My favorite way to have chickpeas is cooled and mixed with red wine vinegar (though one could use lemon juice or other vinegars), olive oil, dill, and a little salt.

It is beyond obscene that that a manual of "evolutionary psychology" was just published, in which it tries to repackage "race science" and equates "woke leftist ideology" with Nazis.

The left isn’t weak because of infighting. The left is weak because every facet of our society and economy is geared to the benefit of fascism and white supremacy and it is the challenge of multiple lifetimes to dismantle all of that.

some other data
survey of jewish israelis: 

82% support expelling palestinians from gaza
56% support expelling palestinian "citizens" of israel
47% agree that "when conquering an enemy city, the idf should act as the israelites did in jericho under joshuas command - killing all its inhabitants"

The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

You know what we need? More milquetoast protests, more strongly-worded signs, maybe something marketable so that the vibes are stronger and one can go home with a strong sense of accomplishment. You know, something that really nails home the feeling of controlled opposition!

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath. If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.

Red states are not doing anything. States contain people. Gerrymandered people. But thank you for providing solid evidence that Blue MAGA loves dehumanizing suffering people as much as Red MAGA. We win with solidarity with all who are oppressed while you whine & lose.

It's not about one side losing and the other winning, I literally just want red states to stop fucking everyone over by electing gigantic pieces of shit while also demanding everyone's empathy when the gigantic pieces of shit prove themselves to be obvious pieces of shit.

Voting does not stop fascism. Lula isn't perfect by any means, but the fact that another Bolsonaro is this close to holding power again--even with US meddling--really shows how useless electoralism is. Watch the fascist "win" and imprison Lula on false charges again.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Building a social media platform, then treating it like your own personal fiefdom with almost zero transparency requires a kind of contradictory mentality that I can't even begin to comprehend.
