It seems that unimaginable evil isn’t only imaginable, it’s getting more and more common.
The situation with Israel and Gaza can’t last forever. A wolf by the ear. You can’t safely hold him. You can’t safely let him go.
There has been a notable number of students and student orgs coming out and saying “HEY WAIT HEY WAIT WE DIDN’T MEAN THAT!!!”
Republicans who have boosted the RFK Jr run so far may have gotten more than they bargained for.
New Zealand holds a General Election every 3 years, and every election I do a post outlining what is being debated and who the major players are.

For those who decry Western support for Ukraine, everything is a precursor to World War III. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.
MAGA will accept Trump’s new position as some sort of 4-D chess master plan. And that’s true of his next position when he flip flops back too.
For those disagreements, we have the judicial system and the Constitution. It works pretty well. Most of the time anyway.
Republicans who denounced Trump’s impeachments as political have apparently decided the more the merrier as Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden
All of the nuts and bolts of the Biden-Trump polls and election aside, with more than a year to go there is a lot of water yet to pass under the bridge.
