Lies. US officials are known to be liars and blame Israeli last-minute changes on Hamas. Watch Hasan’s interview with Jeremy Scahill (starting at 22:15). He provided an exclusive look at the signed ceasefire document by Hamas and other parties on Monday while Blinken and others continued to lie till Wednesday that Hamas was delaying. And the reason the Palestinians wanted the document to be signed and to be exact is because of precisely what Israel is trying to pull off here: renege on the deal and claim it’s Hamas. Change the terms late into the deal. Not adhere to what was actually agreed.

I hate this new Cold War bs. I’ll never download IG. Fuck Zuckerberg. I’m never using YouTube shorts. RedNote looks cool. I’ve always wanted to learn Mandarin anyways.
I just came across this on my fyp! Not Amerikan so don’t need to dl RedNote but I just might cuz a) my country might just ban TikTok too, were the biggest us simps there are, b) who knows what’ll happen to my TikTok w/o all the Amerikans, and c) it does look fun lol.
I do want there to be like genuinely magnitudes more people to transfer tho. Like, if the ban fucking goes through, let there be 50-100 million people on RedNote and not a single fucking person on IG or yt or whatever. Fuck them.
im not amerikan but i know my cucked ass country will follow suit soon enough. goddamn i hate living in the western world. xi pls save us.
For a second I thought you were talking about a change on here and I damn near lost my shit. I hope to god our mods and admins remain strict stalinists.
When a person talks about how this will make queer people targets like on Twitter or Facebook:
Discuss ideas and be critical of principles. Show the respect you desire to receive.
A lot of attacks like that are common and worth refuting once in awhile anyway. It can be valuable to show the response on occasion. Additionally, you don’t always have to have the last word.
So now liberals say you can "discuss" trans rights or existence. Like, fascist ideas are fine. Theoretically, principally. Just be civil about it. Maintain the veneer. Fucking liberals I swear to god. The onus falls on the marginalized and the victimized to always somehow have to defend their very existence.
Sino-Soviet Split was the nastiest ugliest divorce in the history of divorces and we all suffer for it.
I have the Princeton/Reitter edition I’ve been dying to read so I’ll be quoting from it (once I start). y’all can lemme know how it compares to the rest. Expect me to join in a few days or maybe next week onwards? Or maybe I’ll just keep updating this comment for this week’s discussion and hope I can catch up idk.
add me add me add me
Hey, I’d like to be added to these discussions! I didn’t know we’d started already. I’ll have to quickly catch up 
It’s the only site where I actually post or comment. Everywhere else I just lurk/exist cuz this place is too small 
They’re working tirelessly for a ceasefire though, don’t worry.

So, when is this coming to Hexbear?
I don’t have words.
James Cameron: Yes, humans are literally colonizing your planet for resources, destroying your cultures, enslaving your peoples, but you cannot resist the wrong way. Yes, this is inspired by my understanding of indigenous populations on Earth and their colonizations, what about it?
This is fake, right? Like, I’m falling for fake news? Right?
Presented as a means for assessing whether voters were educated enough to vote, literacy tests and other methods were designed for a single purpose: to stop Black Americans from voting.
During the Reconstruction period that followed the war, enfranchised Black men gave Ulysses S. Grant his narrow victory in the popular vote. Before that period ended, 2,000 Black Americans would be elected to office in the South.
But by the dawn of the 20th century, all the progress that was made to expand the rights of formerly enslaved Black Americans was severely crippled by the institution of state-specific voting laws that were designed to exclude Black voters from the ballot box. Southern states created elaborate voter registration procedures or “voting literacy tests” that determined whether the voter in question was literate enough to cast their ballot.
Of course, these voting literacy tests were administered largely to voters of color and were scored by biased judges. The tests were intentionally confusing and difficult and one wrong answer meant a failing grade. Even Black voters with college degrees were given failing scores.
In the mid-1960s, a professor of law at Duke University, William W. Van Alstyne, conducted an experiment in which he submitted four questions found on the Alabama voter’s literacy test to “all professors currently teaching constitutional law in American law schools.”
Alstyne’s professors were told to answer all submitted questions without the aid of any external reference, just as any voter would be required to do when presented with the test. Ninety-six respondents sent Alstyne their answers; 70 percent of the answers given to him were incorrect.
As Alstyne had demonstrated, passing a voting literacy test was virtually impossible. The questions were intentionally written to confuse the reader, and one wrong answer would result in automatic failure.
Yeah this, the firefighter interview, the Bernie interview. It’s been great. He also said if the ceasefire holds, and if international parties are then allowed, he’s interested in going into Gaza. Scahill obviously cautioned him about the dangers associated with doing that (i.e. Israel can claim at any point that Hamas has violated the ceasefire and start bombing again) but they both agreed on the importance of international observers, journalists etc to document what has happened. They agreed to talk off-camera more about that.
