it’s the latter. they are opposed to affordable healthcare on the basic principle of “fuck them poors”
Your reminder that Republicans have had 15 years to come with their version of affordable healthcare for America and have failed and/or never intended on doing so.

It brings me small comfort to know that he’s posting like this because he sees the universal outpouring of shock and grief at Reiner’s untimely death, knows deep down he will not be mourned like that, and is unspeakably mad about it

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

Oh, the other half of the podcast is doing this shit too. With almost 8k followers.
That's fun. That's a super neat development of the online left. When antisemitic tragedies occur, automatically start talking about a "full reset" on popular culture to eliminate Zionism.

So I think I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been doing some work at a used bookstore. Yesterday I found a book which had been put it on the wrong shelf. It was a memoir by Hillary Clinton, which should’ve been the memoirs shelf, but somebody put it back on the politics shelf. So I put it back…

"Well, I guess these really were just innocent Jews, not those bad kind," say various people in Marisa's mentions. I bring news: It's not actually acceptable to murder random Zionists either (or anybody else you think holds an ideology you disagree with).

You can try to launder your "(Israeli) Jews are to blame for dead (diaspora) Jews" through "well most 'zionists' are Christians" but we see right through it. It's the same buck-passing on behalf of Jewkillers.
You don't want to admit there's jew-hate rampant in your circles, so it's gotta be an op

Happy Hanukkah to all but especially Ahmed Al Ahmed, his children, and Brad Lander for making sure we knew this
Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.

Shimon and Levi had got there early to help set up. When it started, they did what they could while it lasted.
Yehuda was looking forward to hearing about his namesake. Swifter than lions was he.

so to them it is a representation of all our stubborn refusal to end our story.

The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.
Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.
