The way the question is worded, I assume they are asking researchers of any nationality working in the US if they are looking elsewhere. Since a large number of researchers in pretty much every field have citizenship or some legal status elsewhere, then presumably it's not as difficult to move back.

I don't believe the IOF has entered into Gaza in any meaningful sense, just bombs. So there isn't much for the Resistance to do until the IOF (foolishly) tries to put boots on the ground.

Hasan mentioned he plans on having a Cuban doctor on his stream today, to talk about Rubio imposing sanctions on countries that utilize Cuban doctors. Should be a good listen, probably will be available on YouTube later if you can’t catch it live.

People don’t realize just how long Putin has been at the helm - over 25 years now. And in that time, the only places Russia has ever invaded before Ukraine are I think Chechnya and Dagestan - both very small, both within the former USSR and for both it wasn’t as simple as “Putin grab land”, lots of other shit going on there. Given how long he’s been there if he’s bent on rolling the tanks through Eastern Europe he hasn’t shown any indication yet that he wants to do that. And the euros can’t even provide a coherent explanation of why Putin would want to take over the Baltics or Poland other than “he eeeevil and wants to rebuild the Russian empire!” Just completely decoupled from reality.

Objectively, Europe is more likely to be invaded by the US than they are Russia.

Over the past year and a half, Al-Jazeera’s coverage of the genocide has been invaluable to me to understand what is going on. Without them, as a westerner who only speaks English, I feel like it would be much harder to be aware of the situation, there’s such a media blackout here. I get the complaints about AJ and when it comes to news regarding Qatar specifically I take with a dose of skepticism. But on the balance they are an incredibly valuable news source.

Takes appropriate action against states that count ballots received after Election Day in Federal elections

This is just a way to try and prevent mail-in ballots. Though for better or worse, there’s not much the federal government can do other than withhold funding they provide for elections, which I don’t think is all that significant but idk.

Not endorsing Costco but they really do have decent vegan options I’ve found. The vegan cookie dough is great.

Definitely. It’s disappointing but not surprising that AOC and Bernie still refuse the challenge the Democrat party status quo even when everyone fucking hates the party right now

idk, I don’t think it’s totally invalid to point out that even social fascists saying the bare minimum of “the government should do some stuff that makes peoples’ lives better” draws huge crowds and unprecedented grassroots level support, and instead of embracing it the Democrat party instead sees it as an existential threat.

That was my interpretation of this tweet, I could be wrong.

IIRC a lot of times the “death sentence” in China is delayed, and so long as you don’t screw up again they won’t execute you. So you can have a “death sentence” and never be executed, I think that’s actually quite common. Don’t know if that’s the situation here though.

Just saw on Al-Jazeera’s live feed that the IOF has (or is in the process of, not sure) reopened the Netzarim corridor.

Death to “israel” and death to America.
