This happened in the gay neighborhood.

Now I would have liked the gays to throw food that's a bit more sophisticated at CPB like a Beef Wellington or something, but a Subway sandwich will do in a pinch.

I thought Nancy Pelosi was in charge of deploying the National Guard in DC. 🤷

This Episcopalian agrees.

Oh huh just like trans people have been saying for a decade

"It's gotta be someone else's fault" is the cry of losers who are incapable of reflection and self-awareness

Same totally.

So the building's colour is wrong, its dimensions are wrong, its oriented to work with the street, the centre is full of bars that serve alcohol and the architect is a Lithuanian-Jew, but the next 9/11-style attacker will completely be deterred from attacking because of it. Gotcha!

This is grotesque. A civil society group effectively being destroyed utterly meritless litigation because of expression that antagonized a politically-connected billionaire. Who ludicrously claims to be a champion of free speech.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

Polls show that a clear majority of Israelis oppose the resettlement and annexation of Gaza. Even some Israelis who dream of one day ruling the entire land balk in practice at the notion of maintaining a perpetual military occupation against a Hamas insurgency. But Israel’s prime minister is beholden to the minority demanding exactly that. Netanyahu’s fragile coalition received just 48.4 percent of the vote in Israel’s last election, and relies on explicitly anti-Arab far-right factions to remain in power while Netanyahu is on trial for corruption. President Joe Biden understood this dynamic, and his administration undertook a public and private pressure campaign to prevent Netanyahu from acceding to his hard-right allies.

“We have been clear, consistent, and unequivocal that Gaza is Palestinian land and will remain Palestinian land,” the State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a January 2024 statement, publicly rebuking two Netanyahu ministers for their “inflammatory and irresponsible” call to encourage “migration” from Gaza to make way for Jewish settlement. Secretary of State Antony Blinken flew to the region and assured America’s Arab allies that it opposed forced displacement. “Palestinian civilians must be able to return home as soon as conditions allow,” he said at a press conference in Doha, Qatar. “They cannot, they must not, be pressed to leave Gaza.” Blinken then traveled to Israel, where he apparently delivered the same message to Netanyahu. The next day, the Israeli leader posted a video in which he declared, “Israel has no intention of permanently occupying Gaza or displacing its civilian population.” A member of Netanyahu’s party told the press that the prime minister’s stance had shifted because of American pressure. For the moment, maximalism had been shoved back into the box.

Something many do not know: The Biden administration engaged in a public and private pressure campaign to compel Netanyahu to reject the ethnic cleansing calls of his far-right allies. It worked. Then Biden lost, the pressure stopped and Trump reversed everything.

The Worst-Kept Secret of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Trump turned a far-right fantasy—ethnic cleansing in Gaza—into U.S. policy. He needs to reject it.

My latest: Trump opened the door to ethnic cleansing in Gaza. He needs to close it and stop feeding the Israeli right's dark fantasies of conquest—both in Gaza and the West Bank—or he will never achieve the peace he claims to want. Please read the whole thing. Gift link:

hey you guys remember when the white house photoshopped gang tats on a pic of an innocent man?

anyway, memories

The accepted mental health treatment for gender dysphoria by psychologists/psychiatrists is to assist in being trans, as trying to "fix" them leads to suffering bc you can't change someone's brain structure. Your so-called "leftists" are relying on the science.

MAGA has been tick-tocking Obama and Hillary for almost 20 years. Maybe they're just gullible fools.

Not only is that false, there are large parts of the country that aren't covered by commercial AM or FM radio because the population is spread too thin to be commercially profitable.

Ummm... neuroscience has shown that being trans is normal. It's something that happens in the womb. If they have psychological problems, it's due to prejudice.

"All the genetic, postmortem, and in vivo scanning observations support the neurobiological theory about the origin of gender dysphoria."

ABC fired a guy for saying Miller was fueled by hate.

I bet you can't even define what Critical Race Theory is without help. You're just parroting talking points you've been spoon-fed.

CRT Is only taught at a university level because it's complex. Teaching that trans people exist because they actually do exist, isn't teaching kids to become transgender.

Just because parents oppose what they have been spoon fed by right-wing media doesn't make it real.

Social decadence creates people who think they can tear everything down without consequences, sadly.

Oh... now you're posting whackadoodle stuff. Public schools don't do those things. Stop drinking the right-wing Kool-Aid.

NPR is necessary. Not only do they provide local new and information that commercial stations don't, they broadcast weather warnings that save lives.

What small neighborhood restaurant is going to have the money to invest in automating a kitchen? Here in Brooklyn, they're mostly run by first gen immigrants and barely scrape by with family labor. Why would anyone want automated food from their local Indian or Thai place anyway?

And people told me I was overreacting in comparing the concentration camp to Auschwitz. They're not being subtle about what they want to do

I swear half the time he's confusing Iran with Iraq.

Very much this. Funny how the Court was perfectly happy to allow nationwide injunctions against Biden administration actions that were entered by conservative judges, especially ones like Judge Kacsmaryk in Texas. But now that judges are restraining Trump's illegal actions, the Court rushes in. 😡
