Activists say Israeli soldiers have prevented them from delivering aid to Palestinians who have been besieged by settlers outside their homes in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra for nearly a week. We spoke to Jonathan Pollak from the Sumud Network.

I'll never stop wishing that Biden had called their bluff on presidential immunity. The country needed a reminder of why that decision was a terrible idea.

That whole thread is completely brain-dead. Comparing the DSA to the TEA Party is idiotic on so many levels.

Maybe the search tool is just terrible, but I couldn't find a single email to or from Trump in the files. Are we to believe they never once emailed each other?

It is entirely possible to have a friendly conversation with someone who wants to do terrible things to people for stupid and selfish reasons. But why would anyone want to?

Good luck! I'm not sure if it helps, but take it a few minutes at a time? Every time you feel a craving, ask yourself if you can tolerate it just five more minutes. At the end of that five minutes, see if you can handle five more. Do that enough times and six months will pass.

Some things don't need to be debated because we already know from history that the only people who want to debate them want to create misery. Some speech ought to be out of bounds.

richardrob.bsky.social @richardrob.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

Freedom of speech exists to ensure the government and those in power can be criticized. It doesn't exist so those in power can further marginalize and oppress the already marginalized and oppressed.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Even if that's true, what you're complaining about is people using their freedom of speech to convince their colleagues of their position. Why do you hate free expression?

Other nominated books were also rejected, for a variety of reasons. In this case, it was because it's ignorant reactionary garbage not fit to line my compost bin. Cry harder.

The point is they don't have to outnumber us to do terrible things. If we want them to stop doing terrible things, we have to actually stop them. Which will be easier to do now before their numbers grow.

Their stance on minimum wage suggests they expect everyone else to work for free, so probably not.

Even a house is kinda peculiar. For most of human history, if you wanted to build a house you picked a nice spot where there wasn't one and built one there. If you found a house with no one living in it, welcome home.
