To to return to my point, the Palestinian can't return to his village because he's not a Jew, the Palestinian can't get citizenship because he's not a Jew, the Palestinian can't live in certain places because he's not a Jew, the Palestinian isn't protected from displacement because he's not a Jew.

Heidegger, Pound, Webern, Jung all supported the Nazis.

fascism is a moral error, not an intellectual one. being educated isn't a prophylactic.

this is by far the worst reading of Alan Moore’s Watchmen I’ve ever seen and if you spend an appreciable amount of time online you will know what a crowning achievement that is

"Indianness in anything survives precisely because it is unfaithful to itself, constantly retranslated, mispronounced, misidentified, reimagined."

The global war economy is thriving — while humanity bleeds. When defense stocks soar with every airstrike, peace becomes bad business. My latest op-ed about the Merchants of War: Defense Corporations and Defense Contractors. #MyPiece

Unsure if heckler (with that voice) would be recording.

Please, can't wait for the more on that...

I actually think the theory implies that ezra klein is a dummy but more on that later I guess

Brilliantly done.

Episode 4 is up! This one is very meaningful to me. Very proud to work for someone so unfailingly committed to protecting everyone in this city.

Trans people may only be like 1% of the population, but the percentage of people who love and support them is bigger. LGBTQ+ rights depend on solidarity and not throwing each other under the bus for acceptance from ppl who want us dead.
