A 'k-hole' is being completely dissociated under ketamine. There needs to be as similar term for 'influencers' that disappear down the rabbit hole of their fan bases, where they become increasingly anti-social just to see who stays with them.

A really fascinating op-ed that claims Israel can turn its international image and growing isolation around with a new government, but it doesn't mention by name any of the parties or candidates who are running because none of them have any intention of doing any of the things the author recommends.

Update: Ro Khanna is now co-sponsoring Rashida Tlaib’s resolution to recognize the Nakba (the mass exclusion and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes). Now 5 new co-sponsors since last year. 14 in total.

In case people think McMorrow's campaign is just alleging that El Sayed misled the public about practicing medicine (a thing he never claimed to do), here's her campaign communications manager claiming he doesn't even have medical credentials. He has a fucking MD and Public Health PhD

Doesn't sound very diplomatic

I mean yeah, that’s what impeachment is for.

Amputees in Gaza participated in the 10th Palestinian International Marathon.

The progressive bloc in Congress, led by the same senator who is currently trying to block weapon sales to Israel, was the group responsible for rallying support for the first ever War Powers Resolution passed by both chambers of Congress— and it was about Saudi Arabia. The whininess is obscene.

Listen, I dislike liberals just as much as the next terminally online leftist, but I don't think blaming liberals for. . . . .oh, they're talking about a Canadian political party? Carry on.

Weirdly enough, the IDF chief takes credit for these amputated legs. Doesn't he know that's a blood libel???

My problem with democrats refusing to say genocide and instead saying “I think what has been done to the Palestinian people has gone too far” is that it implies there’s a medium level of killing Palestinians that is reasonable.

It's official. @ilhanmn.bsky.social is your DFL-endorsed candidate for Congress in CD5.
