Being pathetic is a choice.

Here's another bit of 'context': these "noted and important business leaders" were meeting with JE five years after he was indicted and three years after he was convicted. None of them objected to the presence of this monster.

Just saying hi to all the people who told us that this or that article by David Brooks 'needs to be taken seriously'.

Defending overt racism cannot ever be something that the labor movement should do. There ought to be a process to ensure that people are not fired without a fair hearing. But any reasonable process would determine, on the facts given here, that this person deserved to be fired.

Pedestrianization and Public Transport expansion should be the rule in all American cities.

This article is really odd, and proves again that the ibtimes cannot be trusted. There have been many admirable American-Jewish socialists but Eugene Debs was not one of them. His parents were French Protestants.

Am I supposed to know who this Nicki person is?

We are misled if we start out from the idea that the NYT is a liberal newspaper that unfortunately keeps making errors of judgement. It has become a right wing rag and the remaining good journalists are hanging on because they need the job.

Exactly. Being disappointed in the NYT is a neurosis. This paper will never get better. It is a right wing rag. Accept that and move on.

So all Keir Starmer's sucking up didn't work? I'm so surprised.
