Don't need to wait to study the history of genocide, it happened again a few days ago... 11 children in a playground.

Horrible, but not a genocide. Still, really really horrible and those that call them freedom fighters are delusional

I see that my boy Bernie Sanders boycotted his speech, a true Mensch. Is there a list of everyone who showed up and clapped? I know people are ragging on john fetterman for wearing a suit, but he's actually just abiding by new senate rules that enforces a dress code. I'm more upset that he showed up and fucking clapped for this war criminal. But who else? Do we have a list?

Rashida Tlaib held up a sign saying Bibi was guilty of genocide.

It's a shorter list of those who didn't clap...all the Rs clapped some of the Ds may not have.

Eight comments atm, per lemmy dashboard. I have all of them blocked apparently, as it shows as “blank”.

I often see this happen, where a post says there are several comments but there are none when I click through, and I very seldom block users so there must be another cause.

I would guess that it's an activity pub thing where the comments haven't actually synched to your instance yet
