“As a citizen of a country openly financing genocide, and as a family that experienced South African Apartheid, the endorsement was an opportunity to repudiate justifications for the widespread targeting of journalists and ongoing war on children.”

Trump wants to turn the colonial violence inward, Harris wants it more external to the core in order to placate the Metropole. From a purely selfish standpoint, it makes sense. But it shows a complete lack of solidarity and consciousness

    See and I understand that from the perspective of most Americans, but not journalists! The Biden-Harris administration has, via Israel, murdered more journalists than literally anyone ever in history.

    I saw someone say this like 2 hours ago but now can’t find it to save my life, “Journalists for Harris is like chickens for KFC”

    “Journalists for Harris is like chickens for KFC”

    They arent tho, this is like saying soldiers voting for harris are wrong because harris is killing hundreds of hamas soldiers. They are different groups, a western journalists job is not to promote truth, it is to serve as the media apparatus for the state, in this case, to aid the genocide of the palestinians.

    The western journalist class are not idiots, they want to kill as many palestinian children as possible, and its their job to make sure the domestic proles feel good about it
