No doubt Gaza has BECOME the predominant explanation for Biden opposition among his haters, but all the polling evidence suggests most of those people already opposed him before.

Gorsuch 'borrows', with examples cited as 'sloppy', and definitely keeps his job, while Claudine Gay 'plagiarizes' and is forced out. The differential treatment of Gorsuch compared to Gay, and the ultimate consequences, are so ridiculously obvious. www.politico.com/story/2017/0...

The real John Brown was smart enough to understand electoral politics and propaganda. He killed slavers in Kansas because there was an election to win and they were interfering in it.

The Biden-Harris administration has been by far the best in terms of climate change, endangered species conservation, and science-based environmental management decisions. It’s not close. As a conservation policy scientist, I’d be strongly supporting them even if Trump wasn’t the alternative. 🧪🌎

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it. The law only ever serves capital.

The war in Gaza may widen. The Biden admin is getting ready for it.
That could put President Joe Biden in the center of a messy Middle East conflict in the midst of a bruising re-election campaign.

when I say the law doesn’t matter, I want to be clear that I mean that pretty literally. you can’t legislate or litigate your way out of this. they’ll take a word and just pretend it means the opposite if that fits their policy preferences.

I’ve had conversations where republicans talk about, for example, the lab leak as though it’s settled science. if I had to guess, this is because right-wing media simply recites this all as fact, while mainstream media equivocates. they leave with the impression that the other side has conceded
