Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

We now have a responsibility to separate Jewish people from Israel. Israel's government is responsible for Palestinian genocide and should pay the price.

In the end, Israel lost.

It didn’t defeat Hamas, but it did demolish global good will towards it and its future.

It achieved NONE of its strategic objectives and lost an entire generation of future decision makers.

Palestine tragically lost many many innocent lives,

Governor and a Senate seat is the best NC can do. State government has a firm gerrymandered grip on the state.

Thakman📎 @thakman.bsky.social · 10h

Democrats leaning into gerrymandering is not a winning proposition. There are more red controlled states and they are all following the Fascist Fuck's orders.

Basically, 2 players worth $344 million beat the #Brewers $121 million team.

A great example of what payroll disparity means. At some point, the $160 / $180 / $365 / $700 million player is gonna do the thing.

And if you have that many of them, eventually, one (or two) of them will beat you.
