If you agree with Hamas, just a few links:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Hamas

And I could go on. There are no "good guys" in this conflict. Only human victims. What the Israeli government is doing is terrible and indefensible. I'll never pass your impossible purity test, so I'm not even going to try.

Hamas, the government of Palestine, is the enemy. The Palestinian people are humans and humans need help. The US has long standing treaties with Israel and we have to honor those. Not doing so would put a lot more people at risk and could lead to chaos around the world. The president is working through diplomatic channels to reign in Israel's response. In the meantime the US can send out humanitarian aid to those that need it.

Yeah... I'm only surprised that they shifted tactics so quickly. Fear, Unrest, and Doubt are the key tactics in Russian Disinfo campaigns. There's an old axiom: If someone is trying to make you feel strongly about something, then they are trying to sell you something. In this case, OP Is trying to piss people off in order to convince them of propaganda and Russian talking points.

21 day old account. Most posts are about not voting in the election to support Palestine. While what's happening in Gaza is genocide, this account smells like a Russian shill trying to spread FUD in the form of memes. The key part of diplomacy is not running around telling everyone what's being discussed in private. We shouldn't hear about potential deals until they are decided on. If Trump wins, he'll do the same thing Israel is currently doing to eliminate Hamas - which is to go through the Palestinian people.

It's a heritage of hate.

Yep. She's not an alternative to Trump. She's just a Trump clone with better make-up and more stylish heels. Same for Ron Desantis. I don't think Ramaswamy wore heels, otherwise the same could be said about him.

I'm of the belief that separating out rights into different groups allows societies or governments a way to weasel out of protecting certain groups because it's not socially or politically advantageous. Reading through the information on positive or negative rights, it seems that's a pretty common concern. Also looks as if that's the entire point since it stems from legal philosophy. Bodily autonomy of the mother is an absolute right. Abortion is an absolute right. Only a woman and her doctor should be involved in medical decisions.

The biggest issue with the EPA setting limits is finding labs that can measure to those levels with any sort of accuracy or precision. In the article they mention California's limits are 5 parts per trillion. That's 10^-12 or 0.000000000005. It's really hard to find equipment that can measure that low with out some dilution factors. This makes it hard to set standards. If you can't measure it, you can't regulate it.

This is yet another example of terroristic threats against federal officials. The FBI really should get on that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threatening_government_officials_of_the_United_States

Did a little digging to confirm, there are only 12 Democratic Texas State Senators. So, while article title is correct, it is misleading. Should read "Paxton Impeachment Vote mostly follows party lines". https://www.texastribune.org/2023/09/16/ken-paxton-impeachment-vote/

“Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”

The Alt-Right fetishizes LGBTQ+ lifestyles and can not fathom that it's not something that the average person does... Also, every accusation is projection and a confession at this point.

Now, I'm not saying that Trump is the leader of far-right, fascist, racist white supremacists looking to overthrow the government. What I am saying is that far-right, fascist, racist white supremacists looking to overthrow the government think Trump is their leader.
