However, I am not a liberal, and she is, and there is NO coming back from that.

Well yes, inviting Hillary & Chelsea Clinton into your home (that you bought with your 'breadtube' money) to film an episode of Hillary's TV series is basically the final stage of neoliberalism

She has sucked for at least 5 years, arguably more - 'breadtube' (literally all of the channels that got popular off that suck, but contrapoints especially) and its consequences. she has been muted for quite a while for me but the other day when she added a bunch of flags to her display name "as a joke!!" she got the unfollow and I don't even really use twitter like that anymore but just got so annoyed lmao

Twitter won’t let me get rid of the flags because they have to reverify me everytime I change my name. It was just a joke about being a Twitter lib I didn’t know WW3 was about to happen I’m sorry 😭😭😭

Less than 48 hours later:

This is why they shouldn’t really be called “tankies” imo. “Tankie” originally referred to an apologist for Soviet aggression. These people are campists—they view the US/Western powers as uniquely evil and support any opposition power, even if a far-right oligarchy.

GIRL YOU ARE A TWITTER LIB AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. Your lasting mark on online culture in general is that annoying ass "smuglord they don't want power they want to critique it" image and the overuse of bisexual lighting & meaningless costume changes in what are supposed to be video essays!!!

You make $50k/month on Patreon to post a 1-2 hour video a year!! The last 3 videos you've put out in the last 3 years have been: a 2 hour video that basically boils down to 'what are conspiracies and how do people fall for them' with some nice set design and costume changes & then your like 4th video about JK Rowling and a video about Twilight. You are Lindsay Ellis core - stop posting about politics like your opinion is worth something!!!

If you have the ability to - don't let them into your job site. Lock the gate/entrance-way/park your vehicle in front of it/etc. As iByteABit said - warn any coworkers you know who would be targeted and come up with a plan/way for them to get out should ICE come knocking.

Less serious: shoot them (ICE)

there's a group of granddads/dads who do exactly that and smoke cigs on the sidewalk outside the laundromat by my apt; its honestly cute because the owner put out like 3-4 chairs for people to sit out there for exactly that reason and every Saturday you'll see them chilling out there around 4pm

The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News.

The plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libya’s leadership, two people with direct knowledge of the plans and a former U.S. official said.

In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

No final agreement has been reached, and Israel has been kept informed of the administration’s discussions, the same three sources said.

The State Department and the National Security Council did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Basem Naim, a senior Hamas official, said that Hamas, the U.S.-designated terrorist group that has run Gaza, was not aware of any discussions about moving Palestinians to Libya.

“Palestinians are very rooted in their homeland, very strongly committed to the homeland and they are ready to fight up to the end and to sacrifice anything to defend their land, their homeland, their families, and the future of their children,” Naim said in response to questions from NBC News. “[Palestinians] are exclusively the only party who have the right to decide for the Palestinians, including Gaza and Gazans, what to do and what not to do.”

Representatives of the Israeli government declined to comment.

Libya has been plagued by instability and warring political factions throughout the nearly 14 years since a civil war broke out in the country and its longtime dictator, Moammar Gadhafi, was toppled. Libya is struggling to care for its current population as two rival governments, one in the west led by Abdul Hamid Dbeibah and one in the east led by Khalifa Haftar, are actively and violently fighting for control. The State Department currently advises Americans not to travel to Libya “due to crime, terrorism, unexploded landmines, civil unrest, kidnapping, and armed conflict.”

Dbeibah’s government could not be reached for comment. Haftar’s Libyan National Army did not respond to a request for comment.

How many Palestinians in Gaza would voluntarily leave to live in Libya is an open question. One idea administration officials have discussed is to provide Palestinians with financial incentives such as free housing and even a stipend, the former U.S. official said.

The details of when or how any plan to relocate Palestinians to Libya could be implemented are murky, and an effort to resettle up to 1 million people there would likely face significant obstacles.

Such an effort would likely be extremely expensive, and it’s not clear how the Trump administration would seek to pay for it. In the past, the administration has said Arab nations would help with rebuilding Gaza after the war there ends, but they have been critical of Trump’s idea of permanently relocating Palestinians.

In recent weeks, the Trump administration has also looked at Libya as a place where it could send some immigrants it wants to deport from the U.S. However, plans to send one group of immigrants to Libya were stalled by a federal judge this month.

Moving up to 1 million Palestinians to Libya could put far more of a strain on the fragile country.

The CIA’s most recent publicly available estimate of Libya’s current population is about 7.36 million. In terms of population, Libya absorbing 1 million more people would be equivalent to the U.S. taking in about 46 million.

Precisely where Palestinians would be resettled in Libya has not been determined, according to the former U.S. official. Administration officials are looking at options for housing them and every potential method for transporting them from Gaza to Libya — by air, land and sea —is being considered, according to one of the people with direct knowledge of the effort.

Any of those methods would likely prove cumbersome and time-consuming, as well as costly.

It would take around 1,173 flights on the world’s largest passenger airplane, the Airbus A380, at its maximum passenger capacity to transport 1 million people, for instance. With no airport in Gaza, moving anyone from there on flights would first require transporting them to an airport in the region. If Israel does not want to allow Palestinians to come through its territory, the closest airport would be in Cairo, about 200 miles away.

Transportation by land from Gaza through Egypt to Benghazi, Libya’s second-largest city, which is farther east than the capital, Tripoli, would require driving about 1,300 miles. Automobiles typically hold fewer passengers than other modes of transportation. About 55 people can fit in an intercity passenger bus.

Up to 2,000 people can fit on the top-end versions of some of the ferries the U.S. used to transport civilians along the Mediterranean Sea to escape Libya’s civil war in 2011. If those vessels were to be used — and assuming that they didn’t need to refuel and weather conditions were good — it would take hundreds of trips lasting more than a day each way for up to 1 million people to travel from Gaza to Benghazi.

The plan under discussion is part of President Donald Trump’s vision for a postwar Gaza, which he said in February the U.S. would seek to “own” and rebuild as what he called “the Riviera of the Middle East,” two current U.S. officials, the former U.S. official and the two people with direct knowledge of the effort said.

“We’re going to take over that piece, develop it and create thousands and thousands of jobs, and it will be something the entire Middle East can be proud of,” Trump said at the time.

To achieve his goal for the reconstruction of Gaza, Trump has said Palestinians there would have to be permanently resettled elsewhere.

“You can’t live in Gaza right now, and I think we need another location. I think it should be a location that’s going to make people happy,” Trump said in February during a White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump outlined a goal of finding “a beautiful area to resettle people permanently in nice homes, and where they can be happy and not be shot, not be killed, not be knifed to death like what’s happening in Gaza.”

“I don’t think people should be going back to Gaza,” he said.

Trump’s idea, which blindsided some of his top aides, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, when he announced it, drew criticism from America’s Arab allies and U.S. lawmakers from both parties.

“We’ll see what the Arab world says but, you know, that’d be problematic at many, many levels,” Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said at the time.

The U.S. and Israel in March also rejected a proposal from Egypt for rebuilding Gaza without relocating Palestinians.
The administration’s work on a Libya plan comes as Trump’s relationship with Netanyahu has become strained, in part because of Israel’s decision to launch a new military offensive in Gaza.

The Trump administration has considered multiple locations for resettling Palestinians living in Gaza, according to a senior administration official, a former U.S. official familiar with the discussions and one of the people with direct knowledge of the effort. Syria, with its new leadership following the ouster of Bashar al Assad in December, also is under discussion as a possible location for resettling Palestinians currently in Gaza, according to one of the people with direct knowledge of the effort and a former U.S. official familiar with the discussions.

The Trump administration has taken steps toward restoring diplomatic relations with Syria. Trump announced on Tuesday that the U.S. would lift sanctions on Syria and met briefly with the country’s new leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa, on Wednesday.

I wish a very painful death to the entirety of the United States!!!

Watching Y'all make fun of people for being virgins or calling people virgins really hurts.

Posting here on an alt because my normal username can be linked to me in real life, but I post here daily. Most of you have probably upvoted my posts at one point or another. But yeah, I'm old, and I'm a virgin, and while it doesn't bother me much anymore, it's really bad praxis to call people virgins as an insult or to make fun of them for being virgins. Incels are bad not because they are virgins but because they just blame women for their cause. Make fun of them for their shitty beliefs, not because they are virgins.

I think for a lot of us we still hold on to the capitalist idea of success that has been handed to us. That we need to have money and a job and a partner and kids and all that to be seen as good. And that's not possible for a lot of us. I know that's not possible for me I've been unemployed for years at this point. So we make fun of them for believing in the system but still not having it. I think it's right when people point out here that the things a lot of the alt-right are mad about are rightful things to be mad about. It's just that they then blame them on the (((globalists))) and muslims and immigrants and SJWs when really it's capitalism and actual rich people.

But seriously, that's all I have to say. Please think before using virgin as an insult. It's just a state of being, that of having not had sex, and every single one of you were a virgin at some point in time. Thanks for reading. I love all y'all anyway.

NEW YORK (AP) — A Brooklyn woman said she feared for her life as she was chased, kicked, spit at and pelted with objects by a mob of Orthodox Jewish men who mistook her as a participant in a protest against Israel’s far-right security minister.

The assault, recorded by a bystander, unfolded Thursday near the global headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in Crown Heights, where an appearance by Itamar Ben-Gvir set off clashes between pro-Palestinian activists and members of the neighborhood’s large Orthodox Jewish community.

The woman, a neighborhood resident in her 30s, told The Associated Press she learned of the protest after hearing police helicopters over her apartment. She walked over to investigate around 10:30 p.m. but by then the protest had mostly dispersed. Not wanting to be filmed, she covered her face with a scarf.

“As soon as I pulled up my scarf, a group of 100 men came over immediately and encircled me,” said the woman, who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety.

‘I had nowhere to go’

“They were shouting at me, threatening toremoved me, chanting ‘death to Arabs.’ I thought the police would protect me from the mob, but they did nothing to intervene,” she said.

As the chants grew in intensity, a lone police officer tried to escort her to safety. They were followed for blocks by hundreds of men and boys jeering in Hebrew and English.

Video shows two of the men kicking her in the back, another hurling a traffic cone into her head and a fourth pushing a trash can into her.

“This is America,” one of the men can be heard saying. “We got Israel. We got an Army now.”

At one point, she and the police officer were nearly cornered against a building, the video shows.

“I felt sheer terror,” the woman recalled. “I realized at that point that I couldn’t lead this mob of men to my home. I had nowhere to go. I didn’t know what to do. I was just terrified.”

After several blocks, the officer hustled the woman into a police vehicle, prompting one man to yell, “Get her!” The crowd erupted in cheers as she was driven away.

The woman, a lifelong New Yorker, said she was left with bruises and mentally shaken by the episode, which she said police should investigate as an act of hate.

“I’m afraid to move around the neighborhood where I’ve lived for a decade,” she told the AP. “It doesn’t seem like anyone in any position of power really cares.”

A police spokesperson said one person was arrested and five others were issued summons following the demonstration, but did not say whether anyone involved in assaulting the woman was charged.

Mayor Eric Adams said Sunday that police were investigating “a series of incidents stemming from clashing protests on Thursday that began when a group of anti-Israel protesters surrounded the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters — a Jewish house of worship — in Brooklyn.”

He said police had spoken to a different woman on the pro-Palestinian side of the protest who suffered injuries after she was harassed by counterprotesters. Photos shared online showed that woman with blood streaming down her face.

“Let me be clear: None of this is acceptable, in fact, it is despicable,” Adams added. “New York City will always be a place where people can peacefully protest, but we will not tolerate violence, trespassing, menacing, or threatening.”

The protest was one of several in recent days against Ben-Gvir, an ultranationalist settler leader who is embarking on his first U.S. state visit since joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet three years ago.

Previously convicted in Israel of racist incitement and support for a terrorist group, he has called on his supporters to confront Palestinians and assert “Jewish Power.”

The protest against Ben-Gvir’s Brooklyn appearance generated condemnations from some Jewish groups, who accused participants of targeting a religious site.

Chabad-Lubavitch denounces incident

The neighborhood around the Chabad headquarters also was the site of the 1991 Crown Heights riot, in which Black residents outraged by a boy’s death in a crash involving a rabbi’s motorcade attacked Jews, homes and businesses for three days.

A Chabad-Lubavitch spokesman, Rabbi Motti Seligson, denounced both the anti-Ben-Gvir protesters and the mob that chased the woman.

“The violent provocateurs who called for the genocide of Jews in support of terrorists and terrorism — outside a synagogue, in a Jewish neighborhood, where some of the worst antisemitic violence in American history was perpetrated, and where many residents share deep bonds with the victims of Oct. 7 — did so in order to intimidate, provoke, and instill fear,” Seligson said.

“We condemn the crude language and violence of the small breakaway group of young people; such actions are entirely unacceptable and wholly antithetical to the Torah’s values. The fact that a possibly uninvolved bystander got pulled into the melee further underscores the point,” he said.

nothing really to say about this article besides what-the-hell and of course, DEATH TO ISRAEL AND ALL ZIONISTS

 

5/5 i highly recommend, go see it. Go in blind if you can.

So many good shots, scenes, and plot threads throughout the film but there are a few in particular I wanna point out. Spoilers ahead.

spoilers

  • The very beginning of the film when Sammie opens the church door.
  • When Smoke imparts the lesson about always negotiating/knowing your value to the girl he pays to watch his car and the next scene is Grace knowing how much her time is worth when he asks for a rush job on the signage.
  • Slim's story about his friend's lynching (this one really got me because, it never shows it as he's telling the story but you can hear it happening. GIVE DELROY LINDO AN OSCAR FOR THIS SCENE ALONE)
  • The climax scene in the film when Sammie summons spirits from the past and future with his music. Amazing. I do think this scene will win the film an oscar nomination too because it is so good. The Ivory Coast dancers, the women twerking with the women making collards, the gangsters gambling in the back room...Music IS magic.
  • Smoke telling Sammie to bury the broken guitar at the end of the film and Sammie refusing to because Stack told him it had been Charley Patton's guitar; to which Smoke tells him the truth - it was their abusive father's.
  • The penultimate scene, bringing the film full circle to its beginning, where Sammie's father asks him to throw away the broken guitar in the name of God and he drives away clutching it to his chest. I was being very annoying to my friends about this scene in the car because it hearkens back to the prior scene where Smoke tells him the truth about it being Smoke & Stacks' father's. That guitar gave Sammie the best day of his life while also giving Smoke & Stack some of the worst days in theirs.
  • Sammie's Chicago blues bar being named 'Pearline's'
