Another reddit.world community got mad at me for saying "death to US" and now I'm banned. That's fine! But why can't I block them now? I am forced to see their posts every time I go to /all and can't comment or vote, so am effectively forced to view content without any ability to interact.

I don't want to see their posts and should be able to block them from my /all feed

Here look! When I'm not banned there's a clear option to block the community:

But after being banned I now can't block the community, I'm forced to keep seeing it in my feed!

SOLVED: From the user settings page there is a tab for Blocks next to the tab for Settings, and you can manually search for the community you wish to block in a search bar. That worked, even if the UI on the community page was messed up by the block message.

And here they are ready for action

And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.

Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

• Killing members of the group;
• Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
• Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
• Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
• Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

Clear enough, right?

Under this definition Israel's occupation and war of extermination is absolutely genocide, unquestionably. The goal is to kill, mutilate, and displace the Palestinian people. The goal is the total ethnic cleansing of Gaza, by any means necessary. Israel's war on Gaza is genocide.

However, under this definition are the completely justified goals of Hamas also genocide? They intend to destroy the settler-colonial monstrosity that is Zionism and eradicate the nation state of Israel; Palestine from the river to the sea. That, technically, means they are committed with intent to destroy the national group of Israelis by displacement, death, or simply making them into Palestinians after destroying Israel's government.

That doesn't seem right to me. I am absolutely in solidarity with Hamas and Palestine in their struggle against the Zionist entity. An occupied people destroying their occupier's government and settler identity can't be considered genocide, because it creates this legal and ethical equivalency with the settlers.

And yet, technically, that seems to be the case. Am I wrong?

And, by pointing out this technicality, am I just a dog for Zionism?

I want to read you two recent headlines from New York magazine. They were written within a week of each other. The first is “A.O.C. Is Just a Regular Old Democrat Now,” and that accuses you of compromising on your progressive ideals as you work within the party system. And then came the rebuttal, which was “The ‘A.O.C. Left’ Has Achieved Plenty,” which argued that your wing has pushed the party leftward. Why do you think your role is still being parsed this way by Democrats and by those on the left?

Part of it is because we haven’t really had a political presence like this in the United States before. I think very often you had this consummate insider that was bankrolled by corporate money and advancing this, frankly, very neoliberal agenda. And those were the people that we were used to seeing in power. And so I think over time there’s been an inherent association between power, ascent and quote-unquote selling out.

I often say to my grass-roots companions that the left, for a very long time, was not used to having power in the United States. And so when we encounter power, we’re so bewildered by it —

Yes, the reason we are suspicious of you is because we're too fucking stupid to understand. Thank you boss queen!!!

Moving your ideas internationally, even if they might conflict with the foreign policy of the leader of your own party?

I wouldn’t necessarily characterize my foreign policy goals as oppositional to the president’s or to the United States. I am a member of Congress. I have sworn an oath to this country, and I take that oath very seriously.

That says it all, doesn't it?

Do you feel more comfortable in the Democratic Party now? The way you described it initially was fraught. They rejected you, and you were definitely trying to change the party. You have said you’ve pushed the party leftward. Many would agree. So is it OK to be a regular Democrat now?

The activist in me always seeks to agitate for more. I think despite there being progress, many people are still woefully underserved in this country. But the Democratic Party has changed dramatically in the last five years. Even if you just look at the numbers, I believe it’s something around 50 percent of House Democrats have been elected since 2018. And so what is considered center and moderate now is dramatically different than what it was five years ago.

No no wait, that says it all.

Being center and moderate is good now folks!

Do you get it now?

The law doesn't apply to them.

Most of the incident was captured on video from multiple angles. Rather than argue that he didn't do it, Huston's defense is arguing that he had the right to drive through the protestors because his traffic light was green.

In the videos shown in court, many of which haven't been seen before, Huston's truck appears to approach a car at the light. When the light turned green, the truck is seen swerving around the car and comes up to the protestors who are crossing, before stopping when it collided with a pedestrian.

It's truly amazing what motorists think they can get away with.

The mention that this is happening because of actions of creditors made me look up wtf they're talking about.

Y'all? It's not good

Preston Hollow Community Capital, a specialty finance company that claims Mercy is in “a financial freefall,” wants a district court judge to appoint a receiver who will take control of the hospital’s assets. Preston Hollow claims the 234-bed, acute care hospital is incurring “unsustainable financial losses” and argues that a receiver is needed to avoid a shutdown of the hospital.

Mercy is now seeking dismissal of Preston Hollow’s petition for receivership, calling it a “pretextual power play by an investment fund that puts the medical team, employees, patients and larger community at risk.”

In new court filings, Mercy argues that Preston Hollow’s legal action was triggered by the Mercy board of directors’ refusal to go along with the finance company’s “aggressive and improper demands to abruptly change management.”

American healthcare everybody!

Abolish the border.

I'm not out to my parents as non-binary (they would reject it most possibly). I want to come out at school to all new teachers, that way i can just slowly come out. this law would be a disaster to any of my plans, which is why I find it scary to imagine me in Iowa.I'm not out to my parents as non-binary (they would reject it most possibly).

If "First, do no harm" is a principle in caring professions, Iowa elected officials are demanding adults cause harm to vulnerable kids in schools, and teachers have an obligation to resist policies whose purpose is to inflict cruelty. In fact, we know that using chosen names can literally be life-saving for transgender kids, as being able to use chosen names is directly linked to a decrease in depression and suicide. As a basic human courtesy, it’s the bare minimum, costs us nothing, yet can mean everything.

I like Bleeding Heartland, but one criticism I have is how they don't actually ascribe motives to fascists. They still try to maintain this bizarre appearance of """neutrality""" by just presenting the facts and not actually examining our enemies.

The entire point is to harm queer children. They want us to commit suicide before we're old enough to vote against them or spread our deviant ideas to other children. They want to increase depression and suicide. "The cruelty is the point" is trite, they're not just meanies that want to hurt us.

They're fascists. This is social Darwinism.

I can't tell you how happy I am that this criminal is going to win the primary and drag this election cycle straight into hell lol

Gotta love the People's Republic of Johnson County
