Skeptical
The Supreme Court is weighing an argument for "conversion therapy" on the basis of free speech. The news is reporting that the court is "skeptical" of the argument. I'm skeptical that good will come from this debate. How can we protect people if we can't regulate what we determine is good or bad? As if we're good at doing that.
Mostly Peaceful
Thirteen people were arrested and four officers injured in a "mostly peaceful" pro-Palestinian protest in Boston. "Mostly peaceful" in the CNN sense. "Violent" in the news story. You see how it goes. Ironic that a protest for peace was violent.
Too Bad
The Israel-Hamas ceasefire started Friday. The fact that it happened is good. The fact that it was, at least partly, brought about by the Trump administration has to be bad. I mean ... it has his name attached. That makes it evil, right? Or, as the Babylon Bee puts it, "Hitler Brings Peace to Israel." I joked about the collision of "Left" and "Tesla" the other day. Now the "pro-Palestinians" have another dilemma. Is it good ... or is it Trump? Too bad.

Probably in poor taste, the Bee has a piece about New York mayoral candidate, Mandami, paragliding into an October 7 event, an obvious reference to the October 7th attack on Israel. I understand that it was 2 years ago, and complaining voices say Israel should drop it, but part of the ceasefire agreement is the release of the remaining hostages ... which, apparently the rest of the world wants Israel to forget about, too. And in a touching gesture, Letitia James tried to smooth things over with Trump by sending a heartfelt "Sorry I Maliciously Prosecuted You" card. That ought to do it. Finally, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has set up "ICE-free" zones hoping they'll work better than his "gun-free zones" did. Everyone knows "gun-free zones" are quite effective.
Must be true; I read it on the internet.

The whole thing is stupid. Isn't the entire point of therapy to convert something? You want to change yourself, so you go to a therapist to help. If someone doesn't want to believe they're the opposite sex, they should be free to seek help with that. But according to the law being argued over, someone can't go to a therapist and ask them for help I'm in feeling comfortable in their own body. Insane.
Mostly Peaceful
Not that Palestinians are known for their peacefulness. If the non-Jewish areas of Israel would stop trying to kill all the Jews, maybe we could see peace. But their stated goal is the eradication of any Jewish state.
Too Bad
I do not envy the people that both hate Trump and "want peace" in Palestine. Their heads must be about to explode.

I don't know that it's in poor taste, since he has been openly for globalizing the entifada. I'm sure he celebrated the attack on October 7th and would be honored to be associated with those "brave" men. I'm not sure how ignoring the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust would be a good thing. Is the argument that Israel should just allow their neighbors to kill it's citizens without recourse? If Israel laid down their arms today and retreated out of Gaza, the rest of the world would just let them be, and too bad about the dead Israelis and remaining hostages?
It seems counter to everything the left embraces to prevent people from voluntarily getting the therapy they choose to get.
While I welcome the peace deal, it seems reasonable to conclude that Hamas will be lobbing rockets, sending suicide bombers, digging tunnels, and all the rest as soon as they get the billions of aid money that will start flowing soon. Hopefully it'll take a few years.
Their answer seems to be continuing to support Hamas, and protesting so far.
Anything that makes Momdani look bad is in good taste. Talk about ruining NYC, while cementing it as solidly blue electorally.
