happy to share this, not only because Maintenance Phase is one of my favorite podcasts, but because this episode draws on some of my work!

He conflates Muslim voters with Hamas. Bad, bad, bad.

Biden did not abandon Israel. He finally did something to stop Israel from killing so many innocent Palestinians.

Really scary scene. Don't know how he got out without a gun fight.

Fast fact: colleges are political entities even when they pretend not to be.

'The editor of the National Enquirer ... texted 'At least if [Trump] wins I’ll be pardoned for electoral fraud.''

And the owner testified 'he knew ... he was violating campaign finance laws.'

Jonathan V. Last says the NY case is stronger than its critics think. lnk.thebulwark.com/4dvhM8i

Don’t be put off by the title. This by Musa al-Gharbi is remarkable. The most-clear eyed piece on the protests I’ve seen. It neither romanticizes the protesters nor downplays their moral clarity. And it rightly excoriates Columbia, Shafik, and the economy of higher ed. Must read.

That can be adjusted for. Medical professionals of all stripes are used to working odd shifts. This would mean finally paying social workers their worth. I say it’s worth it.

Do not ever forget the context when this man speaks of war. He helped sell us into one of the most disastrous wars in U.S. history, one that ended in the death and displacement of an unimaginably large number of innocent people. He seems to not care, and has learned nothing.

She’s a racist - openly racist. He accepts the racism - proudly accepts the racism. I got nothing else for you.

Extending the Trump tax cuts would cost the U.S. $4 trillion over the next decade while disproportionally benefitting the richest households.

After making arguments that trans people are “suspiciously happy,” now the anti-trans folks are saying that our own satisfaction cannot be trusted.

Instead they intend to use “objective” measures like our employment to judge transition.

Using our own discrimination against us.

How many dead innocent Palestinian civilians must there be before anyone can say Israel has gone after civilians?

'Objectivity does not require that we treat people’s arguments or statements as if they have an equality of merit . It requires that there be equality of scrutiny,' says jelani cobb. (I like that: You apply the same scrutiny and standards to both sides.)

Ronald Reagan paused the delivery of F-16s to Israel after it bombed an Iranian nuclear reactor in 1981. Then, after Israel invaded Lebanon and bombed Beirut in 1982, Reagan refused to deliver 75 F-16s and limited military aid until Israel withdrew its troops from Lebanon.

Deputies responding to a disturbance call at a Florida apartment complex burst into the wrong unit and fatally shot Roger Fortson, a Black U.S. Air Force airman who was home alone huffpost.com/entry/police-s…

We should not question allies no matter how many innocent people they kill? Seriously?!

These are the folks claiming they care about not killing innocent Palestinians.
