Someone has to make the first move toward peace and that must be the colonial powers. If they actually help build Palestine the Palestinian people will support it. It doesn’t make up for past atrocities but it would signal that the attempt to erase the Palestinian people is over.

What does this mean? You just voted to condemn socialism. Socialism is Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Socialism is government coming down on the side of unions and making the 1% share their wealth with those who built it for them. Socialism is standing up for regular people everywhere.

It’s absolutely essential to raise revenue to deliver for the people and show that government can work. Anyone who says otherwise need only look where the country is now: crumbling public services and an angry and rising far-right.

Is the bigger threat that the LLM will tell you something you’re not supposed to know or that it will only tell you things the owner wants you to know?

One wouldn’t think someone accused of crimes against humanity would be eligible for pre-trial release.

OK but where were the authorities *before* this happened? How many passed by these buildings and saw the code violations and did nothing?

More than a couple of these “countries of concern” are just victims of US imperialism.

I think things are better since the ceasefire. Certainly Israel continues to violate the ceasefire. The World Food Program has brought in 40,000 tons of food since the ceasefire began.

There are two problems with our approach: We can’t defeat things that can’t be defeated, and we can’t use violence against things that can’t be defeated without normalizing violence.

Belgium doesn’t want to seize Putin’s money. UK granted itself a waive to continue doing business with Russian oil companies. Germany wants to put a Ukrainian on trial for blowing up Nordstream. What is Europe going to do to put Ukraine in position to make the demands Europe says they should make?

Looks like the Democratic party is the Tesla of politics.

There may be an extension of some of the enhanced subsidies but Republicans will demand something in return. We have to see the final package before we declare victory.

In case anyone wonders why Europe can’t get it together to win, I present Mr. Magoo here who can’t see the forest for the trees.

Very familiar with the low-power mode. Wish there was a way to turn on the high-power mode.

Love to be lectured on what’s unrealistic by someone who gets paid seven figures to tell me what’s unrealistic.

I worry less about consolidation in shrinking industries than consolidation in growing industries.

Tax Raid = Small adjustment to a regressive benefit to fund crumbling public services.

I think the argument he’s trying to make, and he’s not being clear about it, is that this was a deep state leak. But it could also have been a Russian leak (my bet) or another country that has compromised our secure communications.

Trump is turning this negotiation over to Witkoff and Kushner because neither Rubio nor Vance wants to own what is likely to be a very bad deal.

This small number of people can’t swing the election (which is rigged anyway) but I guess it removes one possible criticism of the inevitable result.

He probably leans into the idea that he’s stressed out to discourage people from asking him for stuff.

No one’s looking at these deals anymore to make sure they’re in the public interest and I suspect most of them are not.
