Damn. I only met Jane a few time but thought she was funny as hell. I’m thinking of that Emmylou Harris song, with the line “wrapped in the strong arms of the union.”

The attack on the Iranian consulate was an absolutely transparent attempt to make sure Biden didn’t stray too far from Netanyahu’s genocidal policies. As it obviously would, it worked.

This strategy of ridiculing trump worked so well in Republican primaries in 2016 and 2024, and in the general in 2016.

The rule implemented by Elon Musk is that as long as there is a “content warning” then evidence of war crimes is allowed to be posted. Different rule applied here to the IDF’a al-Shifa Massacre - HalalFlow locked as a result

No way Israel does this w/out expectation that US provide military back up. My understating is all Israel’s (and Iran’s) war gaming expects US involvement. Israel need US to take out Iran’s Russian-supplied anti-missile defense. W/out US support and can’t expand war regionally.

The Biden administration failing to cut off military aid to Israel has already caused a world-historical humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

Now it may directly lead to a major war.

During the massacre at al-Shifa Hospital, the Israeli army shot patients in their beds and doctors who refused to abandon the sick, separated people into groups with differently-colored bracelets, and executed hundreds of civil government employees.

This makes sense to me. Still feels filthy to have to vote for genocide and famine just to get a decent NLRB, EPA, and maybe, with luck, federal protection of abortion.

Hard to know what to make of this. I know he’s on paper the richest etc, but seems like such a clown. When ITT took lead overthrowing Allende, the company represented a real political-economic formation completing its historical moment. Musk seems like the farce. Maybe not.

Honestly did not expect upon Lula’s election that Elon Musk would be the global oligarch most hostile to the return of social democracy in Latin America’s largest nation. So much to unpack and keep an eye on here…
