Absolutely stupid. These fucking people. I wish my city had 1/10th the investment in transit that LA is getting now. We're at least upzoning (some) areas near our BRT, though not to the extent that we should. (Upzoning industrial to TOD, which limits to 12 stories instead of central business district which limits to 20 stories)

Conflating jewishness and the Zionist Israeli state doesn't help

Given that because of this, the email from the daycare says the rest of the staff in the room (for infants and toddlers who are unmasked) will be tested, I'm guessing they're symptomatic.

One of the fully vaccinated daycare workers at my daughter's daycare tested positive last night

That's all you get for the implication that criticism of the Apartheid state is because of anti semitism. Just shut the fuck up.

Shut the fuck up

Depends on what you consider the "communities" surrounding the monuments

So so so so so much energy can be captured from offshore wind, do this everywhere

It can't exist with peace because the settler colonial nature of it requires displacing, and has displaced, the native population at the barrel of a gun. I've stated this before and won't go over it again.

Wonderful job conflating anti Zionism (culminating in the current Apartheid Israeli state) and anti semitism you're doing a great job. I'm done here.

We give 500, they give 50. This is good faith.

I'm not gonna answer for all countries but given the continuum of what constitutes ethnic cleansing there are cases today where the US is engaging with ethnic cleansing domestically under the veneer of legality. (Many on the right would be all for the expulsion of so-called "illegals" which certainly would be full scale ethnic cleansing) The disparate effects of education, health, and wealth can be signs of previous or ongoing ethnic cleansing but it doesn't always mean it is the case.

We have engaged in ethnic cleansing in the past and there's a good case to be made that the deliberate and disproportionately poor educational, health, and material outcomes for minority groups are the lingering effects and/or continuation of deliberate state sponsored ethnic cleansing. You don't have to look hard at our history to find examples. Slum clearance and urban renewal projects, destruction of Black neighborhoods for urban highways, mass sterilization, Jim Crow and it's effects, Anti-Black pogroms, segregation, state assassination of "radical" leaders, etc. Take your pick! And that's just against Black citizens to say nothing of Native Americans or Mexicans or Chinese or the Irish/Italians before assimilation into American whiteness. This shit is ingrained deep the blood of this country since the start. In general it's the nature and blueprint of settler colonial/ethno states.

Dick Durban may be the #2 Dem in the senate nominally, but he's hardly the most consequential in terms of what and when things get passed though that godawful chamber

It's the same as saying most people are fine enough safe drivers, (and they are!) but that everyone has to drive for even basic functions of life almost anywhere in this country that even a small % of bad drivers (or gun owners) results in a truly massive number of deaths. It's why despite the "nInEtY-nInE pErCeNt SuRvIvAl RaTe" covid is extremely deadly, because it can affect so many people.

Arab citizens of Israel are second class citizens and are treated in a similar manner as to minority citizens of the United States. From the Trump State Department:

pathetic

what strange bedfellows
