At least a fifth of RTD's bus and train service would be cut next year under agency managers' recommendation to directors, who are considering eliminating entire bus routes and slashing thousands of public transit trips to balance RTD's budget.
Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

if this wasn't (1) deeply disingenuous and (2) animated by the sense that jews have too much control over the world, i'd be less inclined to say get fucked
You didnt answer any of the questions but I feel safe assuming you think they was instrumental to Kamala's loss?
So, again
Do you think this rhetoric helps or hurts chances they vote for dems next time?
So again, were they instrumental in Kamala's loss?
If yes, do you think this rhetoric helps or hurts chances they vote for dems next time?
If no, what are you hoping to accomplish by complaining about this?
To expand on this a little: one thing that playing fast and loose with the facts lets you do as a judge is lie about the legal principles you're using to decide cases
The thing about the photo of the IDF soldier beheading a statue of Jesus in south Lebanon is that the Israeli military has an effectively near 0% conviction rate for its soldiers and so this will just keep happening over and over and over and over. This is simply what unlimited impunity breeds.
This is part of a broader push the Trump admin began in term one (that Biden didn't roll back in any way). First each visa applicant had to disclose your social media handles. Now under Trump 2, the U.S. government demands that you make your social media accounts public so they can scan 'em.

“True story. I was at a public meeting a few weeks ago and went slightly over my speaking time and got thrown in the slammer there in China, I mean Rogers county." www.404media.co/farmer-arres...
Blowing up civilian homes as "terror infrastructure" as revenge for IDF's failure to occupy the village in 2006.
"I've come for payback. To kill the murderers of Hezbollah, and to blow up their homes, which became terror infrastructure".
Israeli soldiers are detonating entire villages in South Lebanon while taking selfies. Ancient mosques, churches, cemeteries, schools, hospitals - all being obliterated by the genocidal regime

"forthcoming talks between Israel and Lebanon are likely to restrain any immediate EU action, because many European countries are wary of disrupting delicate negotiations."
Can't see how EU action could "disrupt talks" more than Israel blowing up entire villages.

i'm just gonna say that the career soldier/mercenary may turn out to be less of a solid antiwar/antiweapons vote than some people are projecting
So a messy picture. A dangerous and very real Israeli one state reality and political vision; a Palestinian consensus still formulated in terms of partition; an international consensus that pays lip service to partition, while doing nothing about Israel's one state vision and praxis.
4/
What can and does proceed is Israel's one state political vision. That one is very well articulated: a state based on inequality and aimed towards mass ethnic cleansing. It is anchored in Israeli law and policy, it is advanced on a daily basis by Israeli military, judges, police, and bulldozers.
3/
As long as at least the first factor does not change, a transition to an *equitable one state political vision* is not possible. Regardless how many settlements Israel builds and how meaningless the 67' borders are. Regardless of the many pitfalls of partition.
2/
1) The "Palestinian national consensus" is for a two state solution. Yes, any enthusiasm is long gone, viability is widely doubted, but there is no consensus on anything else, not even a coherent alternative.
2) International law on Palestine is all framed through partition and two states.

Janet Mills says she wouldn't have voted for the resolutions in the Senate to restrict arms sales to Israel— and her reason is that the resolutions would've blocked Iron Dome interceptors.
The two resolutions had nothing to do with Iron Dome interceptors and were about bulldozers and 1000lbs bombs.
Mostly because @lindseyforco.bsky.social and the opportunity caucus dont want to have to disclose their donors
This is a momentous story in a lot of ways. One incredible little detail: the Roberts clerk and the Alito clerk who wrote the key memos creating the shadow docket, Joseph Benjamin Tyson III and Barbara S. Grieco, ended up getting married two years later.
“In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, … he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis.”
There’s so much to say about the remarkable reporting from Jodi Kantor & Adam Liptak—and I’ll say a lot of it in Monday’s newsletter.
But the most striking thing about all of it is the role & behavior of Chief Justice Roberts. “Calling balls and strikes” this ain’t:
