Everyone needs to read this. Reality is, in fact, stranger than fiction. Reality is worse than anything we can say about these people in a few words, media appearances, op-eds, or other conversations. Read the whole thing. ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/urbits3/sitf...

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

The Israeli demand to strip NAZA filmmakers Abraham and Szor of citizenship so that they can be executed, their homes demolished, and their families expelled is neatly illustrative of how and why the apartheid state renders Palestinians as non-human www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

A speaker at the demonstration also called to execute the film's co-creators, Szor and Yuval Abraham, while the crowd chanted
"Execute the traitors.' The man also called for their families' houses to be
demolished.
"When they return to Israel, they should be put on trial and sent to the gallows.
And their family should be deported and their home sealed, just as is done to terrorists," a man said through a megaphone.
"That is the only solution for traitors.
There is only one language to use with traitors. We're tired of being on the defensive. The people of Israel need to go on the offensive so that the next person knows not to mess with IDF soldiers."
