11·1 day agoUN’s humanitarian chief says aid lorries, which contain baby food and nutrition, are technically in Gaza but have not reached civilians
Was Israel preventing the trucks from reaching civilians?
Edit: nevermind I was looking at the article on my phone and it formatted something weird
Fletcher said five trucks of aid went into Gaza yesterday, but described this as a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for the population’s needs.
He said the aid lorries, which contain baby food and nutrition, are technically in Gaza but have not reached civilians as they are just on the other side of the border.

People are reading something into it that I didn’t intend, so I changed it. I’m not arguing about how other people use it or saying you are wrong.
It wasn’t intended to be either a slight or a compliment.
to be ‘middle’ in a world of greats is to be lame and worth very little
If you ain’t first, you’re last? Nah. That don’t make no sense.
OK. I’m not being hyperbolic.
Yeah, I agree.
Excuse me, I thought mid meant something along the lines of mediocre, not suck.
I’ll try not to let it happen again.
her comics are
midmediocre and you will catch a ban if you say that in r/comics
It’s bad and worse. People are so worried about keeping the worse party out of office that they refuse to criticize the bad party.
2·10 months agoBut the core is a bunch of people who have been convinced that sacrificing one less important interest will give them a big win in passionately held goal.
The core of the GOP didn’t want Trump.
The American right has, since the founding of the Republic, been bent on creating a system of hereditary aristocrats, who govern without “interference” from democratic institutions, so that their power to extract wealth from First Nations, working people, and the land itself is checked only by rivalries with other aristocrats.
I wonder if he thinks Chevron deference was a democratic institution.
He’s not pro-gun.
I just said that.
Neither is he anti-gun.
I’m not very convinced of that.
“It takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures I like taking the guns early like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida he had a lot of firearms and they saw everything to go to court would have taken a long, long time so you could exactly what you’re saying but take the guns first, go through due process second.” - Trump

I wouldn’t argue with that.
Why take a chance on Biden getting replaced with a good candidate?
The bump stock ban overturned by the Supreme Court was put in place by Trump. He is not pro-gun.
He is responsible for a lot of policies that resulted in the mass incarceration we have today.
Biden works with far-right Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond and the Reagan Administration to pass the Comprehensive Control Act. The law expands federal drug trafficking penalties and civil asset forfeiture, allowing police to seize a person’s property without proving them guilty of a crime. Two years later, Biden co-sponsors the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which creates new mandatory minimum sentences for drugs, including the notorious 100:1 sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. A conviction of possession of powder cocaine with intent to distribute carries a five-year sentence for 500 grams, while the same conviction for crack carries a five-year sentence for only 5 grams, so the harshest penalties are enacted on low-level drug sellers and impoverished drug users.
The controversial legislation known as the 1994 Crime Bill is Biden’s most significant contribution to the expansion of policing the drug war. The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, written by Biden, increases funds for police and prisons, fueling an expansion of the federal prison population. It also newly applies the federal death penalty to 60 crimes, including large-scale drug trafficking and drive-by-shootings resulting in death. Biden brags after the law passes that “the liberal wing of the Democratic Party” is now for “60 new death penalties,” “70 enhanced penalties,” “100,000 cops,” and “125,000 new state prison cells.”
What’s the felony charge for protesting called?
Students are turning in work they didn’t perform as their own? How novel!
