Bernie admitted he got Pharma money but said it was from "workers." Which workers? What does that mean exactly?

Any serious journalist would make this the lead.
"humans could have taken some steps to potentially lessen the impact of Mother Nature’s wrath. Inconsistent vegetation management, aging infrastructure and homes, and a lack of planning likely contributed to fires."

"Don't politicize" is code terminology for "don't make Newsom accountable"

I was trying to get it in youtube (isn't it public domain?) but couldn't find anything, except stuff like abridged version and renditions by school theater departments, etc. What is going on at youtube?

No map of any kind of settlements appears in a google search under that name, Can you produce one?

Perhaps you need to complain to the Jerusalem Post for spreading fake information. More seriously, what newspaper or source would you accept as credible?

Here is a map from the Jerusalem Post. Do you question that source? If so, what paper in Israel do you find credible.

The settlers have made Israel-Palestine into a defacto single state as they are grow that fact is becoming even more intractable. They are widely scattered (see below). It is not realistic to expect that they (or state of Israel) will allow foreign countries just "step in" there.

Step in would mean removing over 500K settlers who are widely scattered throughout the West Bank. That is no longer feasible. They are not leaving and they are armed. The beauty of a Swiss system is there would no reason for them leave. The settlements a permanent reality. Time for realism.

"It won’t be a two state" and "a single state is not one of them." Okay, that rules two state and one state? What is your long-term sustainable alternative?

You said that you were against two state, now it seems that you are for it. Which is it?
comment in response to

We agree. it needs to be one state. In the modern word that also eventually means one person, one vote. That's what makes the Swiss solution such as great compromise. The cantons, like in Switzerland with its official churches, could declare themselves mini-Jewish states. Win-win.

FYI, a majority of Israeli Palestinian Confederation has voted to endorse the Swiss canton model for one Israel-Palestine. The resolution and lively debate are here:

Sadly, she completely ignored the concurrent barring of Anderson from singling by the DC School board, an entity under federal control, a federally controlled entity.

There are some theories that end of the Roman Empire was similar e.g. assertion of local control.

It is possible to be wrong about Israel-Palestine, but right on other things, and on this issue, he is 100 percent correct. Those who expect people to be always consistent are guaranteed to be disappointed.

Most schools in the U.S. are also not for profit. I don't know of any in K-12 in that category, for example. Again, the meme has no basis in fact as written.

Okay, nice to know. I'm not sure how this relates to the meme, however.

The point? Wide ownership of guns, including very high- powered weapon, was essential to the success of the civil rights movement. The implied dichotomy is bogus.
