Largest American Union Issues Statement Supporting Pro-Palestine Protestors
United Auto Workers' Leader Shawn Fain:
"The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice.
Our union has been calling for a ceasefire for six months. This war is wrong, and this response against students and academic workers, many of them UAW members, is wrong.
We call on the powers that be to release the students and employees who have been arrested, and if you can’t take the outcry, stop supporting this war."

In 2020 we saw mass hysteria of well educated people seeing racism in everything — chess, drinking milk, the ok hand sign, punctuality. This year in 2024 it’s the exact same if not worse with people fabricating antisemitism en masse in order to shut down criticism of Israel.
@MurkyCaviarRepublican2wks2W
When people chant, “from the river to the sea”, what is it, if not antisemitism?
@PieSarahWorking Family2wks2W
That they want a one state solution and the right of return for millions of displaced people…
@DearLeftLaneLibertarian2wks2W
It was a clever if dirty rhetorical trick. They now go it’s the JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL. That’s what gets brought up whenever you ask why a country with a lower inflation rate than the U.S. should get free money.
@DeterminedMandat3Green2wks2W
Rescind your Biden endorsement
@T4riffBoaDemocrat2wks2W
U think Biden is bad? Reelect trump and kiss the constitution good bye
Prove it, take back your endorsement of Biden who’s giving the green light to all these things you claim to oppose
Righteous, brother Shawn Fain. You have brought solidarity back to the US labor movement and are fighting to win.
Worth reconsidering your blank check endorsement of GenocideJoe who has guaranteed not only impunity for apartheid israel, but claimed the students are 'hateful'

U.K. Deporting Immigrants To Rwanda
British authorities have started to detain migrants in preparation for them to be sent to Rwanda in the next nine to 11 weeks, the government said on Wednesday, laying the groundwork for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's flagship immigration policy.
A law to pave the way for sending asylum seekers to Rwanda if they arrived in Britain without permission was approved by parliament in April, and Sunak wants the first flights to take off in July.
More than 7,500 migrants have arrived in England on small boats from France so far this year, and the government says the policy will deter people from… Read more

How would you feel if your family had to be sent to another country without your consent because of where you were born?
@9M2373W2wks2W
I would be outraged, US and European immigration laws are much too strong, America is known for being the mixing pot of ethnicities, but they take YEARS to let them become citizens.
@9M22YB72wks2W
It depends. I may feel strongly about it if my family had done nothing wrong and was contributing to that country's society.
@9M22W2GRepublican2wks2W
I ain't leaving the U.S. and all of these people coming in illegally should be sent back to there homes they don't deserve to be here and using our tax money to live a care free life
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
How would your perspective change if you or someone close to you were facing deportation under similar circumstances?
So not really a deterrent then. If you don't get to stay in England don't worry because you still get £3k and a five year package to live elsewhere. Sounds more like a migrant magnet.
@LeftLeaningMiaDemocrat2wks2W
If this does work then Nigel needs to admit this. But come on surely you can't be happy with them being paid plus 5 years of assistants. I feel that we are going to be the lossers in one way or another.

New York City Mayor Suggests College Protests Have An ‘International Connection.’
Eric Adams suggested on MSNBC the Columbia protests may have an "international" connection: "I don't know if they're international, I think we need to look into that as well, but there's an attempt to radicalize young people in this country."
He didn't say what he's basing this on.
On CBS, Adams again declines to identify the "outside" individuals or groups he says participated in the Columbia protests. He does say: "It's not singular, it's plural, several organizations and groups, I want to be clear on that, we did not take this action lightly."
Imagine if pro-Palestine protestors physically assaulted Jewish students in the same exact way that pro-Israel protestors attacked the students at UCLA last night? The national guard and every cop in California would come down on them. They'd be called terrorists by everyone in media and peace protests all across the country would be shut down. And every objective person knows this is true.
So, will LA do anything about the violent thugs who attacked those students last night or is their lawlessness in America now, where if you are on Israel's side, you can just commit violence on anyone you like?
@L1beralLouDemocrat2wks2W
Pro-Israel protestors wouldn't bar students from entering campus.
@LeftLeaningClaireGreen2wks2W
Eric Adams, like almost every corporate politician in the US, has an israeli connection international connection of his own
@ClamFrankWorking Family2wks2W
If every American isn’t pro-Israel and pro-Jewish control over our lives & pro- “Muslims are terrorists” then we’re being radicalized?
Let’s check all these pro-Israeli advocate’s bank accounts and let’s see some radicalization.
@XenialImpalaSocialist2wks2W
Yes, it's called the international community being appalled by the genocide happening in Palestine.
@9M274ZJ2wks2W
The people protesting are connected through internet, they see what everyone sees and isn't afraid to speak upon it

China Crosses Biden's Red Line On Ukraine
President Biden warned China two years ago not to provide “material support” for Russia’s war in Ukraine. On Friday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken conceded that Xi Jinping ignored that warning. China, Mr. Blinken said, was “overwhelmingly the No. 1 supplier” of Russia’s military industrial base, with the “material effect” of having fundamentally changed the course of the war. Whatever Mr. Biden chooses to do next will be momentous for global security and stability.
Mr. Biden can either enforce his red line through sanctions or other means,… Read more
If you cannot scare the Taliban, Syria or Iran, you are certainly not going to frighten Xi or Putin. Both consider the U.S. and Europe to be Paper Tigers who do little more than talk.
@L1b3rtyMonkeyPatriot2wks2W
Well, trying to scare the alliance between the biggest country and the most populous country in the world isn’t going to work.
@LeftLanePaisleyPatriot2wks2W
Puppets don't have the brains to know what a red line is. Xi knows he is dealing with a puppet and can do anything he wants.
Xi is only talking to Blinken because he knows it’s important to Biden’s reelection.
The announced “Friends without Limits” was a geopolitical test which Biden and Blinken failed miserably. China was gauging the reaction - knowing how Trump would have immediately said “want to bet?” as he did with China and Iranian oil. With only silence in response from Biden, Russia went forward knowing it could rely on China backstopping the entire Russian economy.
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
How do you feel knowing countries can influence war outcomes by supporting one side, and what should be done about it?
There's not much to do about it. This is how world politics has worked as long as there has been politics.
@9M24LVK2wks2W
It seems fairly obvious that powerful countries can determine the outcome of a war so they should just choose the side they support
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
Considering past consequences, how important is it for nations to stand firm on their warnings to others, and what should be the limit of compromise?
@9M28RKT 2wks2W
If China wants to test the US they can go ahead. While I think war is entirely unnecessary and that our leaders should be able to come to agreements like the civilized adults we elected them to be, if China thinks they can disrespect the US's clear boundaries then they better think again, we have the highest funded and the best military in the world, not to mention we are part of the NATO alliance and China isn't so if we go to war with China they are going to war against all of the countries in NATO.
@9M27YYL2wks2W
I think he is just letting country's walk all over us.

Arizona Senate Will Vote On Abortion Ban Appeal
The Arizona Senate is expected to vote on Wednesday on a measure to repeal the state's 1864 ban on abortion, which could go into effect within weeks if not struck down.
The Arizona House last week passed the measure after a handful of Republicans broke party ranks and voted with Democrats to send it to the Senate. The bill appears to have enough support to pass the upper chamber, even with Republicans holding a slim 16-14 majority.
If passed, the measure could immediately be sent to Governor Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, who has said she will sign it.

@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
If the decision on abortion rights were solely up to you, how would you balance individual freedom with ethical concerns?
@9M276CV2wks2W
I think to have rights and to make reasonable choices for your own benefits is obviously a better alternative than taking away peoples opportunities and basic human rights due to insufficient knowledge, money, materials, health and more being a conflict between them and the choice of having a child.
@9M27PP3Republican2wks2W
Certainly, ensuring that individuals have the rights and resources to make informed choices about their lives, including the decision to have children, is essential for promoting autonomy and well-being. Denying people the opportunity to exercise their reproductive rights due to factors like lack of knowledge, financial means, access to healthcare, or other resources can result in profound injustices and limit individuals' ability to lead fulfilling lives.
@9M26PHB2wks2W
I would give them both an equal amount of attention and effort to see how it will all play out in the end.
@9M26GT62wks2W
you could balance between the personal freedom to decide what is right and societal influence.
@9M26F4M2wks2W
I would say if the parents feel like they won't be able to take care of the child and they want to have an abortion than they should for the child safety.
@9M29ZFFConstitution2wks2W
"For child safety" is the most ridiculously asinine response as a reason to justify killing the child. Only a living brain donor could call that logical.
@ISIDEWITH2wks2W
In your opinion, should states have the power to control access to medical treatments, or should there be a nationwide standard?
@9M26GT62wks2W
It should be the states oprtion to control abortion laws and rules.
@9M26C4Q2wks2W
I think it could be argued that Abortion is not even a medical treatment so this question doesn't apply.
