Did boycotting the election save a single life in Gaza? Did it stop any Muslim students from being deported? Did the boycott protect trans lives, Black and Brown lives? Did it prevent Israel from replenishing their weapons cache? Did it earn freedom for Gaza? No. But it did help Trump win...

Don't need to. ICE and Ben Gvir are already doing enough of that.

When faced with an existential threat to American democracy itself, most of us chose to pinch our noses and vote against the wannabe/soon-to-be autocrat. Getting rid of the Electoral College would make our elections more fair, but that's not the current system.

Every time you use the word "genocide," you hurt the Palestinians cause. Every time folks on the far left decry Israel's very existence, you set the cause for Palestinian statehood back even further. 10/7 has the majority of Israelis convinced that Hamas poses an existential threat.

Unfortunately, the damage done by the "Uncommitted" and the "Boycott Biden/Harris" folks cannot be undone in America, in Gaza, and beyond.

We can make this an opportunity to root out the extremists like Bibi and Ben Gvir in Israel — and Hamas in Gaza — and focus on sustainable ways to build and move forward.

The Lesson of 1929

Debt is the almost singular through line behind every major financial crisis.

Portland-based streamer Brooks Brown and a few of his friends created Operation Inflation, an organization providing puff-up costumes to those protesting the crackdown by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
