Putin said he plans to continue the war because Ukraine "isn’t in a hurry to solve this conflict with peaceful means" So,Putin says,if "Kyiv authorities do not wish to end the issue peacefully,we will solve all the tasks that are in front of us during the special military operation in an armed way"

One of Donald Trump's favorite talking points is that #Denmark is not a good ally and that therefore, they somehow owe us #Greenland. It turns out that Denmark lost more troops per capita in #Afghanistan than we did.

A complicating factor: there are scammers=individual fakers, and there are scammers=trafficking victims, and throwing up your hands and going "I can afford the loss & I think the odds of helping someone are worth the risk" is a very different calculation in each case

Restaurant prices are up over 30% since 2019. Wages did not rise that fast. This is price gouging pure and simple. When suppliers and corporate chains raise prices beyond what the market can bear, then call it what it is. #1u

While I do think that Jews will have to do a lot of reckoning with the way institutional Judaism reoriented itself and so many Jews toward Zionism, I think right now all of our energy has to be focused on supporting Palestinians right to live, to peoplehood, to dignity, to peace with justice.

I've been asked a few times about Peter Beinart's book *Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza* so I'm going to say a few things about its existence (I haven't read it/probably won't): 1. Read Palestinian authors 2. The destruction of Gaza isn't over 3. Jews stop centering themselves challenge
