Rules
- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
- The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Dem leadership still voting for it
17 of 50… that article doesn’t state what you think it does. And each bill has other things tacked onto it that Dems have to worry about as well. It’s not just “vote or not vote” for weapons.
If 17 if bad then 19 voting to stop weapons even last year is proving your point completely wrong. https://www.jta.org/2024/11/21/politics/19-senate-democrats-back-unsuccessful-attempt-to-block-weapons-shipments-to-israel
But of course facts don’t really matter here do they.
Vote in April: https://www.axios.com/2025/04/03/senate-democrats-cancel-military-aid-israel
Vote in June: https://ramirez.house.gov/media/press-releases/ramirez-jacobs-jayapal-pocan-18-members-congress-introduce-legislation
Notably those are the ones with terrible other stuff in them. Can’t win here.

Dem leadership is completely and utterly committed to Israel. There's some voting no but they're still refusing to distance themselves from Israel.
You're also ignoring one of the non voters who missed the vote to go on a press tour about how much she hates what Israel is doing.
But yeah totally not what I think
