Good data. Personally, I would never let my primary residence be a higher % of net worth than my portfolio

Would you? Why? I want you to ask yourself these Qs. They’re examples of $30,000 questions (or even $3 million questions)

“Can I afford this coffee” is a $3 question

Here is racist POS Republican & fake ‘man of the people’ @SenJohnKennedy saying today in Michigan that @AbdulElSayed goes to sleep in a ‘Bin Laden jersey’. The racism & incitement is off the charts. @MikeRogersForMI just chuckles.

Michigan deserves better than a rebranded KKK.

Once again, Trump says the silent part out loud: The US's attack on the ICC is not to defend Trump or American soldiers, but to defend Netanyahu and Israeli officials accused of war crimes.

Thus, the US is once again going to war with international law to defend Netanyahu and Israeli crimes, and by doing so, sacrificing the US's own global standing and its own interests for the sake of Israel.

⭕️ US sanctions the International Criminal Court, threatening to “dismantle it brick by brick”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Thursday that the United States is imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court, banning transactions with the body and cutting off its resources in what he described as a response to the court’s pursuit of jurisdiction over American citizens.

“Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC,” Rubio said in a statement, calling on US allies — many of whom are ICC member states — to “rein in the court” or face a continued US campaign to dismantle it.

The ICC has issued arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over war crimes in Gaza. Trump had previously clarified the administration’s real objective in July at Camp David, interjecting as Rubio spoke: “He’s trying to defend Bibi and various other people.”

At a loss for how depraved this is.

Poll after poll has shown how 80-90% of Jewish Israelis have supported the genocide of Palestinians (as well as believe in expelling Palestinians, that there are no innocent Palestinians) but this ‘education charity’ seeks to “deradicalize” Palestinians and now is using AI to monitor the speech of kids.

Of course it’s going to be sent to Israel.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Two of the three people Danon cites here are a terrorist and a war criminal.

Pillay, unlike Begin and Kissinger, never killed or ordered the killing of anyone. She is however an expert on genocide, having sat on the International Tribunal for Rwanda, and she says Israel is committing genocide.

Which is why so many Israeli officials are losing their shit online today with her getting the Nobel Peace Prize.

***ANNOUNCEMENT***

Coming on December 15th on #4K/Blu-ray dual format in the US from @CohenMediaGroup via @KinoLorber distribution: The #BusterKeaton Collection Volume 1 (1926/1928)!

Cohen Film Collection is proud to present 4K restorations of two of Buster Keaton’s greatest works, both featuring orchestral scores by Carl Davis. Many critics consider THE GENERAL to be the last great comedy of the silent era, and it consistently ranks as one of the greatest films of all time on international critics’ polls. Set during the Civil War and based on a true incident, the film is an authentic-looking period piece that brings the scope and realism of Matthew Brady-like images to brilliant life. Keaton portrays engineer Johnnie Gray, rejected by the Confederate Army and thought a coward by his girlfriend (Marion Mack). When a band of Union soldiers penetrate Confederate lines to steal his locomotive, Johnnie Gray sets off in pursuit. And in STEAMBOAT BILL, JR., as the son of a steamboat captain, Buster falls in love with the daughter of a rival steamboat owner. When a cyclone rages, Buster proves himself a hero by rescuing his love and her father from a watery grave.

Reflections on THE GENERAL

What a coward this man is. He is attacking the ICC for Netanyahu, even Trump told us all this much. But Rubio is too spineless to admit this so he pretends it is about protecting the US from the ICC.

John, habibi. I guess you didn’t see his face after the debate. He looked like you did when you lost the 2020 election, utterly defeated.

Did he call you afterward and beg you to tweet this? Did he beg you to come save him in Michigan?

You’re welcome to remind everyone how sad you both are together. Stale, weak, pathetic.

I’ll be talking about gas, groceries, and healthcare. The things you broke—that we’ll have to fix.

The level of income and wealth inequality in the U.S. is beyond insane.

The top 0.00001% (just 20 households) now owns over $4 trillion — more than 12 times the wealth of the bottom 50% COMBINED.

We must defeat oligarchy. Billionaire wealth tax NOW.

When Jake Sullivan was told of South Africa's opposition to the US's support for Israel's Genocide in Gaza, he responded: "Fuck South Africa"

When the Nobel Committee was told of South Africa's Navi Pillay's work to hold Israel accountable for its genocide, they gave her the Nobel Peace Prize.

This is a rebuke of BOTH the Trump AND the Biden administrations' efforts to undermine international law.
