El-Sayed: This is an illegal, unjustified war—the destruction of people’s lives over there, the destruction of our livelihoods here—all for what? So Trump and his goons can trade on the probability of stock markets they’re manipulating to make money for themselves while the rest of us pay?
It is insane. It’s wrong. It needs to stop. And we need to hold him—and everybody who empowered this—accountable.
Let’s talk reality. A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out. That’s apartheid.
Nick Fuentes is a Holocaust-denying Neo-Nazi who was outside the Capitol on Jan 6th and talks about bringing down the Jews and Jewry.
Hasan Piker has said or done none of those things. You don’t have to like or agree with everything he says but to equate him to Fuentes is ridiculous and a form of Nazi minimization.
Instead, we choose to spend that money traumatizing other people on the other side of the world. Whether we like it or not, bombs with American flags on them are exploding other people's babies. After all, what's another 20 years of war, another million lives to the grinder?
Somehow every conservative in my life is adamantly "anti-war" but also supports bombing Iran. "Fuck around and find out," they say.
The cognitive dissonance is astonishing. How can you hold both of those thoughts simultaneously?
Every bomb dropped is a dozen schools that could be built or fully funded. Every jet or naval ship destroyed is billions that could have been spent on healthcare. That kind of money is capable of making meaningful, significant changes in our communities.
Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?
If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.
Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
@CLTchesscenter Danya, your love for the game was palpable. Your lessons on Twitch and YouTube gave me purpose and a sense of belonging during the 2020 lockdowns. Today, all of the chess community is grieving for you and your family. There will never be another Danya. RIP to a legend.
The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves.

I could not possibly be filled with more rage after seeing Texas Republicans blame the National Weather Service forecast for the unspeakable tragedy that hit the girls camp.
You were warned this would happen if you fired everyone!
