Yeah, I always cite this exact letter to prove this point.

You can’t compare the two.
You can and I do, because Netanjahu and Likud have intentionally supported Hamas and weakened their opponents for decades.
The Times of Israel: For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces
Yeah. It’s almost as if Netanjahu and his Likud party are just as cruel as Hamas. A leftist Israeli government would’ve led a completely different operation, one that’s not targeting civilians and instead focusses on actually solving the problem at hand.
But right wing extremists don’t care about human suffering, they actually endorse it. The cruelty is the point.
ReVanced doesn’t really require frequent updates. After modifying the YouTube app, I disable auto updates and keep using it until something doesn’t work properly (usually ads reappear)- Happens maybe every 4-5 months for me.
For example, the YouTube version I’m using right now is 18.23.35 from June 10th, while the newest version that can be patched with ReVanced is 18.35.44. But since I haven’t seen any issues, I didn’t even bother to check for updates. Only your comment made me check and realize that I can update it.
Well the Hamas attack was basically Netanjahu’s Reichstag fire. There were huge protests against his judicial, unconstitutional power grab, and now there arent. Now, his power is unchallenged and he even has additional wartime powers.
ReVanced can patch your YouTube client (even without root) and add (your choice of) features, for example adblocking, picture in picture, playing in background as well ad quality of life improvents like hiding the “block” of news videos, remove reels or certain buttons
It’s worse. The rich want civilization to break, so they can become the new aristocracy - ruling their own countries, having their own armies.
Sadly, this has so many important implications and consequences that it’s imperative to report ASAP if funding has been secured for a bit longer or not. It cannot be ignores :/
Out of all the 23 times the US minimum wage was ever raised, 21 times it was by Democrats - and the other two times, it was because democrats fought for months unt republicans conceeded.
There’s one party that fucks the poor as their literal program, and another one that sometimes does things which look bad as headlines, but which require a much deeper look into their reasons.
Don’t equate them because they aren’t equal.
Edit: Yeah, as suspected: The initial ruling in Idaho may be pretty good for protecting homeless people’s rights, but it’s also really broader than it has any reason to be. Even if you sympathize with the homeless and want to help them (and I’m convinced News on actually does), it creates problems for you.

Well if you people hadn’t given Republicans so much power for the last decades, you wouldn’t be in this mess.
It not dems fault, but the voters.
vacate her seat
Yeah, Republicans’ wish finally came true. Wanna know why there was such an online campaign push for her retirement?
Because she was the tie-breaking vote in the Senate judiciary committee, and Mitch McConnell had already blocked her replacement.
If she had retired, all of Joe Biden’s executive or judicial nominations, would’ve been dead in the water.
Well, she kept going until today, and now, watch the shit show happening. Republicans are celebrating.
No, she shouldn’t have. Wanna know why there was such an online campaign push for her retirement?
Because she was the tie-breaking vote in the Senate judiciary committee, and Mitch McConnell blocked her replacement.
If she had retired, all of Joe Biden’s executive or judicial nominations, would’ve been dead in the water.
You should be glad she kept going to confirm as many of his picks as long as she could, because now problems are on the way.
I wrote a reply with a little bit of context and explanation to that “filibuster proof majority”. The reality is: After passing the ACA, there was no chance in hell Dems could have gone further.
The Dems had control of the House and a filibuster-proof Senate under Obama
Theoretically. For 72 days.
However, the Senate supermajority only lasted for a period of 72 working days while the Senate was actually in session.
But let’s take a closer look at that statement, shall we? Because in my opinion, it’s a blatant lie:
https://eu.beaconjournal.com/story/news/2012/09/09/when-obama-had-total-control/985146007/
On January 20th, 2009, 57 Senate seats were held by Democrats with 2 Independents (Bernie Sanders and Joe Lieberman) caucusing with the Democrats…which gave Democrats 59 mostly-reliable Democratic votes in the Senate, one shy of filibuster-proof “total control.” Republicans held 41 seats.
So far so good. Well, not filibuster proof.
The 59 number in January, 2009 included Ted Kennedy and Al Franken. Kennedy had a seizure during an Obama inaugural luncheon and never returned to vote in the Senate…and Al Franken was not officially seated until July 7th, 2009 (hotly contested recount demanded by Norm Coleman.)
Oh what’s this? The actual number was really 55 Dems + 2 independents!
Then in April, 2009, Republican Senator Arlen Specter became a Democrat. Kennedy was still at home, dying, and Al Franken was still not seated. Score in April, 2009…Democratic votes 58.
In May, 2009, Robert Byrd got sick and did not return to the Senate until July 21, 2009. Even though Franken was finally seated July 7, 2009 and Byrd returned on July 21…Democrats still only had 59 votes in the Senate because Kennedy never returned, dying on August 25, 2009.
Nope, still not filibuster proof.
Kennedy’s empty seat was temporarily filled by Paul Kirk but not until September 24, 2009.
The swearing in of Kirk finally gave Democrats 60 votes (at least potentially) in the Senate. “Total control” of Congress by Democrats lasted all of 4 months. From September 24, 2009 through February 4, 2010…at which point Scott Brown, a Republican, was sworn in to replace Kennedy’s Massachusetts seat.
There’s that filibuster proof majority of 58 Dems + 2 independents.
And when was the ACA passed in the Senate? Exactly in that period, on 24th of December 2009.
The House agreed on it on March 21st 2010, and by then, there was no filibuster proof majority anymore to go further than the ACA.
Oh, and after 2011, Dems never gained house and Senate majority together for a decade. That’s one reason why the US is so fucked, by the way.
Hi, my name is ProcurementCat and I call out people who pretend to be very leftist but actually only make leftist politicians look bad.
Edit: Oh, and there was one major amendment to the ACA, by the way: When Republicans used it for tax cuts under Trump.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Cuts_and_Jobs_Act
It took a filibuster proof majority to pass the ACA, it took 51 votes to turn it into a 2.3 trillion tax gift for the rich. Don’t really hear you complain about that.
The program has a “near zero” probability of meeting the existing launch readiness dates and would cost $8-9.6 billion
That sounds laughingly cheap to me - that’s the price for the James Webb Space Telescope. It isn’t “cheap” compared to science budgets, but compared to the US’ society budget, it’s nothing.
Also Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos could pay for about 40 of those missions, but instead they’re just sitting on and hoarding that money.
Reminder that Elon Musk bought Twitter, just to ruin it, for the price of 4 of those Missions.
Also, the Russians will feed information that hurts the us as a whole and Democrats specifically, but will spare trump
Not on this scale, not with such hostile governments, not with such sensitive information, not in this kind of secrecy and not in such an unprofessional manner.
Probably also because several high ranking security officials were and are still loyal to Trump and are trying to keep much of this stuff under wraps
But in his case, there was proof that and what information he shared, right? Because right now, I don’t think there’s (public) information on what Trump’s government gave the russians
When the police shoots hostages, I blame the police just as much as the terrorist. That’s why I blame Netanjahu and Likud just as much as Hamas.
