And of course the democrats caved for no reason. I predicted this months ago and the only reason for it is that the democrats are just controlled opposition. Anyone doubting that isn't paying attention... or they're getting paid.
Personally I don't think the Republicans are particularly afraid of a shutdown and my bet is the Democrats cave in for no good reason and give them the votes eventually. Bipartisanship for bipartisanships's sake is their favorite shit.
Make no mistake, if there's a government shutdown. Trump, Elon, and the Republican Party owns it all.

Good. War criminals do not deserve freedom of movement... even if they do those crimes at the behest of American empire.
New Zealand is asking Israeli visa applicants to disclose their military service, and at least one was denied entry after doing so, according to The Times of Israel.

Applicants must say if they served in the IDF and if they’re active reservists, then complete detailed questionnaires.

This is what happens when you let those in power act without consequence.

Just had the pleasure of watching Union. An excellent documentary about the organization of the Amazon Labor Union. I highly recommend it! You should know that Amazon wants to stop its distribution and that's why it's not available on the big streaming services or in theatres.

Boeing is the epitome of US capitalism. All they're interested in are sales and money by selling faulty products, mostly due to malpractices. They closed their eyes on those for years and people are dying because of it but that's the last of their concern! Nothing but greed!

Anyone who's argument against the strike is effectively "but Chistmas 😭" either doesn't understand the purpose of a strike or is an enemy of the working class.

This is disgusting. This woman was absolutely not a copycat. She was simply yelling a prediction of what would happen if insurance companies keep screwing over people. Now she's being charged like a terrorist? We can't let these monstrous corporations do this.

Re CEO shooting, think about the disconnect between the opinions of normal people and both right-wing and supposed left wing media. Why do you think it is it that normal Americans see the ceo as a villain but all mainstream media are so uniformly aligned in presenting him as an unequivocal victim?
