@PostLeftWatch Worth pointing out which district. She didn't want to challenge Pramila Jayapal, who represents most of Seattle. She challenged Smith, who represents a smaller part of the city and a big chunk of suburbia. It's a very blue district, but not as left wing.

It’s shameful that a majority of MKs voted yes.

A bill to impeach Arab‑Israeli member of Knesset Ayman Odeh fails, falling 17 votes short of the 90 needed to remove him from the parliament.

@AGoldmund @TaylorLorenz Come on. This is bullshit and you know it. Have we forgotten white supremacists like the ones populating the current administration? That’s not about Israel or Palestine.

@BonsaiSky @TaylorLorenz You’re literally posting a guardian headline and saying no one talked about it. They did. The Guardian is MSM and I read about t in multiple outlets. Maybe sometimes you’re not paying attention.

@MattPrinciple @mattyglesias Doctors have pointed out the fallacy here. It’s because the sickest people are more likely to die. It’s only wasteful if you know it’s futile. In some cases you do. In many you don’t. You only know after the fact that it was their last six months.

@mattyglesias I never thought there was but you’re missing the point. They believe the spending is the waste. It’s a bait and switch.

@GumptionAndCo @The_IAP_ @sicarioblokhin @BrianShaposhnik @SMohyeddin This claim about Arabic is constantly made without any source and it doesn’t stand up to linguistic and historical evidence. Ben-Yehuda and his colleagues didn’t speak Arabic. Most of the Arabic in contemporary Hebrew is modern slang.

@GumptionAndCo @The_IAP_ @sicarioblokhin @BrianShaposhnik @SMohyeddin This is completely untrue. Yes, Eliezer Ben-Yehuda revived Hebrew as a spoken language — in the early 20th century. The largest source of new words was existing Hebrew roots that were repurposed. Then Latin and Greek, sometimes via Russian. Very little borrowing was from Arabic

@svd415 @rockfest @toshiHQ Congress routinely refuses IT upgrades. They're always the first to go in the budget.

@Rick_00_Love @ErrolWebber Answer: it's not. Medicare's total budget was only $1tn.

@YodaAged @UtahVedette I’d put it a different way. Feel free to throw yourself under the bus, but you don’t have the right to throw the rest of us there.

@ElieNYC No the biggest drug is whatever Trump supporting Jews are drinking. (I am Jewish and not voting for trump.) even Israel can’t explain this level of delusion.

@EitanGutin @HannahLebovits That Friedman book is probably one of the few good things he wrote. But it’s very dated. I would remove Finkelstein.

@tedcruz Sweetie, this isn't news. You mixed up your aliens. This was the plot of ALF.

When I saw this video about Jill Stein in AOC’s stories yesterday, I was shocked. Not because I thought AOC was a major Jill Stein fan, but because she used much stronger language than I expected. AOC says that Jill Stein’s approach to politics is “predatory” and “not serious.” She adds that Stein just shows up every four years, has not grown her movement at all, and is a bad leader. (Stein skipped 2020 but ran in 2012, 2016, and now in 2024)

@JoshuaBHoe @akela_lacy Not what I said. It is not a simple choice between can and can’t. And that doesn’t change the fact that the presidency is unique — and trump’s convictions and indictments are very recent.

@JoshuaBHoe @akela_lacy Repentance is not always enough. For example, my relative has been disbarred and is barred from any securities related work as they are directly related to his convictions. Being sorry will not change the fact that he is unfit to work in this capacity.
