J Street head says he was β€˜persuaded’ by arguments that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza - Jewish Telegraphic Agency J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami joined a growing number of Jewish voices accusing Israel of committing genocide.

β€œUntil now, I have tried to deflect and defend when challenged to call this genocide. I have, however, been persuaded rationally by legal and scholarly arguments that international courts will one day find that Israel has broken the international genocide convention.”

Opinion | This Is What Autocracy Looks Like

β€œIf you saw all this in any other country β€” soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened β€” it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.”

How would a state stop paying federal taxes? Aren’t they taken from every individual?

I lost someone to suicide last nightβ€”because of this bill. I know disabled folks planning the same if it passes. They’ll lose everything. I can’t send them to the ERβ€”they’d be released in 72 hrs with a $50k bill.
Please help. Lives are on the line

Socio-emotional intelligence likely isn't valued at least partially because a lack of empathy is required for capitalism to thrive.

Newark’s Mayor Arrested at Protest Outside ICE Detention Center

Trump and Noem opened an ICE detention center in Newark without permission and in clear violation of the city's ordinances. And when confronted by Mayor Baraska, they did what authoritarians do.

They arrested and disappeared him.

As an American this makes me sad and happy. Sad it’s necessary and I fully support it. Happy that our American disease is being resisted. I know it will take a long time to regain your trust when the illness passes.

The way I describe our current crop of tech "leaders" is that they do not care for any solution to any problem unless it enriches them personally. They pretend to "disrupt" and "innovate", but they literally only care about capturing every dollar and ounce of prestige. Absolute monsters.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.
