To keep track, the proposer of the Green's "Zionism is Racism" motion: - Wants Hamas de-proscribed - Said that God willing, a time will come when Zionists "are hunted in the same way as Nazis...We will retake freedom, it won't happen without force" - And this - www.jewishnews.co.uk/zionism-is-r...

The pro voter ID ad that just ran during the SF Giants game was financed by Nicole Shanahan, who had an affair with Elon Musk while she was married to Google founder Sergey Brin. She was then RFK Jr.’s VP running mate during his presidential campaign. I hate everything BTW.

Yep, the connection between the Hamas murders, torture, and kidnappings on 10/7 and Israel's response is the same as the connection between the Hanseatic League and Israel's response to 10/7.

This suggestion that there is no connection between the Hamas mass murders, torture, and kidnappings on 10/7 and Israel's response and these are two different conversations should be embarrassing.

I personally was never going to be attending an ed Sheeran concert anyway but I never forgot this resulted in zero accountability for Macklemore back in the day beyond a weak apology. If consumers choose to boycott Sheeran, so be it, that’s the free market.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

Sotomayor comes very close to calling the supermajority a pack of liars for claiming in Callais that they weren’t requiring proof of discriminatory intent then turning around and doing exactly that here. This is a remarkably blunt and caustic accusation. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
The majority’s order grapples with virtually none of this.
Indeed, it does not even acknowledge that the District
Court’s discriminatory-intent finding is reviewed for clear
error. Much of its reasoning rests on its assertion that, even
as to the plaintiffs’ Fourteenth Amendment claim, “the Dis-
trict Court’s analysis departed from Callais.” Ante, at 3.
That is wrong twice over. First, Callais “said not a word
about the standard for Fourteenth Amendment intentional-
discrimination claims.” Caster, 608 U. S., at ___
(SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 4). Instead, Callais
was focused on changing the Court’s law on “exactly what
§2 of the Voting Rights Act demands,” not what the Consti-
tution demands. 608 U. S., at ___ (slip op., at 19). Second,
Callais said that its newly fashioned test for §2 disparate-
impact claims is not an intent-based test. It acknowledged
that §2 “does not demand a finding of intentional discrimi-
nation.” Id., at ___ (slip op., at 23). It also denied JUSTICE
KAGAN’s charge that the majority’s new test was an intent
test in all but name. Id., at ____ (slip op., at 35). It is hard
to see how the District Court’s finding of discriminatory in-
tent under the Fourteenth Amendment could have de-
parted from an opinion that purported to say nothing about
how to find discriminatory intent under the Fourteenth
Amendment. The Court’s apparently oblivious insistence
to the contrary today cannot be squared with what Callais
said on its face just over one month ago. See id., at ___, n.
5 (KAGAN, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 25, n. 5) (“[T]he major-
ity closes its opinion by suggesting it is not requiring a vote-
dilution plaintiff to present evidence of ‘discriminatory in-
tent.’ Which, if true, would be welcome news” (citation
omitted

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.
