Nuclear power. Georgism and classical liberalism. Queer. Skeptic. I block tankies and fascists. Wannabe vegan.
There's no solution for terrorists looting aid. Even if they didn't with scarcity everyone will try to loot aid. With scarcity prices go up. There's no solution other than letting in so much aid that hoarding it will no longer be beneficial. This has always been the only solution
After you turn 40, every medical checkup you get boils down to "You're dying. Here are the ways you are dying the fastest. Here are the ways to try to slow that down."
America is awesome because it is a nation “conceived in liberty." Not heredity, ethnicity, or arbitrary borders, like many countries. An idea. Liberty. That's an origin story — a mission statement — worth celebrating.
The problem with such condemnation is that it's equivocal. Dr. Jha is offering her strong disapproval, at most — a condemnation without a condemned. Meaningful condemnation requires supporting a path to Hamas' elimination, not mere disapproval.
All children are equal & NO child (Israeli/Palestinian) should EVER be targeted. The attack on Oct 7th was abhorrent & I condemn it. Do you feel the same about the > 20,000 (now believed to be almost 200,000!!) Palestinian children that are being slaughtered by Israel?
Many on the right cheering the curtailment of injuctions today, but just keep in mind: the main reason for the failures of the Trump administration have little to do with liberal opposition. They're caused by an internal lack of discipline, curiosity, responsibility and courage.

We are entering deeply heated hours and days in the Middle East. Pray for Palestinians, Israelis, and Iranians—civilians caught in the middle of a war they didn’t choose.
Let me make it easy for everyone. Every single video and image that is currently going viral online claiming to show the aftermath of US strikes on Iran's Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites is false. They all show air strikes or explosions from days, weeks or months ago.
I’m worried that given everything on Rubio’s plate these days he’s shirking his responsibilities as Chief Archivist.
Violent people here illegally? Absolutely deport or throw them in jail Someone here illegally with a few traffic tickets? This just isn’t in even my top 20 political priorities Fixing legal immigration mechanisms ranks above it!!
American progressivism at the left-most ~30-50% largely takes proven European ideals & then overshoots their application in ways that render them unable to gain enough support. Transit is one example. Europe: “It should be reliable, reasonable in cost & safe. We don’t tolerate…

"Effective governance" requires governing less, not more civic participation. People's lives are busy and complex. Demanding they devote more time to engaging govt does not make them more free. Building community need not require more time at city hall.
