The idea that any ethnic group has exclusive right to reside in a given plot of land is not a leftwing one. It's blood and soil nationalism. And in a contest between competing projects of ethnonationalist domination, the Palestinians cannot win.

Watching lefties fall in love with candidates they spent much of the last 10 years relentlessly demonizing is ... heady. What a weird time we're living in.

one of the most inane talking points imaginable. spending energy being disgusted at conservatives for being awful is like spending energy being mad at a dog for not speaking english

Every 4 years it seems like leftists get a lot more disgusted at liberals than they do at conservatives, and I think that's partially b/c a decent percentage of leftists do not interact with conservatives on a weekly, monthly, or even annual basis

very cool looking construction and mass timber's potential is exciting but it's very funny to write a whole article professing this project's sustainability bona fides without asking: could this project's emissions profile be affected by the fact that it is AN AIRPORT EXPANSION

My latest column: the Port of Portland went bold on mass timber with its new airport terminal, which opens this week. Leaders in Seattle should do the same - a kick-start to solve a variety of knotty Northwest problems.

Gaza solidarity protestors just interrupted a @DNCClimate meeting at the DNC, chanting “free, free Palestine.” In response, Rep Jamie Raskin, who was speaking, shut them down: "If you want to show some political courage, go and interrupt one of Donald Trump’s rallies."

the communist party of india used to censure its elected politicians if they made religious references while taking their oath of office, and there are still members who feel like its much-softened stance on this these days is creeping liberalism lol.

the bad news: it was cancer the good news: as cancers go, a best-case- a highly localized kind of sarcoma that basically never spreads. so either it never reoccurs or it just shows up at the exact same spot and we remove it again. hopefully means more years of mischa to come 🥹

nah imo it's both. certainly all evidence indicates that these are her politics, but a savvier politician would just stay calm, spit out a platitude or two, and have the protestors escorted out. it's vicious *and* stupid, and provides a window for escalation that we should take.

Harris telling pro-Palestinian protestors to shut up unless they want Trump to win is not some moment of frustration or weakness that could be summed up as a gaffe but indicative of her actual policy positions. but dont me ruin your honeymoon

we can blame it on mgmt all we want, but at a certain point- a point which we have long since passed- anybody working there who isn't raising hell and/or resigning is complicit. that's really the long and short of it.
