Yeah no one can ever criticize Kaep again.

They blacklisted him for protesting exactly those kinds of things.

That's a yikes if true, though I always take these things with a grain of salt.

More importantly, can we talk about what an evil organization the NFL is for continuing to exploit their athletes of all ethnicities as we learn more about the longterm effects of CTE?

a. like every non-arab party supports illegal settlements and opposes palestinian rights
2. it's an extremely broad coalition that won't do anything controversial at all because it would shatter otherwise and they don't want likud back in control again

Yeah, I mentioned that back when I first posted that the rumors of that coalition government were forming that the deal looked to name a guy to the right of Netanyahu to replace him as PM.

Will need to see if the details of the tentative coalition have changed since that news broke about 5 days ago but assuming it holds what happened was a coalition that spreads across the idelogical spectrum (left, right, and center) basically got together for the purpose of removing Netanyahu. The thing with Bennett being PM is that while his far-right party is smaller in composition, the votes it brought were still enough to cross the tipping point to oust him so he had leverage.

The deal, as reported then, would put him as PM until 2023 and then a more moderate one after that until 2025 IIRC.

In the meantime the only real hope is the fact that while they've installed an even more far-right PM - the fact that the coalition is more composed of moderate parties than his own means he'll be forced to moderate. ...Which isn't a great hope, but that's the world we live in.

OTOH, I'm pretty sure this coalition formed solely for the purpose of ousting Netanyahu so maybe it just disintegrates shortly after forming since they don't appear to have much else holding them together and we end up right back at square one.

It's fascinating seeing progressives defend Palestine. It really is.

And no this is not me defending Israel at all, so please don't take it as such.

If youre not defending Israel I have literally no idea what youre supposed to be saying here.

the things you mention are kind of irrelevant to the question of whether or not its ok for Israel to haphazardly drop bombs that kill a bunch of civilians.
unless your premise is that its good for Israel to drop these bombs because the bombs destroy buildings and if there are no buildings left, theyll have nothing to throw gay people off... the issues arent connected.

I don't think anyone is defending the fact that Israel are bombing innocent civilians, moreso just pointing out that Palestinians are doing the exact same thing and have been since 1948. The only way this conflict ends is if both sides agree that the other deserves to live freely in that region, which is a stance neither side will ever take.

Yes, a war between two evils is still a war that leaves dead civilians in it's wake.

Both the Israeli and Palestinian establishments suck.

All the inhabitants of both deserve not to have missiles aimed at them.

It's hardly a galaxy brain take.

Oh, right. A former (lost in 2018) local state senator is trying to primary Abbott.

Trump came out and endorsed Abbott this week, which prompted the guy to make a statement literally saying "I am the clear Trump candidate in this race"

So my Mom was recently hospitalized for a week. She made a full recovery, and she has very good health insurance, so everything turned out great.

And we're damn lucky she has very good insurance because the total hospital bill we got was $89,000.

One of the dumbest parts of healtcare is the bills are in Monopoly money because they know insurances wont pay that much but they never want to be under paid so they deliberately priced high.

which is fine if you have insurance

You'd think that, but all the uneducated checkmarks on Twitter/Reddit and even here have proven that this might as well be a "galaxy brain take" for how rare it is.

The thing that take is forgetting is that the Palestinian establishment being Hamas is a symptom/side-effect of Palestinians being essentially captives of Israel.

If they were a properly supported nation, the military wing of the Palestinian authority wouldnt have so much power.

Interesting judge split on a SCOTUS case on the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act:

https://twitter.com/mjs_dc/status/1400452769367040000?s=21

Liberals + Trump judges rule that the CFAA does not apply when one uses info on a computer one has legitimate access to for an illegitimate purpose; they actually need to have accessed something that they werent allowed to access at all.

The way I understand it, conservatives have no idea what they did wrong just because they did the same things they did in 2016 and are baffled at them not getting the same result, so instead of realizing the situation was very different and that their 2016 victory was so fragile they just take to conspiracy theories.

I have no hope this moves Manchin or Sinema but good, it's about time Schumer does this. If they can be moved at all this was the only way.

Of course as the article notes, this is the tactic Reid used to convince Senate Democrats to eliminate the judicial filibuster in 2013 when the GOP was obstructing... but Manchin was one of the holdouts back then even after what Reid did.

Why does Trump want to run for a House seat himself? There's no rule saying the Speaker has to be a member of the House. Why not just run a national campaign based on "Trump for House Speaker" and travel around doing rallies for pro-Trump candidates? It's a better fit for Trump's campaign style, it would be less work if he wins, and it means not having to run in the Democratic-leaning district where he currently lives.

An April poll by Pew found that 60 percent of Americans strongly or somewhat favored the death penalty for people convicted of murder, compared with 39 percent who strongly or somewhat opposed it. Majorities did however express concerns about some aspects of the death penalty: 78 percent said there was some risk that an innocent person would be put to death, and 63 percent said the death penalty didnt deter people from committing serious crimes.

what a fucking poll jeez
