There is a meaningful difference, in my opinion, between hosting an event about buying land in Israel and hosting an event where it is literally sold, right there. Seeing some conflation.
Also, "Why I was protesting outside a synagogue" — again, in my opinion, you should avoid that series of words.
It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.
people are so hyped on the idea that they’ve really lost sight of what they’re demanding: that they turn their own part’s highly successful president into a Nixon-esque disgrace. yeah, he’s probably not gonna go along with it! and what then?? Dem civil war? elect Trump to prove your point?
there are some folks I know who are really, really going all in on the “Biden is a horrible monster for staying in” thing and I gotta say… what are they gonna do if he doesn’t drop? how do you climb back from that? people just are not thinking ahead, like, at all
All-time record shattered today in Las Vegas, beating the former record by 3 degrees F. Records that once seemed impossible, made possible - if not likely - by climate heating.
As I say, with climate change expect the unexpected.
Dass diese komplett banalen, vernünftigen Mindestvorschläge in diesem Land als provokanter (möchte nicht wissen, wie der Tweet auf "X" performt) Linksextremismus gilt, den keine einzige bedeutende Partei fordert, das sagt auch alles über den aktuellen Zustand Deutschlands aus.
Hier ein paar sehr gute finanzpolitische Ideen:
Erhöhung der Kapitalertragssteuer auf 50% (bei Wegfall aller Freibeträge)
Wiedereinführung der Vermögenssteuer
Einführung einer 75%igen Erbschaftssteuer ab einem Freibetrag von 1 Million Euro
We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this.

there are many reasons we need to win in the fall, but one of them is that i simply am not going to abide by letting both the brits and the french lecture us
This is incredible news out of France - the left really saved the center's bacon. It has always seemed that the true cordon sanitaire for the center and right in the amnesiac 21st century was not against the far right but the left.
Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover?
Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”
If Biden said something like this it would spell the end of not only his campaign but his current tenure. It's just one of countless examples of insane gibberish from Trump that the press & Democrats are choosing to treat as an immutable part of the electoral landscape rather than a story or issue.
Anna Lehmann: "Wir haben eine sehr hohe Vermögensungleichheit in Deutschland und reden die ganze Zeit nur darüber, wie können wir bei denen, denen es wirklich schlecht geht, noch etwas abknapsen und über das reichste ein Prozent der Bevölkerung reden wir überhaupt nicht."

If you paid attention to Trump's side of the debate, he had the same underlying problem Biden did, where over and over he would start a sentence and realize he couldn't say or remember the words that would come next, but where Biden stalled out, Trump just switched to blurting something unrelated
Donald Trump has good days and bad days but increasingly only bad days. He's lost it - he can't focus and his brains are leaking out his ears, but the press is very impressed with him because HE CAN STILL SHOUT
The 60,000 foot view of what’s happening in America is that our press can’t respond to an open fascist takeover of the GOP, including direct calls for state political violence, because of a set of deep, deep pathologies that have led it to fixate obsessively on a health scare of the Dem president
"RETRUTH IF YOU WANT TELEVISED MILITARY TRIBUNALS" is, to me, a deranged and instantly disqualifying thing for a presidential candidate to say, but on the other hand joe biden looks and sounds very old
I wish someone kept a list of all the imbeciles who said Elon Musk is a free speech hero so I could waggle a middle finger in their insipid faces until it fell off
As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Deutschland, wenn 0,4 Prozent der Bürgergeldempfänger Jobs verweigern und sanktioniert werden: 🤨😡🤬
Deutschland, wenn eine Studie zeigt, dass die Aussetzung der Vermögenssteuer für reiche Menschen das Land und die Gesellschaft 380 Milliarden Euro gekostet hat: 😴😴😴
"They're just fearmongering about Project 2025," brought to you by the people behind "They're just fearmongering about a coup" and "they're just fearmongering about abortion bans"
Man, if it turns out that the right winger telling NY Times readers that they should follow his example and not vote did in fact vote in the last two elections, the Times should add this to the piece. Better than a retraction, since it illustrates a willful hypocrisy.
