It’s sadly going to be this way for a long while; we’ve got a number of (relatively) young and healthy Justices, and I don’t see judicial reform (likely requiring abolishing the filibuster) on the horizon.

Extreme enshittification

In so many ways, this attack was Israel’s 9/11. Evidently up-to-and including harassing peaceful Arabic people doing nothing suspicious.

Conservatives don’t want to go to any college these days, and no liberal kid wants to be associated with this wacky school. You’ve made a product with no demographic, congrats Ron.

Somehow he’s an even worse businessman than Trump, the fuck?

It is crucial to denounce violence as a general solution, and just to be clear, the existence of the unjustifiable hierarchy is also violence. Our shared responsibility is to work toward a world where unjustifiable hierarchies are dismantled, leaving no room for oppression, exploitation, or deprivation.

If you’re only going to read one piece on the background of the Israeli conflict, this is it. I completely agree with their deescalation-seeking take.

The IRS has said it won't increase audits on households earning less than $400,000 annually.

Going after rich tax cheats is one of those bipartisan policies that only Republican politicians and their rich donors oppose. Fund the IRS and make these rich assholes pay their fair shares!

This is the one part of the operation that I assume most people can agree is acceptable, recovering the hostages.

"They were never on board with it,” said a former senior White House official, referring to the Israelis. “They always thought it was a dangerous and destabilizing idea.”

This statement could be applied to any of the Trump administration’s foreign policies.

Thank you for putting the appropriate amount of disrespect on that man’s name

When the options are “David Duke without the baggage” or “What locker-room molestation?” both choices are worse than the other.

Good points. McCarthy thought he was picking party and country, but his insane coalition wouldn’t see that.

Liz Cheney was probably the last “traditional Republican” they had and they made an example of her. Kevin picked country over party and that led to his ousting. Who’s going to side with the Democrats now?

On one hand, maybe don’t call the worst antisemitic attack since the Holocaust Jews’ fault. On the other, don’t go around fucking doxxing kids.

The whole world needs to turn the heat down a notch, like right the fuck now.

This is going to be an extremely and unnecessarily bloody weekend.

Until there’s a two state solution, these killings and escalations don’t have an offramp. Even if Israel kills every single Hamas fighter, they can’t kill the idea of Palestinian independence. Ideas are bulletproof.

While the Demographia report found Gaza City isn’t as packed as the world’s most dense cities, including Dhaka, Bangladesh, which has over 80,000 people per square mile, it’s more crowded than global cities, such as London, and three times more dense than Los Angeles, the most population-dense area in the US, according to the report.

CNN

They’re telling 1.1 Million people to move in 24hours in an area more dense than LA or London. In an area without power, fuel, or food.

With how they’re acting, neither of them should get the land.

Thursday's ruling does not affect any decision on Russian and Belarusian athletes' participation at the Paris 2024 Olympics which the IOC will take at a later date.

They’re going to let them compete under some Olympic title and flag like 2022, and Russia will celebrate their wins all the same. This is an empty gesture without banning their athletes as well.
