Biden is self-destructing his own campaign.

The U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) estimates that the city’s population has grown to at least 1.4 million, more than five times its prewar count, with thousands of people sleeping in tents with little protection.

That's nearly 3/4ths of the whole population of the Gaza Strip at this point.

Democrats’ stunning turn-around on U.S.-provided funding for UNRWA is a triumph for hard-right activists and Republican lawmakers who have long sought to undermine the U.N. agency.

The cages are getting smaller and more abusive.

The United States government has placed detained immigrants in solitary confinement more than 14,000 times in the last five years, and the average duration is almost twice the 15-day threshold that the United Nations has said may constitute torture, according to a new analysis of federal records by researchers at Harvard and the nonprofit group Physicians for Human Rights.

The report, based on government records from 2018 through 2023 and interviews with several dozen former detainees, noted cases of extreme physical, verbal and sexual abuse for immigrants held in solitary cells.

Overall, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is detaining more than 38,000 people -- up from about 15,000 at the start of the Biden administration in January 2021

Solitary confinement placements in the third quarter of 2023 were 61 percent higher than in the third quarter of the previous year, according to ICE's quarterly reports.

More than 680 cases of isolation lasted at least three months, the records show; 42 of them lasted more than one year.

Is this projection? Why hasn't Cotton denied being a member of the CCP, is there something he's hiding? He sure claims to know quite a lot about what's going on behind the scenes in China, maybe somebody should check this out

Spoiler: it's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir once again (joined by 11 other ministers this time)

Now do West Palestine

You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. The hospital you're referring to is Al-Ahli Arab Hospital. And the "rocket" from the footage you're referring to has been proven to have been an Iron Dome projectile.

Israel has also attacked Al-Shifa hospital, Al-Quds hospital, the Indonesian hospital, the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship hospital, and the Qatari hospital described in the article.

Unfortunately that's not how it works because of the electoral college. You're ultimately voting to choose your state's electors. It's up to each and every state to decide the process for choosing their electors.

Agreed. That's why Israel shouldn't be surprised that Hamas retaliated a couple of weeks ago after years of Israel's large-scale killing sprees.

[-] ira@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago

Exactly. There's basically two parties right now: the one running around setting things on fire, and the one beholden to corporate interests that won't let them use a fire extinguisher or a water hose.

Is starting fires worse than letting an already started fire continue to burn? Yes. Are the currently burning fires going to be extinguished either way? No.
