Israel is more reliant on the US today than it was in 2022. A lot of people have seemingly concluded the exact opposite based on ?

just total refusal to admit the wealthiest empire in history has any agency over its colonies

That’s stupid thing to say. I was clearly mad from the start of this thread. I didn’t suddenly get mad when your dumb ass showed up.

Exactly one year ago today:

Dunno who needs to hear it but the Dust Bowl was very much a genocide perpetrated by Hoover on behalf of the American version of the American Empire against the First Nations. Half the replies seem to think it didn't happen.

Graph from the CBPP showing share of national wealth since 1989 split into percentile groups 0-50, 50-90, 90-99, and >99. the lines for 0-50 and 90-99 are stable with <5% share and 35%+ share respectively. Share for the 50-90th percentile has declined ~8pp with all gains accruing to the 1%

i also enjoy the graph farther down in the report showing percentiles 0-50 with effectively no share of national wealth and 50-90 in monotonic decline to the benefit of the 1%

so weird they're memory holing the report in its entirety, economists are famously non-ideological

It's tempting to tell the people crusading against Gazan panhandlers to go outside and touch grass but then they'll see a real life panhandler and try to get all the benches removed from the park

'but we command the hierarchy of unequal exchange' is not a refutation of the argument that the share of the economy controlled by the working class has decreased over time relative to the share controlled by the ruling class

hard to take vibecession discourse seriously when libs don't even understand the arguments they are making

IT IS TIME FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL BOATERS TO OPEN THE STRAIT! IT WILL BE VERY EASY!

big domino: wwiii

at a certain point “markets rebound because hoover has assembled the titans of capital and demanded they stop ruining the economy” stops being different from “markets rebound because trump calls off genocide” and in both cases eventually stubborn reality intervenes and the kayfabe no longer works

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.

You are being lied to

That doesn’t sound like them.

"israel will abide a temporary ceasefire" youtu.be/sJNK4VKeoBM?...

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

Wait for what Iran has to say. They've been saying no temporary ceasefire this entire time because they don't want to get caught in a situation where Israel keeps bombing them and they can't shoot back.

As a Democrat I support our brave men and women blowing up dozens or hundreds of people at a time, piece by piece, until it adds up to thousands, but not thousands or tens of thousands all at once. That's not who we are as a nation.

Ed's office pretty much told me he will not be going to DC. Which is the same thing @warren.senate.gov's office said. @whipkclark.bsky.social's office said the same thing, but incredibly rudely.

The MA delegation will only be posting. #mapoli

The President of the USA declaring that "a whole civilisation will die tonight" is not something that arrives out of a vacuum. It is precipitated by the widespread international failure to hold USA, Israel, and their allies including the UK, accountable for their actions for many decades

What was normalized in Gaza will have lasting effects on the entire world. It was a signal to the worst of humanity that they can get away with even livestreamed genocide. And we see that very genocide expanding today, and Trump joining in not under cover like Biden, but front & center.
