The Catholic Church had been negotiating with Cuba to free hundreds of political prisoners, many of whom were jailed following unprecedented protests in July 2021.
Politics in a nutshell. Politicians don’t usually wanna do anything “controversial” because it can affect election results, but since they are in lame-duck session now, it doesn’t matter anymore so they start to do whatever they feel like.
Its not actually controversal. Both parties support giving weapons to Israel. Only like a few progressive Democrats opposed it. Like Biden could veto all he wants, its getting the 2/3 congressional override anyways.
Real life isn’t like Lemmy. The average person doesn’t care about a genocide overseas. Talk to people irl and you’ll see just how much the average person cares. Its unfortunate, but it is reality. 😓
