All of tRump's FASCISM is not working for anyone! Raiding California's agricultural facilites might feel good to the Orange SHiTstain but all it does is raise prices even for the Brain-Dead MAGA faithful.

Notice this is ALL in California not in Texas which has an even bigger population of migrants. Texas doesn't use U-verify for its hiring of farm workers. But tRump will never go after a Red State Governor

Socialism must work for someone as if not it would not be a thing.

I'm surprised with you. May I assume you're joking? If not, could we not say that Despotism must work for someone as if not it wouldn't be a thing?

Vladimir has taught his American protege Donnie well about how to snatch up people and make them "Disappear". Unfortunately my Republican party has NO values to speak of these days.

Is Social Security in the United States "socialism" in your mind? Many right wingers do.

How ICE is becoming a secret police force under the Trump administration

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement meets most criteria that have defined secret police forces in authoritarian regimes. And the worst may be yet to come.

I think I mentioned that one of my boys lived in St. Petersburg (Russia) and studied at University there (also attended buy Putin). He learned so very much there. Some of it was not good. He came home with the ability to consume mass quantities of Vodka. "They just drown their sorrows in more Vodka!" My son would wholeheartedly agree with you !!

Holy cow !! Calling it despicable doesn't do it justice. Who do you think is going to bear the costs of rebuilding? I'm guessing it would have ro be a multinational effort.

Mandy Patinkin has a message for Jewish Americans.

I only found out like a month ago that Golda Meir was a Milwaukee, Wisconsin school teacher.

What you should know about Golda Meir, the world leader who grew up in Milwaukee

Before she became the Middle East's first female head of state, Golda Meir made her mark as a 10-year-old crusader in Milwaukee.

www.jsonline.com

This is insane, because my whole life I remember seeing this quote from her:

We Jews have a secret weapon in our struggle with the Arabs; we have no place to go.

Look, Wisconsin winters suck. I get it. But there were no pogroms in Milwaukee.

Who do you think is going to bear the costs of rebuilding?

The United States of America. Biden could've stopped the destruction at any time with a single phone call. America provided over 70% of the bombs. It's our fault.

I'm surprised there are any Hamas dudes remaining. No great loss. At one time Hamas provided aid to the Gazans. Once they obtained some support from the population they then showed their true colors. Hamas hasn't done the citizens one bit of good ever since. Time for Israel to get out. Time for Hamas to get out. Time for peace.

 

[florduh]

Hamas is an army of orphan soldiers. Orphans from previous barbaric Israeli bombing campaigns.

Hamas hasn't done the citizens one bit of good ever since.

Neither has the Likud Party or the IDF or October 7th would've never happened.

2023 is ’deadliest year’ for a child in occupied West Bank

Since 2000, Israeli forces have killed at least 2,287 Palestinian children, according to the Defence of Children International.

2023 becomes deadliest year for Palestinians in the West Bank as Israeli military launches fresh attack on Jenin - Latest News & Developments - Medical Aid for Palestinians

The Israeli military has launched another attack on Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank, killing eight Palestinians and injuring 50 more.

www.map.org.uk

October 7th was inevitable blowback for IDF barbarity in the West Bank, where there is no HAMAS, by the way. There goes the dipshit talking point that Israel will cease their barbarity if HAMAS surrenders, huh?

I shudder to think what the inevitable blowback is going to look like for 20+ months of livestreamed genocide. So fucking stupid. If brutalizing Palestinians made Israelis safe, October 7th would've never happened.

I disagree. We don't know if they are orphans. Doesn't matter

Neither has the Likud Party or the IDF or October 7th would've never happened.

Have you any idea how long Israel has attacked by its neighbors? Since 1948 take a guess as to how many bombs, missles and suicide bombers have attacked Israel. If you think 500 is a lot then how do feel about more than 20,000. I think this number is accurate. Feel free to research and correct if necessary. No country would allow this to happen to their state and not retaliate to protect their citizens.

Actually the National Counterterrorism Group says that Hamas is in fact in the West Bank. I can't imagine how many are still there. I haven't been there and I'll assume that goes for you also. So how do we get to the truth?

I shudder to think what the inevitable blowback is going to look like for 20+ months of livestreamed genocide. So fucking stupid. If brutalizing Palestinians made Israelis safe, October 7th would've never happened.

You realize that there hasn't been a Israeli in Gaza since 2005. At that time the Gazans rejected a 2 state solution. What a shame. As to the brutalizing of the Palestinians it would be hard for me to disagree.

I actually think the aggression would cease if Hamas went bye bye. Look at it the other way. If Israel dropped its weapons there would be a complete genocide. Hamas's charter calls for it. It's no secret. You've heard the chant "From the River to the Sea". The folks have to accept that Israel isn't going anywhere. Israel will not be pushed into the sea. It's been tried many times and failed each time. Accept it and have peace. Same with Israel. They should respect the rights of the Gazans to exist and flourish. It`s strange but it seems so simple to achieve peace.

I'll say it again. With respect to Gaza, Israel need to get out. Hamas needs to get out. Peace needs to come in.

New study shows tortoises experience feelings similar to our own

Animal behavior and cognition experts at the University of Lincoln, U.K., have made new discoveries about reptile sentience which could reshape how they are cared for in captivity.

I’m worried we’re gonna find out that most animals are just as conscious as you and me. They just don’t know as much. Which raises tricky ethical questions because there’re a lot of humans that don’t know shit about shit!

I've seen marine turtles mating. It happens in and mostly under the water. I didn't hear anything.
