No scholar, no matter how "brilliant," deserves a pass for treating others with such callous disregard.
Remember my thread from last week about "hysteria"? Well, the latest traunch of Epstein files suggests that Noam Chomsky missed that day in History class.
[In 2019, after Epstein pled guilty, Chomsky reassured him, saying it was just part of "the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women"]

Genocide Josh is pissed off that someone read what he wrote
Josh Shapiro writes in his new book that he was being grilled by the Kamala Harris team about his views on Israel because he's a Jew.
In college, Josh Shapiro wrote that Palestinians as a collective "are too battle-minded" and that peace can only happen if Arabs don't "ruin it".

we need this energy in Pittsburgh
ICE agent recognized out Christmas shopping—throws tantrum when citizens profile him.
"We're trying to prevent you from kidnapping our neighbors," they say.
"I'm not doing anything but walking, leave me alone!" he yells.
"Not right now you're not—but the past 5 days you have."

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency.
Any elected Democrat who wants ICE to exist is outside the mainstream of their party and the people they purport to represent.

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

"pent up demand for rail options" also explains much of the success of Heated Rivalry
seriously though, there is very clearly pent up demand for rail options and every reason to build out as much new rail as possible.

Expanding the Supreme Court should be a core part of an anti-corruption platform for Democrats in 2026 and 2028. And when I say “an anti-corruption platform,” I mean that should be *the* platform. Tie everything back to corruption.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Quibbling over the semantics of the second tap also runs the risk of suggesting that the first tap was something other than murder.
“Quibbling over the semantics of ‘double-tap’ doesn’t change the reality that the strike was a summary execution of men clinging to the remains of a boat.”

it's crazy that being like "how do i explain gay couples to my kids?" isn't an unthinkably embarrassing to say in 2025. it's actually incredibly easy to explain, that should be like indignantly saying "how am I supposed to explain to my kids where the sun goes at night? did a bird steal it?!"

This is my reasonable compromise- anyone who only stopped denying the Gaza genocide this week are allowed in the "coalition" against it if they don't run for reelection if they are a politician and resign from their media jobs if they are a "journalist". Being deadly wrong needs consequences
