I think we have established that Bari Weiss is an odious person.
But wait... it gets worse. She's an admirer of Bukele and his concentration camps, and thinks its funny that people get sent there.

“In my 20 years of incarceration, I’ve been strip-searched at least 500 times,” writes Carla J. Simmons in this powerful essay for @prismreports.org. “Early on, I found that in order to endure strip searches, it was necessary for me to detach myself from what was happening to my body.”

In my 20 years of incarceration, I’ve been strip-searched at least 500 times. Each was an act of humiliation and sexual violence

Chomsky’s writings on foreign policy have had a tremendous impact on my worldview. I’m having a hard time squaring that with the person it’s increasingly clear that he is behind closed doors.
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.
