Nice try but I'm pretty sure the name of the game is "base ball"

i'm so serious, give the peace prize to ms rachel www.instagram.com/p/DPosLeoAMYu/

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love, Ms Rachel

She endorsed Harrell back in March so it was always gonna be bad. This is progress even though it looks dumb

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.

We play ten minute games with three teams so it's 20 minutes on, 10 off - enough time to rest 😅

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

A single secular democratic state in which all residents have equal rights and the right to participate in democratic society. Given the current state of Israeli civil society this would likely require a Reconstruction-like intermediate period

Rakesfall has been near the top of my to-read list for a while. valid to be underwhelmed by the second half of Bright Doors but I liked its weird dreamlike kafkaesque mood

whenever a national level dem releases an endorsement of an embattled local incumbent in the final leadup to the election, that's how you know the incumbent is cooked. see: Bill Clinton endorsing Cuomo in June

The Seattle mayoral race is turning national in the closing weeks, with the Harrell campaign touting the endorsement of former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Monday.

I know that's right @dsa.la

• Four members of the current council, including Soto-Martínez, won their seats by ousting an incumbent. All four hit their opponents from the left, with digital organizing savvy and the support of grassroots progressive groups.

[emphasis added] Sure, someone could technically oust an incumbent without being a millennial endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America.[end emphasis] But no one’s done it in a couple of decades. Which brings us back to Soto-Martínez’s race: There’s not much room to challenge him from the left, given that he’s already been endorsed by the rest of the council’s left bloc. A more moderate challenger is arguably the likelier option, and there has been plenty of talk about a potential business-backed candidate. No takers yet, though

It's too late of course but the 4d chess move would have been to teach trump about the fairness doctrine and how great he'd be if he brought it back

Personally don't think (3) is actually that important but 100% agree that 1&2 are the overwhelming issue and mls seems to somehow be going backwards on that front instead of forward

Far more dangerous than Trump, I think, is how quickly the last eight months have pulled back the curtain on America's elites and shown everyone how venal, how cowardly and how utterly mediocre the foundation of our society has been.
