Racism fuels another Republican win.

This is how much you have to gerrymander in order to elect a creepy moron jackass traitor like Gym Jordan.

@CajunBlueAZ1 @Render Part of that has to do with an "alliance of convenience" between elements of the far-right and Muslim extremists...

They've realized they share many of the same goals: subversion of democracy, rollback of human rights (especially women's rights), antisemitism / genocide against Jews, breaking down the separation of church and state, etc...

And they've realized they can use disingenuous "islamophobia" / "Western-caused injustice" narratives to sow disarray among the left.

"With a war in Europe and a war in the Middle East and government funding running out on November 17, not to mention all the other work that falls to Congress, the House did not hold a single floor vote this week.

Essentially, the Republican extremists have paralyzed the government in the midst of an unusually dangerous time."-Heather Cox Richardson

The donor and lobbyist class have severely corrupted our politicians.

We need them to vote out in the open so constituents can ensure each representative is adhering to the wishes of their constituents and no one else.

Their voice is our voice and they should not get to make back room deals at the American people’s expense. #politics

Hezbollah

Hezbollah officials have said, on rare occasions, that it is only "anti-Zionist" and not anti-Semitic. However, according to scholars, "these words do not hold up upon closer examination". Among other actions, Hezbollah actively engages in Holocaust denial and spreads anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

Amnesty Int posted an image of IDF artillery stacking up ammo at a 155mm gun position. Most of the ammo was standard HE but about 1/3rd of the ammo was clearly marked as D528, which is indeed a white phosphorus based smoke round.

IDF, US Army, and Ukraine use 2 types of WP round.

D528 is an air burst smoke screen round with very little offensive capability.

M110 is an ground burst offensive round (not seen in the IDF position).
