If Fulgencio Batista were two people, he'd be Hafez and Bashar al-Assad, in that exact order.

Throwback to 2014 when SAlt shot down my suggestion we establish links to the churches in East Flatbush, BK. I was told the churches were "too close to the Democratic Party". Silly MFers all but endorsed Bernie two years later. Anyways, as an atheist Jewish convert I endorse.
You know who’s really good at mutual aid? Churches. They have huge buildings. They have sick and shut in lists. Most of them run food pantries and warming shelters. They’re good contacts and will introduce you to the community. My DSA chapter holds its meetings in an Episcopalian church. Some pastors and priests are pretty progressive. The Black Panthers and RNA worked with several.

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure we had our weekly branch meetings at a damn church but still didn't seem to have any links or membership to the local community. I left the org after a year.

This is a great summary of how the CIA actually works. The "dopamine left", by which I mean leftists who lack discipline for political development and just shit post/act insufferable for the dopamine hit, need to grow up and become dialectical/historical materialists.
People think that the CIA just has a button that they push and there’s instant regime change, this is an amateurish simplification. What they do is coopt already existing, organic opposition, especially in insular, rural countries where foreigners aren’t trusted. What they’re extremely good at is doing research on you, finding out everything they can about you, looking for weak points, and giving you whatever you want if you play ball and it’s good for the U.S. You are a junior officer in one of the -stans that’s too cozy with the Russians, you called your president a dumbass, and host a weekly drinking and bs session? A lot of people agree with you? We do too. Oh, and your mom has cancer? How about this, we fly moms to the US for treatment on the house, we hook you up with some striking miners and punk kids in the capital who have been spraying “fuck the president”, and see where we go from there? Feed us news — here’s a guy at NYT I know, he’ll answer. The opposition is already there, the CIA just helps coordinate it and focus it. This is why it’s so important to root yourself in the masses so they can’t do that.

I'm Guatemalan and I think Oz is a fucking nutcase.
Alonso I will not tolerate being accused of racism against my own people by a white academic, least of all a Hezbollah apologist like Heidi. What she said is an outrageous smear and the fact that you are condemning me and not her for this is deeply offensive

For months World Central Kitchen leadership censored material coming out of its Gaza operation and refused to honor staff concerns about our work there. They are finally taking a stand after personnel were killed but it is much too late. bit.ly/3vRyq0X

Because 🇮🇱 is killing all of the police in Gaza, chaos has broken out. There is no currency being delivered; the few ATMs that are there are not being filled up with cash at all anymore; no one can access money in their bank accounts. The fee to receive money at a currency office was 5% last week & it is 20% this week because of the severe cash shortage. All because Netanyahu decided his next plan of action was to kill all of the police officers in a Gaza so that there would be complete chaos. 1/n

Stories of atrocity on October 7 have been used to justify the ongoing assault on Gaza. But several of these high-profile claims have been found to be based on unreliable witnesses or even fabricated entirely. We deserve to know the truth. bit.ly/3HINVL2

I was recently asked by a Hebrew Union College admissions staff member why more young people aren't applying for rabbinical school there. They are feeling the pressure—let's make sure they can't avoid it! ✊🇵🇸

they only checked the bodies because one of them was white.
פרטים יוצאי דופן מהתחקיר הראשוני של האסון בסג'עיה: 1. לוחם-קלע (עם כוונת טריג' שמגדילה פי 4) זיהה ראשון מתוך מבנה ב-10:00 בבוקר את 3 החטופים כחשודים. 1 מהם נשא דגל לבן והם צעדו עשרות מטרים ממנו ברחוב, ללא חולצה ובלי נשק. 2. הקלע מגדוד 17 (קורס מ"כים) ירה לעברם אש מדויקת וצעק "מחבלים" 3. חטוף שלישי הספיק לברוח מהירי ולהסתתר במבנה סמוך. המג"ד חדל את הקלע כדי לצאת להסתערות על החשוד-חטוף שלישי. 4. כאשר הכוח עם המג"ד הגיע למבנה הוא שמע ממנו צעקות "הצילו" בעברית. ואז החשוד-חטוף יצא לעברם וספג אש מדויקת וקטלנית לפחות מלוחם אחד בכוח המג"ד. 5. בגלל החזות המערבית של אחד מהשלושה שנהרגו במקום הכוח החליט לבדוק את זהות הגופות וכך הובן שהם חטופים שברחו כניראה משבי חמאס. 6. כמה מאות מטרים מהזירה נמצא לפני יומיים מבנה עם כתובות s.o.s ו"חטופים, הצילו" בעברית. המבנה לא נבדק מחשד שהיה ממולכד אבל כעת הוא יבדק ע"י גורמי מז"פ לבחון אם החטופים שהו בו. 7. בצה"ל אומרים שבאירוע בוצע ירי בניגוד להוראות הפתיחה באש אך מודים שהחיילים לא תודרכו לתרחיש שכזה, שהוא "כמעט בלתי אפשרי עבור כוח שרק לפני יומיים התפוצץ לידו מחבל מתאבד ובזירה בה כל יום יש פיגועי משיכה ופיתויים ללוחמים להיכנס לשטחי השמדה" 8. הרמטכ"ל נכנס לרצועה ללוות אישית התחקיר שלקחיו הראשוניים כבר הועברו לכל הכוחות בשטח
