"If you were waiting for Democrats to capitulate on the issue they claimed during #Trump’s last term was dearest to their heart, his hostility to #immigrants, you didn’t have to wait long. A bill called The #LakenRileyAct is zipping through #USCongress, already approved in the House and moving quickly in the Senate."

The left didn't vote for Trump.
The left has never been in power in the USA.
The left isn't the problem and never has been.
I swear if Democrats fought the fascists as hard as they fight people who want universal health care, we wouldn't have had a Republican president since Nixon.

More than 600 constituents of Jared Huffman and Mike Thompson have signed on as plaintiffs in a class action suit, accusing them of aiding Israel's genocide "in violation of international and federal law".
Like many Democrats, Huffman and Thompson pride themselves in standing up against the contempt for facts that Donald #Trump and cohorts flaunt. Yet refusal to acknowledge the facts of civilian decimation in Gaza is an extreme form of denial.
Whatever the outcome, this lawsuit conveys the widespread anger and anguish about the ongoing carnage, bankrolled by the #US taxpayer.
Its time Congress feels the heat!

![The Problem with "Both Sides Are Bad" Narratives in Western Leftist Discourse
In conversations about global politics, particularly within Western leftist circles, there is a recurring tendency to critique US imperialism while simultaneously asserting that the countries resisting this imperialism are “also bad.” This often takes the form of a superficial moralizing stance: "Just because the US is bad doesn’t mean [insert country targeted by the US] isn’t also bad. There can be more than one bad guy!" While this might sound even-handed, it is an intellectually lazy and politically dangerous position that ultimately serves US hegemonic interests. A break down why this approach is flawed and counterproductive.
1. The Global Playing Field is Not Equal
I wrote this before, but it is crucial to understand that politics does not happen in a vacuum. Countries do not exist on an equal playing field. US imperialism is not just another actor in global affairs, it is the dominant force shaping the conditions under which all other nations operate. For over a century, the US and its Western allies have maintained a global capitalist system that subjugates countries in the Global South, forcing their hand: either submit to US hegemony as pliant "assets" or face relentless economic warfare, military aggression, and destabilization campaigns as "enemies."
When other nations commit human rights violations or take actions deemed "authoritarian," these actions do not occur in isolation but within a global framework shaped by US interventionism. Often, these nations are responding to existential threats posed by Western-backed reactionaries, sanctions, funded oppositions or military aggression. To equate their actions with those of the US, the architect of this global order, is both ahistorical and morally disingenuous.](https://friendica-leipzig.de/photo/preview/600/355766 "The Problem with \"Both Sides Are Bad\" Narratives in Western Leftist Discourse

"Democrats need to organize their future politics around the simple reality that the establishment media is structural hostile to the Democratic Party. This doesn’t mean every journalist individually, of course. But the establishment media generally — the Times, the Post, the Journal, CNN and the business news channels, all of them…."
