🌍 As a French citizen, I'm feeling incredibly anxious about the results of the American election. My heart goes out to all the women and marginalized communities, as well as those struggling financially, whose rights and well-being are at stake.The empathy I feel for these groups is overwhelming. 🙏

I truly hope for a positive outcome, and I'm rooting for Kamala Harris and the values of equality and justice she represents. 🇺🇸✨

American defense official confirms US sending several destroyers, along with new fighter aircraft, B-52 strategic bombers & refueling tankers to the Middle East, in the coming days.

There are a lot of news about them, but most major news seems to be ignoring it.

It's very possible that Israel attacks tomorrow during US election, because most people won't care about international news when they are focused on the domestic circus.

The "Liberal" Swedish Dagens Nyheter Editor: #Trump is a president for #US, #Harris is going to be the president of the whole world!

I am truly going to vomit.

The propaganda and extent of BS on Swedish media covering the US election have reached a new level of disgusting low. Swedes have always had inferiority complex towards Americans, but ever since the election of Obama, it has turned into a ridiculous not-so-funny embarrassing level.

Columbia paid $395,000 in settlement after suspending Jewish student for using ‘skunk spray’

Back in January, two Israeli students sprayed pro-Palestine protesters at Columbia University with an unknown substance that later turned out to be "skunk spray" (used often by IDF against Palestinian farmers and villages in occupied west bank). They were suspended for 18 months.

Now it comes out that Columbia has paid one of those students $395,000 for being “excessively and disproportionately disciplined.”

Surely it's just a matter of time before all those egregiously suspended and expelled pro-Palestine students get their checks too, right?

An image shared thousands of times across Facebook and Twitter has screen grabs of two Associated Press (AP) news agency headlines, one from 2016, when Ms Harris became the first US senator of Indian heritage, and a recent headline after she was named as America's first black female presidential running mate.

It suggests the media only started to describe Ms Harris as a black woman after she was appointed Joe Biden's running mate - or that Ms Harris had only identified herself by her Indian roots until now.

As we've shown already, this is not correct.

And AP's coverage of Ms Harris's entry into the Senate in 2016 referred to her both as Indian American and a black woman.

It's bad enough that wildfires are driving up the price of lumber and the droughts have already driven up the price of food, but hey--what's another wildfire burning up most of our wheat, corn & other grain production too.

Eisenhower Republicans aren't having it and I'll wager neither is Abe Lincoln's ghost.

Your dad's Republican party is dead. Trump and his cronies are dragging its corpse along the campaign trail in hopes the American people won't know the difference, but we do. These aren't real Republicans, they are #fascist thugs. Vote for sanity.

Bill Clinton defends mass murder of civilians in #Gaza #genocide

Speaking in Michigan on Monday, former President Bill Clinton justified the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza, openly advocating the targeting of civilians and collective punishment against non-combatants, both of which are war crimes.
“Arab Americans in Michigan think too many people have died,” Clinton said. “People who criticize it are essentially saying ... look how many people you’ve killed in retaliation. So how many is enough for you to kill to punish them for the terrible things they did?”

To this, Clinton replied, “What would you do if ... one day they come for you and slaughtered the people in your village, you would say ... I’m not keeping score that way. ... It isn’t how many we’ve had to kill.”

Clinton’s justification for the Israeli genocide flagrantly violates both criminal and international law, neither of which allows “revenge” as the justification for the murder of unarmed people.

The law of “revenge” was, in fact, the policy pursued by Nazi Germany during World War II in response to acts of resistance against their brutal occupation of Europe. After the assassination of leading Nazi Reinhard Heydrich, the Nazis indiscriminately massacred civilians in the Czech village of Lidice. Following a bomb attack on German auxiliary police units in Rome in March 1944, the Nazi occupiers ordered a ratio of 10 civilian deaths for every policeman killed. In what became known as the Ardeatine Caves massacre, they shot 335 Italian civilians in the head, none of whom had any connection with the attack.

  • This is actually not true, the law of revenge, was a common practice by colonialists in the past 500 years all over the world. Their atrocities are not being highlighted or remembered because of the selective historical amnesia or simply ignorance of the people writing these articles. /Farhad

No both-sides shit. We already know Trump doesn't love all Americans because he's called them "the enemy within". Snap out of it.

The sensible question at the heart of Trump’s ‘garbage’ silliness.“You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans”? If that's the case, perhaps Donald Trump should end his 2024 candidacy?
