what if the writer was forced to write it to keep his job along with his family’s access to food, shelter, and healthcare?
You cant compare aexistential harm with a direct and tangible one staring you in the face. If the author is in dire straits and writing under duress, let him voice that in his own defense when he is called to account. But preemptively forgiving bad behavior on a remote “maybe” is a recipe for the end of civilization.
This is horrfying. Shame on the atlantic for publishing that headline.
Got any pics of her making out with another lady? We can decide if we see those.
I definitely look “too straight”. So I should get that money paid to my accounts. Stylish clothes, a haircut and a fitness coach arent going to buy themselves.
US politicians are just doing what they are paid by AIPAC to do. Our government is a band of mercenaries with no real ideology of their own.
The US public is ignored and if we’re honest-- doesnt matter, except for a brief moment every few years in carefully stage-managed elections where no real choice is available. I dont know why anyone bothers to poll US citizens.
Centrism isnt going to cut it when Trump starts doing his usual crazy stuff. I’d say centrism is dead.
Israel is the only recipient of US aid that gets all its money at once, and doesant have it earmarked. They can buy what they like, including buying US politicians. Hookers and blow, or taco bell if they wanted. They are literally buying US politicians with US taxpayer funds, to support genocide, war crimes and land theft.
Israels daily war crime, as the western alliance and global "democracies"diddles themselves in the corner. The last gasp of neoliberal leadership.

They have a long history of actively targeting and lobbing missiles at aid workers on purpose. WHO chief is lucky to be alive.
Well “Ogmios, the god of eloquence”, if you would just said what you mean, we could get this done in a lot fewer comments. Actually, nevermind. I’m not interested anymore. I regret ever replying.

Israeli government says the tradition of spitting on christians is not a criminal act at all. I imagine spitting on jews though, is terrorism.
Ben Gvir had previously defended the act of spitting on Christians as “an ancient Jewish custom”.
“Police have reportedly not been taking the attacks seriously, refusing to treat the incidents as part of a trend and downplaying the culprits’ motives by saying they are carried out due to “mental illness”.”

"Being spat and shouted at by Israelis has become, for some Christians, “a daily occurrence”
Thats a pretty convoluted way of saying that, but I guess I’ll take your word for it.
so you saying people will be upset about one thing or another anyway, so who cares if Israel is murdering children? Thats a bold argument. Lets see how that works out for you.
Its a strange world isnt it. In the last election I was shouted down on here by trans supporters who said you cant expect perfection from everyone, because Harris supported trans rights, but also was a supporter of Israeli genocide as well, which I thought was a bigger issue for humanity to address immediately with the limited time to apply pressure that was available.
So I’ll just parrot that right back now along with the idea that “you dont tease the fat guy at the gym”. Following the metaphor, the pope is currently on the treadmill shedding some pounds, so I’m going to hold my derisive comments about that particular rapist cult for the moment. And he’s a whole lot better than all the other popes of my lifetime. But next time he opens his mouth about trans rights, sure, kick his arse.
You conflate Hamas with Palestinians in general. Thats just dirty racism.
same here. If type 1’s dont take insulin they die, period. Symptom onset is fast and its not a pleasant or fast death. All the type1s rationing insulin are cooking their organs and in some stage of the process of dying, and they feel it happening. The only option is to not eat any food at all and hope you can make the process of dying stretch out a bit. But as soon as you eat, the food turns to glucose (sugar) in the blood, your body cant use that sugar without insulin and it acidifies in your blood and cooks you.
