You genocide lovers just can't get enough genocide. The invasion in Gaza isn't enough for you, you guys just have to get Trump into the Oval office so you guys can really ramp things up.

...Democratic leadership hasn't been allowing the AIPAC to dump millions into primaries...

That's an interesting take. What can the Democratic leadership do to stop this?

Probably should block @TheEmpororHasNoClothes@mas.to too while you're at it

I thinking Bowman might have missed the Overton window in his district:

Bowman’s troubles started last fall, when he began speaking out in the days after Oct. 7 as one of Congress’s leading critics of Israel’s war with Hamas. His stand — for a cease-fire and against American military aid — galvanized younger Democrats and the party’s left flank. But in a heavily Jewish district, it also helped foment a backlash that led Jewish leaders to recruit a formidable primary challenger, George Latimer; prompted a pro-Israel lobby to pump a record-shattering $15 million into the race; and eventually lit a match under old tensions over race, class and ideology.

Edit: After thinking about this some more I feel like this is a great example of what makes being a politician so hard and why sometimes taking the stand on right side of history can make things worse.

Bowman obviously wants to do the right thing and end the Gaza invasion, so he spoke out publicly against it. He doesn't seem to understand his constituency though, and as a result there's a good chance he's going to lose his seat at the table.

Unfortunately his speaking out publucly doesn't really seem to have moved the needle towards improving the situation in Gaza.

So by speaking out without understanding his constituents he might be losing his seat, we citizens of the United States are potentially losing one vote for progressive issues, we're potentially gaining a vote for aggressive pro-Isreali causes, and the invasion of Gaza rolls on without even noticing.

So was Bowman's sacrifice worth it? I guess we'll see in November.

If you're doing a lot of reporting I highly recommend getting familiar with Quarto. It's incredibly flexible for writing ad hoc reports, automated reporting, dashboards, presentations, etc. You can use python, R, observable, or Julia.

How did you come to the conclusion that OP doesn't understand how electricity works?

Fun loosely related fact: gender, birthday, and zip code can uniquely identify about 87% of the population in the United States.

The study is a little old so population growth may have reduced that amount some what, but probably not a lot.

Finally, now get to work reverse engineering this marvel so we can use their own technology against them!

I feel like this quote from the BBC article is the bigger story:

According to Israeli media, neither Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor the defence minister Yoav Gallant were aware of plans for a pause before they were announced. Mr Netanyahu's office reportedly said the prime minister had told his military secretary that the plan was "unacceptable" after hearing about it on Sunday. He has also reportedly been told that there has been no change to the IDF's policy and that the fighting in Rafah "continues as planned". Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said the decision to pause fighting had been made by a "fool" who was "evil".

Dogs absolutely love pulling stuff and I bet that dog is having a blast.

@simplex@mastodon.social Can you help with this?

Is this some kind of weird market research?
