"Politics would be interesting again" Oh, jeez, I'm sorry that SCOTUS Team 6 waterboarding democracy to pave the way for a felon-messiah-king who's vowing to use the presidency to deport millions and imprison his foes for treason hasn't been INTERESTING enough for you. Let me jangle some car keys.

This Originalist™ court has effectively immunized both the president and all federal law enforcement officers from any meaningful accountability. Because if there are two things the Founders cherished, it's the power of a king-like executive and armed agents of the government to act with impunity.

Absolutely wild that the court accuses the dissent of "fearmongering" with "extreme hypotheticals" when the actual basis for the indictment is a coup attempt that led to an attack on the capitol

Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office. There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.

OPINION | The defeat of Rep. Jamaal Bowman in New York sends a clear message to current and aspiring progressive politicians throughout the country: that antisemitism is not only bad morals, it’s also bad politics.

Jamaal Bowman’s Defeat Is a Fatal Blow to the Anti-Israel Leftwww.thedailybeast.com The first “Squad” member to be kicked out of office by his party proves real progressives reject antisemitism.

You've got 9 million Israelis, not all of them Jews, who will fight to keep their nation. Either you support a sovereign Palestinian state that doesn't require killing them (which means a 2 state plan), or you do. You can see it your way, but it's based on ignoring facts.

The Jews who envisioned a non-sovereign homeland had to deal with the reality of Arab attempts to drive Jews out of Palestine several times since the 1947 Partition Plan was refused by the Arabs, so it's unsurprising no Israeli politicians are backing the idea of a single state run by Hamas in 2024.

I doubt you're aware that Palestinian Arabs bitterly opposed *all* Jewish immigration every step of the way, even as Hitler rose to power in the 1930s. Some of their leaders openly sided with Hitler. It became clear Jews would either need a sovereign nation or be driven from the land.

I'm telling you you're ill informed about Religious Zionism. The Secular Zionist vision of the Jewish homeland as a sovereign nation was up for debate right up till the 1930s, when it became clear Arabs would never agree to allow Jews to live there as a religious community.

Outsiders have no right to say "Well sure the Mizrahi Jews are indigenous, but they're wrong to recognize all other Jews as part of the same people as themselves, they shouldn't do that because I think they look too different."

Jews weren't strangers from afar who landed in the Mideast from Europe and no one knew who they were or what they were about. They were the indigenous second-class citizens who had to pay a special tax for not being Muslim, and who frequently experienced ethnic violence under their colonizers.

It takes a stunning naiveté to believe that antisemites were waiting for someone to “open the door” to blaming Jews for shit we have no control over, or that bigots “telling all the Jews to [leave]” is a recent phenomenon.

I suspect that people see change they support as unbearably slow and change they oppose as frighteningly fast. The Dobbs decision was the product of incrementalism, but people see it as sudden.

I want to tell writers that 90 percent of the time, more like 95 percent of the time, you don't need to use italics for emphasis. Maybe it's 98 percent of the time. Trust your reader to understand the pressure points of your sentences.

Starting to think calling this a "conspiracy theory" is a fundamental error. It creates the impression that MAGA personalities are in the grip of some sort of massive delusion, as opposed to consciously manufacturing a pretext to jail Dems as part of a deliberately, knowingly constructed plot.

MAGA needs to sustain the Big Lie of a justice system rigged against Trump as a pretext for him to launch prosecutions of Biden/Dems under the guise of "payback." That's why nothing is more lethal to MAGA than the justice system functioning fairly. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/1826...

They feel comfortable riding this out and waiting for allies to pressure Israel to withdraw without getting the hostages. The UN is on their side, so why should they do anything?
