Geez, two huge earthquakes across the world seemingly hours apart. That a crazy, and sad, coincidence.

NPR just ran an article about the consequences of PEPFAR aid reduction in Zambia, and it’s heartbreaking.

All Republicans should be tried for crimes against humanity.

The half crop at the bottom really makes this meme

Why not use both? I still use Reddit for game communities that haven’t developed on lemmy. Right now Lemmy is useful for different things, though I hope it continues to grow.

I deleted the Reddit app so I’m forced to use the browser version of Reddit which is fucking awful and keeps my Reddit time to a minimum.

Israel basically created the monster that is Hamas today because they funded the radical islamists to take away support for the more leftist PLO.

Your statement could be true, but the way you’re presenting it sounds like you’re just letting the oppressors win.

Agreed. I find the people in my life who blindly support Israel know nothing of the history of Zionism prior to 1948 and think Palestine was given to Israel just because of the holocaust, almost universally omitting that there were already people there and the responsibility of all western governments (I’m considering Russia “west” here) in the oppression of Jews in the years leading up to, and after, the holocaust.

The Behind the Bastards episode on Bibi Netanyahu talked about how he really got his start in the US as a lobbyist for the state of Israel and the media blitz Israel utilized to get both American parties to unconditionally support Israel. Most Americans are just propagandized af.

The stream isn’t always consistent and I ain’t got the patience to clean that shit up. Sittings easier.

Just fucking die already Christ.

I get better responses here on Lemmy with my longer replies, which is great. Reddit feels overall dumber now where people will try and argue that your comment with sources is somehow less compelling than someone else’s sourceless opinion (true story).

I’m having far better interactions on Lemmy.

I feel like the biggest reason he won’t be effective is that he’s against pure obstructionists in the GOP. They have no desire to govern and somehow won the House.

The Onion’s latest expansion into physical media had forced the company to reevaluate all parts of its business—from its glaringly inaccurate reporting, to its comparatively low circulation numbers, to its deeply unpopular brand, to its completely inept columnists.

Lmao

Almost 40% of South Dakotans are trash.

It really seems like the IDF is the more successful Hamas.

The incidents on the border mission that led to troops dying have varied. Some of the soldier deaths reported include one who died from a medical emergency at a hotel where troops were staying in McAllen, and another who was accidentally shot in Fort Clark Springs. Two other soldiers died in a traffic accident in Laredo — one in the accident and the other by suicide in the minutes after the crash. At least four additional soldiers have died by suicide while assigned to the border.

This article is a ride and it makes this national guard deployment look even worse.

Trump tapped into their anxieties of a frightening world that’s worsening

No reflection on how Trump exponentially makes that worse?

So they’re stupider than we thought. Nice.

Edit: at least the ones that vote

Another reminder that many democrats are still conservative garbage.

It’s because the field of economics is just bullshit

Apparently some idiot left his garage door open and the convict got a hold of his “.22” rifle from the corner of the garage.

Dude should never be allowed to own firearms again.

Last week I coincidentally listened to the Behind the Bastards episode about excited delirium so this is a pleasant surprise to see this morning.
