Headline:

Arson is suspected

Article:

Authorities say an unknown male suspect sprayed what they described as a possible accelerant on the office door, set it on fire and fled. They said the suspect remained at large and no motive had been established.

“A significant fire engulfed the door and part of the vestibule, impeding the egress of staff members who were working in the office and endangering their lives,” Burlington police said in a statement. “The sprinkler system then engaged and largely extinguished the fire.”

That’s absolutely arson, and almost assuredly a couple counts of attempted murder…

Are you on an instance/app where images are default collapsed? Like a twitter clone or something rather than Lemmy?

Or is a giant image intentional?

I was just blocking everyone who does it often because it’s jarring. But so many of you keep doing it so I wanted to ask if there’s a reason or just why?

Nope, it’s just that way by default. Drives me nuts too.

Yes lol. Do they hate that he’s Jewish? Or that he’s anti-Zionist? Or maybe they hate socialism? There’s a lot for shitty people to hate about Sanders

Bernie is not anti-Zionist. He’s repeatedly emphasized Israel has a right to defend it’s settler colonial apartheid self. He’s a Zionist.

During a presidential debate in the same year in Atlanta, Sanders embarked on another contradiction: “It is no longer good enough for us to be pro-Israel, I am pro-Israel, but we must treat the Palestinians with the dignity they deserve.” Being pro-Israel is being pro-colonialism, for the simple reason that Israel is a colonial enterprise that thrives upon the dispossession of the Palestinian people.

Is it possible for someone to not be actively anti-something, or the lack if being so will qualify them as pro-something?
