CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

Oh FFS. This is the WHOLE point - superannuation is not meant to be used as a wealth building vehicle or to pass down millions to your kids. It is meant to be savings for your retirement. That it IS being used to dodge tax while building wealth/inheritance is why reform is needed

Was thinking about how in the 1950s Red Scare a common black mark was if you were "prematurely anti-fascist” - ie against Hitler in the 1930s.
Never forget that had you polled people in the 1930s most would have not given a damn. And as such advisors would have counseled the govt to do nothing.

No baby formula has entered Gaza for four months because of Israel’s genocidal blockades. There is nothing left to feed babies and their mothers can not produce milk as they themselves are starving. There is no defending what Israel is doing. No justification.
