I'm not gonna trust an "electronic member poll" or "research phone poll" but whatever. Did they release the number of repsonses?

Once inside, Harris hugged and comforted a crying customer, telling the older woman that, “We’re going to be fine. We’re all in this together.”

Harris’ X/Twitter account then posted, “I look forward to using my new seasonings from Penzeys Spices in Pittsburgh at our next Sunday family dinner.”

The United States is a country stalin-bummed

It's so weird how common these politicians stopping at random botique businesses that declare allegiance to political parties has become. It feels like some kind of ancient Roman or Greek patron type thing. Which is essentially how politics works.

half that and half it being a super waste of time and money to make their web UI work well on small screens on mobile browsers which already don't work very well in general (and the web doesn't in general either).

The reddit app is still better than every single lemmy frontend

That's why you're supposed to use the app...

red. is an absolutely terrible name for any organization anyways. Completely unsearchable, they practically censored themselves.

African Stream has an RSS feed and telegram account. https://africanstream.media/feed/
You should be able to just put africanstream.media into your RSS reader and it will locate the /feed endpoint from the html head element.

Looks like his defenses were pretty sharp.

Especially for someone his age...

If you HAD to choose (but you can also not choose).

 

Looks like that one place in Greece probably doesn't have an exceptionally good life expectancy.

You can skip past the parts with the CGTN correspondent. They copy western reporter style way too much lol. Basically the newer prime minister/government in the Solomon Islands is continuing it's cooperation with China. And the usual "mutual respect/win-win cooperation" language that countries use when talking about relations with China and vice versa.

 

Yet in the hours before Salaam spoke at the convention, many Americans were learning for the first time that the DNC had removed its goal of ending capital punishment from its official platform. The issue had previously been enshrined in the party platform for years, with the language in 2016 especially robust: “We will abolish the death penalty, which has proven to be a cruel and unusual form of punishment,” it read. “It has no place in the United States of America.”

 

Thought this was interesting because the video is from CCTV.

Henry Clay Dennison

(Prefers Socialist Workers Party)

(206) 323-1755

swpcampaignwa@gmail.com

www.themilitant.com

Elected Experience: No information submitted.

Other Professional Experience: Henry Dennison is a railroad conductor and SMART-TD union member.

Education: Dennison learned to have deep confidence in the solidarity and fighting capacity of the working class from the Black- led movement that defeated Jim Crow segregation, and through five decades of work in fruit packing plants, coal mines, railroads, steel mills and other industries.

Community Service: He has recently taken part in solidarity with farm workers, miners, auto workers, flight attendants and firefighters, among others, and joined actions against anti-Jewish attacks, in support of Ukraine’s independence, against the US embargo of Cuba, and in solidarity with immigrant workers.

Statement: We live in a deeply class-divided country ruled by a handful of billionaire families and their government. Democratic and Republican parties say they speak for workers, but millions increasingly recognize this isn’t true.

The global order the US rulers dominated after World War II is coming apart. The economic workings of capitalism are marching the world towards World War III, accelerated by Vladimir Putin’s murderous invasion of Ukraine to deny its national rights, and Hamas’ October 7 pogrom – orchestrated by the counterrevolutionary rulers of Iran – that slaughtered over 1,200 Jews in Israel. Only the working class has the capacity to halt this trajectory.

Driven by competition inherent in capitalism, corporations continue to pursue more production from fewer workers for less pay. But recent union organizing and strike victories point to the possibility of a different future. The low point of labor resistance is behind us. Working people need to build a labor party that breaks from all collaboration with the ruling class and wages a struggle for workers’ power.

Defending constitutional freedoms won in the first American Revolution is a working-class issue. Attempts to jail and silence Donald Trump and criminalize political differences deal a blow to rights working people need. Drop all the charges! Defend Israel’s right to exist as a refuge for Jews in the face of rising Jew-hatred today! Join efforts to defend Jews from attack! Workers need to fight for a public works program to put millions to work at union scale wages building roads, schools, parks, hospitals and more; for regular cost of living increases, wages sufficient to raise a family and quality housing workers can afford; and for workers control of production to guarantee safety on the job and reverse the profit-driven destruction of the environment.
