Even if Roe is struck down, Congress could pass a law giving every American woman the right to choose. Just because the Supreme Court decides it's not a right found in the Constitution doesn't mean a law couldn't be passed enshrining it.

Ukraine’s government was installed in a US-backed fascist coup in 2014 and the government is militarily held in check by fascist militias. Ukraine is not a democracy just because it is a US ally
I see people on the left I respect blaming the US for stoking another Cold War. Look, an undemocratic nation invading a democratic nation that has done nothing at all to threaten it is both wrong and dangerous. Put your skepticism aside long enough to acknowledge that.

78 years ago, Jewish socialists began the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in an attempt to stop transportations to the death camps. They knew that it was doomed to fail; they were greatly outnumbered, starved, and walled into a fascist ghetto. But they chose to fight anyway.

I’m so fucking tired of the cynical appropriation of our history. Our past oppression does not make us currently oppressed. Our past genocide does not excuse Israel’s current genocide. The memories of the holocaust, of the pogroms, of life in the pale, mean never again FOR ANYONE
October 7, a sacred Jewish holiday, became the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
It has brought to the surface painful memories and scars left by a millennia of antisemitism and genocide of the Jewish people.
