It's "sharia law" this and "sharia law" that — odd how you never hear anyone scream "sharia loan" when someone wants to borrow money interest-free

The East-West political divisions within the Union regarding the railroads and their barons before, during, and after the Civil War are fascinating.

He worked at NASA. Now he tails federal law enforcement on D.C. streets.
A group that has tracked the activity of federal officers since the president’s crackdown has previously been private about the effort.

The thing to understand is: those are actually two different collections of deranged voters. The first group takes the second for suckers, and the second group painstakingly forgets the first group exists
The thing to understand about MAGA is:
1. They love Hitler, Nazis, and race science.
2. They believe Israel will trigger the end times and their rapture to heaven.

yeah the basic issue is that to avoid upsetting the Trump administration, every organization combatting antisemitism has decided that literally only antizionism is antisemitism
More in my lane is how anti-semitism is now basically unregulated on social media, how any 14 year old can now find "Jewish question" content that was walled off 10 years ago... and all the energy is in banning Israel boycotts. I assure you, that's making this worse!

Trump aggressively distanced himself from Project 2025 when asked, yet it's been the blueprint to most of what's helmed since since his second inauguration. What a campaign focuses on and what its administration does after victory can (and should) be different things. Sad Biden never understood this

Yikes, if this is accurate, its basically the owner class using their power to shut down dissent. The Patriots Robert Kraft told Sheerhan his concert would be cancelled if Mackelmore stayed on the your, and that other stadium owners would follow suit.
Banned: Macklemore's powerful statement deserves reading.
