will be handled as an adult

again while the whole "tried as an adult" thing. Used so often you wonder what actually doesn't get someone tried as an adult.

illegally purchased for $13 million

lol that has to be literally the cheapest private jet imaginable and they have the gall to call it "high-class" while the US president jets around with a 747 and motorcade vehicles, and they're planning to replace their 747 with a new plane.

Also the Dominican Republic has such a pathetic ruling class.

Wasp Network is a much more boring movie but also unabashedly pro-Cuba.

I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in the US actually called its divisions prefectures considering how much of a free-for-all political structures are here.

You can skip past the parts with the CGTN correspondent. They copy western reporter style way too much lol. Basically the newer prime minister/government in the Solomon Islands is continuing it's cooperation with China. And the usual "mutual respect/win-win cooperation" language that countries use when talking about relations with China and vice versa.

He's a little whiny pissbaby who does nothing for America

It seems like your thing is that he's not effective at being a ruler in the US? If you aren't a chauvinist you wouldn't care about "[doing something] for America". That just sounds like bog-standard middle-class little-Eichmann-type feelings of insecurity about the 4th Reich's ability to continue it's stranglehold on the world. Maybe you want Harris to get into office and show the world that The West™ can still control the world efficiently.

Do you think the people who face the most oppression in this country or any other cares about the important differences between the two candidates? What do people in US prisons think about the two of them? How about people in Latin America? Doubt they give a shit.

Pretending that there aren't large segments of the class hierarchy in this country that benefit from (includes me) and support all the awful stuff the US does is childish.

And using the phrase "mango mussolini". My brother in Christ you probably would've been a Mussolini supporter if you were Italian (but you think you wouldn't because your brain only thinks of Mussolini as "a bad dictator from the other country the US fought" instead of a fascist who had a support base of people exactly like you).

Yet in the hours before Salaam spoke at the convention, many Americans were learning for the first time that the DNC had removed its goal of ending capital punishment from its official platform. The issue had previously been enshrined in the party platform for years, with the language in 2016 especially robust: “We will abolish the death penalty, which has proven to be a cruel and unusual form of punishment,” it read. “It has no place in the United States of America.”

Henry Clay Dennison

(Prefers Socialist Workers Party)

(206) 323-1755

swpcampaignwa@gmail.com

www.themilitant.com

Elected Experience: No information submitted.

Other Professional Experience: Henry Dennison is a railroad conductor and SMART-TD union member.

Education: Dennison learned to have deep confidence in the solidarity and fighting capacity of the working class from the Black- led movement that defeated Jim Crow segregation, and through five decades of work in fruit packing plants, coal mines, railroads, steel mills and other industries.

Community Service: He has recently taken part in solidarity with farm workers, miners, auto workers, flight attendants and firefighters, among others, and joined actions against anti-Jewish attacks, in support of Ukraine’s independence, against the US embargo of Cuba, and in solidarity with immigrant workers.

Statement: We live in a deeply class-divided country ruled by a handful of billionaire families and their government. Democratic and Republican parties say they speak for workers, but millions increasingly recognize this isn’t true.

The global order the US rulers dominated after World War II is coming apart. The economic workings of capitalism are marching the world towards World War III, accelerated by Vladimir Putin’s murderous invasion of Ukraine to deny its national rights, and Hamas’ October 7 pogrom – orchestrated by the counterrevolutionary rulers of Iran – that slaughtered over 1,200 Jews in Israel. Only the working class has the capacity to halt this trajectory.

Driven by competition inherent in capitalism, corporations continue to pursue more production from fewer workers for less pay. But recent union organizing and strike victories point to the possibility of a different future. The low point of labor resistance is behind us. Working people need to build a labor party that breaks from all collaboration with the ruling class and wages a struggle for workers’ power.

Defending constitutional freedoms won in the first American Revolution is a working-class issue. Attempts to jail and silence Donald Trump and criminalize political differences deal a blow to rights working people need. Drop all the charges! Defend Israel’s right to exist as a refuge for Jews in the face of rising Jew-hatred today! Join efforts to defend Jews from attack! Workers need to fight for a public works program to put millions to work at union scale wages building roads, schools, parks, hospitals and more; for regular cost of living increases, wages sufficient to raise a family and quality housing workers can afford; and for workers control of production to guarantee safety on the job and reverse the profit-driven destruction of the environment.
