Former Obama and Biden Official Rahm Emanuel says he will “absolutely” support Graham Platner. Platner got a Nazi tattoo, praised Hamas, and said women should "act like an adult" to avoid rape.


This is a bit unexpected and AFAICT not described before. "We find previously underappreciated heterogeneity, with ancestries 71 associated with Central and Southern Europe rising in prevalence from the 7th century CE." biorxiv.org/content/10.648…



Columbus really is just 5% actual city and 95% concentrated suburban Ohio.



You know what’s the closest country to Israel in population? Papua New Guinea. Not joking. Nearly identical number of people. Imagine if our entire foreign policy was structured around Papua New Guinea. If there were people who were Papua New Guinea First all over Congress and media. And we had given Papua New Guinea over $300 billion and people were saying it wasn’t enough! That we had spent $8 trillion on wars supporting Papua New Guinea and people said we needed one more war for them! And if you ever criticized our ludicrous support for Papua New Guinea, everyone in media would call you an anti-Papua New Guineaist and said no one should ever talk to you again. Now, you’re beginning to see how absurd our support for Israel is.


As a reminder: JFK is literally Pro-Israel. In fact, he was literally the one who started the special relationship with Israel. Idk why so many political people from different political background frame JFK as something he's not.


Hate to say so but did they not more or less invent pizza? Have we not established this?


Decoupling the GOP from Bible-thumping was a huge mistake. They replaced all their social opinions with culture war nonsense that comes to the same conclusions, but now also embrace overt cruelty, nihilism, lying, and crime much more so than they ever did before when they were pretending to be good Christians. People like the Bushes and Romney had at least a modicum of concern for the wellbeing of Americans and reputation of America, but Trump doesn't care about any of that and never has.

7% of Americans support a major ground invasion of Iran. SEVEN. (Reuters/Ipsos) And yet…




Reminder that the US had no intention of fighting the Nazis until they were attacked and forced into taking action. They’ve pretty much never been on the right side of any war.
