Honestly after being on this website for some time now it is clear to me why American "leftists" are the losingest political force in our country's history. They are just fundamentally unlikeable, unserious people. As a progressive it is incredibly bleak and depressing.

Lethal injection sounds to people like its a medical process designed to spare the executed person from pain when its really a pseudo-medical sham designed to spare observers and onlookers from the reality of the violence they're committing.

If there is a hell, Paul Ehrlich is in it.
I was a college student when I read Mr. Ehrlich's
"The Population Bomb." I took it to heart and now have no grandchildren, but 50 years later the population has increased to eight billion without dire consequences. I was gullible and stupid.

Israel is extensively bombing the suburban area of Dahiya, south of Beirut. This is the namesake of the 'Dahiya Doctrine', a strategy whereby the IDF targets civilians and civilian infrastructure to put political pressure on governments they don't like. It's literally the definition of a war crime.

Trump is demanding Netflix remove former U.N. ambassador Susan Rice from its board for saying "it's not going to end well" for corporations that bend the knee to the administration. But Rice was right — and Netflix must stand behind her. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

Susan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose.
The institutions and individuals who betrayed democratic principles will bear that mark of shame well into the future.

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut
For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.
'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom?
'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break!

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it. Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie. We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about. He's pathetic.

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language." I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

An essential part of the term “blood libel” is that it was an accusation made against Jews with no proof or evidence. Those accusing the state of Israel of committing genocide have marshaled extensive evidence. It demeans the term “blood libel” to compare them.
Post from Yossi Klein Halevi: “"Israeli genocide" is the new blood libel of our time. It will haunt Jewish life around the world for years to come.
Together with Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, Rabbi Micha Odenheimer and Professor Jonathan Karp, I've written an open letter expressing "outrage and contempt" for the genocide accusation.
