Lula is 80 years old and has been president for 12 of last 24 years. Much like Biden, his age and having been part of the ruling power for so many years have hurt him.

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

I have no illusions that NYT would ever offer me a job, nor do I want one. But they may want to consider that their unwritten policy of not crediting previous reporting (the way everyone else in journalism does!) may be costing them the hiring of great journalists they actually do want.

I am deeply saddened that the "Zionism is Racism" motion has passed.
As Greens, we will always uphold universal human rights.

We will never tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.

We will continue to stand in opposition to genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the illegal occupation.

We will continue to call out the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government.

And we will continue to work to ensure that the Green Party is an anti-racist party in every way. 

We know there is no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people.

Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"
Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."
