May their memories be a blessing.
I am very critical of settler violence and think Israel needs to do far more to punish it. But that’s not what this is about.
So what appears to have happened here was an intentional political stunt by someone who has built his entire career on stunts.
@RoKhanna had his Palestinian guides take him into a restricted area that is closed off to civilians without requesting access or coordinating with anyone.
Local security (which Khanna intentionally misrepresents as random settlers) then stopped them. IDF arrived and spent time evaluating the situation. Then Israeli police showed up, determined what had happened, and let them go on their way.
No one was hurt or attacked. No one was threatened. Khanna knew going to a restricted area would get a response and he got exactly what he wanted.
I will note that if a random group goes onto a military restricted area in the U.S., they would also be detained and questioned.
Israel is to blame for letting Khanna plan out this stunt, but that’s exactly what it was. And it was predictably coordinated with the press as he had a NYT photographer with him and waited until they released a story days later to even post about it.
Khanna wants to run for president on this nonsense because he has nothing to offer Americans.
@RachelSJohnson I really enjoyed reading this. I still feel very shaken by today's news, so this was a welcome and comforting read. I'd love to read more of your insights into Ann if/when you're ready =)
@LiZaOutlives Highgrove being a private residence rather than an official residence would have been deliberate on Charles part. A clear message to those who know what such a distinction means that they are absolutely not back in the fold. Thank G-d.
I'm absolutely sickened and distressed by the murder of Ann Widdecombe. A great English eccentric and an intelligent and forceful woman who truly had a life well lived. May her memory be a blessing.
Farewell, Ann.
@Edwina_Currie I can't remember the last time the death of a public figure has shaken me life this. I'm praying she simply took a bad fall, but considering the investigation and suspect that seems like wishful thinking. This is heinous.
Calling Platner’s oyster business “totally fake”, as Maine Wire editor in chief Steven Robinson did, is hyperbolic; he does sell oysters to a restaurant his mother owns.
But Platner had told the New Republic that he hadn’t paid himself a salary from his oyster business for the past five years. It would be interesting to see if Platner’s business has ever generated any profits after expenses, and whether the Internal Revenue Service would classify it as a hobby or a business for the question of deducting business expenses. (“The IRS safe harbor rule is typically that if you have turned a profit in at least three of five consecutive years, the IRS will presume that you are engaged in it for profit.”)
PolitiFact rated Robinson’s statement “false,” based on his company’s having filed the proper paperwork with the state. Well, that’s one way to measure the legitimacy of a business, but the “no salary for five years,” “not making a living at it,” and “just one customer that is his mom” facts complicate the picture.
@TheOmniLiberal He doesn't merely flex, he has delusions of grandeur. He has literally called politics his "area of expertise" because of that degree lmao.
People are going to say Platner lost because of the rape allegation but that is not true
He was always going to lose because people with jobs don't pay attention to elections until it's time for the general. Platner's polls went from D+8 to dead even within two weeks of his nomination and that was a month before the rape allegations dropped. He would have lost by 20 because support for him was in a tailspin the second normal humans started paying attention. He was literally out of money. His donations vanished after the primary.
America's problem is that primary voters are pathetic fucking low-IQ incel freaks who have never seen the genitalia of the opposite sex in person and saddle those of us with jobs, friends, and families we care about with terrible extremist candidates year in and year out. We'd be better off if the party establishments told their bases to suck a dick and just picked the nominees for each party in a smoke-filled room
With great sadness, we received information about the passing of Dr. Eva V. Ebin, a Hungarian-Jewish Auschwitz Survivor.
Born on 31 October 1926, in Budapest, Dr. Eva V. Ebin, née Eva Szegel, grew up in Munkács, a Jewish community where only about 15 percent survived the Holocaust.
Eva was deported from Munkács to Auschwitz in May 1944 at age 17. Her mother and much of her extended family were murdered upon arrival. In November 1944, she was transferred from Auschwitz to Lenzing, a subcamp of Mauthausen in Austria, where she was liberated in early May 1945.
After the war, she raced to fulfill her childhood dream of becoming a doctor. She completed medical school in Vienna, immigrated to the United States, married, and became Dr. Eva V. Ebin, a board-certified pediatrician and psychiatrist in New York.
She died on July 6, 2026, at 99 years old, and is remembered by three of her four children, 22 grandchildren, 58 great-grandchildren, and friends for her elegance, discipline, high standards, and love.
@ageofkrakoa Not a member of the pronoun brigade throwing around a slur coined by David Duke lmao. You even just replaced the classic "dirty J3w" with Zionist lmao you guys make it so easy to spot a Nazi.
Europe’s 21st century migration patters are the inevitable denouement of 19th century colonial conquest. Don’t like migrants? Shouldn’t have colonized. Complaining about the consequences of your own actions is weird
Worth remembering that the only transfer of civilian population from Israel into Gaza in this war happened on a Saturday morning in October when 251 Israelis were taken hostage.
Also worth noting that the logical hierarchy Roth implies governing genocide and ethnic cleansing…
Madonna - Confessions II
Its been years since I last counted down the minutes for an album, and even longer since an album hasn't disappointed me on any level. Euphoric, gentle, bombastic, intimate - it has everything. And she's done it at age 67.
There is no other.
Nonsense. Federal, state, & local governments last year spent a combined $10.3 trillion. Defense accounted for less than 10% of that. The other $9 trillion overwhelmingly consisted of aid to individuals, education, and social services. And aid to Israel was 0.04% of spending.
European f-words that post American mindrot like this are so droll. Posting shit like this in the year 2026 signifies being culturally and intellectually limited to begin with, but EUROPEAN too? You live in the land of whities you retard. https://t.co/gDd4cuwfZc
