Biden's frantic escalation before leaving office sounds like the death rattle of US hegemony.

More than 30,000 Ukrainian soldiers have deserted their post this year alone bc they know they are in a losing battle for US dominance.

It’s not liberation, it’s exploitation.

Israeli airstrikes have now killed 3,500 people in Lebanon. It was 3,000 barely two weeks ago. That's 500 killed during this recent period where reports of ceasefire talks making progress have made the rounds.

Going to be really hard to justify sending billions of dollars in military aid to one guy with ICC arrest warrants while we attempt to claim the moral high ground in helping to fight off the other guy with an ICC arrest warrant

I hope that the people who are usually not politically engaged but worked really hard to get Harris elected wake up soon and realize that they are not the only ones who are tired of a struggle that is full of defeat & in fact they could learn about surviving from the leftists they mark as enemies

The Biden administration continues to be the sole government besides Netanyahu's currently actively preventing a ceasefire in Gaza. Ppl can be in denial all they want, this is a fact.

The US is ruled by moral monsters and Trump isn't even in office yet.

Palestine didn’t cost the Democrats the election in the way you think—it exposed the hollowness of their promises. For many, it was the final proof that calls for change would go unanswered, revealing the deep rot of the American empire.

Israel destroyed 83% of plant life in Gaza by June this year.

It destroyed 70% of its agricultural land.

It damaged or destroyed 65% of water tanks and 47% of groundwater wells.

Israel has deliberately tried to make Gaza uninhabitable. This is genocide.
