The plates are Saudi and both have 666. Names Fahd and Lahn. A quick search revealed the 666 plates are apparently exclusive and expensive. No clue about the names. Gross display. So familiar and sickening.

And then everyone around him when he took questions saying not a word. What a repulsive crowd. All worthless. To think they have families, pets, friends who love them, that they smile and have good days and all. Grotesque.

Or it’s not insane but entirely explicable and long past time we treat it as the norm we need to destroy.

Exhausting. Why can't they ever let go. Why do they always have to torpedo the energetic forward thinking newcomers.

Skewering History: The Odious Politics of Counting Gaza’s Dead – Arena Critical * Radical * Australia * Earth

Israel is committing genocide in full view. Genocide. While your stance is welcome, it has been the same for a while, and you really need to level up to meet what is happening on its actual terms. arena.org.au/politics-of-...

Ezra-

Your piece on the death of Charlie Kirk was reckless, insulting, condescending, and worst of all, a piece of hagiography. For someone who claims to honor history and context in your work, it reads as if it was written by someone who respects neither of those things.Β 

What does it mean to practice politics in the "right way"? For whom does a "taste for disagreement" benefit? Certainly not the vulnerable populationsβ€”trans people, Black women, and moreβ€”who Kirk routinely targeted with hate speech and calls for violence.Β 

When I was a college intern at NBC News Washington in 2008, I would watch your MSNBC appearances on the monitor in our office. At that point I could only dream of having a platform like yours, which has grown exponentially since then. Now that I have a platform (albeit it much, much smaller than yours) and I couldn't fathom using it to gaslight the country into believing a hateful man stood for a public good. Maybe it's time to consider how you're using yours.Β

The Burning Heart of the World, by Nancy Kricorian. Slowly winds deeper and deeper into the generational trauma of genocide, and the ending will haunt you forever. Must-read for the current moment.

i have an autoimmune disease and while I was waiting for insurance to finally approve the meds that would help, an herbalist recommended anything fermented---kimchi etc. Also prep a bottle of apple cider vinegar, water, honey, dash of cayenne, some lemon juice, and sip on it all day.

Why on earth would you be open to that ideaβ€”you do realize Iran had an agreement that Trump tore up his first term, that Iran was at the table, that this war is entirely manufactured? Why are you making concessions to this lunacy?
