your silence is deafening during this broad new American flowering of the Banality of Evil.
That’s silly. Terms and defininations do not need to be politcally correct. But they should be agreed upon to ensure people know what they are talking about when using them.
It is only silly because you need a platform to stage an ad hominem attack based on it. There is no need to agree on anything unless it needs to be politically correct. When one challenges another's definitions without providing a competitive obe, one is being disingenuous about the challenged one being unacceptable.
the money AIPAC gets is from AMERICANS. Americans who love Israel, but AMERICANS none the less, which is definitionally different than obtaining money from a FOREIGN COUNTRY, say China or Qatar. What don't you understand?
The money AIPAC gets is from AMERICANS. Americans who love Israel, but AMERICANS none the less, which is definitionally different than obtaining money from a FOREIGN COUNTRY, say China or Qatar. What don't you understand? Of course I'm a zionist. 99% of Jews are zionists because it is not only where jews originate, but everything about our culture, our religion ties back to Israel. All synagogues worldwide are built to face Jerusalem, because that is the direction in which we pray, while Muslims face Mecca. See our own ignorance? Buddy, we have 3,500 years of history, western ethics and law derive directly from our writings. You are actual hysterical.
There was an 1800 year gap when few Jews inhabited Palestine: From a rebellion put down by Rome in 136 AD which expelled the Jews until the 1917 "Balfour declaration”, when Britain expressed support for “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people”.
I think that at least AOC (extreme but not stupid) understands that these incidents are not a good look cause it's easy to connect them to her inflammatory rhetoric. She was blasted off for that when the Israeli Embassy murders happened.
Harris and Waltz are just room temperature IQs when it comes to high politics (obviously, they are not in general). That anyone can still entertain the idea of either running for the office and that Harris somehow still attracts donors despite setting 2B on fire and ending in 20M debt is truly puzzling. Even if we go with the guilt tripping wealthy white woman donor theory, money mismanagent is a big deal and DNC has no shortage of candidates that give those donors an opportunity to virtue signal. So why her?
Tomas...your point is well taken and subtlety, though it may not be what you intended, underscores how tenuous, dependent on what is surely marginal peoples, the progressive cause is on a diminishingly small group of people. If not that, then our open society is being used against us to tear apart and thus down the grand (formerly?) republican experiment. We are fighting a terrible, wounded animal that is intent on devouring us.
You won’t see them call out the insanity because they are demoralized. And by that I mean there has been a very real subtraction from their conscience of any moral compass, thereby creating a sort of synthesized sociopathy. They are the end product of decades of Marxist indoctrination in our educational system, echoed by an entertainment industry/pop culture feedback loop. Any pride in the noble achievements of western civilization has been thoroughly rinsed away, replaced by shame and guilt. They have bought in completely to the Left’s oppressor/ oppressed narrative. For them power is the North Star, not truth.
I see it as the new Cloward-Piven Strategy. Now, instead of using welfare to ensure the government controls everything, the new plan is to cause massive chaos and destabilization and then enact martial law to the extent that freedom as we once knew it is a distant memory.
What people often forget is, the other side always has a say in how it all goes down. Buy more ammo.
Me: Here's evidence of Israel doing something evil.
Israel supporter: All Hamas has to do is surrender and release the hostages and this ends immediately.
Me: No that's false, Israel is openly saying the slaughter will continue until all Palestinians have been ethnically cleansed from Gaza regardless of whether Hamas surrenders or the hostages are released. Here's a pile of evidence showing that this is the case.
Israel supporter: Yeah well that's what happens when you start a war you can't win. Next time don't do terrorism.
Me: You were just claiming Hamas can end this at any time by making different decisions. Now that you know Hamas is powerless to stop Israel's ethnic cleansing atrocities you have pivoted to saying all Palestinians deserve mass murder and ethnic cleansing. Sounds like you'll just support Israel no matter what it does regardless of facts or morality.
Israel supporter: ANTISEMITE ANTISEMITE ANTISEMITE ANTISEMITE”
"Israel is openly saying the slaughter will continue until all Palestinians have been ethnically cleansed from Gaza" --- I read a lot; I have no particular favorite in the struggle between Israelis and Palestinians; Could you supply a resource or two for your statement? Israel is openly saying etc? I would appreciate it.
.
Here in USA, I believe no matter how objectionable someone's views, or the people they associate with, nobody should be shot down or firebombed for their views.
.
South Afrikaner, supporter of apartheid? horrible but yap all you want, nobody should shoot or firebomb you.
Basque separatist? Kurd? Turk? Syrian? Paki or Indian? lots of troubles, lots of misdeeds. Lots of hate. But nobody sharing those views, should be getting shot or firebombed on the streets here.
“The deputy speaker of the Israeli parliament has called for the separation of children from their mothers and the killing of adults in Gaza.
During an interview with Kol BaRama radio, Nissim Vaturi called Palestinians "scoundrels" and "subhumans", adding that this is a group of people that cannot be accepted.
"Who is innocent in Gaza? Civilians went out and slaughtered people in cold blood," Vaturi said on Kol BaRama radio.
"They are outcasts and no one in the world wants them," he said, adding that Israel needs to "separate the children and women and kill the adults in Gaza, we are being too considerate.
"The international community understands that the residents of Gaza are not welcome anywhere, and is pushing them towards Israel."

The deputy speaker, who belongs to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, also said that the occupied West Bank city of Jenin will soon turn into Gaza, saying that Palestinians released as part of the ceasefire deal should be put there "so that they can be eliminated later".”
I'm aware of attacks on Christians by Israelis in Israel. However, I'm unaware of shootings and burnings of Christians in Israel by Jews. Do you have any links to back up these claims?
Furthermore, the illegal alien Egyptian, who also spent several years in Kuwait, attacked supporters of Jews and Israel in Boulder, CO a few days ago doesn't appear to support your assertion that he was a Christian. There don't seem to be a whole lot of Christians named Mohamed.
Why was it that Israeli tanks rolled into Syria before Assad had left, and Israel supports the murders of Arabs and Christians in Syria under a former al Queda terrorist's command? There are many American citizens named Mohamed, to dispel your namism.
Sorry, you're correct. It wasn't an assertion on your part, it was an implication. I still haven't seen where you got your information that Israel/Jews are shooting and burning Christians. Do you have a cite for that?
Also, I didn't state anything about there not being any Mohamed's as American citizens (I grew up with a couple). Rather I said the there aren't many CHRISTIANS named that.
I think DC has already suspended most aid to Gaza. But if you're suggesting suspending ALL aid, including humanitarian, and setting up a blockade in the Med I wouldn't argue against it.
Washington DC is the largest supporters of the Zionist apartheid in Greater Israel, of which the Gazan genocide is the most heinous and least forgivable of Judaism.
Apartheid was a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination against non-white South Africans, primarily Black Africans, that existed in South Africa from 1948 until the early 1990s. The word 'apartheid' translates to 'apartness' in Afrikaans. The system was characterized by laws that restricted where people could live, work, and participate in social and political life, based on their race."
If that is the definition you're using, let's dig into that.
How is Israel racially segregating Muslims and Arabs, or anyone else for that matter? There are many Muslims, Arabs, Christians, Druze, etc. living in Israel with full rights of citizenship. Those rights include freedom of movement, freedom of religion, the right to vote for their own representatives in the government, etc. There were even many residents of the West Bank, and Gaza, (that are not Israeli citizens) that worked in Israel proper, until October 7.
Can you point to examples of non-Jews being restricted based on race or religion? It seems much more likely that non-Israeli citizens are restricted within Israel than anything else. Jordan (West Bank) and Egypt (Gaza) have crossings in addition to those with Israel.
It was irresponsible for the Boulder, Colorado police chief not to ID the terrorist's motive when so clearly stated by the terrorist himself. Israel losing the PR war clearly puts the lie to Jews "controlling the media," especially when Israel is so clearly fighting a righteous war on multiple fronts against genocidal enemies.
The main issue is that they literally HAVE no shame. They do anything, say anything, support anything, as long as it lines their pockets or serves their 2/3/4 faced masks.
Yep, Dems are completely reprobate, they are unrepentent sinners that have no conscience, completely self-serving at all costs...the end justifies the means. They and their media are essentially terrorists whose biggest weapons are lies and gaslighting.
Today's "Free Palestine" rallying cry is 2020's "Black Lives Matter" and "I Can't Breathe". These are convenient slogans to elicit emotion and outrage against the Right. The chants and professionally and mass-manufactured signs are amplified by monied interests who want to take down America such as George Soros. The funding must be shut down and the sponsors prosecuted for inducing or inciting riots, which is 18 U.S. Code § 2101
Anti west and anti American to their core. Look at the Stanford and Columbia curricula changes from decades ago. Intersectionality and CRT helped build the infrastructure for all of this
I completely agree! What passes for thinking in the cult mind is mostly just the ability to chant slogans and repost whatever conveys a feeling of self-righteousness.
You wrote: "Israel has gone so far that, with the entire world’s media apparatus turned against them, they’ve lost the PR war, and that is why there is terrorism against Jews here."
Please reconsider your framing.
Israel has only "gone so far" because Hamas refuses to surrender and release the hostages. Also -has Israel "gone so far" or have phony bleeding hearts prolonged the war by encouraging Hamas to keep "winning" the PR war? The same hypocrites who claim to "care" have only prolonged the bloodshed.
Jews have always "lost" the PR War because Jews have never made up more than a fraction of 1% of the world's population.
Please do not suggest that the Jews "brought this on themselves". Please. When you do this, you become part of the problem.
His own country wouldn't take Gaza when Israel offered it. They only let Gazans out for $5,000-$10,000 each, while Egypt survives on the black market money generated by supplying arms to Hamas via the giant tunnels that go into Egypt.
How many dead canaries do we need in the coal mine? As Mr Steyn put it, there's this word that begins with I and ends with slam... and yes, there's a HUGE difference between genocide and war. It shouldn't be difficult. We've adopted unreasonable reasoning to go with the unmusical music, unpoetic poetry, illiterate literature, and (literally) fecal "art."
“At the same time, Israel has gone so far that, with the entire world’s media apparatus turned against them, they’ve lost the PR war, and that is why there is terrorism against Jews here.”
Blaming the victim ?
I believe it’s more sinister than that. There have been plenty of recent stories documenting the flow of foreign funds from Qatar and Iran into the US NGO eco system and then to non profits, etc… that is fueling this global jihad. College campuses are glorified with encampments and students wearing scarfs shouting “free Palestine” - when most of the college kids participating in this lunacy don’t even know which river or which sea. I could go on, but the truth is, this is not Israel’s fault, it was planned by foreign actors seeking to weaken US resolve to back Israel in its existential fight for survival.
Please do better Sasha.
I know you don’t like to comment on this subject, and I understand why.
I believe that there are so many land mines in this discussion that those who choose to not write about it just don’t want to put in the energy to parse all of the road blocks. I get that and respect it. At least Sasha went on record in support of Israel. So her brain is properly functioning.
Tucker Carlson is big on the anti-Israel/pro Iran narrative as well. I also noticed that Carlson in his recent obituary for his father described dad’s involvement in overseas intelligence ops right up to the very end. Carlson was a cheerleader for the WMD/invade Iraq and Afghanistan escapade, but doesn’t seem to have a problem with Iran clearly having nuclear weapons. There are a lot of people claiming to be on the political right who are propagandizing as hard as the hordes of leftists infesting our institutions regarding this issue. Something weird is up. Not sure what it is, but it smells really bad. It’s fortunate that Trump isn’t falling for the propaganda.
As a side note, after my post on JIP a while ago about state taxes and the PTE or Pass Through Entity tax regime that allowed certain individuals to deduct state taxes for federal purposes, I learned that the House Bill, the Big Beautiful Bill, has a provision that eliminates this deduction for certain service industries such as “law and accounting.” So much for my deduction. Poof. 😡
As we've all listened to "white supremacy is our greatest domestic threat", I have to wonder, where are all these murderous people lurking? White supremacists are rallying around POC in Gaza? Was there a white supremacy counter-protest to BLM? Wouldn't we have seen something about it on msm as they would gleefully love to tell that story? The equivalency effort is a false narrative. It attempts to deflect the egregious and obscene efforts allowed and encouraged by the dem party to justify their active efforts to destroy. Both sides? Not even close.
Where did Hamas get the helicopter gunships that killed half of the dead with chain gun fire, a la Collateral Murder in Iraq. Where is Israel's Bradley Manning?
A leftist (D) saying “Hitler” is just a way to shut down the thought process.
Debate stops, reason goes away. All the things we normally do to solve problems are set aside; manipulative people use anger, propaganda, and ideological conditioning to gain traction they don’t deserve, and Hamas gets funding from the US, and assistance from the UN and other global entities.
The Nazis are dead - that war is over, calling out Nazis, today, allows us to forget about Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and so many other “great” leaders of the left, as well as trans-child mutilations, the results of an open border, and the evils of Big Pharma / Bill Gates.
James Lindsay said on his New Discourses site that calling someone a "racist" is intentionally designed by woke activists to "stop thought" in the other person. You can probably imagine how long ago I saw Lindsay's comment, given that the activists have exhausted the thought stopping potential of that particular word.
Recently I heard something that struck me. In WW2 Germans, a surprisingly large number, risked it all to conceal and protect Jews and get them out of danger. As far as we know, not a single Palestinian has successfully freed a single Jewish hostage. The hostility and savagery is beyond compare. In Kabul men committing religious violations ran into the street and falsely accused Farkunda of burning the Koran. 60 people participated in a murder that took longer than an hour, beaten, dropped, run over, thrown into a riverbed and set on fire while a dozen cops watched.
It’s a critical issue from The Frankfurt School of Marxism 1920s Germany. A more modern approach to Marxist ideology. That’s were Barack Hussein Obama at Harvard along with Professor Bell formed Critical Race Theory.
Vonu I have been seeing your comments here. I believe you are in over your head. Besides Sasha’s amazing points in her essay there are some well informed intelligent people commenting. Just take some time and read and listen and most importantly reflect on their comments without trying to get your zingers in. Honestly I’m glad you are here but from my perspective it’s good to learn from some intelligent people who have well thought out comments here so enjoy that. It’s nice to have our eyes opened.
Sasha’s writing made a difference in my feelings and I am grateful for her. I left the democrats back in the 90s. And the union shorty afterwards. Talk about a Southern lone wolf. It’s good to know other folks see it even if they are famous.

Their silence is a message, loud & clear. Our government is infested with violent communists and I don’t know how we fix this.
It needs to begin with everyone involved in the conversation becoming able to demarcate communists and fascists.
It would be nice if people, politicians, and the media could define the terms correctly, so thus forward people can understand what they are labeling.
If you want definitions, why can't you provide some that you consider appropriately politically correct?
That’s silly. Terms and defininations do not need to be politcally correct. But they should be agreed upon to ensure people know what they are talking about when using them.
It is only silly because you need a platform to stage an ad hominem attack based on it. There is no need to agree on anything unless it needs to be politically correct. When one challenges another's definitions without providing a competitive obe, one is being disingenuous about the challenged one being unacceptable.
Why ? .... both are bad and unsuccessful ideologies ...... F*ck both of those things!
Democrats are proto-communists and Republicans are proto-fascists.
I suspect politicians are being well-paid by the jihadi-caliphate leaders to look the other way. 😡
Unless they are being paid by AIPAC to ignore the same things in Israel.
You are - quite literally a moron. AIPAC is American, not foreign.
Don't know much, do you?
You owe us all an apology. Are strong enough to give it? This will tell he world what you are made of.

Just block this gibbering little neo-Nazi.
With great pleasure. What a f*ckhead.
Feel free to imagine all of the specious premise that you can manage.
What do you know of the events besides what the media has told you?
Have you ever been on the Pearl Street Mall?
Israeli Jews are shooting and burning Christians throughout Greater Israel.
BS
Are you still learning the other 24 letters?
I'm aware of attacks on Christians by Israelis in Israel. However, I'm unaware of shootings and burnings of Christians in Israel by Jews. Do you have any links to back up these claims?

There is NO genocide in Gaza. The population of Gaza has been expanding greatly over the decades.
As for "apartheid," I'd really like to know your definition of it.
Please do not encourage this pathetic excuse for a human. He's an AI creation.
Why would you expect an AI creation to not be a pathetic excuse for a human?
Several members of the Zionist government in Israel have been outspoken about exterminating everyone in Gaza.
Yes, the Israelis have their own radicals, too. Thankfully they're not the ones actually in power.
Starving over 2 million to death to get rid of 3000 possible members of Hamas has been recognized as genocide by all but two members of the UN.
Citation required for these 2 million starvation deaths, and also for the 3000 members of Hamass.

If you're interested in truth, which I doubt strongly, go to First Things and read Gerald McDermott's article, Genocide in Gaza?
“Free Palestine” seems to be shouted with the same enthusiasm and intent as was “Heil Hitler” leading up to and during WWII. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤔🤔
How often was "Heil Hitler" shouted by Jews in concentration camps?
You’re a fucking moron.
I think you are on the wrong substack. You are part of the problem of hatred

How many times have you been to Boulder, Colorado?
Too many times to count. I avoid it if I can. Full of the uninformed "educated" class that wants me to fund their debt.
We should reintroduce wolves to Boulder. The college idiots deserve it.
Correction to S.Stone's last sentence which said: "They should all hang their heads in shame...."
They (democrats) should all hang for treason against the US for not enforcing immigration.
The main issue is that they literally HAVE no shame. They do anything, say anything, support anything, as long as it lines their pockets or serves their 2/3/4 faced masks.
Yep, Dems are completely reprobate, they are unrepentent sinners that have no conscience, completely self-serving at all costs...the end justifies the means. They and their media are essentially terrorists whose biggest weapons are lies and gaslighting.
Amen! And all their other treasonous crimes.
I was going to say “their heads in shame” is not all that should be hung.
The largest treasonous class are the ignorant traitors in the military.
Little Leningrad we used to call it when I was a kid.
There are some things that even wolves will not eat.
Never
Never what?
Never been to Boulder, answered your question.

Please do not suggest that the Jews "brought this on themselves". Please. When you do this, you become part of the problem.
Thank You.
Yes. There was visible evidence of losing the PR war internationally as of October 8 - long before counter attacks began…
💯 % Penny!
Thank you! Exactly right.
Israel hasn’t gone far enough.
The Times' headline at the end of the piece puts the word terror in scare quotes. You just can't hate that paper enough...
If this illegal Egyptian wants to “Free Palestine” then why doesn’t HIS country allow them into their country??? Wouldn’t that be an easy solution?
His own country wouldn't take Gaza when Israel offered it. They only let Gazans out for $5,000-$10,000 each, while Egypt survives on the black market money generated by supplying arms to Hamas via the giant tunnels that go into Egypt.
How many dead canaries do we need in the coal mine? As Mr Steyn put it, there's this word that begins with I and ends with slam... and yes, there's a HUGE difference between genocide and war. It shouldn't be difficult. We've adopted unreasonable reasoning to go with the unmusical music, unpoetic poetry, illiterate literature, and (literally) fecal "art."
Right On!
“At the same time, Israel has gone so far that, with the entire world’s media apparatus turned against them, they’ve lost the PR war, and that is why there is terrorism against Jews here.”
Blaming the victim ?
I believe it’s more sinister than that. There have been plenty of recent stories documenting the flow of foreign funds from Qatar and Iran into the US NGO eco system and then to non profits, etc… that is fueling this global jihad. College campuses are glorified with encampments and students wearing scarfs shouting “free Palestine” - when most of the college kids participating in this lunacy don’t even know which river or which sea. I could go on, but the truth is, this is not Israel’s fault, it was planned by foreign actors seeking to weaken US resolve to back Israel in its existential fight for survival.
Please do better Sasha.
I know you don’t like to comment on this subject, and I understand why.
Exactly. I caught that too. Is she afraid of offending bonehead Joe Rogan?
I believe that there are so many land mines in this discussion that those who choose to not write about it just don’t want to put in the energy to parse all of the road blocks. I get that and respect it. At least Sasha went on record in support of Israel. So her brain is properly functioning.
Tucker Carlson is big on the anti-Israel/pro Iran narrative as well. I also noticed that Carlson in his recent obituary for his father described dad’s involvement in overseas intelligence ops right up to the very end. Carlson was a cheerleader for the WMD/invade Iraq and Afghanistan escapade, but doesn’t seem to have a problem with Iran clearly having nuclear weapons. There are a lot of people claiming to be on the political right who are propagandizing as hard as the hordes of leftists infesting our institutions regarding this issue. Something weird is up. Not sure what it is, but it smells really bad. It’s fortunate that Trump isn’t falling for the propaganda.
Tucker Carlson is full MAGA isolationist, that’s why he is against US involvement in taking nukes away from Iran.

Follow the money. Check out who has funded his media company.
At the root, the bottom line of this is they hate Israel /Jews simply because they exist.
Correct.
And China too
Yes, I agree.
As a side note, after my post on JIP a while ago about state taxes and the PTE or Pass Through Entity tax regime that allowed certain individuals to deduct state taxes for federal purposes, I learned that the House Bill, the Big Beautiful Bill, has a provision that eliminates this deduction for certain service industries such as “law and accounting.” So much for my deduction. Poof. 😡
I didn't notice that, thanks for bringing it to our attention!
I read the proposed tax change on LinkedIn from a PwC document posted by one of my former Partners.
Thank you for this post.
From the WSJ - "The police believe the suspect—age 45 and from El Paso county—was working alone."
Sure, he was "working alone;" his ideas just developed in a complete vacuum out of nowhere. It was some sort of spontaneous combustion. Case closed.
WSJ is the new NYT.
Leftists will NEVER hang their heads in shame. They deny their soul and have NO shame. Just brazen arrogance with not a drop of humility.
Exactly!
Neither will fascists.
As we've all listened to "white supremacy is our greatest domestic threat", I have to wonder, where are all these murderous people lurking? White supremacists are rallying around POC in Gaza? Was there a white supremacy counter-protest to BLM? Wouldn't we have seen something about it on msm as they would gleefully love to tell that story? The equivalency effort is a false narrative. It attempts to deflect the egregious and obscene efforts allowed and encouraged by the dem party to justify their active efforts to destroy. Both sides? Not even close.
"The point of the attack by Hamas was to kill and torture Jews. It wasn’t to fight for Palestine’s freedom."
Indeed and there ARE better ways, but that isn't the communist way.
Where did Hamas get the helicopter gunships that killed half of the dead with chain gun fire, a la Collateral Murder in Iraq. Where is Israel's Bradley Manning?
A leftist (D) saying “Hitler” is just a way to shut down the thought process.
Debate stops, reason goes away. All the things we normally do to solve problems are set aside; manipulative people use anger, propaganda, and ideological conditioning to gain traction they don’t deserve, and Hamas gets funding from the US, and assistance from the UN and other global entities.
The Nazis are dead - that war is over, calling out Nazis, today, allows us to forget about Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and so many other “great” leaders of the left, as well as trans-child mutilations, the results of an open border, and the evils of Big Pharma / Bill Gates.
Precisely.
Thank you, Sandra.
“Hitler / Nazi” is just a rhetorical trick, that we fall for, time after time.
James Lindsay said on his New Discourses site that calling someone a "racist" is intentionally designed by woke activists to "stop thought" in the other person. You can probably imagine how long ago I saw Lindsay's comment, given that the activists have exhausted the thought stopping potential of that particular word.
Recently I heard something that struck me. In WW2 Germans, a surprisingly large number, risked it all to conceal and protect Jews and get them out of danger. As far as we know, not a single Palestinian has successfully freed a single Jewish hostage. The hostility and savagery is beyond compare. In Kabul men committing religious violations ran into the street and falsely accused Farkunda of burning the Koran. 60 people participated in a murder that took longer than an hour, beaten, dropped, run over, thrown into a riverbed and set on fire while a dozen cops watched.
Marxist ideology =woke=hate = the love of murder.
Most of the Communist Manifesto's planks have been installed in America by the US Congress.
Correct the government owns my land if I don’t pay my taxes it’s theirs. Even though everything is paid in full here. And that’s just a small piece.
It’s a critical issue from The Frankfurt School of Marxism 1920s Germany. A more modern approach to Marxist ideology. That’s were Barack Hussein Obama at Harvard along with Professor Bell formed Critical Race Theory.
Property tax is not a Marxist concept, being present in most countries.
True ownership requires the absence of property taxes on things truly owned.
Vonu I have been seeing your comments here. I believe you are in over your head. Besides Sasha’s amazing points in her essay there are some well informed intelligent people commenting. Just take some time and read and listen and most importantly reflect on their comments without trying to get your zingers in. Honestly I’m glad you are here but from my perspective it’s good to learn from some intelligent people who have well thought out comments here so enjoy that. It’s nice to have our eyes opened.
Sasha’s writing made a difference in my feelings and I am grateful for her. I left the democrats back in the 90s. And the union shorty afterwards. Talk about a Southern lone wolf. It’s good to know other folks see it even if they are famous.
I have to wonder if Sasha knows that her substack has been turned into a star chamber for those with disparate opinions.
