Yeah honestly this has been one of my takeaways too, after hearing about these awful things a while back.
You never know what’s going on in the life of a stranger on the other end of a phone call, so respect and politeness is the best we can offer.
Covid is the reason, FYI.
But it’s of course way more complicated than just that, as they go into in the article.
I feel you. It’s very expensive to be poor.
It must be pretty intimidating for these fools to have to contend with a sane, principled, Jewish, Mexican woman. They don’t like any of those attributes.
DNC chair Ken Martin said that the controversy surrounding Hogg “destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to.”
Uhh then I think he needs to look up the word “leadership” in a dictionary. Good leaders don’t usually blame their subordinates for their own deficiencies. Hogg isn’t doing anything that would prevent Martin from growing a backbone and actually leading the party.
Blaming Hogg for Martin’s shitty instincts is childish and transparently ineffective. I was always against Martin as chair, and he continues to make all the mistake we knew he would make.
Thanks!
Yup, the Supreme Court doesn’t give two shits about us.
Write-up in Vox from 2023: The Supreme Court’s latest opinion means innocent people must remain in prison.
Oh I know, I’ve been here for years despite the age of my account. I just migrated from lemm.ee
I tend not to like to name these types of extensions because more exposure puts them at risk, and they’re super easy to find anyway.
Or, and hear me out: just install a browser plugin and forget ads exist.
I hesitate to name extensions names, but I’ve literally never seen an ad on YouTube.
These companies don’t respect us, so I don’t feel the need to respect them by allowing them to force their meaningless bullshit down my throat.
I don’t use it that much, but you better believe if I go to YouTube to watch a video, that video is the only thing I’m watching.
As an American Jew who has spent significant time in Israel and the occupied territories in Palestine, this piece is awesome and accurately reflects my experiences there.
Anyone who thinks Israel operates in good faith needs to read this, to quickly have that misconception torn to shreds. Many American Jews have gone through this kind of transformation, and it makes perfect sense when you see what actually happens to the normal human beings living there—that happen to be Palestinian—on a daily basis.
And his descriptions of interacting and living with Palestinians (and how Israelis only ever refer to all Palestinians as Arabs), match my experiences to the tee.
Clyburn arguably shares a big chunk of the blame for our current situation. He’s the reason Biden was resurrected from the bottom of the primary barrel, and why nearly the whole establishment fell in line overnight. Biden had almost no chance of winning the 2020 primary, until Clyburn.
So fuck this, fuck Newsom, and fuck the DNC’s inevitable force-feeding of a candidate nobody wants. They are incapable of learning the simplest lessons.
