Senator Elizabeth Warren says she thinks Israel’s actions in Gaza will be legally ruled genocide - The Boston Globe
In comments at a Boston-area mosque, the Massachusetts senators said she preferred to speak about what exactly what Israel is doing in Gaza rather than focus on a “labels argument.”
To the best of my knowledge, Liz voted to approve every weapons transfer to Bibi that came before the Senate. Including requests for weapons after the International Criminal Court issued their initial indictment.
So I guess my question is, when will Liz be turning herself in to The Hague as an accessory to genocide? I just looked it up, there are flights from Washington every day

I have a buddy who is (unfortunately) an Elon bootlicker. Many such cases in the tech industry. He owns a Tesla and is adamant that Elon is heavily involved in the design and manufacturing of the vehicles. "He sleeps on the factory floor, bro".
I just sent him this:
If I honestly believed this profoundly dumb man was heavily involved in the design and manufacture of my car, I would never get in that car again.

I think this is more him asserting his 'reality.' It's a power move trump attempts constantly. Say the obvious lie to your face and insist on it, refuse to acknowledge the actual truth which you are asserting. It looks dumb, and it often causes more grief, but that's the game. He's telling the lawyer (and the court), I don't recognize your authority over me and I refuse to acknowledge this other person at all, I'm just here playing the game and keeping you from my money. Kids do this too.I have a buddy who is (unfortunately) an Elon bootlicker. Many such cases in the tech industry.

These dumb hogs just resurrected an abortion law from 1864.
My theory that Republicans are throwing the Presidential election is lookin real strong right now.
It looks like somebody woke Joe up and reminded him he's in an election campaign again. Probably the most effective political ad I've ever seen:
Run ads like this in every swing State suburb from now until November and that should be a wrap
Abortion in Arizona set to be illegal in nearly all circumstances, state high court rules
The 1864 law mandates prison time for abortion providers and only allows for abortion if the mother's life is at risk.

Climate inaction: Switzerland condemned by the European Court of Human Rights, a first for a State
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) issued a landmark ruling on Tuesday, condemning Switzerland for the first time for its lack of action on climate change, a decision that will apply to all 46 member states of the Council of Europe.
A "new, clearly defined right
"What is fundamental is that the ECHR extends human rights to the issue of climate," explains Arnaud Gossement, a lawyer specializing in environmental law. A "new right is clearly defined": that of individuals to be protected by States against the harmful effects of climate change, the threat of which is now recognized by the ECHR
"The scientific reality of climate risk is recognized"
"The ruling recognizes in several places, in a very solemn manner, the scientific reality of climate risk, by mentioning the IPCC reports and the high quality of this work. It was very important for a court of law to acknowledge what the scientific experts had already done, and this is the first time, to my knowledge, that an international court has done so", notes Laurence Burgorgue-Larsen of the Swiss association Seniors for the climate.
Beyond Europe, this judgment could also influence three international jurisdictions - the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights - which are due to rule shortly on the obligations of states in relation to climate.

The newest Right Wing hysteria: squatting.
gothamist.com
Landlords love charging absurdly high rents. But that increases the vacancy time between leases. Which increases the risk of squatting and property damage. That's the risk YOU as an investor took, gambling on a higher ROI. Oh no...that risk isn't paying off because you have a squatter? I do not care. Not my fuckin problem.
If you want a no-risk investment, get a savings account with a good yield. I'm really tired of rich fucks crying to the gubernment because their risky investments don't pay off.
Also, to that Lurch-looking freak John Fettidman: yes, "squatters rights" are imaginary. All rights are imaginary, dummy. We literally made all of them up. Landlord rights are also imaginary.
Is NYC really facing a ‘squatter’ problem? Lawyers on both sides say no.
Attorneys representing landlords and tenants in Housing Court say they’re not seeing a rise in ‘squatter’ cases despite a surfeit of media coverage.

The Productivity–Pay Gap
The huge gap between rising incomes at the top and stagnating pay for the rest of us shows that workers are no longer benefiting from their rising productivity. Before 1979, worker pay and productivity grew in tandem. But since 1979, productivity has grown eight times faster than typical worker...

Change 1979–2022:
Productivity
+64.7%
Hourly pay
+14.8%
Productivity has grown 4.4x as much as pay

Ted Kennedy tried primarying Carter in 1980. He was running on a platform of reestablishing the New Deal, supporting labor, and Medicare for All. People forget... Carter wasn't some Left Winger. He was a neoliberal. Austerity and deregulation. He had more in common with Regan than LBJ.
Unfortunately Teddy killed that girl and here we are. Society today if the Kennedys were better at drunk driving:

Rhonda is very mad that he'll never be President because the whole country found out he's a creepy little weirdo.
Keep in mind, he hates Florida and Floridians. Literally said "while I was born and raised in Florida, I identify as a Midwesterner". His revenge on the Free State will be terrible.
I also like that Right Wingers will say "we don't want far away politicians and bureaucrats telling people what to do. Local governance is best". Until local governments say Small Business Tyrants have to pay their employees enough to live within a reasonable distance of their workplace. Or they have to give their workers in a State that's hotter than Hell water breaks.
