Musk has tweeted 57 times since decreeing that fed employees must answer an email about what they did this week, and that it will be “taken as a resignation” if they don’t reply. If you want to pretend your tweets are legally binding announcements, you probably shouldn’t also have logorrhea

So per Bannon, Jewish people are the number one enemy of Israel, and Israeli support mostly comes from groups whose support for Israel is predicated in their belief in genocidal apocalyptical prophecy. I'm starting to think that U.S. support for Israel isn't about combatting antisemitism at all.

I have been critical of Sanders because he can be blind to his own (and his movement’s) misogyny. That being said, I think it’s clear Jeffries & establishment Dems are not up to this moment. Sanders & AOC are decisively stepping into the breach and lighting a path forward. We should follow.
