Brother Amin Abdullah was the guard at the mosque in San Diego for years. He was instrumental in stopping the shooters from reaching the children today. This was his final post on FB. On these holiest days, may Allah have mercy on him and accept him as a martyr. Ameen
@pritish_iyer I think that’s true for healthy individuals. But isn’t impaired mitochondrial function a hallmark of many diseases? If so, may still be beneficial for people with certain conditions
After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal#FreeBenAndJerrys
You just kidnapped this man off the street because you didn’t like his speech, threw him in a cell for 104 days, ignored court orders, & denied relief so he had to listen to his wife birth their child over a phone.
And now YOU want to call HIM the terrorist?
Look in the mirror.
Thankful for everyone who’s shown their support today — incredible start to this race.
But we’re just getting started. We can’t do this without you, so please chip in if you can at https://t.co/tM7LKdbl8g.
@VikJindal@fejau_inc Would depend on the alternatives available to me. I’d imagine most foreign countries would still see the US as the safe haven here. They’d also still get paid out through maturity on their current Tbill/Tbond investments (at least if I’m reading the OP correctly)
@VikJindal@fejau_inc Curious why. Wouldn’t recession fears mean more capital rotating into Treasuries -> lower borrowing costs -> ability for the US to lock in cheap rates on ultra long dated bonds? If so, seems like that would be stabilizing rather than destabilizing, right?
Free trade didn’t cause the decline in American manufacturing and the American middle class. Import taxes (tariffs) won’t solve either decline — they’ll only make the plight worse
How to bullshit with numbers 101
@shellenberger doesn’t get that *annual* rainfall in DTLA is meaningless. “Climate change” results in more frequent EXTREME events. And the last few months have been EXTREMELY dry
Most rainfall in the last 12 months occurred last Feb
Some reporters and scientists are blaming climate change for the lack of rain in LA. It's ridiculous. There's no trend in annual rainfall from 1877 to 2024. We have wet years and dry years.
Climate change isn't responsible for the LA fires. Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are.

“The word 'apartheid' is exactly accurate…they are absolutely and totally separated."
I will remember Jimmy Carter as one of the only US Presidents to speak honestly about Palestine.
Democrats: “of course I’m willing to vote for genocide. All that matters is that we beat Donald Trump.”
But you didn’t beat Donald Trump.
All you did was normalize genocide and let everyone know genocide wasn’t a deal breaker for you.
And in exchange you got nothing.
@AdameMedia@shesgotawy Exactly
We owe the Dems nothing. We made the bar as low as it could be and they still failed. Trotting out Bill Clinton to patronize Arabs in Dearborn and campaigning with the Cheney family were extraordinarily dumb strategies
Never take the minority vote for granted. The Harris campaign alone is responsible for its embarrassing performance in Dearborn, Miami, and other minority-majority communities
