The Houthi shipping blockade is explicitly in defense of Gaza.

The genocide must flow

The main takeaway is that Google uses Chrome to collect data on what search results people click on and how long they spend on those pages. They then use that data to rank search results.

He’s alienated the young people who could make up for his own lack of charisma with youthful energy, and he can’t even campaign properly because he gets protested every time he shows his face. He’s toast.

For just $320 million what do you expect? If only Gaza weren’t surrounded by water on all sides. Then we could just truck aid in.

It’s not very typical, I’d like to make that clear.

In practice, I suspect the most important factor in eliminating child labor will actually be simply shrinking extreme poverty.

Let’s start at home.

I agree that this another reason we need vigorous antitrust enforcement.

Ah, but I do:

22 U.S. Code § 2378d

(a)In general

No assistance shall be furnished under this chapter or the Arms Export Control Act [22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.] to any unit of the security forces of a foreign country if the Secretary of State has credible information that such unit has committed a gross violation of human rights.

And now you do, too.

It’s not a trivial problem, but I don’t think it’s insurmountable for the multinational corporations that actually care. If journalists can uncover this kind of thing without any inside information, corporations can do it too. And if consumers care enough, the corporations will care.

Here’s a toolkit from the US Department of Labor:

Child and forced labor in supply chains present serious and material risks to companies and industries. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Comply Chain tool helps companies mitigate these risks by building or improving worker-driven social compliance systems, which empower workers to play a central role in identifying and addressing labor rights violations and other concerns within their workplaces.

And lots of people join, get messed up, and then are denied proper healthcare by the underfunded VA system.

But even if the military was great for the people enlisting, it wouldn’t change the fact that they are joining one of the most rapacious, lawless, and brutal militaries in the world.

In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgment or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. [wikipedia]

You seem to be malfunctioning. Your just mindlessly repeating worn out, discredited talking points

US law is not to give weapons to countries that are using them to violate human rights.

L’Oreal and Estee Lauder are also targets of the BDS boycott to support Palestinians. The No Thanks app (iOS, Android) is a convenient way to check products while you shop.

Not with that attitude. I’m kidding, but not totally. Consumers and voters need to demand better. Fatalism helps no one.

I initially misread it, too

Charles Littlejohn is a hero

I believe the original comment about anti-semitic gaslighting was targeted at Zionists and was not a snarky comeback to your meme.

Oh my bad, soldiers and police trying to protect concertgoers from getting slaughtered wholesale at a music festival are fair game. Do you hear yourself?

You should pay more attention to the history of the thread you’re commenting in.
