It's disgusting. There needs to be legal recognition of all that is at stake for patients and their families. The denial of necessary care is structural violence and should be treated as such by everyone.

In interactions with authoritarians, I'm often reminded of Jean-Paul Sartre's description of anti-semites.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

Tankies follow the same underlying basis for their justifications of authoritarianism as every other stripe.

Not to be paranoid, but is this another ploy to get people to upload selfies so that they can gather training data?

Something that needs to be considered is the possibility of parallel construction in the arrest and alleged evidence

No, they very obviously could not have. Israel was intent on committing genocide regardless of what Palestinians did. You're blaming the victims of an atrocity and should feel ashamed.

I believe this is the harshest criticism that any sitting US president had made of israel since Clinton's private

who's the fucking superpower here

And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling empiricists!

If you feel the urge to argue for collective punishment just shut the fuck up. Saying 'you reap what you sow' in this case is regressive and cruel. Fascists enacted this law undemocratically and many people, human beings that you should have empathy for, are effectively held captive by the GOP which has heavily gerrymandered Florida and engaged in voter suppression and disenfranchisement. Think critically for a second and direct your criticism at the right people.

Yelp for this place

and the two reviews that it has

ITT: Animal abuse apologia

Kid Rock makes music for people who know what the age of consent laws are for every state in the country.

I get the sense that they're attracted to (some) trans women and uncomfortable about it and what they think it means about their sexuality.

I don't think explodicle was criticizing Harris, I think they were criticizing desantis for not picking up the phone and talking to the person he should be talking to

Israeli athletes could be made to compete under a neutral designation similar to Russian athletes.

The complete lack of punctuation really sells the breathless ranting style though

I disagree, the elite are right wing. They believe that there should be an in-group, the ultra-wealthy, that society supports but does not restrict. They are capitalists, both in the ideological sense and in the sense that they own capital. The most moderate or them are conservatives who see that they have benefited from the status quo and seek to preserve it. The radicals are fascists, neo-monarchists, theocrats and the like who seek a world order that is even less equal and less fair for the common person than the pseudo-democracy that we have now.

The right more broadly are the many millions of rubes that have bought into the propaganda created by and for these elites. They are those who are primed to believe their lies, because they have fear and anger that overwhelms their critical thinking, limited access to education, culturally embedded and reinforced bigotry, and privileges that they are told depend on the status quo.

As in, if trump doesn't turn the country into a dictatorship, hopefully we have a future candidate that will treat health care as a human right? 🤞

Props to Klippenstein, he's consistently been an exemplar* of good journalism
