this is genocide denial. this is identical to the way a lot of holocaust denial is performed 'okay yes hitler was bad, but why are we focusing so much on him and not the 100 million dead in china or the 50 million dead in ukraine??' this should be viewed the same way.

Just a proud, unrepentant racist.
A MAGA grandpa in Wyoming called 911 and told the operator to “call ICE” on an Amazon delivery driver simply for speaking Spanish.

“There’s this guy in front of my house who can’t speak English. You need to call ICE on him.”

dred scott, in their minds, established the united states as a place of tiered citizenship and permanent inequality among americans. it was a ruling that said, in effect, that all men *were not* created equal and would *never* be treated as such.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

lol the ACIP committee let Aaron Siri speak for some 90 minutes and cut off CDC experts and scientists off after two minutes (sometime yelling at them to shut them up). Incredible stuff.
The country's biggest anti-vaccine lawyer, the guy behind weakened school mandates in Mississippi and West Virginia, who pulls in millions a year harassing the CDC on behalf of Del Bigtree's anti-vaxx org is ... presenting at ACIP. This panel is anti-vaccine theater. It's a cruel joke.

Little by little, evidence trickles out that everywhere in Gaza touched by IDF ground forces is smattered with mass graves.

Until all the perpetrators are identified and brought to justice, every single person who served in the IDF in the last few years should be treated as a murder suspect.

To put it simply: being a successful liberal pundit involves assuming good faith from your opponents and being a successful conservative pundit involves assuming bad faith. its nice to work in good faith but if only one person is willing to offer that then it’s no use.
