Progressive, anti-fascist, pro-generosity. I am also the author of a novel: RIGHT HERE. You can find it available in paperback and Kindle at Amazon. In a past life I was an English professor and then a dean.

Jewish figures across the globe call on UN and world leaders to sanction Israel Exclusive: In an open letter, Israeli ex-officials, artists and intellectuals say โ€˜unconscionableโ€™ actions in Gaza amount to genocide

"'Our solidarity with Palestinians is not a betrayal of Judaism, then, but a fulfillment of it,โ€ the signatories write. โ€œWhen our sages taught that to destroy one life is to destroy an entire world, they did not carve exceptions for Palestinians.'"

"Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. Theyโ€™ve had their necks kneeled on. Theyโ€™ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear."

Imagine what is happening to those deemed "illegal."

Tylenol has been around since 1955. Autism was first named and diagnosed in 1911. Therefore, as any fool can see, Tylenol causes autism. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tylenol...

If there is hope for the planet we are trying to destroy, that hope resides in the promise of our own self-destruction; it relies on the primary characteristic of our species: the overwhelming lust for slaughtering our own kind.

Some lies are so obvious, so fat and overblown, so blatant and so raw, so absurd and ridiculous that they strain our credulity, our belief that they are really lies. They become reflexive parodies and thus under cut their identities as lies.

If someone says that Trump has done something disgusting and inhuman, Trump can sue him in court, But for obvious reasons, Trump will lose the case.
