    Trump trial updates

    Was he paid to publish articles that dishonestly favored trump? If so, I missed that, as I saw him offering to do it because he wanted to. You're really ignoring my point about the large gap between 'good journalism' and 'crime' and the reasons to protect journalism from powers that would abuse...

    Trump trial updates

    No facts were ignored. If an empty false claim like that were an argument, I suppose you have a point.

    I see other boards saying "The left needs to handle the anti-Semitism NOW!" Since when was the left the anti-Semites? Nazis are not left.

    International Court of Justice, after hearing evidence and arguments from both sides: the case has proven that they are plausibly committing genocide. firelygmf: it is not. Hm, ICJ and the obvious evidence, or firelygmh saying 'nuh uh' with zero case for that position responding to the case made...

    For you, perhaps. It's not close when you are informed and look honestly at it. We could discuss it some, but that can start if you try to quantify the harm each side has done, in broad strokes.

    What the Israeli Genocide of Gaza has taught me...

    I can say that there isn't one exact form of capitalism, and that what you call 'Progressives mitigating capitalism' is still a form of capitalism. Look let's clear this up: my choice of the words "Oligarchic Capitalism" and "Democratic Capitalism" is to accurately illustrate the real issues...

    What the Israeli Genocide of Gaza has taught me...

    The #1 reason I heard people give for opposing Bernie was the word Socialist. He'd have done a lot better with a lot of voters without it. And I SUPPORT his helping remove the stigma of the word. Yes, they'd call him a socialist like they did Obama - and Obama was hurt far less by it, because he...

    Another example of which party is better for labor (not that it isn't already clear)

    Desantis scheme blows up on GOP faces

    That's not correct, unfortunately. No one decent?

    What Youtube or other Online Accessible Sources/Channels do you Frequently Find Accurately Report/Opine?

    I've considered a long post with recommended sources - to answer your question, I support Progressive generally - but some would include commondreams.org, The Intercept, Vox, Al Jazeera, MSNBC Prime Time hosts, The Guardian. Some sources are good if you account for some bias, including The New...

    I see other boards saying "The left needs to handle the anti-Semitism NOW!" Since when was the left the anti-Semites? Nazis are not left.

    That article excerpt is quite a piece of propaganda. It totally excludes the actual issue - Israel (Worse than Hamas)'s colonial project against Palestinians since its founding, its atrocities, to try to claim there are only two topics - the 'good' protesters who support a cease-fire and food...

    I see other boards saying "The left needs to handle the anti-Semitism NOW!" Since when was the left the anti-Semites? Nazis are not left.

    That's exactly the goal of the power and propaganda used for that message - to change who the victim is to support the atrocities.

    I see other boards saying "The left needs to handle the anti-Semitism NOW!" Since when was the left the anti-Semites? Nazis are not left.

    Prove your claim. I can probably better show that the extremist right-wing government of Israel (Worse than Hamas) is far more anti-Semitic than any American left, who largely ARE American Jews opposed to that government. False equivalency. Again prove your claim.

    I see other boards saying "The left needs to handle the anti-Semitism NOW!" Since when was the left the anti-Semites? Nazis are not left.

    Show me evidence of one case of protesters "forming chains" aimed at Jewish students - the protesters, by the way, largely ARE Jewish students. They HAVE sometimes locked buildings preventing anyone from entering, not only Jewish people, in a pretty standard protest tactic. Your comparison to...

    What the Israeli Genocide of Gaza has taught me...

    Sometimes you don't, and sometimes you use language voters like better. How much a price did Bernie pay with voters for insisting on the phrase 'Democratic Socialist', shorted by most to 'Socialist'? There's an argument for him trying to defend the word - and an argument that he'd do better at...

    Trump trial updates

    We're discussing two rather different issues. You are discussing 'good journalism', and we could agree all day on it. I'm discussing the criminal limits for 'free speech', which are very different. Take your point about Sean Hannity - agreed. Now, take a trump administration claiming that...
