Not commenting on this action, but if boycotts of Israel continue after it stops killing in Gaza, if they are not tied to a specific demand, the conclusion Israelis draw is “they hate us regardless and there is no point listening to them.”

It woulda been less embarrassing if he didn’t incessantly campaign for the Peace Prize like the self-obsessed dweeb that he is. Now it’s the story of “he didn’t get it” and the pundits will have it on repeat for weeks—it’s just so very glib how one man cant stop making self into laughing stock.

The discovery of regulatory T-cells may seem an obscure bit of biology to win such an esteemed prize. It is not. It is an excellent example of physiology leading to medicine in the way the prize’s double name alludes to

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Telling the truth about red states will get you roundly condemned but spreading lies about blue cities is just standard operating procedure for Republicans.

It’s especially weird because most red states are living off tax money from blue cities.
