​The IDF has forced thousands of Palestinians in Hebron to leave their homes in recent days, claiming “terrorist infrastructure” is present. Hundreds of home searches later they have found… one pistol and one rifle. That is less than the average per-home firearm inventory in my neighborhood.

I guess by the strictest definition a rapist and their victim are interacting but that seems a poor choice of description

Big tent party doesn’t mean giving every hateful ideology a seat at the table alongside normal people. Hateful losers do vote though and they should vote for democrats out of self interest but that doesn’t mean that any old nonsense deserves to be “heard out” whether it’s someone denying that

If people want to be “antipalestinian dems” (not even pro Israel, but anti Palestinian) then they need to be treated like antiabortion Dems, anti trans dems, and anti black dems. They need to be shown the door when they show up with stupid ass ahistorical nonsense.

Trans women are women or whether it’s someone trying to shift blame away from Hitlers Germany for the Holocaust, nor whether there are or are no Jewish space lazers. We don’t have to act credulous when someone spews hatred. You can just say no.

Whenever anyone pivots from "here's this horrible thing the Republicans did" to "and this shows how bad both parties are," feel free to ignore/scorn/block them.

Wether it’s Vivek attacking a sexual assault victim or Acton being assaulted as a 12yo, both sides are at fault. Thank you for having the courage to say this Joe Manchin

I used to work at a movie theater. It was ok for a while, and I got to see a lot of free movies off-hours til I was sick. But it wasn’t meaningful and I don’t imagine it was. I would never buy or hold stock in a theater chain. I wouldn’t credit it with cultivating a love of film. It was $7.25/hr

Oh please. I did a lot of meaningless work to *get* to a career, but even my 25 years at the War College were mostly a slog. I've had *meaningful* work twice: Teaching undergrads, and writing. The rest of it, not so much. That's why it's called "work" Not everyone gets to be an astronaut.

I'm not some campist who's going to say we should all accept what's coming to us but we are at war with them and the way we still treat it as surprising that means they're at war with us is a little silly

These things cost money tho. That’s the big problem underneath all healthcare reform proposals

🧪 A new study found care recommended by LLMs costs 3.2x more than plans from treating physicians ($314 vs. $97 per visit at Medicare rates). Across 200 real clinical encounters, AI ordered 5.6x more specialist referrals and nearly 2x as many new medications. #MedSky

This is why it's dangerous to give rich people so much power over our lives. Sometimes, they are appallingly ignorant. The Nazis added the word "socialist" to their name purely as propaganda to appeal more to workers. But the party--and Hitler--hated real socialists and communists.

Yes and substituting other reasons like “the dems aren’t pro Israel enough” is just putting a different hat on the same problem and same result

I’m sorry are you saying that this is fake?

There is a serious problem with anti-Dem activists being treated with outsized credulity. “El Sayed eats fried chicken??? Racist!!!” Is the kind of take Ben Shapiro or Tucker Carlson would be dragged for in ordinary times.

I’m working with a black - Jewish coalition that’s against el Sayyed. His stunts - like eating fried chicken at a gas station - aren’t going over well.

“Soft Holocaust denial, but like Pro-Israel tho” is the kind of thing that should not be welcome but somehow is.

Some Muslims and Arabs do bear some responsibility for the Holocaust, yes.
