Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.”
Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

The leaders of Progressive Judaism were just booed off stage at the 'March for the Hostages'. Why?
Because they spoke in support of the Israeli ceasefire movement, said that only a hostage & ceasefire deal would get the hostages home safely, & that Palestinians have the right to self determination.

Over 600 people turned up to yesterday’s Foreign Office protest led by Jews & Israelis from Mi-neged and
Na'amod to demand SANCTIONS NOW on Israel.
The UK government must do everything in its power to stop the destruction, deliberate starvation, and genocide of Gaza and its people.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
