He spoke at the Nov 4th rally for Palestine in DC. Said he spent a few days doing research after his daughter said this is something he should engage on and decided on what was right, "Free Free Palestine!".

Then he got off the mic and gave it to someone who actually knew their shit. All in all, 10/10 celeb endorsement.

If not for the pandemic, he wouldn't have done any of it. It wasn't a particular position of Trump's to give that money, he just was in the position to do so at a time of crisis.

Great example are the farms in GB that are hyper exploiting migrants right now. TrashFuture have done two excellent episodes on the abuse and cover-ups recently, featuring the journalist of this piece:

Glad I've never listened to this guy. How I dodged that bullet given whenever I bring up " I listen to podcasts", he's always the first suggestion anyone gives me, I'll never know.

Also most draft dodgers weren't prosecuted.

"A distinction is made between draft evaders and draft resisters. There were millions of men who avoided the draft, and many thousands who openly resisted the conscription system and actively opposed the war.[9] The head of U.S. President Richard Nixon's task force on the all-volunteer military reported in 1970 that the number of resisters was "expanding at an alarming rate" and that the government was "almost powerless to apprehend and prosecute them".[10] It is now known that, during the Vietnam era, approximately 570,000 young men were classified as draft offenders,[3] and approximately 210,000 were formally accused of draft violations;[11][3] however, only 8,750 were convicted and only 3,250 were jailed.[3] Some draft eligible men publicly burned their draft cards, but the Justice Department brought charges against only 50, of whom 40 were convicted.[12]"
