The arrest of Sarah Wilkinson was beyond draconian and fascist.the cops went out of their way to destroy her house and property.

If someone could embed them. The 1st is a much watch.

The western support for Zionism is leading the world into a dysfunctional and dystopian nightmare just so Israel can continue its genocide and ethnic cleansing
of Palestine.

A leftist is someone with morally correct politics. A liberal is someone who wants to feel morally correct w/o ever putting themselves at odds with power or costing themselves opportunities or experiencing the uncomfortable emotions that truth causes.

I agree with Sarah that some of the cops were Mossad I thought that before she said it. I’m sure the crackdowns everywhere are on Israel’s orders. Look at how quickly they got congress to act against students.

i watched the first video. so, it appears that the uk has gone down the tubes and reverted to the sort of behaviors that caused our founding generation to rebel and separate from the crown.

i wouldn't care to speculate at this point how long our first amendment will hold up. after all, "it's just a damned piece of paper."

What’s old has become new again. I’ve been watching Sleepy Hollow that has a lot of scenes of the founders putting the construction together and I can’t believe how our government has turned its back on it.

A Berkeley dean suggests that the construction is outdated and needs to be torn up.
It’s not outdated yet fool, it’s being ignored.
Too many shitlibs don’t value our rights. How did we get here?

@snoopydawg

well, the constitution isn't perfect and i've often thought that given a month and some peace and quiet, i could do better, but the great ideas that underlie and inform the constitution would remain when i was done.

Too many shitlibs don’t value our rights. How did we get here?

other people having rights sometimes get in the way of shitlibs desires. not that it makes them much different from neocons whose disrespect for the rights of others is immense.

No protest for you in democratic Israel.
Ahh well. Israel sold skunk water to our cops so it’s the goose/gander thing.

So Israel found 4 dead hostages and Biden is livid about the media has gone berserk, but nary a word about the 47 Palestinians that Israel killed yesterday.

How much longer do we have to wait till the one for Netanyahu? It’s been more than 3 months since Kahn said he was seeking one.

And how many countries have said that they won’t arrest Netanyahu if one is drafted? The geese and gander sure are busy lately.

keeps changing the ceasefire deal that Biden says everyone is close to signing.
https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/netanyahu-sabotage-ceasefire-hamas?utm_so...

Today Israel added much more conditions to it including parking its buttocks in Gaza for years and overseeing humanitarian aid and the reconstruction acting like it’s not responsible for the destruction and withholding aid. They will move the injured outside Palestine….what are they chances they won’t be allowed back in?

I’ll find the link cuz it’s a doozy. Oh yeah everyone agrees except Hamas. Doh!

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A Venezuelan judge on Monday issued an arrest warrant for the opposition’s former presidential candidate Edmundo González as part of a criminal investigation into the results of the highly anticipated July election that both the ruling party and its opponents claim to have won.

The warrant was issued at the request of authorities who accuse González, a former diplomat, of various crimes including conspiracy, falsifying documents and usurpation of powers. The move is the latest escalation of repression against the opposition in the month after election officials declared President Nicolás Maduro had won a third six-year term in office.

Authorities sought the warrant after González failed to appear three times to answer questions from prosecutors. González, 75, has not made any public appearances since the day after the election. His campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.

Prosecutors have zeroed in on thousands of tally sheets known as actas — printouts measuring several feet that resemble shopping receipts — that have long been considered the ultimate proof of election results in Venezuela. Each of the 30,000 electronic voting machines used in the July 28 election printed several copies of the sheets, whose information was also transmitted to the National Electoral Council.

Ruling party-loyal electoral authorities declared Maduro the victor hours after polls closed, but they did not publish results broken down by voting machine as they had done in previous presidential elections. The National Electoral Council claimed it could not release the detailed information because its website was hacked
