Takes some chutzpah for pro-Israel influencers to deploy Hannah Arendt to dismiss non-Zionist Jews, given that if Arendt were writing today, they would unquestionably be calling her self-hating and deracinated for her critiques of Israel and Zionism.

We can never tolerate intolerance. The venn diagram of people who hate Jews and people who are anti-Black and people who are misogynists and bigots is a near perfect circle. If they hate one of us they hate all of us.

I questioned Anthony Fauci under oath during COVID. I asked questions. He answered them. That's what congressional oversight is supposed to look like.
What Republicans did to him this week wasn't oversight. It was a humiliation ritual.

This is genuinely, like, the *oldest* lesson we have about insurance (and its conceptual twin, gambling).
After property insurance emerged in the 17th century, people almost immediately started insuring other peoples' property and then burning it down. Hence, the requirement of "insurable interest"

When RFK asks, "Can you show me one study?" it's important to note that he doesn't care about studies. He has nothing but contempt for the scientific process. He's a conspiracy theorist who profits from his anti-vaccine activism, and it is a fucking tragedy that he is in a position of power.

Maybe I'm biased living in a state (WA) with a functional public health system, but given the circumstances, I actually think the nation responded quite well to Covid.
