Wonder if anyone will ever seriously discuss why this is the case, why did Biden hire them, why did he agree with them so much, why should the next president ever hire any of them back, etc.

McGurk, Biden's most senior aide on foreign policy in the Middle East, is constantly defending the Trump admin on CNN and saying that the Iran War was is an unequivocal good. Blinken praised the Trump plan for Gaza because it so closely matches his own. Hochstein says this. All very curious.

It should invite some serious introspection and critical examination that almost all of Biden's most important Middle East foreign policymakers and advisors are also functionally totally supportive of Trump's own program.

The NY Times has been misinforming people for well over a century while the first Black newspapers like Freedom's Torchlight were teaching newly freed people how to read and write AND providing the news.

It had reading and writing lessons, history, geography, prayers, and Bible lessons. #BlackSky
Omg, I love it.

The Civil War ended 1865. African American newspaper the Freedom's Torchlight, was teaching folks to read. 🥹

Remember when Chipotle blamed menu price increases on wage increases while making tens of millions a year?? …that same Chipotle that shamelessly tries to silence folks who are uniting for a voice at work. Surprise surprise, looks like they’re now teaming up with Palantir to track employee illnesses…

Katelyn Burns put such a fine point on this:

My 95 year old grandma cried when she heard people weren't vaccinating their kids against polio.
“On Thursday, Mr. Gorton said that “the success of the polio vaccine was a massive medical fraud” and that widespread vaccination was a “public health disaster.” He received a standing ovation…

Mr. Kennedy spoke next, linking arms with the group even as measles cases continue to rise”

The Guardian fired the excellent Dawn Foster, a disabled working class journalist, after Watson (then Labour's Deputy Leader) and his people had a fit at her incisive piece about him being a detriment to the Labour at that time (2019), which I would argue contributed to her death two years later.
Important to understand: Tom hasn’t *just recently* taken a job promoting and protecting the interests of Labour’s corporate friends, by getting his journo mates to print articles bigging up their business and shitting all over the left. That was always his job.

And don't forget the Gazan students accepted by our universities that were refused visas.
Don't really think Ireland as a whole deserves a pat on the back for the work of some artists, activists, and the people who pressure and protest, when our government watered down the OTB, the GAA refuses to drop Israeli weapon insurer Allianz, and the FAI is happy to play Israel without Irish fans

I think focusing on the "sex cult" aspect of the rationalists, while understandable for attention-grabbing, puts the emphasis in the wrong places. Sure, yes, the rats have sex, and because they're a fucked up abusive cult, some of that is fucked up abusive culty sex, but that's not the focus.
