This is a class issue, not a political persuasion issue. Billary balanced the budget how? _Neo_liberalism means what? Liberalism in the real world working definition (not the US populace colloquial meaning) means what?

Ahead of Wednesday’s visit, South African government leaders were preparing to offer a workaround plan that would allow Musk’s venture to operate in South Africa. The gesture was viewed as an attempt to generate goodwill with the US administration before the talks began. It seemed to do little to smooth things over. And when the Oval Office spectacle was underway, Trump seemed uninterested in giving Musk a speaking role. “Elon’s from South Africa, and I don’t want to talk to him about that,” he said. “I don’t think it’s fair to him.”

Let this be the end of workarounds, exceptions and visits.

Thank you. I’ve been slacking on everything. Time to step back, regroup, and definitely drink more water.

I hear you, friend. I daresay too many share the experience. I’ve certainly been there, before, and I am in full accord. Make merry where we can, it lightens the load for a moment. Wishing you the best.

At this juncture, a complete reboot seems necessary. The Constitution is old and more cumbersome than reasonable. We can do better.

Thank you. A little mirth where we can find it is mandatory!

Apparently 🤷‍♀️

That’s an entirely novel way for me to think about that, and I like it, and now I need to let that percolate. Thank you.

The base only cares about law when it’s someone they dislike.

Worse. These are the people who said she’s not a doctor because she holds s PhD in education, rather than a medical degree.

A lot of us are overconfident and overcompensating.

I have this extreme amount of shame that’s blocking me.

I think exploring the origins of this shame and addressing it is the bare minimum required to getting you to a healthier inner space.

So they can lure more to slaughter?

Heritage describes Project Esther as a “groundbreaking” national strategy to fight antisemitism that aims not to censor opinions but to hold people it deems to be supporters of Hamas, a designated terrorist group, responsible for their actions. But critics such as Mr. Jacoby say the think tank is exploiting real concerns about antisemitism to advance its broader agenda of radically reshaping higher education and crushing progressive movements more generally. Project Esther exclusively focuses on antisemitism on the left, ignoring antisemitic harassment and violence from the right. It has drawn criticism from many Jewish organizations amid increasing calls for them to push back against the Trump administration. “Trump is pulling straight from the authoritarian playbook, using tools of repression first against those organizing for Palestinian rights,” said Stefanie Fox, the executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace. “And in so doing, sharpening those tools for use against anyone and everyone who challenges his fascist agenda.”
