. In the sense that like Aaron said, more of that organizing was happening under Trump. If we look back at the height of American labor it was when Pinkertons actively shot at strikers. I am not saying we should get that back, but I feel that people like this labor notes writer are framing the vibes of the FDR era and pasting over the reality that those advancements existed to weaken the movement through concessions. Even if the New Deal remained it would still be only a minor advancement in some regards and a regression in others. The fact that we are told that the president affects labor organizing is a problem, the strength of the unions shouldn't be tied to how appeasing elected officials are or not. Only labors own hand may break those chains

All of their talk about Bibi makes me feel that they are doubling down. They will remove him and loose that lackey just so that Israel can follow through on exterminating Palestinians. Him getting sold out is such a blatant attempt to distance themselves and Israel from the things even they must pretend are inexcusable. It is not just cynical, it will literally save NO ONE. it is not a sea change even in rhetoric, it is shielding Israel from any blame

Flat out implying that the lives of Palestinians are not pivotal. Shit like this is why I cannot abide even just telling people to vote for whoever. The mindset that this act holds any value is such an easy way to facilitate genocidal rhetoric. it is not just politically useless, it makes you party to this evil, it draws you into this sick calculus.

proud to have not voted for this oafish fuck

TRUMP IS NOT IN OFFICE, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

Even Hitler's photos of his dogs are being replied to with photos of the corpses littering the streets of Stalingrad
