How many IDF grunts and Gazan women & children will die to keep Bibi in power a few more months?
EXCLUSIVE: Commercial satellite images show the Israeli military building up troops and equipment near the border with Gaza that would support a possible new ground invasion of the Palestinian enclave, according to three U.S. officials and a former official who viewed the imagery.
Satellite images show Israel building up forces for a possible ground invasion of Gaza, sources say
The buildup comes during a tense time for the U.S. and Israel after Trump and Netanyahu’s last private phone conversation devolved into shouting over humanitarian aid.

It *is* actually just like any other employment choice, according to the 1995 Bosman ruling by the European Court of Justice. Curious how so many people expect the black guy to be an indentured servant to their nostalgia! #LFC
And don't let anyone tell you how to feel about it. Feel free to curse him out or wish him well if that's what you're inclined to. The false equivalence of this being like any other employment choice is stupid. Don't give it any time of day #LFC
I hope the club doesn't try to protect Trent. He's going on a free and that's his choice. The club and fans owe him nothing, just as he thinks he owes us nothing. He should own his decision. He's joining a club I despise so I can't even wish him well. #LFC

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow.
I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws.
But her name was Haley.

At the risk of metaphorically dousing myself in gasoline:
There is no such thing as "luxury housing." That is a term realtors use to move units and NIMBYs use to oppose new construction. But no housing in existence will forever remain "luxury" independent of market conditions.

it is funny how much the politicized version of immigration economics discourse is "Immigrants supply labor but do not demand labor, thus lowering wages for Americans. Except in the housing market, where immigrants demand housing without supplying it, thus driving up prices for Americans"
