The development of SSRIs (anti-depressants like Prozac) and related medications came in the middle of my adult life, so I've lived in the Before and After times, and I can assure you this is true.

The fact that a substantial number of people who are against Zionism also seem to be against the very concept of taking anti-Diaspora antisemitism seriously is a major reason Zionism is as influential as it is in the Jewish community.

The *only* reason to attack a synagogue in America is antisemitism, period, end of story.

Not Israel
Not AIAPC
Not Netanyahu
Not "GenocideApartheid Colonizer"

Antisemitism. So if you can't offer your support, offer your silence.

Thinking of taking the subway to school in the early 1980s (as did many of my classmates) . . . . when murder rates were 5-10x as high as now. We were fine.

Noem’s Disastrous Reign at FEMA - Legal Planet Noem has done great damage to FEMA, leaving the country more vulnerable to disasters. Trump's desire to abolish the agency isn't helping.

Noem did her best to wreck FEMA, which she wanted to abolish. Her successor will need to do a lot of work if he wants to restore US disaster resilience.

This is a really good interview.It confirms what most of us already suspected: there’s no plan to end this war and Trump/Rubio have fired all the experts who could have helped. Iran will not open up the Strait of Hormuz just because Trump decides to stop the shooting.

You know what’s the sort of thing you’d invest in if you wanted to reduce Iranian power over the global economy in the long run? Renewables, that’s what.

It’s like when I went to the Baseball Hall of Fame for the first time a few years ago. I was all ready to be cynical about it, and then we watched the little intro video and my wife, our friend, and I were basically immediately all crying.

Baseball is beautiful. Baseball is the best.

This is yet one more reason it is important to highlight his mental decline. It will make clear that his end may be closer than people think.

I dunno man. It’s also morally wrong, but if I were the GOP right now, I would not be eager to make it even harder to vote. Dems will crawl over broken glass to cast a ballot against Trump; meh Republicans or low propensity voters will just stay home.

Trump sends mixed signals on when Iran War might End Trump Zigzags on When War Will End

I’m not sure whether “mixed signals” or “zigzags” captures the fact that, in an unhinged press conference, Trump said completely contradictory things about the war that he started without explaining its goals or endgame and without getting Congressional approval.

Trump saying things has no probative or epistemic value whatsoever, including as to his own state of mind and intentions

We all know this, by now. And yet somehow the lesson does not sink in

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
