AIPAC, a rightwing conservative, quasi-religious, foreign organization, is interfering with U.S. elections and shaping who is and who isn’t a member of Congress.
AIPAC is currently targeting progressives like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee, Jamaal Bowman, Greg Casar, Delia Ramirez, Maxwell Frost, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others who do not feel beholden to Israel and are sympathetic to Palestinians.
If AIPAC was a super PAC funded by North Korea, or China, or Russia, or Iran—and interfering in elections by financing the campaigns of specific candidates—almost every member of Congress would be freaking out. And rightly so. This is no different.
one of my favorite things about agents of shield is that this show about spies and world-threatening forces and betrayal and mystery has an episode where they paused the story and had jeff ward sing ‘don’t you forget about me’ very very incorrectly for nearly 3 minutes.
A great subversion of Bleach's storyline would have been if Isshin hadn't been involved in any way, in giving back Ichigo's powers...
Nothing from the World of the Living.
The entire plan had been made in Soul Society. Urahara would be involved, but we would have been absent from the main plot and we would have found out later on that he'd been in the Seireitei all this time, working with Mayuri. (I hate him, but I would be willing to throw him a bone on this one...)
Everyone would question where Isshin had been. Why had he not been involved in helping his son?
Then, when TYBW came around, we would find out that instead of that so-called love story between Isshin and Masaki, the Shiba Clan had actually always been shady as fuck, imprisoned and banned for valid reasons and Isshin himself wanted power and was in an alliance with the Quincy. (unbeknownst to Masaki)
He was not a awkward father who nonetheless loved his kids. He'd be power hungry, willing to sacrifice his first born into the crystal prison, to ascend to Squad Zero and somewhat rule over the Soul Society.
Squad Zero and Isshin manipulating and "allowing" Yhwach and the Sternritter's invasion?
Amazing.
Us being shown that Yhwach wasn't as powerful as he believed, the Almighty was just "fireworks"? Ichibei and Isshin being the actual villains since the beginning?
Byakuya, Rukia and Renji taking on Ichibei as Ichigo, Hitsugaya and Matsumoto had to fight Isshin?
Chef's kiss...
Ichigo having to cut ties permanently with his human side and the World of the Living after having to deal the final blow on his own father, would have been arrowing and emotional...
