Popular Front’s publications are very good. Conflict Journalism at its best.

Wait, is this not standard practice?

I’ve always organized media files this way; I index my music similarly.

My dad had The Blues Brothers on VHS. I used to watch it ALL the time. I’ve seen it upwards of 100 times. It is still one of my favorite movies of all time. When I was a kid 95% of it went over my head, but as an adult, it’s just so good.

I’ve been using Transit to get around the DC Metro area for a few years now. It’s pretty damn helpful and reliable. Sometimes they’re not accurate (buses don’t show up in their system, or are in the system, but never show at the stop) but I expect that with public transit.

Either way, it’s the best app I’ve found (for this area at least).

One of the candidates from the major parties will win. Period. One will gleefully do what he can to accelerate the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel has said they’re not concerned with Iran, and they shouldn’t be with all the weapons the west sends them.

Harris is currently the VP and can’t just openly go against the administration she is serving in and therefore is in a tough spot, I’d imagine. Do I think Harris will commit to a weapons blockade or any sort of immediate solution? Absolutely not.

I do, however, think that Harris will 100% be more open to measures to bring about a ceasefire through pressuring Netanyahu and the Israeli state. That’s the choice.

Nobody in US politics has a chance to stop the genocide instantaneously. That’s the fact. Nobody that will be elected can do that. Harris, I believe, will be far more open to measures that will bring about change.

Is there a perfect option? There never is.

I accidentally deleted my comment when I went to edit it. My apologies.

Miriam Adelson is one of the Trump campaign’s chief financiers. She pledged the Trump campaign in the neighborhood of $100m to support Israel’s annexation of the West Bank. That would be direct acceleration of the genocide.

Adelson previously donated close to $100m to Trump support moving the embassy back to Tel Aviv, which Trump gleefully supported.

The dislike for Trump crosses party affiliation and traditional right/left dichotomies. That is to say that there are A LOT of Republicans that dislike Trump and don’t see him as an ally, or see him as quite the opposite, in fact.
