Has the patron money started drying up? Hadn’t considered contra points for years and now they’re out here with dumbass posts like this and coyly posting about how Zionism is good.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of Health and Human Services, and Brooke Rollins, secretary of Agriculture, have floated the notion that instead of culling birds infected with the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus, farmers should let it spread through flocks. The idea is that by doing this, farmers can "identify the birds, and preserve the birds, that are immune to it," Kennedy told Fox News on March 11.

So we are going to let the virus infect billions of animals held in poor conditions on the assumption that we are going to breed them to immunity at a faster rate than the virus mutates. This seems prudent.

She is relatively disliked, but also beloved by the worst kind of people. It is a bit like the US with southern civil war generals.

They are terrified that people with an actual progressive agenda could spread in the party. If you’re familiar with the Labour Party during Corbyn there was open contempt for their own progressive membership from the long standing party insiders. Getting rid of those members was described as ‘shaking off fleas’.

But I don’t think the main reason he is being frozen out is his progressive policy platform, but that he doesn’t parrot the right pablum about how Israel has the right to defend itself as the answer to any atrocity. Corbyn was also tarred as an antisemite, but that was more of a pretext rather than the actual reason. In this case I think the lack of bootlicking for Israel is the core of the issue.

Somewhat related, has any democrat criticised this bill other than Fetterman complaining that it interrupted his beach time?

Taking the limitless pill that turns off 10% of my brain so I can focus on doing my work reports.

Endorse an independent candidate and pull campaign funding I guess.

I mean, looking at the big names of the new atheist movement I think both support violating women’s rights.

Though they’ve turned into ‘cultural Christians’ now.

It seems to be getting more ‘controversial’ among young women as well. While more believe it should be legal in all cases, there is a high uptick in people who believe it should be illegal.

No great shock, Sweden is the only country other than the USA that has refused to resume aid through Unrwa. The excuse there is that Israel has banned them.

So instead of putting pressure on Israel they immediately folded and decided to start throwing money at other UN organs which will likely just end up in Israeli front groups like Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
