They're just idiots complicit in the system. They'd rather have genocide if it comes wearing the right party colors.
They don't truly believe in protest or freedom of speech, but they themselves are also functionally worthless in this regard.
Their hand wringing can and should be ignored.
Biden is overseeing the slaughter of children in Gaza right now and these people are mad about books. If you are focused on some minor damage to books and not the point the protestor was making, you are the problem.
It's propaganda meant to string you along and give the sense that Biden is "doing something" or that there is some daylight between the parties on this thing.
Imagine walking down the aisle, normal day, no thoughts about the prices or any of that.
Then one day you walk down the aisle but this time you forgot your phone in the car.
Different prices. Then some one walks is coming close from the other end of the aisle. The price changes. They walk past, nonplussed. A few seconds later, it switches back.
Also, the first time the price of something rises in the 5 minutes it takes for me to get my shopping done and get to the checkout, I’m taking a shit on the floor.
I'm with you I'm saving my dump truck load for the conveyor belt at the register.

A research team has identified a new type of cat which has the typical adorable face and fur pattern of the black and white tuxedo cat, but with a difference: the fur on this feline's back starts off with a solid color at its base, such as black, and gradually turns white at the tip — all caused by a unique mutation....
The west has dragged its feet for almost two years, and continues to, in fully supporting Ukraine. Ukraine is a much smaller country than Russia, who know they can win a war of attrition.
All of Europe and the US should be mobilizing to support Ukraine and put Russia completely into their place, as they should have done immediately. So hard and fast it should have been, their heads would spin and forget who they are by the time they end up back in Moscow.
You best bet is to launch a glider at c4. I recommend:
Pattern type Spaceship
Number of cells 5
Bounding box 3 × 3
Frequency class 1.8
Direction Diagonal
Period 4
Mod 2
Speed c/4 | c/4
Heat 4
Historical note: An R-pentomino tracked past T = 69 in late 1969 certainly implies that the glider, and a number of other objects such as blocks and blinkers, were first seen by Conway's group before 1970.
From a policy perspective I think this is one of the only truly smart things the administration has done.
We're in an era of populism and people are voting with their checkbooks. You can cite any number of "good" things the administration has done, but if those things don't make a detectable, sensible, positive impact on peoples lives between now and November, they are basically irrelevant (the vast majority of bbb).
You can hate it, and you should, but the smartest thing Trump did electorally in his 4 years was to insist that his name be written on the checks mailed out to millions of Americans. For those that recall, we all know it was house progressives that made those checks appear; however, Trump was able to get people to identify them with him with his insistence that his signature be on them. He and his party were basically opponents to the checks happening, but still today, people associate those payments with Trump, not house progressives.
In the same manner, Biden needs to make sure that people are mentally associating his name, his presidency with things that are making a material difference in their lives. Getting rid of student loan debt is one way to do that.
Its wag the dog all the way down, and we can't afford to lose this election to christian nationalism. The Biden administration has been working against themselves in this regard with policies that are deeply unpopular with the Democratic base on foreign policy. They can probably make up some ground with student loan debt forgiveness. Its a policy that can directly improve the material conditions of peoples lives in a way that is immediate, detectable, and sensible.

Just want to thank everyone here, reading this, on the decentralized unbought future of the web. We all collectively made the content, be it posting, commenting, making the yt videos or writing the articles..
Big tech didn't make the world of the Internet or the data within, we did; all big tech did was steal it from us. They erected walls to exclude us from the gardens we built and planted.
Just by being here and participating, you are making the difference. Keep making content because if your passions and because you like to. Keep commenting, shit posting, debating, arguing, and being debaucherous. The future is ours, not theirs.

So like, yes its true that Hamas is an elected government. Its also true that they haven't had elections in 2 decades. Its also true that both Hamas and Fatah in agreement have tried several times to hold elections, and have either been foibled via the PLO (which by some is considered an influence puppet of Israel), or directly prevented by Israel.
MMm. I disagree. I think they love Hamas being viewed as an illegitimate government, and have been consistently concerned that Hamas will legitimately win any election when called. Hence their effectively trying to block Hamas from the ballot or preventing elections from happening. They want Hamas as an 'illegitimate partner', but not to be recognized as a 'legitimate partner'.
