"A Child’s View from Gaza" was an art exhibition showcasing drawings created by the children of Gaza.
"The captioned illustrations were created by Palestinian children who lived through the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in 2008-09. The pictures were drawn as part of an effort to help children deal with the horrors they had experienced. A Bay Area nonprofit, Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA), arranged to display a collection of these pictures at the Museum of Children’s Art in Oakland, California. However, under pressure from the Jewish Federation of the East Bay and other organizations, the museum backed out of the agreement at the last minute."
Sometimes i feel like younger queer kids are getting a bit to bold with openly talking to people they don’t know In The Context Of:
More than once i have had a younger/same age queer person come up to me in public settings and say something about “finding other gays” or clearly clocking me as nonbinary and I’m like :)))))))) hey buddy I’m here with my conservative parents can you fucking not out me :))))))))
Just say you like my outfit or hair and move on, fuck even tell me you like my shoelaces. Don’t call me gay and limp your wrist at me when you don’t even know me? Especially when there’s a bunch of ppl around?
> “The world is falling apart under Biden,” said Spencer Weiss, a 53-year-old electrical substation specialist in Bloomsburg, Pa., who supported Mr. Biden in 2020 but is now backing Mr. Trump, albeit with some reservations. “I would much rather see somebody that I feel can be a positive role-model leader for the country. But at least I think Trump has his wits about him.”
God this is depressing. Feeling compelled to vote for Donald Fucking Trump of all people, a coked-up pussy-grabbing buffoon who's been impeached twice and is currently facing felony charges, because at least he doesn't look like he wandered out of the dementia ward. The deciding issue for Leader Of The Free World is whether they belong in a shut-up-and-eat home.
> nearly twice as many voters said economic issues would determine their 2024 vote compared with social issues, such as abortion or guns. And those economic voters favored Mr. Trump by a landslide 60 percent to 32 percent. The findings come after Mr. Biden’s campaign has run millions of dollars in ads promoting his record, and as the president continues to tour the country to brag about the state of the economy. “Folks, Bidenomics is just another way of saying the American dream!” Mr. Biden declared on Wednesday on a trip to Minnesota. Voters clearly disagree. Only 2 percent of voters said the economy was excellent.
It reminds me of the Hillary campaign all over again. Being completely blind to economic issues, insisting everything is fine when people clearly don't believe that, being so self-assured in your victory that you don't bring anything to the table other than not being the other guy. The Republicans offer the wrong solutions, but the Democrats offer no solutions at all.
> That said, Mr. Trump will be more in the spotlight in 2024, including his criminal trials, a growing presence that could remind voters why they were repelled by him in the first place.
This is how the article ends. That same damned cocksure progressive-liberal smugness, that all they need to do is not be Trump, and that sooner or later you'll realise their innate superiority. The American voter doesn't need reminders. All the media has been doing since 2015 is reminding the American voter of how repulsive Trump is. That's honestly part of why people vote for him, resentment more than anything. Because the democrats just lord their superiority over you from their ivory tower and scoff at you for expecting something more than the privilege of gazing upon its majesty. The American voter seems resigned to the idea that voting won't make their lot better, so all it's good for is wiping that lofty grin off of the liberal's face.
It should be clearer than ever before that electoralism is a blind alley. The US government is the bourgeois dictatorship of bourgeois dictatorships. To anyone still in America I would recommend joining a union, a tenant's union, a socialist political organisation (I'm not too familiar with socialist orgs specific to the US but Freedom Socialist Party seems like the best one), the SRA/John Brown Gun Club, anything to get some fellow working-class comrades to have your back. And read Marx, of course, because understanding the mess we are in is the first step to getting out of it. Nobody is coming to save you. You must save yourself.
