Also, and let's be absolutely clear about this, the extent of Trump's support for Israel is to say blustery things about it and otherwise not give it or its people any aid. He couldn't care less how many Israeli civilians die or are injured. Hell he just ordered the Republicans in the house to tank aid to Israel so he could have the border to run on. Not the actions of someone who loves Israel.

Yes as a person who can't drive and so relies on public transportation where it's available and Uber/Lyft everywhere else, I'd absolutely love it if all the people screaming about Israeli apartheid did something about the apartheid in their own Goddamn neighborhoods. Then maybe we can talk about whatever apartheid may exist in other countries.

Biden's Bully Pulpit Needs a Reboot by Josh Kraushaar
Of the many red flags for President Biden in the recent NBC News poll, the biggest is that his job approval has worsened even as public perception of the economy is on the rise. In fact, Biden’s economic job disapproval is tied for an all-time low—61 percent—as the number of Americans expressing negative views of the economic future is at its best level since April 2021.

Get in #Babkans, #Microblogians, and other #fedizens, we're doing Monday.

Breakfast has been consumed, and we're working on consuming our first cups of coffee, and I am here to tell you in this Gregorian year of 2024 that absolutely zero people and organizations need a toolbar with 155 items shoved into their navigation menu on their website that does nothing but list all their other shitty domains they're redirecting to whatever hellsite this is. Your users probably hate you and I don't blame them. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
