Welcome to AltMedia House.

I founded this community to assist in the democratization of media by promoting voices that are suppressed in mainstream media publications, especially pro-Palestinian voices.

This community is 'AltMedia' in the Mearsheimer and Walt sense. Not the Richard Spencer sense.

This community likes John Mearsheimer, Stephen Walt, Alison Weir, Edward Said, Rashid Khalidi, Ilan Pape, Norm Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, Grant Smith, Chris Hedges, Robert Scheer, Ray McGovern, Larry Johnson, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Col. Douglas MacGregor, Max Blumenthal, Anya Parampil, Alastair Crooke, Chas Freeman, Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, Aaron Mate, Phil Giraldi, Matt Hoh, Karen Kwiatkowski, Kevork Almassian, Chief Dennis Fritz, Craig Murray, Scott Horton, Andrew Napolitano, Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer, Asa Winstanley, Daniel Davis, Nima Alkhorshid, Pascal Lottaz, Seymour Hersh, Glenn Greenwald, Krystal Ball, Saagar Enjeti, Jeremy Scahill, Ryan Grim, George Galloway, Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, John Kiriakou, and everyone proximal to this group.

News outlets we like: the Cradle, Grayzone, MondoWeiss, Antiwar.com, Mintpress, Jacobin, Middle East Monitor, Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, Information Liberation, israelpalestinenews.org, Electronic Intifada, Drop Site News, Responsible Statecraft, Sonar21, Scheerpost, Breaking Points, Consortium News, 972 Magazine, CounterPunch, The Intercept, The Nation, Haaretz and others like them.

We also browse Israeli newspapers like The Times of Israel and the Jerusalem Post for the ridiculous things they say.

We are cross-platform:

As much as people want these claims to be real, it seems a lot of these claims are unsubstantiated.

Trump is a pedophile still though.

It's crazy how they unredacted the names of women still alive as a form of punishment. I'm betting the redacted names are buried on the various gold courses. They don't want anyone going back and looking around.

Every accusation is unsubstantiated until someone puts in enough effort to substantiate it. The point is that the FBI received a ton of complaints specific to Trump and never really looked into them.

#metoo was started to address the fact that accusations by women are regularly ignored or dismissed without any follow up.

[–] BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

I couldn't agree more.

Add it to the long list of accusations of rape and sexual harassment over the years, as well as his self-described disdain for women, his creepy comments about his young daughter, admissions of creeping on underage women at beauty pageants, etc. etc. on and on. and you can't ignore it any longer.

yeah I was a bit hesitant to post it. Gets lots of upvotes... but not really what people want.. and getting lots of upvotes obscures other things.

Thank you for cutting off the real fucked up one

I've seen what it says elsewhere. It needs to be said.

This is what some 200 million Americans voted for (or by inaction refused to vote against) because having a brown woman be president was worse than this. Each and every one of them should know what they voted for.

Nah. That’s a big exaggeration. There were not even a total of 200 million votes, let alone that many for one of the candidates.

Trump got about 77.3 million votes. Harris got 75 million….

People are tired of tired ass corporate donor candidates. This is absolutely the fault of the democrat and republican parties. Quit blaming the voters. Look up…. You’re so worried about the other voters instead of looking at who is in power… the problem is the wealthy and political establishment, they lost this election.

I counted the people who could vote, but didn't. I thought that was clear. If not... I counted the people who could vote, but didn't. (It was also a very rough estimate that might be a ways off.) They were convinced not voting meant one, they couldn't be blamed if we didn't like the person who got elected. False: they had the power to swing it the other way and chose not to. And two, that one was at least "mostly" as bad as the other. In this case, not so. I don't even think other Republican candidates would have been this bad, had they won (like McCain and Romney).

Nah man,

I will not continue voting for the lesser of two evils. Done with that noise.

Stop blaming voters and blame the shitty establishment politicians.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I will not continue voting for the lesser of two evils. Done with that noise.

then you will continue to endure the harm of the worse candidate. you're never going to get the candidate that checks every box, that's not how politics works.

but thanks, your inability to comprehend harm reduction may mean no more need for votes for a long time.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 0 points 15 hours ago

If you didn't vote for the half-black South Asian woman, you're raciss! /s

[–] bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Oh absolutely. Just reading it again is not something I would like to do multiple times in a day. And subjecting child sexual assault survivors to it everywhere can be a triggering event.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago

Spoiler tag and a trigger/content warning takes care of that. Silence only helps the oppressors. Or in this case, abusers — though, both are really correct.
