Then please make sure you oppose the UAE nominee for Secretary-General at the UN Security Council
The world cannot ignore what is happening in Sudan. One year on from the mass atrocities in El Fasher, the UK is sanctioning those linked to these and other atrocities, and strengthening support for survivors and communities at risk of famine.

The corruption of black elite politics mirrors the corruption of other ethnic grievance political organizing structures. Here the National Urban League is serving as an Amazon lobbyist, pretending that their work is about 'black and brown New Yorkers.' xitter.cf/SahalieD/status/211252…
New: Civil rights group the National Urban League is coming out in opposition to a NYC Council bill that would require companies like Amazon to directly employ “last-mile” delivery and warehouse workers – instead of relying on third-party contractors.

no patrick, no he does not
Biden wins in '24 if he just doesn't do that 1 stupid debate. All his handlers were insane for having an 80 year old fly from Europe to a west coast fundraiser and then back to the east coast for marathon cramming sessions. In old days they'd commit sepuku for such negligence.

Dave sat down with us to discuss the challenges of confronting provably false narratives on science, history, archaeology and more in a world where this anti-science rhetoric has become intimately intertwined with right-wing politics and for some reason, Zionism

I suppose on the margin it enabled it, but I've never really gotten this point. Iran was clearly applicable of funding its proxies with or without the JCPOA, it's not as if hamas and hezbollah all popped into existence in after the JCPOA and then ceased to exist after removal.
The last two years of Obama were all bad news, all the time. Gun running, hacking reporters’ computers, the emergence of ISIS, and the JCPOA. Nothing he says here is true. You can criticize Trump’s approach to Iran, but the JCPOA was feckless with a side effect of funding Iran’s proxy terror campaigns across the Middle East for a decade.

I absolutely do not believe this but D+17.... or anything remotely close, would be a generational ass kicking of a political party to the likes which haven't been seen. Btw, I absolutely do not buy it.
The data that is so bad for Republicans that it can't even be shown btw shows a generic ballot of D+17 lol
