Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

But I will amend the case against crypto by adding that the crypto industry is one of the prime beneficiaries from a new regime of crony capitalism, in which an industry’s success depends on its ability and willingness to bribe the right people.

The man who promised to make America great again has probably ended our position of global leadership for the foreseeable future.

But Trump decided to start a trade war, and now that it’s happening, America will take a bigger hit than China, both to its economy and to its reputation. It’s bad when the world sees you as a bully; it’s worse when the world also sees you as weak.

Just when you thought it was impossible for American corporate media to fail any harder than it already has for a decade now, it went and called a peace deal worthy of celebration something that was neither a peace deal nor even actually a deal nor really anything that meant anything lasting at all

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

A very narrow hostage deal Trump had nothing to do with was made, after which Netanyahu immediately (a) attacked the West Bank, and (b) said the military campaign in Gaza would continue.

I literally have no idea why any media anywhere is covering the Trump victory lap as having any meaning at all.

Yeah, it's ludicrous to believe that Gaza will ever be a free country. Not as long as genocidal war criminal Netanyahu has something to say about it.

And to believe that the egotistical, senile 🍊💩 made it happen is even more insane. He just injected himself for the Nobel.

How gullible people are.🤦

As another Jewish woman in the industry, I can clear this up: It's due to her being an asshole.

Fox News host Emily Compagno claims that the backlash to Bari Weiss being named CBS News editor-in-chief is due to her being Jewish:

"This kind of thing would make me laugh if there was not an antisemitic thread in there."

From Michelle Schindell on Facebook:

Someone recently wrote me and said she didn’t like Biden at all, called him “a joke of a president,” but added that it didn’t consume her mind 24/7, nor did she feel the need to “teach” the world how wrong he was.
Fair statement.
My response is:

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?
