Victims of Catholic nuns rely on each other after being overlooked in the clergy sex abuse crisis ( apnews.com )

On Wednesdays, the support group meets over Zoom. The members talk about their lives, their religious families and their old parochial schools. But mostly, they are there to talk about the sexual abuse they suffered at the hands of Catholic nuns....

China wants to rid itself of Western tech by 2027 -- outlines domestic alternatives in 'Document 79' ( www.tomshardware.com )

The WSJ reports that China is on an extensive push to drive out Western tech companies from the country and replace them with domestic alternatives. China reportedly started its domestic expansion in 2022 with a highly secretive "Document 79," an initiative focused on deleting Western tech companies from the country. Since then,...

Basically if we lived our whole lives being shown a faked image of reality, would we ever question if more existed beyond what we see and if shown the truth, would we accept it?

They're applying this to chat, which I assume is in reference to Twitch chat or streamers in general, and I guess saying people are dumbing themselves down with media consumption instead of seeking understanding of reality? idk.

Mate, there is literally only one country with America in it's name.

Furthermore in a 2 continent Americas model, there is no other peoples American could refer to because the people from the continents are either North American or South American.

Shit if anything, United Statesians could refer to the United Mexican States. So you're making it confusing when it wasn't before.

President Biden Delivers Fiery State of the Union Address, Drawing Election Battle Lines ( www.infoterkiniviral.com )

The statement marks an apparent reversal from what Biden said Friday. While at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, the president was asked, “Do you regret using the word ‘illegal’ to describe immigrants last night, sir?”

“Well, I probably — I don’t re — technically not supposed to be here,” he responded.

Funny how he used illegal, doubled down on it, got negative press, and regretted it the second time he was asked if he regretted it.

Almost like it’s insincere.

The agreement — signed by Amy Dacey, the former CEO of the DNC, and [Clinton campaign manager] Robby Mook with a copy to [Clinton campaign counsel] Marc Elias— specified that in exchange for raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised,” Brazile wrote in the story under the headline “Inside Hillary Clinton’s Secret Takeover of the DNC.”

Brazils added of the deal: “[Clinton’s] campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings.”

The Clintons outright took control of the DNC, hardly conductive to a fair primaries.

“I have an apology to make to @BernieSanders,” Phillips wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I had long dismissed his complaints about the rigged Democratic Party primary system.”

“But you know what? He was right. And I apologize, Bernie,” he added.

Other D’s ageee

After hacked emails published Monday by WikiLeaks appeared to reveal Brazile, during her time as a CNN commentator, giving advance notice to Clinton’s camp about a debate question,

They further gave unfair advantages to benefit Hillary

In the emails, DNC staffers derided the Sanders campaign.[28] The Washington Post reported: "Many of the most damaging emails suggest the committee was actively trying to undermine Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign."[8]

The leaks show the DNC was weaponised against Bernie, they colluded together to find ways to smear his campaign, even suggesting antisemitism.

Etc etc etc. I’ve done this song and dance a million times with you people and if I was still on Reddit I’d go back and find my long perfectly sourced post that I’d trot out every time.

You’d end up saying “wahhh it’s not technically illegal so it doesn’t matter” and I’d go on with my day not wasting any further time. So enjoy me randomly copying stuff from the first 3 links I clicked on Google, you can be a big boy and go search those exact quotes to find the corresponding pages I got them from if you want to read more.

tl;dr: Hacked emails and admissions from DNC chairpeople all point to the same thing, the DNC was rigged to give Hillary an unfair advantage over everyone else. Democracy was subverted through this bias, and as such we will never know how Bernie would’ve failed.

What we do know is that Hillary tried her best to game the system and lost. So it’s not like Bernie could have done any worse.

How about instead of totally going to have a big talk with Bibi, that he comes right out and publicly denounces Israel and the genocide it’s committing?

Why not stop pushing to send billions in aid and weapons to Israel?

But no, he’s been accidentally “caught” saying he will do something, just like it was “leaked” that he thought they were being jerks months ago behind closed doors.

Deceptichum ,
@Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works avatar

. . . So you think not enabling genocide is unrealistic and unreasonable with reality?

The bar here is pretty low, stop sending Israel weapons and money, stop defending them in the UN, and stop saying you support them.

Deceptichum ,
@Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works avatar

You’re right, the PotUS is a completely powerless position, Biden literally can’t do anything! He’s forced to put support bills offering aid to Israel, to fast track weapons to Israel ignoring congress, to have his Secretary of State protect Israel in the UN.

The President is such a completely powerless position, right?

Spawned off an adult entertainment trade association.

Reason is a merge of the Sex Party, Cyclists, and the NSW euthanasia party. Basically a broad tent party of single issue parties that have no reason to oppose each others goals. Sadly they haven’t faired too well at the polls last election.

I’d love to see them merge with the Fusion party - itself a merger of the Science Party, Pirate Party, Secular Party, Vote Planet, and Climate Change Justice Party.

And for all of them to stick with one bloody name so they can build up public recognition. At least people took notice of the Sex party name.

Sadly no.

We have two main parties Lib and Lab. Both rightwing neoliberal parties , one is slightly more right to the other. Imagine a little bit more left Dems vs a little bit more right Dems.

Our preferential system means all votes have to end in 2 parties. Thus any slightly left parties vote is funnelled to Labor and any slightly right parties goes to Liberal.

We get the illusion of more than 2 parties.

That’s a bad definition.

A tankie is simply a ML who supports the use of force to restrict people’s freedoms. It’s named after the Soviets sending tanks into Hungary to stop a popular democratic uprising, but the same applies to China sending tanks into Tiananmen.

They’re basically super statists who value the state over the people.

All leftists are opposed to capitalism, but obvs tankies are a small minority of leftists, so your definition falls apart.

Biden and the US are still supplying them with weapons and money, and shielding them from the UN.

Just because they drop a few meagre bits of aid and share some empty rhetoric doesn’t change shit.

Biden and the US are still directly contributing to the war, that is the only thing that matters.

No.

It is very fucking important. You don't fight a fire by actively dumping fuel into it.

If it takes a few weeks for their stockpiles to run out, than the best time to stop aid was weeks ago, the second best time is today.
