I look forward to the day when we don't have two geriatrics fighting over who is the most senile.

Why is Biden always infantilized by his apologists? As if he was completely impotent. He is the president of the United States. In our system, that gives him extraordinary power. He can go to all out war with any country on Earth for 60 days before getting any kind of permission from Congress. If the presidency is such a weak office, why are you so worked up about the prospect of Trump being president? Apparently he'll need permission from Congress before he adjusts his tie.

Biden does not need an act of congress to not treat asylum-seekers like shit. That is a deliberate choice of his administration. Just like it was a deliberate choice to split up arms shipments to Israel into 100 seperate lots so he didn't have to report them to Congress.

Show me the statute stating that asylum seekers need to be kept in open air detention with inadequate food, water, and hygiene.

It's so easy to forget that the colonial empires of France, UK, US, etc. live on to this day. In The Wretched of the Earth, psychiatrist Frantz Fanon recounts treating a French policeman in Algeria during the Algerian fight for independence from French colonial rule circa 1962:

"Sometimes," he went on to explain, "you feel like telling them that if they had any consideration for us, they'd cough up and not force us to spend hours on end squeezing the information out of them word by word. But you might as well talk to the wall. Every question gets the answer: 'I don't know.' Even when we ask for their names. If we ask them where they live, they answer, 'I don't know.' So of course we had to give them the works. But they scream too much. At first it made me laugh. But then it began to unnerve me. Today I can tell just which stage the interrogation has reached by the sound of the screams. The guy who has been punched twice and given a blow behind the ear has a certain way of talking, screaming, and saying that he is innocent. After he has been hanging by his wrists for two hours, his voice changes. After the bathtub, a different voice. And so on. But it's after the electricity that it becomes unbearable. You'd think he was going to die at any moment. Of course there are those who don't scream: those are the hardliners. But they imagine we are going to kill them immediately. But we're not interested in killing them. What we want is information. We first try and get them to scream, and sooner or later they give in. That's already a victory. Then we continue. Mind you, we'd prefer not to. But they don't make things easy for us. Now I can hear those screams even at home. Especially the screams of the ones who died at the police headquarters.

Fanon also says that rape by French cops and soldiers was commonplace during the Algerian War of independence. This was in 1962, not the 1800's! France also continues to exploit many of the African countries that were once colonial subjects through currency manipulation and other mechanisms.

Samir said most college-educated Afghans he knows, and those who worked in the country’s former government, don’t like Joe Biden because of how he handled the withdrawal of US troops in 2021. “They left us and our lives in danger,” he said.

Several McGill University students have spent more than three weeks demanding it divest $20m from various companies

 

The policy doesn’t mention a specific issue, but many faculty see it as an attempt to limit what they can say about Israel’s war in Gaza. The consideration of the policy, which has been in the works for months, comes after UC’s Ethnic Studies Faculty Council and several faculty departments have criticized Israel over the war. In addition, when the policy was first discussed at January’s regents meeting, regent Hadi Makarechian said the board was considering the policy because “some people were making political statements related to Hamas and Palestinians.”

 

The Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) found that 15 percent of the components of every F-35 that Israel uses in its war on Gaza is made by firms within the British arms industry, which is estimated to have brought in at least £336 million since 2016.

 

Jones has been a member of the party for 24 years, but in an open letter published in The Guardian, the columnist announced he would be leaving, underlining party leader Keir Starmer's pro-Israel stance.

"We all have political red lines: mine is supporting what would amount to war crimes against innocent civilians, toddlers and newborn babies among them, then gaslighting the public over doing so," Jones wrote, referring to Starmer declaring that Israel' had a "right" to cut off energy and water to Palestinian civilians.

 

[H]e did nothing suspicious in particular and they became suspicious simply from the fact that he got off the bus in a location near where Jews lived and where Palestinians did not typically get off.

They then reportedly checked his belongings and found a kitchen knife in his bag, after which they shot him....[T]here were no indications that he attempted to attack them or that he was even holding the knife since they had seized the knife and his bag.

 

Israel is executing an online influence campaign using hundreds of fake social media accounts to advance "Israeli interests" among progressive western audiences, including US lawmakers, Haaretz reported on 19 March, citing an investigation by Israeli media watchdog group Fake Reporter.

 

In a written response published Monday by the International Court of Justice, Israel said that claims by South Africa in its request filed earlier this month are “wholly unfounded in fact and law, morally repugnant, and represent an abuse both of the Genocide Convention and of the Court itself.”
