I mean the democrats are openly supporting it too. Support for Isreal isn't a bi-partisan issue. Both sides absolutely go nuts when anyone says maybe we shouldn't unconditionally support an apartheid state.

This is a bad take and you should feel bad.

This writer likens it to Vietnam’s Tet Offensive:

If Kylie accurately quoted the original source, this happened in Plainfield, a suburb 40 miles outside Chicago. Population 44,762 during the 2020 census. So what most of us would call a medium sized town. So this happened in a Midwestern community, not some big scary city.

I missed the part where Biden told Americans to hunt Palestinians with knives.

Israel’s version of 9/11 indeed . . .

Okay, let’s talk about the attack. Why did the Netanyahu gov’t ignore intelligence warning from both Egypt and the United States about the impending attack? 

With respect, you don’t need to watch conservative outlets to hear genocidal rhetoric about Palestinians. The mainstream press and many “reasonable” journalists/pundits/politicians have done that job just fine.

Perhaps I can direct you to the AP News or the BBC.

I have a little one just past his age. Breaks my heart to think of it (and that his poor mother lived! to relive that trauma for me would be unbearable).

A group of rich assholes want to make money off of another war, so their buddies in the right wing media gin up the outrage of their Bible-touting viewers who think this is the religious crusade that’ll bring their big daddy Jesus back from the grave. The result: a child is stabbed to death.

Most incredibly, there was no article written about the actual terrorist attack by Hamas. How is that possible? It’s Israel’s version of 9/11 and you don’t even see fit to do an article about it? That’s basically Fox News level journalistic malpractice.

What’s Vegas odds on which reich-wing talk show host will be the first to say “see, now what’re the LIBERALS gonna do????? Outlaw knives?!!??!?!?!!?!?”

JFC, a 6 year old boy was murdered because some boomer idiot is addicted to conservative radio and likely TV (fox news, I’m looking at you). These are the horrific consequences for lies and deceit. It’s too bad whoever this monster listens to will continue the trash they spew with zero consequences.  A 6 YEAR OLD!  

Susan, one more detail about Youngkin. He’s intentionally waiting until after the state elections next month to announce whether or not he’ll run for president. If the GOP wins both chambers, he will use that to push anti-abortion bills AND take that crazy shit to the national level.

It’s up to voters to see through their misleading rhetoric

My wife and I did early in-person voting this morning. Two votes for yes on 1 (and 2 BTW). Now it’s up to the rest of the state. I’m encouraged by how MANY people turned out to defeat the Right’s attempt to remove Issue 1 from the ballot back in August.

This. People really underestimate the impact of conditions on how much range you get. On the coldest days of Chicago winter, my car gets about 1/2 the miles on a charge as it normally does. Previous owner said he got 1/3 in one winter storm driving through mountains. Also battery degradation is a thing. That being…

Range Anxiety, whether real or not, is still one of the leading factors in dissuading people from going electric. Couple that with a charging infrastructure “not ready for prime time” you end up getting what you see now, a slowing of adoption to EVs.  

Also, while we’re on the subject, can we talk for a second about how completely unnecessary a 900-mile EV is? Why not use a battery a third of the size to give us something much more affordable with a still-useful 300-mile range? Hauling around a battery you barely even use would just be wasteful.
