Israeli soldiers who drove with wounded Palestinian tied to their vehicle 'violated orders', military says
  • You're the only one doing a dumb dance by defending Israel in their land grab and genocide. And if I was a Palestinian in Gaza I'd damn sure be fighting against the IDF invading my land, raping my sisters and killing my children.

  • State Department official resigns after Biden administration says Israel not blocking Gaza aid
  • Our current political structure and the two party system makes even the best politician look feeble.
    I'm not sure how to do it but represent.us proposes to fix it in the near future (if we all bought in, I suppose).

    One thing that sticks out on that sit is that whether all of voters agree or very few of us agree on a policy there's about a 30% chance of the policy becoming law.

    It goes without saying that the rich and corporations benefit from the current system. It will be tough to change. And makes our system pretty pathetic in practice.

  • Democrats prepare to go to war against third-party candidates
  • Someone posted this link in another thread. The site has ranked choice voting among other things as ways to fix the US political system. Which at times has seemed so broken to me that I believed only a revolution could fix. The site talks about starting local and is optimistic that we could fix it democratically and over the next decade or so (I don't remember the timeline, just that it seemed quicker and with less drastic measures than I assumed would be needed). https://represent.us/

    Bonus, Jennifer Lawrence is involved and in the initial information video.

    Something that did stand out was that, currently, whether a policy had 0% public support or 100% public support there was only about 30% chance of the policy/law getting passed. And that 70% of a politicians time was spent raising money to get elected.

  • Everyone deserves a friend
  • This guy's (image not op) whole thing on Twitter seemed to be post something like that and then 5 donation posts. I couldn't determine if legit but seemed sketchy so I blocked.
