At Morehouse College, students and faculty were divided over inviting President Joe Biden to receive an honorary degree and give a speech at the school's commencement ceremony. Morehouse valedictorian DeAngelo Fletcher, who had a Palestinian flag affixed to his graduation cap, called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza during his speech, and assistant professor of sociology Taura Taylor stood with her fist raised, facing away from Biden as he addressed the crowd. "I wanted to take it upon myself to, one, stand up for my principles, and then also kind of stand in solidarity for my students as well as my other fellow faculty members who felt that we were caught in this moment where it seemed like we, as a community, selected Biden, when we all did not," says Taylor. We also speak with Samuel Livingston, an associate professor of Africana studies, who held a flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo behind Biden as he spoke. "We held up the flag because the people of the Congo do not get enough media attention in terms of the active genocide that the United States is supporting through its support of Rwanda," says Livingston. "Congo deserves justice, reparations from the United States for the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, conspiring in that assassination, and the people today deserve a country that is built on peace and justice."

It's shameful Morehouse would give Biden credibility in our community. It's all optics. We understand oppression, and yet an oppressor sits with us. I don't get it. To see Biden clapping for a call for a ceasefire shows how hollow he sees this ceremony to be.

@@sherryschnurr1722 I have always been wary of either party and had this false notion that the Democratic party was much better but I lack imagination to think they could be as corrupt as they really are. But Before Obama I knew who Bernie was but had no clue to who Biden was. It could just be that Biden is evil and does not have dementia, but runs out of gas and acts shakey. In need of nap time.. Both to me are terrible leaders. Him and Trump.. Tick tock and such expose these people for who they are and can see why they want to put a stop to it.

His entire political career is comprised of one *imitation* of "sincerity" after another. He is the shallowest politician to exist. It would seem that he believes in this imitation based on some uncle or older men he saw get praise as a child.

Australian protesters have blocked the roads leading to Pine Gap, a US satellite intelligence gathering facility. They are protesting against the US support for Israel's actions, including alleged involvement in terror attacks and war crimes in Gaza and Rafah. The protesters argue that the US and Israel are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Palestinian civilians. Many Australians are expressing anger over the presence of US military bases in Australia, as they claim they never had the opportunity to vote on this matter. "Aboriginals want their land back. The native title claim to Pine Gap demands the departure of the Americans, as the US has endangered the sacred land of Pine Gap with nuclear threats of US aggression towards China. The US anti-China policy in Australia. It's almost as if the US media is obsessed with portraying China in a negative light, which is both creepy and laughable. The US wants to turn Australia into another Ukraine. The US media should be held to account they don't even express remorse for things that they got wrong and done wrong."

Both parties have the same exact policy of creating unlivable conditions around the world for resource extraction and geopolitical control while fueling the detention center industry (mostly run by Israel or American companies) that make huge profits by allowing massive amount of people through so they can be hunted recreationally by racist sociopaths and people pleasers. This is an INDUSTRY. They could easily just enforce border security in a rational and humane way but that wouldn’t feed the rich or fuel division.
