kind of hard to see a coalition very clearly walk away from basic human rights for a group of human beings and not wonder what groups in the coalition might be deemed expendable in the future

Remember when Obama decided to get “tough on immigration” in 2014 to win over voters in the center and his own staffers were like why did we do that, it won us zero votes and alienated some of our base? Reposting for no particular reason!

This was in 2015.

what's great is how multilayered a success this is. It won't win a single conservative voter and it greatly demoralizes a huge number of liberal voters, all while being morally indefensible and a treaty violation.

President Biden announced an executive order on Tuesday to essentially block asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, a major shift in how the U.S. has historically handled claims for protection. Here’s how it will work.

I for one am fully in favor of Catholics and right wing prots no longer pretending we are on the same side. This partnership has been bad for Catholics without also being good for the evangelicals.

This Fox News list of "America's Top Christian Colleges and Universities" is fascinating for many reasons, but maybe especially for the fact that it erases Catholicism from Christianity. i.e., schools like Georgetown and Notre Dame aren't mentioned at all.

Biden 2024: no genocide* *here

You are actively pushing this country into fascism with this bullshit. Actively working to get an outright authoritarian who wants to commit genocide *here* into the white house. Absolutely disgusting shit. You should be ashamed.

What he’s saying is that genocide is fine as long as it’s happening in Palestine not the US

Biden 2024: only one genocide

The deeply evil person here is the one who wants two genocides instead of one, and that person is you.

The maga thought process: All politicians lie. When normal politicians say they want to do good things, they are clearly lying. Ergo, when Trump says he wants to do bad things he must also be lying. There might be a flaw in their logic.

yes! i've seen this kind of thing as well. and the additionally frustrating thing is that these are people who will be the first to say that "all politicians are lying." they are incredibly cynical about politics except when it comes to donald trump.

This is true, but given that the Biden’s response to pressure so far has been more unconditional support for Israel, it’s incredibly bleak. The flour massacre is the most recent atrocity where Biden could draw a red line, cut off aid, and save face. There is clearly no red line and there won’t be.

basically the choice is between an incumbent who is pressured by a coalition that has become broadly sympathetic to the palestinians and an incumbent who is pressured by a coalition that wants to obliterate them www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NEW: "Starbucks has affirmatively agreed to bargaining with workers & their representatives to craft a master contract that applies to all unionized outlets, to be augmented by add-on contracts dealing with issues specific to particular outlets."

Starbucks Stops Opposing its Baristas’ Unionprospect.org In a historic breakthrough, Starbucks and its workers announce they’ve come together.

It remains very bleak that the underling assumption of every claim that you should vote for Biden despite his ongoing support of genocide is that he’s going to keep doing it. If this goes to November the death toll from disease and starvation will be incredibly high.

Palestinians are so mad at Biden they want to put America’s Bibi back in power. Great. Wonderful.

Annual president rankings are so dumb. Other than Lincoln and fdr, there are zero presidents where the good outweighs the bad. William Henry Harrison gets an honorable mention for dying.
