How on earth is this breaking news?

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Breaking News: The Israeli military said two soldiers are dead after Palestinian gunmen opened fire in the West Bank. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened a major offensive in a neighborhood of Hebron, where he said the attackers had come from.

The way Turning Point have given support to a proscribed organisation is actually way more illegal than most of the recent arrests under terror laws

Tom Usher@tomusher.bsky.social

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

Historically speaking rioting isn't the output of a particularly disruptive left so much as people see no other means of protecting their families and neighbourhoods from an increasingly authoritarian state than open violent conflict. Everyone who's ever studied rioting knows this.

The people who keep repeating that Le Pen will win because of the protests are forgetting Le Pen has been on track to win for more than a year. So unless the protestors invented time travel this is an absurd position. Further the many protest movements around the world have not helped the Far Right.

some of you need to stop following this dumb motherfucker

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li@sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com

it is, quite famously, as a matter of explicit communist policy, the fact that the communist left refused to compromise with the social democrats (look up "social fascism") that allowed the *right* the space to bring hitler into power like this is all just straightforward lies

Americans are mostly unable to understand the history of communism. Their minds are too steeped in propaganda.

conversely when Stalin was briefly allied with Hitler he didn’t even try to get Ernst Thallman out of Nazi prison. instead he murdered most of the KPD members who did escape to the USSR

Americans love paying for healthcare They can't help it Look at this slathering corpo Desperate to hemorrhage wealth into the sucking maw of The System

That said, it's interesting from a UX perspective that this story is basically "I received $500k in services and was billed 6% of the claim and I am Very Upset."

Girl you are describing the Labour party

Frances Ryan@francesryan.bsky.social

As someone who’s written about this for 15 years, including a book on the impact of the Tories on disabled people, I’m baffled at how you can think this government is more right wing than the bigoted austerity lovers who destroyed the public realm. Labour are often wildly shit. But it’s relative!
