It continues to astonish me that those who are appalled by terrorist violence accept state-sponsored violence as necessary.
State-sponsored violence being associated with bravery, sacrifice, honor, and glory is the greatest propaganda coup in history.
Burn people to death from a plane and you'll get a medal.
Thank you for your service, as long as there's a state backing you: "here are your orders, go kill."
Even when the aim is revenge, as if Aeschylus' Oresteia is forgotten, 2500 years on
I have had enough interaction today. I’m going to play with my hedgehog.

Because there is a difference between supporting terrorism, and supporting the Palestinian people, just as there is a difference between criticizing Israeli government policy and antisemitism.

Ya know, there is NOTHING coming in from the House to vote on. There is NOTHING happening in the Senate. Why doesn't Schumer just bite the bullet and spend the next week promoting people, all day, every day, screw Tuberville. The Senate is just sitting on its thumbs right now, so get to work! The Democrats seem to be almost as intransigent as Tuberville in this particular case.

5/ Me: Ironically named document…
Document entered into evidence:
"First Amendment to the Declaration of Trump Tower Condominium"
The document discloses the triplex's actual square footage: 10,996.39 sq ft.
Trump's statements of financial condition claimed it was 30K sq feet.
The document was executed on Oct. 11, 1994.

Republicans calling a special legislative session to prevent *private businesses* from implementing Covid restrictions tells us an awful lot about where the party is right now.
Apparently government is supposed to be so big and intrusive that it can force a deadly, anti-freedom, anti-scientific ideology on everyone.

"Melanie disputes the common narrative that Israel was compensation for the Holocaust. She emphasizes the historical connection of #Jews to the land, long predating the #Holocaust. The misconception stems from various geopolitical factors, including Britain's colonial actions and biased media representation. Melanie experienced backlash in Britain for defending #Israel and realized that perceptions were deeply influenced by misinformation and a blurred line between truth and opinion. "
