I'm sure they meant "death to Zionists", not "death to Jews", because, you know, antizionism isn't antisemitism, amirite?!

@stevel Nobody in the UK is really talking about the fact that this Home Office policy means they can in principle strip citizenship from and expel anyone with a single Jewish grandparent (b/c Israel's Law of Return applies), or a Canadian grandparent, or any Turkish ancestry AT ALL (Turkish citizenship is by descent, AIUI with no generational limit).

Funny how they only ever use it against dark-skinned people who embarrass the government politically.

The "Gilded Age" lives on, but in 2024, Republicans are setting a new standard for human rights violations. Workers wouldn't be allowed rest breaks, even in the severe heat of FL's summers, which has worsened with #globalwarming.

28-11: The FL state Senate just passed a bill to remove local govts' authority to adopt heat standards, such as guaranteed shade and rest breaks, for workers.

The bill would make all local heat protections “void & prohibited.”

Reading this Axios headline is like getting randomly punched in the face by a stranger on the street.

The bipartisan immigration bill would have eliminated this backlog, by increasing the number of asylum officers by 330%. But the Republican Party explicitly refuses to vote on the bill, or ANY immigration bill.

The GOP literally announced, out loud, that this is all their fault. Nevertheless, Axios explicitly blames Biden for what THEY did.

Imagine if instead of making COVID isolation guidelines as weak as the flu...

We approved combo rapid tests like this and made them free and available for everyone...

So that people could tell how long they need to isolate based on science and not feelings, whatever the pathogen.
