A very good point. It can’t end with merely stopping the war, returning hostages, and disarming Hamas. There has to be justice and accountability as well. At minimum, dismantling of illegal settlements, full withdrawal from EJ, WB, and Gaza, a full right of return for Palestinians, and reparations.

The State of Israel had already been occupying East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza for approximately 20 years prior to the founding of Hamas in 1987. In that time, over 250,000 Israeli Jewish settlers were embedded in the occupied territories. Why would it be any different if Hamas dissolved?

You had Obama's drone strikes on civilians and setting records for deportations and corporate bailouts. Because Democrats have this insane notion that they're going to win over the right or at least the center-right without alienating their left flank. But they don't care. They serve capital not us.

If anything, they'd be even more effective at carrying it out because they're (well, with several exceptions) more competent. And they'd have to be even more ruthless because nobody has the cult leader charisma to pull off the unwavering devotion. Or perhaps they anoint Charlie Kirk. Who knows! 🤷🏻

It's insane. I don't think most anti-Zionists are antisemitic, but all too often, instead of condemning specific acts or policies or treating history somewhat intelligently, many go right to tropes and smears and generalizations about Jews or deny our origins, and that is very much antisemitism.

No, we were enslaved or exiled. At the time the Romans did this, they intentionally renamed Judaea to Syria Palaestina to mock us by naming it for the rival Philistines. Yes, some Jews became Christians or Muslims, but the majority lived in exile for nearly 2000 years. We have genetic proof.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people. These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

Screenshot of two tweets from Matt Walsh’s verified Twitter account (@MattWalshBlog). First tweet (17 hours ago): “It’s time to have a national conversation about common sense restrictions on transgenders.” The tweet has 1.3K comments, 3.8K retweets, 42K likes, and 1M views. Second tweet (18 hours ago): “It wasn’t all that long ago that anyone who identified as the opposite sex would be involuntarily committed to an insane asylum. Does anyone at this point seriously think that our current approach is an improvement?” The tweet has 666 comments, 1.9K retweets, 21K likes, and 362K views. First tweet is by Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles), reposted by Christopher F. Rufo. It reads: “For the good of society and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen prey to this delusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely—the whole preposterous ideology, at every level.” The tweet has 816 comments, 2.4K retweets, 17K likes, and 379K views. Second tweet is by Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo), 20 hours ago: “The trans cult hatched such an enormous propaganda campaign, that, for a number of years, they were able to obscure an obvious truth: pumping kids full of synthetic hormones, while telling them they can change from boy to girl, will only end in tragedy or disaster.” The tweet has 878 comments, 1.5K retweets, 9.2K likes, and 120K views. Third tweet is also by Christopher F. Rufo, 20 hours ago: “We should now put to rest the libertarian delusion that transgenderism is a matter of ‘personal choice,’ or ‘live and let live.’ It’s an ideology that has done grave damage to millions of Americans, and has unleashed a nihilistic wave of violence on our society. Enough.” The tweet has 921 comments, 1.5K retweets, 9.6K likes, and 293K views.

🚨ICE agents are racially profiling and arresting Hispanic drivers in the DC area today, targeting work vehicles like trucks and vans. A friend who was targeted sent me video today. Here’s a picture that shows one of two agents before he pulled on his mask. Unmarked black Ford truck, plate: NTV9211.

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

i’m a parent and the kids who died are the same ages as my own, 8 and 10. and they until recently went to a jewish day school. so i absolutely understand the logic and desire and empathize, but i don’t know that during a fascist takeover is the best time to lobby for gun control.

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

The Hitler mustache with the Mussolini inspired slogan. What’s not to love if you’re a committed fascist? 🤷🏻

A whistleblower has revealed that the Trump administration is uploading the confidential Social Security information of millions to an insecure cloud server, putting our data at a high risk of being leaked or hacked.

Now I'm almost entirely on macOS. I don't mind Windows 11 but I only use it at work. I have a few Linux machines for special purposes: an HTPC running Bazzite, an RPi 4 with Batocera, and an Atari VCS 800. But that's it. macOS has been "no muss, no fuss" and the seamlessness among iDevices is sweet.

Most distros don't have good QC because it's a PITA to do that with your components coming from disparate places and having to rely in many cases on rapid bleeding edge release cycles or unpaid volunteers and hobbyists. Mainstream OSs are generally solid now, and most OSS ports fine if you need it.

When my alternatives were essentially: Amiga, OS/2, MacOS (Classic), or Windows 3.1 or 95, I was very happy to use Slackware and even happier to use FreeBSD. Then Windows NT 4.0 changed everything, and Win 2000 after that. And then Mac OS X started to become more stable and usable.
