I kinda feel like now that the Supreme Court has declared it legal for a president to straight-up murder people they don't like, it's probably even more important to not elect people who seem extremely inclined to murder people they don't like

According to an Israeli study, the proportion of civilian deaths in Gaza by the IDF is the highest of any conflict in the 20th century. So congrats to all the sick fucks who have been either downplaying or gaslighting or outright funding this. This is your legacy forever.

Personally, I think writing something like "they're not deliberately targeting children, they're just indiscriminately bombing entire neighborhoods where many children live" ought to get you run out of town

I dunno man I feel like if you’re going to argue that Israel massacring 7,000+ Palestinian children is morally superior to Hamas killing or kidnapping 100 Israeli children, you don’t *have* to explain why directly to the grieving parents, but you sure as fuck should do it in your NYT column

GOP Party Chair Ronna McDaniel said the party would support Donald Trump as their presidential nominee, even if a jury convicted of a crime, if their voters chose him. Do you hear how crazy that sounds? Their party has lost all moral bearing years ago.

I spent this morning at a pre-poll campaigning for YES. I was absolutely gobsmacked to overhear old Liberals for no repeating the lie about voter fraud. Dutton’s cultists really are stupid and dangerous.

Genius! Make it so ABC.

Should we start a campaign to have Dan Andrews take over as host of Q+A next year? Just to really mess with a few heads. 😄
