Sudan. Cory Booker did it recently when being pressed on Israel and their genocide on the I Had It Podcast. He implied that the reason people care about the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians over what's happening in the Sudan is that the ICC and the media are antisemitic.
I mean look at this tweet:
People who have this kind of smoke for israel were silenced by both the Biden and Trump administration.
I hope he can get his policy objectives done. If he has any amount of intervention from the feds, it'll be an incredibly radicalizing moment for the people who voted for him.
The real solution is to build a working class party. The Democrats won't ever be that, which is clear. Mamdani shows us people understand their own hardships and will support someone who shows they understand them too. However the DNC isn't a democratic institution so good luck reforming it.
I think Mamdani could have won this without being on the Democratic ticket. But by being on the ticket he exposes how hostile the party is to him and his politics.
Which is why we should be building a working class party. Addressing peoples material needs works.
I don't speak Chinese so it would be hard for me to know if they release that information or not. I imagine they would release that information in Chinese.
This was always going to be their goal. However, there has been a lot of organizing happening at these events that are to the left of Democrats. Some of the events were even run by groups like the PSL. The official organizers are likely very disconnected from the masses in ways the boots in the ground organizers are not.
From the article:
The Ford-Class aircraft carrier is the most advanced in the US fleet, and have deployed EM catapults for over a decade. It’s also been a decade since the F35 was introduced. But the US Navy still cannot use the two together—the F35 is launched with the steam system. We’ve had lots of problems with the electromagnetic launch systems.
The Navy had hoped to replace steam with the EMALS, but they have suffered from major technical problems, and have high failure rates. Engineers have trouble locating the source of the problems during flight operations, and so cannot make repairs quickly. During combat operations, when margin for error goes to zero, the system cannot be used at all.
The design was fatally flawed from the beginning, based on the design itself. The catapults are not independently powered, so if our crews have a problem in one catapult it cannot be switched off so repairs can be made. Add to that a failure rate of 1 in 400, which is ten times worse than what the contract called for.
By comparison, the catapult system on the Fujian is powered differently, and so the failure rate is just a small fraction of what is on the Ford-class carriers. The US Navy EM catapults are overly complex, and a single point of failure shuts down the whole system. This means that our carriers have an unfixable problem. The US Navy is stuck with steam, in other words.
So this is not about the EM Catapult concept, but in its refined execution of the concept.
Test comment!
Sounds about right. Keep an eye out for Gabriel Bell.
