Israel must end its brutal occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which it has maintained since 1967, said Amnesty International, as public hearings begin at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to examine the legal consequences of Israel’s prolonged occupation. The public hearings are taking place in the Hague from 19 to 26 February […]

Judge Engoron just handed Trump 355 million reminders that he is not, in fact, above our great city's laws.
I am 1,000% going to vote for the Democratic nominee in November, because I don't want the world to end. I just want to make that clear because I know some people may be rightly suspicious of this type of post, for oh you know the reasons.
But after reading this excellent Ezra Klein editorial and watching the better-than-excellent Jon Stewart show on the topic, I'm actually somewhat convinced that maybe another nominee would be better. Like Klein I think Biden's done a fantastic job so far. Just, someone else might do better in the election, and beating Trump in the election is pretty important.
So, what can I do? I'm about to vote in the Democratic primary, but his two primary challengers don't seem likely to spark victory either in the primary or the general. Voting for them seems unlikely to change anything. And I am nobody of importance to call up the DNC and tell them to put up another candidate.
So what can I do? Is there anyone else who feels this way?
High-functioning autistic people should come out of the shadows.
They should openly say that they are best suited to rule and have the best ideas, i.e. libertarian ones.
This should not be an insult to Korwin or Mentzen that they are autistic (Asperger's), it should be an open advantage, and only such people should be admitted to the party.

Autyści wysokofunkcjonujący powinni wyjść z cienia.
Powinni otwarcie powiedzieć, że najlepiej nadają się do rządzenia i mają najlepsze idee, czyli libertariańskie.
To nie powinien być przytyk do Korwina czy Mentzena, że to autyści (aspergerowcy), to powinna być otwarta zaleta, i tylko takich się powinno przyjmować do partii.
