On October 7, 2023 Palestinians invaded Israel and slaughtered civilians. Israel is a very small country. To understand the impact of that day, imagine it happening somewhere else.

If you believe that Israel is a “settler colonial state” then you must agree that has it the same legitimacy as other states on “conquered land” such as the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand plus most states in the Caribbean, Central & South America and many in Asia and Africa. Right?

I agree. Mr Trump understands how his enablers think, and continually finds ways to keep them onside.

Season ten man. SEASON TEN. Apparently we've done something like 120 episodes and nearly every one of them nearly killed me.

I’m just a lawyer who knows that words have meaning, so tries to use them accurately. The mis-use of “genocide” with Gaza is no accident of course, because it inaccurately accuses Israel of the very kind of crime that killed 6 million Jews. It is a deliberate anti-Semitic slur.

It’s a photo of victims at Dachau. You apparently need to see it to know what a genocide actually is. Events in Gaza meet no definition of the word “genocide.” If you called Gaza “a ham sandwich” or “basketball practice” you would be just as accurate.

This is what a real genocide looks like.

The word "genocide" was coined to describe the extermination of 40% of the world's Jews (6 million) in the early 1940s. Today, some call 50,000 civilian deaths in the Gaza war "genocide." Why? Because it so offensive to Jews. Calling Gaza "a genocide" is anti-Semitic. That's the point of the word.

He may be the mad king. You’re a closer observer than I am. But it’s possible Trump is now, what he has always been: a grifting Russian asset employed to weaken or cripple America. Or perhaps both.

Trump is not representative of a majority of American opinion or its dominant values. America is in the grip of a mad king. Much of the blame rests with cynical enablers in the GOP, Congress, media and the funding elite, who profit from Trump’s cruel and corrupt circus.

The world has lost Wendell Berry. He was a craftsman with words, and among the most wise and prescient of philosophers. Berry would say, rightly, that it is the nature of all beings to pass on. But he has earned himself a place in eternity too. He lit the torch. We must carry it on.

Trump's tariffs targeted Canadian sovereignty: he sought to control Canada's ability to make agreements with other countries, and to interfere with internal policies. U.S. states would balk at such restraints. It was not a good, or a good faith, proposal.

The passing of Dolly Parton brings genuine sadness to my family. We all liked her. Ms. Parton was a compassionate, intelligent and classy person, whose talent and work ethic served her well as a songwriter, vocalist, actor and businessperson over 6 decades. She made people happy.

We cannot win a punching match with the USA. In a one-sided struggle, the smaller combatant must fight back asymmetrically. Canada must startle the U.S. with small, sharp shocks of unexpected pain. Get Americans’ attention and enlist THEM in our struggle against Trump.

A lot of people say there was a genocide in Gaza. They're all wrong, and in fact no official body that has studied events there, calls it a genocide. For information on what a real genocide is, start here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hol...

There has been no genocide in Gaza. To rely upon one awful quote from one moronic politician, as “proof” only shows how desperate you feel to prop up the big lie. It is unfortunate. That said, you are a very fine actor whose work I have long admired.

But for someone to work for a cruel, corrupt and bigoted regime, only to be cruelly fired because that regime is bigoted, well that carries with it more than a little poetic irony, if not justice.

You’re absolutely right about who is responsible - the voters and the non-voters. But individuals who made uniquely important contributions deserve special opprobrium.

It is appropriate to feel compassion for Joe Biden as he suffers illness, while rightly faulting him for his role in restoring Trump to power.

The death of anyone, especially a child, is tragic for any family. But the so-called “right to life” movement is really a “right to make others suffer while I indulge in denial and fantasies” movement.

The word “genocide” was coined to describe the systematic murder of 6 million Jews. To mis-use it to describe Israel’s defensive war, that has killed perhaps 1-2% of Gaza’s civilian population, is inherently anti-Semitic. Serious people should stop uttering this ugly smear.

There are two ways out of the war: 1. Abject surrender, while claiming victory. 2. Winning it. As with all Trump enterprises, option #1 is the most likely.

Lindsay Graham’s domestic politics were wrongheaded, and his surrender to ambition was pathetic. He had the capacity for goodness, but betrayed himself. He was the definition of a tortured soul. May he rest in peace. An object lesson for all of us.
