Probably the most disturbing thing you regularly encounter in America is how many people have been socialized to worship the profit motive as some sort of God that holds higher value than things like children being able to play sports

I spoke with my dear friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this morning and he told me he supports universal healthcare, free college, raising the minimum wage and housing for all.

I remember telling skeptical European diplomats in 2024 that the Gaza genocide will be a formative experience for an entire generation of Americans. That the politics around Israel will change in America faster than most have expected.

And I specifically told them that the kids at the Columbia, Harvard, MIT encampments are no ordinary kids. They are the future leaders of this country. At least one of them will run for president. Several will run for Senate. Even more for the House.

It's already happening.

The ADL says the UN criticizing Israel’s actions is ‘by extension’ criticizing Jews and endangering Jews worldwide. So the ADL is violating its own preferred (IHRA) definition of antisemitism by conflating Israel with all Jews.

I teach college and here's the thing:

Writing is a materialized form of thinking. It is not just a way to record thoughts. It is a concrete route to understanding.

If one uses a machine to write, they cease thinking. They abandon a route to understanding. Not good!

Israel’s assault on Palestine and Lebanon has reconfigured how children understand the world.

It's JEWISH VOTERS that just rejected AIPAC and Israel, this little victim routine doesn't work anymore. The real victims are the babies blown up in Gaza. Grow up.
