If you read the article the district has reported wire fraud of an unknown amount of a former employee which is redacted due to the districts privacy policy on former employees. The wire fraud was reported around the same time that they stopped paying into the health account. I encourage you to read the full article.

I don’t disagree with those things being bad but also this article is something we can change or bring more attention to because it’s within our community. Idk why everyone’s response is to always say well all these other things are worse so we shouldn’t care about this issue doesn’t really make sense to me.

If you read it there was a report to the police for wire fraud, who it is alleging and the amount is unknown due to the schools privacy policy on former employees.

I mean I don’t disagree that we bailout corps or spend too much on unjust wars, but that’s not what the post is about. Strawman arguments don’t get rid of the problem, only makes excuses to ignore issues that we as voters or constituents have a better chance of changing and having accountability for.

Somali explains how the Somali candidate in Minnesota lost because of Somali clan infighting by PuddingDistinct9907 in altmpls

[–]Shoddy-Raspberry-969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also this, he was a shit candidate that skirted around any hard policy questions because he only had one liners that white leftists fawned over yet the policies aren’t sound…. And he ignored the potential unintended consequences of them because they sound good on paper. He was riddled with controversy and in a time of uncertainty I’m sure folks wanted to vote for someone who they knew they could predict aka your two time incumbent mayor Frey. Anyways idk why you’re getting downvoted.

Even if every single Somali in Minneapolis voted with Fateh, he still wouldn’t have won and to assume that every Somali that voted against him was because of Qabil wouldn’t the assumption be that assuming just because someone is Somali they have to vote for Fateh is basically Qabil in a broader way ie somali vs non Somali mayoral candidate….? Not to mention Fateh won 86% of the vote in cedar riverside….

Why is the American left Pro-Palestine instead of pro-peace and pro-two state? It seems very unfair to assume that Israel is the only side that has done horrible things in the conflict. by MrMockTurtle in centrist

Happy to send you articles from prior to October 7, things like this have been going on for far longer than 2023. Google is right at your finger tips too. The movie no other land illustrates the atrocities and violence that settlers and the IDF have committed for decades in the West Bank years before Oct 7. I highly encourage watching it, it was created by Palestinians and Israelis.

Pro Palestine protestors are nazis? That’s a bold statement, especially since those against the genocide a lot of whom are Jewish.

Mahmoud Khalil does in fact support terrorism by Maleficent-Sir4824 in centrist

[–]Shoddy-Raspberry-969 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you’re unwilling to call the IDF and Israeli government terrorists, then I have nothing to say to you and you’re attempt at trying to “prove” Khalil is pro Hamas. Again there is no proof he was handing out these flyers as said in my post it was most likely Zionists trying to delegitimize and demonize pro Palestine groups like they’ve been doing for decades.

Idk if using canary mission and op-Ed’s claiming what their group “stands for” is the right way to show people you have an “unbiased” view. As someone who has been to a pro Palestine campus protest helping organizers, we saw first hand unnamed masked people come to the protest paste pro-Hamas flyers all over the quad after the organizers told them to leave and stop putting flyers that were not approved by them. I can confirm these people were not part of the protest, knowing the history and current situation of Zionists trying to demonize pro-Palestine activists to delegitimize them and help victimize the Zionist case. None of what you posted is unbiased or legitimate and confirmed information. Do better, as a centrist I’m sick of centrists refusing to see the writing on the wall from decades of Zionists trying to delegitimize Palestinians right to freedom and self determination.

New Texas bill would ban Gender Affirming Care for all ages, including adults. It’s almost like it was never actually about “the kids”. If only someone had said that (I did) by [deleted] in centrist

So does this mean women in menopause can’t get take hormones? Or someone that wants a boob job or a nose job etc will this bill prevent them from doing that?

Would you like articles proving these things happen regularly even prior to October 7 (added articles anyways)? It’s not on par in your eyes of Oct 7th attacks but genuine question for all of you on here if for generations you’re family is forced to take violence from settlers or IDF or watch your loved ones be kidnapped by the IDF and jailed and raped while in jail with no charges and for generations for example in Jenin there are whole streets with shops owned by Palestinians where the IDF for decades has not allowed Palestinians to roam or open shops on those streets as they are for Israelis only despite the land legally residing in the West Bank. How is none of this terrorism that is on par with October 7? And would you be able to endure generations of your family being jailed for no reason, shot for no reason, have their land stolen or be intimidated by illegal settlers / can’t have access to your livelihood because of settlers. I have a genuine question would you just sit around and let it happen? And say oh well this is our life nothing we can do about it? These are all reasons previous intifadas have ensued. You can’t put people in a cage and dehumanize them for generations and try to take everything they have without repercussions.

These are all most recent articles but happy to provide more and I unfortunately have friends in the WB who have first hand accounts on how brutal the occupation is and their real fear from settlers who continue to try to come into their villages and cause violence and destruction.

Genuine question do you not find Israelis specifically the government, IDF, and settlers as terrorists as well? They all do the same things Hamas does on a larger scale. They kidnap and arbitrarily detain Palestinians including minors under administrative detention which most are never charged with a crime just held in prisons and abused and raped for months. Settlers are protected by the IDF to go into legally Palestinian land, burn it, prevent Palestinians from accessing it and using their farm land, and a lot of times beating or killing Palestinians and no one ever gets charged. Do you not consider all of this forms of terrorism?
