Seattle and Vancouver people.
You mean to tell me you guys wake up in the morning and experience this EVERY. SINGLE. DAY?
The Pacific Northwest has impressed me beyond words. You don’t ever see sights like these in the South.
That Ben Gvir post that everyone is sharing aghast? It is a perfectly normal and common Israeli view, held by millions. It is the Israeli mainstream, and not extreme in the least. I grew up hearing that endlessly
If Netanyahu is indeed constrained by Trump over Iran and subsequently Lebanon, he will likely escalate killing in Gaza as he desperately seeks to save face with an Israeli public before election. There is no more dangerous version of Netanyahu than the desperate version trying to keep his ass out of prison.
Israel's total GDP is $540 billion. Iran's heavily sanctioned rump economy is $437 billion
An unsanctioned and reconstructed Iran will be many times more economically & strategically important to the world than Israel
This is why Israel finds a deal intolerable
By humiliating Netanyahu, Trump is very cleverly redirecting humiliation that otherwise would be Trump’s onto him. Never underestimate Trump’s ability to dodge responsibility. A true master at work.
It’s extra smart because the teeth gnashing from the pro-Israel camp will be so deafening and relentless and absurd it’ll drown everything else out.
And the majority of the planet, livid at Netanyahu for talking Trump into this, is happy to pile on.
There’s this bizarre tendency by Zionists to claim that a literal cabinet minister does not represent Israel’s government, while actions by random Palestinians define the entire Palestinian nation. Funny how that works
MUST WATCH: Laura Loomer was tipped off by Iranian monarchists that a woman who made anti-Pahlavi comments on Instagram was related to Qassem Soleimani and here on a green card. So Loomer gets Rubio to arrest her and her daughter and now they are in ICE detention without access to critical health care. But @ryangrim investigates and, shocker: they are not related to Soleimani! (Not that who you’re related to is supposed to matter in America…). They left Iran because the daughter was under pressure from authorities for a viral dance video! They came to the US as asylees thinking it would be better. But State Department won’t budge and Loomer says she doesn’t care if they’re not related to Soleimani because she just wants all Muslims deported.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.
“Why are leftists saying Free Palestine but not Free Iran??”
Because Free Palestine means “stop bombing Palestine”
While Free Iran is often used to mean “bomb Iran again”
.@ezraklein: “What is, to you, the ‘rage economy’?”
@JamesTalarico: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks. They have created for-profit platforms that divide us on an hourly basis — by party, by race, by gender, by religion. They elevate the most extreme voices very strategically to provoke our outrage, because that leads to more clicks, which leads to more money for them.
They are selling us conflict right into our bloodstream, and they’re calling it connection.
And I think it’s left people starving for actual community.”
