US citizens: call on your congresscritter one more time to oppose the tax attacks bill.

Former Argentine president Fernandez may be prosecuted for treason, the specific occasion being that she made an agreement with Iran to help Iranians escape prosecution for a bombing at a Jewish community center which took place in 1994.

Her alleged actions don't fit the word "treason" as it is used in the US, but would constitute a coverup of crime.

The FCC Tried To Hide Net Neutrality Complaints Against ISPs.

Success would have helped ISPs such as AT&T cover up the ways they violated network neutrality.

Jewish Voice for Peace held an event about the difference between criticism of Israeli policies and antisemitism, including for instance the antisemitism of right-wing US supporters of Israel. The Anti-Defamation League defamed the organizers, and right-wing US supporters of Israel tried to interfere with the event.

Some Orthodox Jews opposed Zionism for a century or more, and perhaps still. They believed that Jews were supposed to wait for the Messiah to bring them back to Israel, so that Zionism was sacrilege. I think that idea is ridiculous, but it certainly isn't antisemitism.

Kim told Russia he wants to negotiate with the US.

In a sense, this means that the bully's treatment of North Korea is what we would call a success. The only way to eliminate North Korea as a threat to the US, and to South Korea, is by negotiation, and it's clear Kim very much wants a deal, so it should be possible to get a good deal on peace.

Does the bully join us in calling this situation a success? Does he want to get a good deal, or does he just want to look and feel strong? If he wants a deal, why has he waited this long without negotiations? It's not as if it were news that Kim wants to negotiate. This is confirmation of what we already knew.
