I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us.

And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

Robert Kraft — who's given millions to pro-Israel orgs like AIPAC — once got a $1M award from Netanyahu for helping stop people from boycotting Israel.

"Israel does not have a more loyal friend than Robert Kraft," Netanyahu said.

Now, Kraft helps kick Macklemore off Ed Sheeran's tour:

Why do US politicians talk like this? This is going to read as a dodge to everyone except people who are already on his side.
Would it kill him to actually go "If you mean trans women, and they've undergone hormone therapy, then yes. But this is a silly issue"

not my original point but it's pretty funny how libs say you HAVE to vote for democrats only, every single election without skipping one. they want only dems to be in power forever
but China is a one-party state and therefore evil 🔪🔪

If you can't even *threaten* to withhold your vote over an issue that's important to you (be it trans rights, Palestine or anything else) then you have no power in your democracy at all
I think it's good to yell at Dems when they play footsie with transphobic bullshit and also we should always vote for the Democrat.

Your Congress is making it illegal to boycott Israel. If your government singles out Israel for protection then kids will single out Israel for ridicule. Not a hard concept
Overhearing “from Tel Aviv” as an all-purpose insult is also not great, BTW!
So I was talking with a friend of mine, who is a school teacher, and it was the first day of school in her district today, and she was saying, the kids are absolutely cooking their brains on bad social justice content on the TikTok

I wanted to see what people on here were saying about the new bourdain biopic (well, "biopic") so i searched "Tony" and all I found was tony the tiger furry art. I bookmarked those too but how did everyone like the movie

sorry but the "my friend was yelled at by the encampment for wearing a kippah" reads like the down with cis bus story to me

Scott Aaronson, Alan Sokal, Aryeh Kontorovich..... imagine my shock
There’s a petition signed by more than one hundred academics (& counting!) in support of Nathan Cofnas—the racist who instigated the pile on that led to J. Arday’s death—because he lost his postdoc. Apparently there’s nothing a white man can do that deserves consequences.

i think the "AI is never okay" consensus developing on here is very off-putting to regular people, apart from being closed-minded and anti-science

Ordinary citizens donating to candidates is another alien rich-country thing to me. Here political parties are so, so much wealthier than people. So it usually flows the other way (cash/freebies in exchange for votes)

Many emigrants in this article cite growing authoritarians for their reason to leave Israel, yet none say that the mass starvation and murder of the people of Gaza impacted their decision.
