“By the usual measures, Biden should be cruising to reëlection. Violent crime has dropped to nearly a fifty-year low, unemployment is below four per cent, and in January the S. & P. 500 and the Dow hit record highs. More Americans than ever have health insurance, and the country is producing more energy than at any previous moment in its history. His opponent, who is facing ninety-one criminal counts, has suggested that if he is elected he will fire as many as fifty thousand civil servants and replace them with loyalists, deputize the National Guard as a mass-deportation force, and root out what he calls “the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.””
tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse
What do western Hamas sympathizer leftists think will happen if they actually "dismantled" Israel?
Are they imagining that Israeli Jews are permitted to live with a dhimmi status? Are they imagining expulsions and genocide? Do they have a completely unhinged idea that Israeli Jews will have equality under a Hamas-led single state (find me a shred of evidence to support this prediction, I'm waiting)? Are they imagining sharia law? A high fantasy retelling in which Muslims, Jews, Christians, Druze, and Samaritans all live in peace in 2024 under Sinwar?
If you claim Hamas is a resistance movement, don't be surprised when Israelis/Jews consider you to be, at best, an ignorant leftoid westoid engaging in political posturing, or, at worst, an explicit anti-Semite using Palestinians as a cover-up.

Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised.
Every year, researchers try to predict the four influenza strains that are most likely to be prevalent during the upcoming flu season. And every year, people line up to get their updated vaccine, hoping the researchers formulated the shot correctly.
The same is true of COVID vaccines, which have been reformulated to target sub-variants of the most prevalent strains circulating in the U.S.
This new strategy would eliminate the need to create all these different shots, because it targets a part of the viral genome that is common to all strains of a virus. The vaccine, how it works, and a demonstration of its efficacy in mice is described in a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“What I want to emphasize about this vaccine strategy is that it is broad,” said UCR virologist and paper author Rong Hai. “It is broadly applicable to any number of viruses, broadly effective against any variant of a virus, and safe for a broad spectrum of people. This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”
