The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

And just like that, Harris has lost a ton of votes.
For the Biden administration to barely acknowledge that American citizens were killed and taken hostage, and do nothing was bad enough, but for the idf to find an American recently killed in a tunnel under Rifah seems to be the last straw.
The amount of anger I’m seeing on twitter from people who had no bone in the Israel/hamas war is incredible all because the US did nothing to help get The US citizen back.
Biden did make a nice statement after he was identified though.

“Barely acknowledge” and “did nothing”?
 
US seizes Maduro's plane

According to the Department of Justice, a Dassault Falcon 900EX aircraft owned and operated for the benefit of Maduro and persons affiliated with him in Venezuela was seized in the Dominican Republic and transferred to Fort Lauderdale at the request of the United States based on violations of U.S. export control and sanctions laws.

In a statement by the DOJ, Attorney General Merrick Garland alleges the plane was "illegally purchased for $13 million through a shell company and smuggled out of the United States for use by Nicolás Maduro and his cronies."

“Let this seizure send a clear message: aircraft illegally acquired from the United States for the benefit of sanctioned Venezuelan officials cannot just fly off into the sunset,” said Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Matthew S. Axelrod of the Department of Commerce in the statement. “It doesn’t matter how fancy the private jet or how powerful the officials – we will work relentlessly with our partners here and across the globe to identify and return any aircraft illegally smuggled outside of the United States.”

$515,492 raised on moment where a group surrounded an American flag to prevent it being taken down again by protestors on campus has been designated for a huge Labor Day party. In the process, it's made those who took action appear as far-righters and major supporters of trump... not all those there are happy about this misuse of the money, preferring it had gone towards more humanitarian causes than a huge binge party benefitting no-one but a bunch of less altruistic students.

In interviews, several members of the U.N.C. chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi, a Jewish fraternity, said they were disappointed that the money raised on their behalf was paying for a party. They said they would rather that a significant portion of the money go to a charity that supports Jewish organizations or relief efforts in Gaza.

The “rager,” they said, felt callous given that it grew out of a painful moment for both Jews and Palestinians — all as the war in the Middle East continued.

“The use of our actions to promote a narrative that we were some right-wing, MAGA heroes has been a gross misrepresentation and a disservice to many of those who were actually there,” said Oliver Levine, a junior at the university and the president of its Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter.

Brooke Shields: Union boss :)

The storied Actors’ Equity Association union, representing 51,000 stage actors and managers from Broadway to San Francisco
It may seem surprising that the model and actress would step up to take on such a demanding unpaid position. Indeed, Shields won the union’s highest office in May, beating out two more seasoned union activists. But she says she plans to use her celebrity to put money into actors’ pockets, saying that the position “was something that I could give my energy to more than anything,” especially as her two daughters left home for college last month.
