For the record, this is the same tier of stupidity as people who thought Abdul El-Sayed saying "Inshallah" on a phone call was a gotcha moment

Every reply to this on the other place is those who don't know basic terminology losing their minds, echoing the self-owning conflation of Zionism and Judaism (which usually offends them greatly). Some stuff is beyond parody. "How dare this hospital assert that the Jewish people continue to live!"

The thing is, people who were not 12 and brain-damaged tried other solutions to food deserts with considerably less overhead and it is worth asking why they were not built on, for example (content warning - charts) www.foodsystemsjournal.org/index.php/fs... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

the thing about government grocery stores is that food deserts are a real thing and people need food

Not clear if she's turning the dial that says transphobia for audience approval like it's the Permanent Vibe Shift of Jan 2025 or if she's just a bigot looking for an excuse, but either way, fuck this woman

1. The Democratic Party of Ohio has erupted in an intra-party firestorm as Democratic candidate for governor, Amy Acton, endorsed the sports ban and vowed to enforce it in the wake up the Title IX SCOTUS decision. It threatens to sink a close race for governor. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Most importantly, you can probably do it without touching the actual sacred cow of US healthcare - the payroll tax deduction backstopping the "good" health insurance plans enjoyed by many of the most frequent and reliable voters.

FWIW, universal catastrophic coverage is the low-hanging fruit here. It's not especially attractive to insurance companies, it removes the problem of poor ppl without insurance (or without good enough insurance) racking up huge ER bills they will never pay, and it costs the least to implement.

"his time as a Blackwater mercenary or online posting history or his lack of careful language" Gee, I wonder what the DSA weaseled out of mentioning here. They liked the Nazi tattoo. They liked that he abused women (June 9 was 5 days after the NYT article). Real red brown alliance shit.

Here are the receipts. Bundled with tons of rationalization and denial… Amazing self-own… 🫣 www.mainedsa.org/wp-content/u...

Text from the Maine, DSAs voter guide: “Look - Platner isn't the perfect candidate. His unforced errors reflect a campaign that needs to tighten up and stop running like they know he's in the lead. We aren't going to rehash all the very real concerns about his time as a Blackwater mercenary, or online posting history, or his lack of careful language. But his campaign is riding a wave of populist anger against MAGA and provides a crucial opportunity to take out the forever unpopular, but still powerful, Susan Collins. If someone is committed to growth and shows a willingness to be better than they have been, then we have to take this chance while it's available. We RECOMMEND that you vote for Graham Platner for U.S. Senate.”

"Yes, leftists gleefully boosted this Nazi rapist, boasted about how he was a brave insurgent opposed to the Democratic party and told anyone who protested that they were Trump supporters, but now that he IS a Nazi rapist, it's "the party's" fault" Fuck ALL the way off

The Democratic Party must reckon with how it continued to support an abusive man and prop up a system that allows those in power to skirt responsibility and actively harm survivors.

Nice call on Graham Platner, you piece of shit By the way, you never did explain who gave you that great story about his wife being Jewish. I bet you thought you were very crafty, laundering a rapist's lies like that.

Harold Meyerson flags that founding father Benjamin Franklin made a persuasive argument for the wealth tax, in a letter to Robert Morris, then the richest man in America and the financier of the revolution. His basic argument: Public laws and society made you rich, so the public can decide what to do with the wealth we all collectively built. If you don't like that, he says, then leave society and go live with "the Savages." (Of course, the indigenous people of the time would not have allowed such greed in their societies, either.) Happy early 4th!
