"These days, half a million Israeli settlers live in the West Bank—their shiny red tile roofs a testament to them being out of place. They live on hill summits with an eye on the Palestinians whose land was stolen to make way for the settlers’ homes." foreignpolicy.com/2023/09/30…

WATCH: “Anyone who believes there should be no exceptions for rape & incest could never understand what it’s like to stand in my shoes… to tell a 12yo girl she must have the baby of her stepfather who raped her is unthinkable.”

Last year, @garrytan was mad and demanded a recall and we did, more than once, and then we had a fair election and he’s still mad. Now he hates the local “political machine” and papers, and wants to remove the judges, police commissioners, and district supervisors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

San Francisco police officers have been caught misreporting the racial identities of people they stop by marking white when a person is actually Black in an effort to downplay racial profiling.

Romney could have had an enormous political impact had he switched parties - yet he chose not to. In the end he too chose party over country, just like the worst of his colleagues.

OTD in 1904 Stanislaus Joyce recorded in his diary that Oliver Gogarty wanted his brother out of the Tower at Sandycove. "Jim is scarcely any expense to Gogarty.... Jim is determined that if Gogarty puts him out it will be done publicly."

Harris is the VP. Period. Move on. Consider the backlash to removing the first Black woman VP. Consider people don't vote for VP anyway. Get real.

Mitt Romney sent this text to Mitch McConnell on Jan. 2, 2021:
"In case you have not heard this, I just got a call from Angus King, who said that he had spoken with a senior official at the Pentagon who reports that they are seeing very disturbing social media traffic regarding the protests planned on the 6th. There are calls to burn down your home, Mitch; to smuggle guns into DC, and to storm the Capitol. I hope that sufficient security plans are in place, but I am concerned that the instigator—the President—is the one who commands the reinforcements the DC and Capitol police might require."
McConnell never responded.
