Trust me, no other cultures saw those messages and thought about the incompetent opsec. They saw how Americans slay with accompanying emojis and not a single mention of the indiscriminate collateral human lives. Not as if they are concerned even about the optics. Just no mention. Not internal. Not external. Nothing. The human rights considerations are not evaded or even acknowledged. The conventions of war, even what the other nations might say, nothing. Operating anywhere in the world with emoticon decorated executions. It is notable for the rest of the world. This is the extent of the mercy of the few. Those that decide who lives. That the native opposition's persecution and domestic news coverage is exclusively over how it was leaked.. It is not something you can ignore when it can be you at any moment. And soon, Americans themselves will piece by piece learn that it could be them too. That fear means control. To be subject to this arrogance towards life will hopefully get a few of the sofa. God bless her and him that dare, the world is watching you hang in the balance. The well-being of your children and loved ones comes to question and at that point some of us will be forever immortalised, either for feeding or defying the wolves of this eerily completely broadcasted fascist cycle.

"Well, when you say 'working'—are they stopping the Houthis? No," Biden said in response to a reporter's question. "Are they gonna continue? Yes."

Brace for impact, folks, because there isn’t one.

Feels like half of Lemmy was simping for Warren Buffet's son last week.

Glad to hear that you aren't one of them. Billionaires are all bastards.

For other parties to spring up, we need to get ballot initiatives going in every state to move away from First Past the Post voting. This only requires getting enough signatures for a ballot initiative in about half of the states, for the other half, writing to your representatives and senators can make a difference. It’s not a fruitless effort either as Alaska and Maine both have managed to move away from First Past the Post voting, which is the main limiting factor preventing other political parties from springing up.

Ranked robin voting, STAR voting, score voting, and even Ranked Choice voting are better than First Past the Post for allowing better representation.

Probably because the messages didn't contain any information about the targets??

I beg your pardon? they were openly talking about how they were going to bomb a whole apartment building to get one guy. screenshots and everything.

And last I checked, bombing apartment buildings is a war crime

why would they, %90 of democrats also think that Israel is just conducting military operations against terrorists and not mass slaughtering civilians or destroying civil areas as a part of their genocide and ethnic cleansing plan
