Lindsey Graham will go down a one of the most bloodthirsty and sadistic senators in US history. There was no moral line he wouldn’t cross, no child he wouldn’t sacrifice. Stiff competition, but he really had a commitment to evil that’s hard to match

Its mission was to use “government efficiency” as cover to fire a bunch of inspector generals and honest civil servants which enabled unprecedented corruption in federal contracts, payoffs to the Trump family, sell offs of public lands and resources etc
Julian Casablancas expanded on his recent Zionism comments in a speech at the Oxford Union.
When the Strokes frontman appeared on SubwayTakes a few months ago, he said “American Zionists get the benefits of white privileged people but talk like they are Black people during slavery.” He continued, “Just for the people that are going to be like, ‘Hamas, October 7th.’ Yes, bad. But Native American rebellions didn’t mean it was okay to do what we did. Slave rebellions that were violent didn’t mean that slavery is not bad.”
In late May, Casablancas appeared at the Oxford Union (the debating society where he previously spoke in 2021) and expanded on those remarks.
His speech began with an argument about the power of words and the need for more precise political language. He said capitalism, communism, socialism, and libertarianism have been bent and stretched to the point of losing their meaning. Then he brought up Zionism and argued that the word has become too broad to be useful, proposing more specific categories “to help avoid future discord.”
Casablancas said Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians but identified himself as a “green liner,” someone who accepts the 1967 Green Line borders. He contrasted that position with “expansionists” — “the good old settler types just shooting at Palestinians and taking homes daily.”
When an accomplished woman runs for office, she's too ambitious, too loud, too quiet or suddenly an "empty suit." This is the same tired playbook always used against women leaders. I’m over men pretending sexist double standards are "just politics." @abdulelsayed - do better.
Put aside that Goldman offers no evidence that Khalil expressed "slurs" or "stereotypical tropes" about Jews. His claim that Jews are the only people you safely defame is just bonkers. Has he ever imagined what it's like to be Somali, Haitian, Muslim or Palestinian in Trump's America?
Very sad news. A true champion of cinema, as an actor of course, but also as a producer, helping to get work by Martel, Weerasethakul, RaMell Ross and others made. I can only send best wishes to him and his family and thank him for everything he's so generously given.
Buying rent stabilized property with the goal of lobbying the government to jack up working people’s rent is such scumbag behavior. Guy is already worth $100 billion but he wanted to put families out on the street to grab a few more crumbs. Sociopathic economic system
