  • Did the Black Panthers break into state and federal congresses and force everyone to comply with equal rights? No. No they fucking didn’t. What happened was people stood in solidarity with men like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the US Congress signed a bipartisan Civil Rights Act which was then signed into law by POTUS Lyndon B. Johnson.

    US Law Enforcement was constantly hounding at Dr. King and the Black Panthers and every other group, the FBI and the CIA wanted open warfare against them and were preparing countless strategies for it, but sanity prevailed when we achieved a fair and democratic resolution. (well, the FBI and Black Panthers continued to feud for decades, but besides the point)

    The intimidation tactics of the Black Panthers didn’t accomplish jack shit.


  • I agree that it was bad when Biden sold weapons to Israel using the less common route, the Determination of an Emergency: wherein the delay of military equipment by a congressional review would lead to unnecessary losses.

    Biden also withheld larger ordinances such as bombs dropped by planes, as he was concerned Netanyahu might use them on Rafah such as he did after Trump took power and bragged about completing that delayed shipment on Twitter.

    But that was also predated by congress approving weapons sales to Israel on many occasions. It’s nothing compared to Trump waging war on civilians of a random country with no history of direct hostility.
