One of the instances in which it is actually emphatically true that by stifling left-liberal criticism of Israel on a liberal basis you just leave open room for nutjobs to do it and fill the space instead

Just heard that Ramsey County is refusing to offer Jake Lang any deal on his felony property destruction charges. 1-5 years.

I know I sound like I'm pontificating, but there's actually an honest question in there: how big a predictor of vaccine denial is having a regular physician that you have frictionless access to?

Or is that so intertwined with wealth that it can't be distinguished?

Leaders? I wonder if this is another example of where a functional health care system would help.

How many people are refusing vaccines because they have low trust in the medical system, and have low trust because they have sporadic health care access with aggressive profit seekers?

Oil prices are up ~35% this week after Trump started his war on Iran.

This is the highest level since 2023.

Last week Trump bragged at the State of the Union about bringing oil prices down. They are now soaring.

Not that it matters, but I have traced her ancestry extensively going through multiple generations and centuries. This is not true and appears to simply be echoing false claims made by prominent white supremacist Peter Brimelow.

When humans string words together from past predictions of what you would like the most, we call them charlatans. But when machines do it, we call them gods.

Can anyone in MPLS please help me with a job?

I do community organization, I used to run Rainbow Wardrobe, I have over a decade of corporate customer service and training experience.

I can't get anywhere on Indeed or any of these other sites, so I'll try asking people instead.

Please.

I've said this before, but it's worth repeating; AIPAC funds people who agree with it. it's not bribing them.

I get that it may seem like an academic distinction, but it's pretty important for a bunch of reasons. 1

And probably Iran, as we use up all our $4 million missiles trying to shoot down their $20k drones.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

Even if they did so in compliance with all laws and the Term of Service, this will bite Proton hard. Their sales is you can trust them and accounts are private.

On a practical level however, a reminder for email as a service that can’t be true.
