stating that Israel is engaged in an ongoing genocide against Palestinian people is a basic fact. It's uncontroversial. It's true.

The "SI" thing is was intended to provoke this exact sort of sniveling response from the courtiers, to train the oligarchs to humiliate themselves for Trump so they'll do it again later when it really matters.

For my ENG speaking followers Unprecedented High School blockades began in the outskirts of Paris in Créteil on the 21st of Sept. National mobilisations followed on the 29th of September, the 1st and the 6th of October. The movement is ongoing and has spread both in scope and scale. #tippingpoint

Cory Booker — who is being floated as a 2028 contender, and who just the other day did not deny the possibility of wanting to become leader of the Senate Democrats — promotes the book of Brett McGurk, a chief architect of the US-backed Israeli genocide of Palestine:
Cory Booker tweet:
@brett_mcgurk
 is one of our nation’s great experts on the Middle East and has spent decades working at the highest levels of diplomacy through some of the region’s most consequential moments.

I’m really looking forward to reading Brink and learning from his firsthand account of the extraordinary efforts to free the hostages, and confront the extraordinary challenges of the region.

Shouldn't the Democrats have something like an Elon Donations Tracker posted on all of their websites and social media? Make this SALIENT? Might it make sense to point out repeatedly that he is a white supremacist and ask the public why he would be backing the GOP?

It's absolutely hard for me to read and write sometimes, either due to physical issues, like pain or brain fog, or psychological issues, like grief, anxiety, or depression. The physical stuff, I can sometimes medicate my way through in an absolute pinch. But I can't take those kinds of meds daily.

With the help of prescription drugs to paper over the foot pain, I managed to write all day today. Unfortunately (and also fortunately, depending on your perspective, space- and time-wise), it was for the book, so I still don't have a newsletter piece for you all.

I fucking love that DS9 dragged some of its best characters through the worst of what they were capable of and expected them to either live with it or redeem themselves, and for us to forgive them, or simply come to terms with with their choices. Kira and O’Brien always represented this expectation.

Saw someone say the decline of Trek began during the DS9 war storyline, which, btw, remains the greatest writing in all of Trek. It didn’t torch the values of the franchise, it problematized utopian narratives about what it looks like to hold that much power, and took the realities of war seriously.

The "small price" thing seemed to be about gas, but I think he was genuinely saying, if they bomb a city, let it be one of these cities. That's my honest read, and I honestly don't understand why anyone's running defense for him.

I see some people debating what Trump was actually saying, re: Iran bombing US cities. I watched the clip, and to me it felt like, mid-thought, he sort of wandered and was saying, yeah, if they're gonna bomb a city, let them bomb one of these cities I hate, and then got back to gas prices.
