THANK YOU NEW YORK VOTERS FOR SEEING THROUGH THE GASLIGHTING “VOTING YOUR CONSCIENCE IS UNREALISTIC” SAYS THE DEMOCRAT WHO JUST LOST “THE WORD SOCIALISM SCARES THE AMERICAN WORKING CLASS” SAYS THE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT POLITICIAN WHO'S ACTUALLY THE ONE WHO'S SCARED OF SOCIALISM “YOU AND I MIGHT LIKE SOCIALISM BUT JOE BLOW DOWN THE STREET WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND” SAYS THE ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRAT OR BILLIONAIRE-OWNED MEDIA PERSONALITY WHO ONLY GOT RICH OR POWERFUL BY MANUFACTURING HOPELESSNESS IN…

The vast majority of national-level Democrat politicians are what we call “AIPAC Democrats”. Not because they have Israeli citizenship, or are Jewish, or religious, or concerned with Israeli or Jewish safety, but because they are charisma-challenged, bad at their job, and unable to win their elections without the massive election interference, financial help, and smear campaigns that AIPAC provides. Of course none of this has helped win the AIPAC Dems much in the way of political power, but at…

So…now that U.S. taxpayers have been forced to sacrifice billions of dollars to arm Israel’s genocide, does the world view the state of Israel in a more positive light? Do Jews around the world feel more secure? Were these really Biden's or Trump's or Netanyahu's goals? So...now that AIPAC has spent hundreds of millions of dollars interfering in U.S. elections to sabotage popular progressive candidates, does the world view the state of Israel in a more positive light? Do Jews around the world…

I often say on here that genocide is the worst crime that human beings have ever invented. But that’s not really true. There’s one worse. Omnicide: the killing of everything. Unfortunately, omnicide is not a fantasy. The project is underway. The entities committing it and profiting from it are actually the same governments, militaries and corporations committing and profiting from genocide. That is, the U.S. government, the Israeli government, their militaries, their big tech corporations, and…

My childhood friends, family and teachers taught me that genocide is wrong. Anyone who commits it, funds it, or profits from it is a criminal. No exceptions. Now I'm told that I need to be wishy washy about genocide. I am asked to make exceptions for certain important political parties or important corporations or important religions. Now I'm told that opposing genocide means I'm being too much of a perfectionist. My childhood friends, family and teachers taught me about the trans Atlantic…

Everywhere we travel on this tour, it’s the same, familiar political situation: the so-called liberal party has abandoned the left and the population is suffering more as a result, the so-called liberal party’s support has collapsed, and fascism is getting a field day. Anybody who still believes that so-called liberal politicians compromise with the far right “to win votes” is truly a fool. This fascist comeback we are all enduring is absolutely deliberate, and so-called liberals are helping it…

I Swear was a great movie experience for me. Highly recommended. As someone who has Tourette’s Syndrome, it was a tremendously rare and emotional experience to see someone like me portrayed sympathetically in a movie. Basically never happens, certainly never this convincingly. I felt seen and understood and touched. It’s a tear-jerker. I also thought it might be worth trying compare the experience of the protagonist with my own, which is a little different. The fact that the main character in I…
