Thinking of the old Spart slogan today: “Finish the Civil War.”

One toke over the line and maybe you won’t notice the mutilated dead and orphaned kids.

Had she not been murdered in Rafah protecting Palestinian homes from demolition, Rachel Corrie could have become the mother of today's protesters on US campuses. They're certainly the inheritors of her fierce moral spirit and unflinching courage...

Maximum political entropy...

Worth noting that what Kupchan says here — there’s a reluctance to recognize Ukraine probably can’t win back territory and there needs to be a plan B — is what Lula said early last year. Of course, when Lula said it, Kirby accused him of parroting Russian talking points
